    This was my second time here in two weeks and I need more people to know about this amazing spot in Vallejo! Village is like a hipster wine lounge with an eclectic food selection. Cue the dj playing music just soft enough that you can tap your feet but still carry a conversation with those in your party. While the inside is a bit small, the outdoor area has tables and chairs to get fresh air and lounge under the sun (or stars). During my last visit, I tasted bites directly from their menu. Our favorite thing we ate was the ham and jam toast - the only thing I'd change is that it leaned mostly savory. Give me a touch more sweetness and I'm sold for next time. Tonight I enjoyed food from their pop up collab and enjoyed a celery soda and fish sandwich. I came with my mom and we also shared the Vietnamese bbq chips and a black sesame cookie. That sandwich was pretty incredible - a thin piece of fried fish topped with an extra creamy and dill forward tartar sauce. Service is order up front and then they brought us our food and drink. It makes it easier to get in and quickly find a spot to dine in. Overall, Vallejo is blessed to have such a cool addition to the neighborhood. Looking forward to my next visit!

    This place is a vibe. I'm talking Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, cool. Local is what I'm looking for and what I found here when it comes to a beer or two. Shoutout to Ben for providing perfect service and sharing the deets about what happens here such as Monday popups. The outdoor patio is perfect and spacious enough for a group of friends. Music isn't blaring and if you have the DJ skills, apparently you can spin it on Wednesdays. Stop by folks!

    Don't believe that 2 star review down there idk what place they experienced but it's not the one I went to. This place has good wine (both on tap and bottled). We were offered a free bar snack, kettle chips, during our first visit. They have great DJs come through. The sound system is perfectly fine. A "2nd hand sound system from the 1970s" isn't necessary, take that vintage stereo circlejerk bs elsewhere... also a disclaimer I do not know the owners I am a Filipino guy from San Bruno california and I spend a lot of time in Vallejo and I want Vallejo businesses to win. I would suggest looking at Me's other reviews (lots of 1 stars including Verizon and Grocery Outlet lmao) Ps they have great espresso and carry micro brew cans and Narragansett cans

    We heard about Village from the SF Chronicle article. Since it's right down the street we decided to meet a friend here before a show. The servicers were warm and friendly. We weren't clear if we needed to order at the bar or wait for our servicer. We ended up ordering from the bar. Upon leaving we did see a small sign, that says Order at the Bar and Bust your own table. I don't think we busted our own table... sorry . They may want to make that sign bigger and have a couple scattered around the space for clarity. We had already had dinner, so we just ordered the cookies which was awesome, my wife said it was too sweet for her but I loved it. It came out warm, which was a nice touch. The only thing that could have elevated it was some vanilla ice cream. When our friend came, she wanted a glass of bold red, but the red they had by the glass was a light red blend, she tried it but it wasn't what she was looking for; so we had to buy a bottle so she could get the red she wanted. I do wish there were a few more options by the glass because we were just meeting up and didn't really have time to finish a bottle, but we sent the bottle home with our friend. Overall, the space is nice, clean, modern and there's an outdoor area that will be really nice when it gets warmer. Our friend is from out of the area and she had a hard time finding the spot because it kind of looks like a house. This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and I am so happy to have another spot to go to in Vallejo.

    Awesome spot. The vibes are on point, the wine is great, and the vinyl music sets the tone. Tony at the front is awesome and makes you feel right at home.

    Every food item I had was amazing. My favorite snack was the olives! Sweet, crunchy, and spicy all at the same time. The servers were attentive and super sweet. The whole vibe in there was laid back and cozy. They have good wine prices in my opinion

    Two of the Village team behind the bar -- terrific service

    So happy Village has opened! Sharing a wall with Personal Space art gallery (also high on my VJO favorites list), Village is already attracting Vallejo's diverse community of artists, writers, musicians, and other interesting, engaging people. The small plates, made with locally-sourced ingredients, are a real treat: pho-flavored potato chips were a delightful surprise (yes, tastes like the soup broth!); charred olives with chili crisp are a yummy starter with a glass of white wine; white bean dip is silky smooth and comes with a colorful variety of veggies to scoop it up; savory lumpia with lettuce wraps, sprigs of cilantro and mint, and dipping sauce have a nice, spicy kick to them; the cookie I had for dessert was big in size and flavor. They have a good selection of wines by the bottle, and two by-the-glass wines -- a white and a light red. I'm hoping they will expand their by-the-glass offerings, but I'm happy with the two they offer, and no doubt my friends and I will be sharing each others' bottles. I also enjoyed the house-made bergamot shrub from their non-alcohol selection. OK, yeah, so I kinda pigged out, but the prices were quite reasonable. Village's vibe is exactly what I was hoping for. Unlike bars, Village is the kind of place that I, as a woman, feel comfortable being there solo as well as with friends. It's a space that inspires conversations with strangers while also allowing you to quietly enjoy the scene and the music (all vinyl records, yay!) with your bev of choice. Plus the Village team are wonderful -- attentive, warm and welcoming. The kind of people I like to be around. It takes a Village -- yet another reason why I'm so glad I moved to Vallejo.

    The menu selections were broad enough to be interesting, but not so deep that it felt overwhelming…read more I created a tasting, taking it slow, and enjoyed each of my selections. Starting with the Mt. Beautiful Estate Sauvignon Blanc, found this good. It's good, but not great. It's a decent wine but I think there are other more interesting Australian wines out there. The Rabble Rosé from Paso Robles was crisp with just an edge of tart. Like roasted strawberries, if that makes sense. And the Seaglass Riesling from the central coast is now a fave. It's a sweeter wine and a good end to a tasting, for sure. Glad I explored that one. It far exceeded my expectations. The vibe is good. The team is wonderful, caring and attentive, even if their internet went down and they weren't able to process cards quickly. They kept their frustrations focused on the tech and their attention on their customers. And the people who come in - there for a good time. This was our first experience here. We'll be back, for sure!

