    The smell when we got out of the car was so delicious.. The service was fast and it was very busy…read more We got our food so fast . 5for sure. If you don't eat that much. I suggest you order a plate to share. The food comes in big portions. 1 thing one of the guys from the kitchen was rude. When my daughter ask about giving the tip to the young lady. He had a bald head rude. Other than that the food rule. I will come back.

    Starting off with the food was great. It was very well prepared and displayed. The drinks were…read moretasty as well. The elote burrito was delicious and the million dollar bacon was as good as advertised. The spiked watermelon wake-up was refreshing as well. Now the bad, while the staff was nice it was incredibly unorganized. I had overheard them saying the kitchen was understaffed but that would mean nothing to the tables that sat empty adding to the extended wait. I was there for 1:15hrs and one of the tables next to mine sat dirty the entire meal service Many many tables sat unbused while people were waiting patiently to try this establishment. My waiter actually got one of the lower tips I've ever given anyone as he had us wait 10 min for a drink order, told us he was going to bring some waters and we didn't see him again, while three cups sat empty on our table till right before we got out check. This wasn't what I expected with how nice and clean the place is advertised. Two tables as pictured had trash under them from the time I arrived till after I left, super unacceptable. I don't know who the manager on shift was, but they def could have reallocated their resources to resetting the dining room to accept more guests by simply cleaning tables after someone ate there. May or may not be back again.

    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.

    I wish there was a location closer to where I live! For a chain restaurant (that is known more for…read morethings other than food) they have always been amazing and consistent. Coming to this location for the first time proved that streak still continues. The LUMP BLUE CRAB BISQUE - Sherry, Cream, Crushed Herb Croutons to start was fabulous. The MACADAMIA-NUT-CRUSTED SNAPPER - Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, Almond Rice, Grilled Asparagus, Wasabi Soy Beurre Blanc was just as good. Yes, something I usually pass on entirely, dessert, the key lime pie was great too. The only disappointment was the piña colada I ordered. The "bar" is set high on this one by the Marlin Bar in Orlando so I'll give them a pass. Service was very attentive and the place itself is brand new. I wish the developer would have made more parking closer to the buildings. In the off season it was nuts, coming here during peak season is going to be a challenge. One aspect they truly excel at is the live entertainment. The music is just right--loud enough for the audience to sing "Sweet Caroline," yet soft enough to allow for casual conversations at the table.

    My family and I have been coming to Tommy Bahama's every…read moreyear while on vacation, and it has always been one of the places we make a point to visit multiple times during our trip. We are typically there at least three out of the seven days we stay in town. Unfortunately, after our experience on Mother's Day, we do not plan on returning. We arrived around 4:30 p.m. with a party of nine, hoping to enjoy some of the happy hour menu and pricing. We were kept waiting in the front until exactly 5:00 p.m., even though it was obvious that tables on the back deck were already available. Once seated, our server was polite and did a good job taking care of us. During conversation, we mentioned the long wait, and he explained that it is apparently "protocol" to delay seating larger parties until after 5:00 so they do not receive happy hour pricing. If that is truly company policy, I find it extremely disappointing and dishonest. We felt manipulated instead of welcomed. The food quality was also far below what we have experienced in past years. The crusted snapper that was recommended to us was terrible and had to be sent back. My grandson's burger was also very poor quality and honestly unpleasant. The only dishes our table generally agreed were decent were the squash casserole bowl and the chicken parmesan. Another disappointment was learning that bread is no longer served. For families with children, that was always something simple that helped while waiting on meals. Between the removal of those small touches, the higher prices, and the noticeable decline in food quality, the restaurant no longer feels worth returning to. I'm not writing this to get anyone in trouble. I'm writing because this restaurant used to be one of the highlights of our vacation every year, and it is frustrating to see the experience decline this much. Chris Tomlinson
