The menu is limited to signature offering of various dishes eliminating the tough choices between offerings. The daily special was a nice addition to the menu. All food was plated on various china which added to the fun of it all. My wife and I shared 2 separate meals and both were 10/10 in our opinion. This place will be on our very short list of great food, great folks, and great experience.

We saw good reviews, so we hopped off the interstate and checked this place out for dinner. They…read morewere moderately busy, about 1/3 capacity. That was not the problem. The food took over 30 minutes, which wouldn't be a deal breaker, if it was hot. The fries were cold. That's a death sentence in my opinion. The burger was fine, though not hot, at least warm enough. Sorry, maybe impressive for some, but not for this guy. I would have been happier at the BBQ joint across the street.

The caccio e pepe had truffles, but the truffle flavor didn't overwhelm the pasta. You have to save room for the chocolate mousse for dessert! We would absolutely come again. Also, just because this was something that concerned us, but you do not have to be a guest at the hotel in order to dine here.

A group of us came here for dinner after wedding dress shopping for a friend. The space is…read morebeautifully decorated. We started with drinks at the bar. The peach cider on tap was excellent and other customers said their cocktails were really good. The service was good. We were a group of 5 and were seated at a 2 person table pushed together with a 4 person table. The 4 person table had regular table legs in the 4 corners. When it was pushed against the bench, this made it impossible to get to our seats on the bench, especially in a dress. Kind of a crazy design. I had the pasta and it was fine. Nothing to rave about and pretty pricy to leave still hungry. I had considered the cod with peanut sauce and cauliflower puree. We were informed they didn't have cod anymore and it was either salmon or tilapia. It seemed crazy to charge $23 for tilapia while salmon & peanut sauce combo did not sound that great. A friend did order it and was unfortunately disappointed. The cauliflower was so puréed it ended up being very thin like a sauce. So, she ended up with 1 piece of fish with different sauces on her plate. No vegetables or carbs to go with the fish.

Unfortunately, it was the only item on the menu they didn't have. Bummer. They're having issues with production which they should get back up and running soon. I ended up getting the Jambon. It was tasty, but really wasn't what I wanted so I went back for lunch by next day! Enjoyed a glass of white with one of their cheese boards. Fantastic. The staff is very friendly and the vibes are great. The farm is really nice too! I will definitely come back, but I'd call first to make sure they have what I want. Would love to come in sometime and try their dinner menu.

Great local beers and the food was quite good. Definitely a keeper! It's a 5 star for us!read more

It's a nice vibe inside and seems like it would be fun on a game day. But the service was incredibly slow-- we were waiting for our drinks, appetizer, and food each individually for a very long time. I am not sure if grad weekend was unaccounted for in staffing or something of the sort but I was certainly tough and we narrowly escaped being late to the ceremony, not due to our own poor planning. Another note-- our waitress was lovely and it was not her fault! Also the onion rings are presented in a ridiculous way

I don't even LIKE sliders, but this put me on! You can have many different smaller burgers for the same stomach space as a regular burger... its genius The ambiance of the bar is something that I love as well - whether you go here for a date or just to chit chat with your homies, the dim lighting makes this feel like a speakeasy, but the server's (who clearly work very hard, so props!) move around with such delicate urgency it makes you feel as though this place is the spot everyone wants to be at. Loved the food and the environment.

We visited Baxter expecting to have a finer dining experience in the Champaign area. When we…read morearrived, we were greeted and seated promptly. We ordered two of their specialty cocktails, which took a little long to be delivered but subsequently were very good. Next we ordered the stuffed mushrooms, Halibut and filet medallions. Service was a little slow so we decided to just enjoy the time together. Our appetizer arrived and was outstanding. It was a bit of a wait for our entrees to appear and when they did we were disappointed with the wait. The filet was ordered medium well and arrived seared to almost well done other than the very center was cold and red. The halibut was overcooked as well but regardless I decided to enjoy the halibut because it was still palatable. The filet, on the other hand was not. It was tough and just not very good. I fully expected to spend the money on a fine dining experience but didn't feel that experience was met. We will try Baxter again in the future with hopes of a better experience but our history there has been hit and miss!

The gnocchi was promoted as 'crisp' which I found intriguing. Not crisp at all. Standard fair. Filet was okay, but not great. Mushroom sauce was great! Ambiance is that of a classic steak house. Nice place, will come back again to try the steak.

They added a $36 charge for our party of 6 for my birthday since it was on one bill. I wonder what they do if everyone had paid their own bill? The real killer was that we were charged for a Tiramisu dessert ($12) that was NOT ordered, but was brought to the table and refused by all of us and returned to the kitchen. Like the way the world is going, they charge you 3.00% credit card surcharge. ($5.76). It's time to start carrying cash again.
