We enjoyed the watermelon carpaccio, fried green tomatoes, garden risotto with added shrimp. Everything was very good. The tomato portion was enormous and the beer batter was crispy and light. The risotto? It wasn't really risotto, it was more like a creamy rice but it was delicious. And those shrimp were big, juicy and tasted like they just came out of the sea. The watermelon, though, was a shocker. It was grilled! It had a really great smoky flavor that was totally unexpected and the dressing was light and fresh. We always sit at the bar and the service is always on point.

I had been so looking forward to dining at Baxter's 1892 with the speak easy feel and the live…read moremusic. I tried to make reservation but the restaurant would not take a reservation for one so I went early. My options were the bar or in the dark tunnel. I chose the tunnel as I thought I was going to get a table not a high top there. Then where the menu was placed that would have me facing the back wall as the other seat was near the kitchen entrance. So I moved there but I still didn't have a view of the performers. So things didn't start well but I ordered the boba boat mocktail and the mac n cheese with short ribs. My waitress then informed me that they were out of the short rib and would brisket be ok. I hate brisket so I said no and she went and got me the menu to order something else. While I was looking at the menu with my phone flashlight (other tables had actual flashlights, they came prepared) as the tunnel was too dark to see without it, I was given mac n cheese with short rib according to the food runner. I questioned him as I had been told they were out but he went and checked and told me it was the last of the short rib. It was not short rib and someone lied. When the waitress returned, she thought it was burnt ends and checked with the kitchen and they told her brisket. Whatever the mystery meat was, it was not what I ordered. Did they think I wouldn't notice or know the meats are prepared differently. It is dark there so it is hard to know what you are eating. The mystery meat dish was taken back to the kitchen and I asked if they could prepare it with vegetables instead as mac n cheese seemed like the safest option on the menu with the mystery meats. I wish they just had what I originally ordered. The specialty made veggie dish was good but I expected more flavors with the cheese. It was kind of bland. I did try the dessert too. I got the strawberry lemonade cake. The strawberries were the best part as the cake was on the dry side. While eating this, the check was brought to the table. This is my biggest pet peeve to not wait until the guest is finished eating. The most frustrating part was that while they refused to increase the lighting when I arrived and asked as I couldn't read the menu. They immediately turned the lights up when another guest asked as I was finishing my dessert. The chef came to the table from the front dining area. It was my understanding that things were going to be made right. I didn't expect to be charged the full price for the dish without the premium meat. Then there was the service failure of bringing out a dish I hadn't ordered to begin with. The decor here is outstanding, with the copper ceilings and the speakeasy feel. The clock out front caught my attention too. They went all out with the details and elegance. So it is disappointing that the food and service is not up to the same standards.

Didn't happen to us, but when we arrived, there was indeed a train sitting there, and some cars in front, well, they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. Inside is all vibes, kind of set up like an old pharmacy, but slinging cocktails instead, and I have to say, the cocktails were very tasty and well priced. All the tables were full of friend and family groups playing board games and enjoying various flatbreads and libations. Seems like the kind of place the local neighborhoods enjoy and spend quite a bit of time at. At the moment, can't remember the names of the cocktails we got, its been a few months. But I do remember the toasts. This place doesnt have a kitchen in a traditional sense, more like a prep area where they bring ingredients together (that I imagine are made off site) and toast it up to present you with some pretty unique combos and flavors. Honestly, a great way around some of the health code restrictions that start to apply to more in-depth operations while still having a robust menu. We ordered a variety for the 4 of us, as this was dinner that evening. Gettin Figgy with it was a favorite, as were the Pig and the Goat, and the Reuben. Their version of a Cubano was alright, but as could be the case you'd imagine, the pork was a little dry. The caprese was the only one we got that seemed to be a universal thumbs down, the avocado spread wasn't working with the other ingredients. Definitely would come back for some of these toasts, and drinks!

Follow up!!!! So I…read morehad posted this review once and got an email from Yelp that they were removing it with no explanation as to why other than to say it appeared I was never at that establishment. Let me be very clear. I've been to this restaurant three or four times and none of them were exceptional. Most were OK. But the visit in question was quite bad and exactly as I had previously described. So I'm simply going to repost that same review here because it was very accurate to my experience and if anyone challenges as to whether or not, I was actually there I still have the receipt because it was a business trip and I can verify it Came by kind of late on a Tuesday. So had a very limited selection for menu options. Ok I get that. So - Fried anything or nachos that was it. Ordered a Mich. Ultra - never said bottle or draft. Didn't care. She gave me a bottle. The beer was Luke warm at best. So then I chose the Nachos. OMG. What is that stuff they call cheese!?!?!!! It was the texture of hummus and the color of a banana milk shake. Bad taste - very bad - and worse texture and smelled awful.. Nachos were NOT good not even a little bit!!! So then I asked about the warm beer. No apologies or effort to resolve it. Just a - "would you like another one?'" I asked - if it could be cold I would. She said you wanna try a draft instead!? So I said again - as long as it's cold - OK. It was warmer than the first one. WOW. So disappointed. Service was not great. But it was late. I hardly touched the Nachos. No questions - like were the nachos ok!? Or Would you like a to-go box. No concern as to why I didn't eat them. Just pulled them away and threw them away. But my bill was full charge. 2 beers and the nachos. I had about 4 chips and about 3/4 of one beer!!! I couldn't get out of that place fast enough. They were more interested in their crowd of friends who were gathered in a corner table and their plans to go out after that place closed. Very disappointed in this my 3-4 visit there. May be my last. Wow!
