    Music bingo
    Michael W.

    Start by saying that I will try it again. Sat at downstairs bar for dinner, view of harbor is beautiful, bingo night (fun!) only 1 bartender and was very busy. Hard to get his attention for help, beer out of tap was warm, took a sip then asked him to trade out for bottle beer.still charged $6+ for it. Shrimp tacos were very good.Add in Caesar salad small, not worth cost.

    Chicken fried steak

    I wish I lived close enough to visit this place regularly. My husband got two lunch specials (Tues-Sat, 11am-3pm) to go for us and I can 100% guarantee that you will not find a better special anywhere in the whole state of Florida! I have never come across a better chicken fried steak, although the mashed potatoes and gravy could've been more savory (but I won't hold that against them). It even came with a slice of pie, all for under $15pp!

    Respectable bar and seafood restaurant on the Niceville inlet... Wharf 850 was alright... Good quality seafood, fast and friendly service, and nice waterside views (the best part). This is definitely a locals joint, but everyone was friendly and courteous (had that nice Florida hospitality). Be prepared though... This place is way overpriced ($80 for dinner, just me), but the views and vibes *somewhat* make up for the customer price gouging. All-in-all, pretty good... Dave Portnoy 7.1

    $Crab Cake Cheese Grits

    Such a cute restaurant! Right on the water, the perfect place to take cute dinner pictures. I ordered a crab cake with grits... which I'm not going to lie was not the best. But the waiter and chef were kind and replaced it with a cheese burger and fries (which was very good!). So I'd give the service a 10/10 just because they were so accommodating!

    We sauntered in here randomly on a Friday afternoon. We were greeted by a very pleasant staffer who directed us to the dining area upstairs. It was totally unexpected. The views and ambiance were serene, making an already beautiful day more beautiful and more peaceful! I ordered the crab claws. They didn't disappoint. My mother got a grilled Romaine salad. It was unique... in the past, I've only ever had grilled romaine as a Ceasar salad, which is delectable. They chose what seemed to a balsamic vinaigrette. The lettuce was tasty. The venue is so cute with country modern decor. The service was great and I enjoyed my cocktail! They also have live music on Friday evenings. Definitely will be back

    A nice place at the water shore, great seating options inside or outside. I was craving something that wasn't too heavy and was pleased with the crispy shrimp tacos (without coleslaw). They had a good amount of shrimp per taco! However, those fresh cut French fries were too good to go to waste. My friend's chicken caesar salad wrap looked simple but met the intent. Some good options on the menu for anyone! Enjoyed that it was clean and great spot to be with friends or family.

    Service is somewhat slow but it's so good and with that view, it's worth it!! Updated menu with a $14.95 lunch special that includes a piece of pie. I tried the peanut butter pie, it was delicious and my husband had the Keylime pie and also loved it!

    The view here is second to none and our server handled a table of almost 20 like a champion. My bronzed chicken was more blackened but that's okay. Everything I ordered was perfect and the crab dip was pretty good. They have an outdoor bar for late night drinking as well and overall was a good experience.

    I'll be honest--when we pulled up to Basil & Baxter's Kitchen for a group dinner, I had no idea…read morewhat to expect. From the outside, the place looks small and quite unassuming. But as the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. We were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite the modest exterior, the food is nothing short of world-class. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Since we were a large group, we ended up ordering a significant portion of the menu. Between us, we tried the fish, shrimp, and various pasta plates. It felt like we sampled almost everything they offer, and every single dish was an absolute hit. It's rare to find a place where the entire table is equally impressed with their meal, but Basil & Baxter's pulled it off effortlessly. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and handled our group with the kind of professionalism that makes a night out feel special. If you're in Niceville, do not pass this place up. It might look humble from the street, but the flavors and hospitality inside are massive. We will definitely be back!

    We have been here a few times over the last few years. We have been with a group of 8-10 and all…read morehave had great meals. This particular Thursday night was a little off. They are always busy with tables and to go orders. There must of been new bartender. My husband and I had ordered the mock Butterfly and Lemonade drink we had previously and enjoyed. The first time we had it, it came out in a regular tall water glass. This time it came in a martini glass and the first sip was....OMG strong with liquor. We sent them back to get the nonalcoholic drinks and they came back in a whisky glass, not the taller water glass. Not sure if this was a mistake or they really raised their prices. The lemonade drink with a little color added to it is $7! But, the food is always delicious. My husband had the pot pie and it was the size of a regular 12 inch pie! I had the pork chop which was thick and tender. Some in our party love the bisque soup and order a bowl, which is huge. The cup size was more what we expect as a bowl size. The shrimp and grits is phenomenal too, which I have personally tried. Service is great and friendly. You are given a basket of delicious crusty warm buns comped but if you ask for more (which we did) note that they are .50 cents each. We will continue to visit this restaurant each winter while we are here.