I was not allowed with my 5 month old baby to have a glass of wine in the patio. I was told there's a "no under 21" rule that apparently includes babies. That honestly didn't make sense to me. this is an infant, not even eating solid food yet. I've been to wineries in Napa with my baby and never had an issue, so this felt unwelcoming. This felt like a made up rule to protect non-mother customers, and Benicia is known for that. Horrible. What made it worse was how it was handled. The waitress(blonde, short hair mid-aged lady) came off rude and said, "no under 21, sorry--unless it's a dog haha," and then told me I could go to the taphouse on the corner. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. I even tried calling afterward to speak with a manager, but no one answered. Overall, it left a really bad impression, and I don't feel comfortable coming back after this.

It was a very busy evening and extremely chaotic. There was a private event for a birthday in a separate room, the bar area, and another room where there was a jazz event going on where our party was located. We were 4 people from a party of 20. Because there were several guests already at the table we were opposite ends of the table. They managed to skip both our food and drink orders, 2 out of the 4 of us were seated the entire time and just blatantly ignored while the other 2 tried to find anyone who would take a drink order. The 2 waitresses tending to our area passed us several times even the couple times we tried to physically waive them down, and when they did briefly make eye contact a couple times, it was just a very quick smile as they immediately turned away to take care of something else. They skipped us when taking the food order (literally watched them take the food order of the other guests at our table and simply walk away without taking ours, and every time they passed by still wouldn't acknowledge us as they were clearly slammed and trying to deal with the massive crowd. While we waited at the bar after almost 2 hours of not being able to get a drink, we overheard multiple staff members voice how frustrated and overwhelmed they were. It's a shame because the menu looked good and the other guests were nice and the staff were cordial. I'm sure on a slow day it's great, but we ended up having to leave and go to Olive Garden because our elderly guest's blood sugar was beginning to drop and no one was trying to take her food order.

    It's been a while since I've come here pre covid. I remember coming here for at least 10 years…read more.. We came down to Benicia for the UBE festival on first Street. Unfortunately, the festival did not serve any liquor so we decided head down to the local bar before we enjoy the festival and all the food it had. We walked into the bar, and it felt like the establishment hasn't changed a bit. The ambiance is the dark speakeasy bar feeling. We sat at the bar and were greeted by a super nice bartender who made some delicious drinks! Back in the day there used to be brunch and a bigger food menu but they have stopped that. The buffet I guess was a waste and a lot of food didn't get eaten. They used to have a make your own Bloody Mary bar, but didn't see that either. The menu is on an IPad and it's nice to see the photos of what the every drink looks like. There is an assortment of drinks to choose from. This is one of the bars that actually knows how make drinks!We order a mixture of drinks, from the key lime pie martini, to the spicy jalapeño margaritas with the Tajin rim, to the delicious pear drink! These drinks were made with love! I would definitely recommend this place for drinks, during the evening they usually have a band playing. The only reason why it's not a 5 star is the old furniture... I used to love sitting on the sofas for a cozy feeling but they look pretty beat up now... just makes things look a bit dirty.

I ordered the sea bass, my husband had the salmon, my sister had a salad, and her husband enjoyed the filet mignon. Every dish was delicious, but the sea bass deserves special recognition. As someone who orders sea bass whenever I can, I've had it in Pismo Beach, Monterey, and San Francisco, and Baxter's has set a new standard. It was incredibly fresh, melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a perfectly crisp sear that locked in all of its delicate flavor. Every bite was moist, flaky, and cooked to perfection. It was honestly the best sea bass I've ever had. The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Combined with the elegant atmosphere and classic white tablecloths, Baxter's was the perfect place to celebrate. We'll definitely be back!

    If you're looking for the kind of dinner that makes you want to cancel your other weekend plans…read morejust so you can go back, Baxters is it. Tucked right on First Street across from the bay in downtown Benicia, this place has completely earned its reputation as the town's culinary crown jewel. From the moment you walk in, the warmth is unmistakable -- and it's not an accident. Owners Kenneth Coker and Kevin Shaw built this restaurant to feel like their own living room, and it shows in every detail, right down to the name (a sweet nod to their beloved Fox Terrier). That personal touch translates into genuinely attentive service that never feels stiff or rehearsed. Now, the food. The Beef Wellington is the stuff of legend -- perfectly rendered pastry, a filling that melts before you even chew, and clearly a labor of love from the kitchen. The scallops are seared to that impossible perfection where the outside caramelizes but the inside stays buttery-soft. And if salmon gnocchi in vodka sauce is on the menu when you go, order it without hesitation -- it's rich, comforting, and impossible to stop eating. Even the truffle burger, which almost feels like an afterthought on a menu this elevated, has become a neighborhood obsession for good reason. Cocktails are crafted with the same care as the food -- inventive, well-balanced, and clearly the product of a team that takes its bar program seriously. And if you can snag a reservation in The Speakeasy, the intimate back room, do it. It's easily one of the most romantic, memorable settings for a special occasion in the entire Bay Area. Baxters isn't just a great restaurant -- it's a genuine gathering place, the kind of spot a whole town falls in love with. Whether it's date night, a family celebration, or just a nightcap at the bar, Baxters delivers an experience that's warm, delicious, and utterly memorable every single time. Highly, highly recommended.
