I had the chicken caprese sandwich and my friend had the chicken salad on croissant . They were both amazing . The caprese sandwich was so tasty and the chicken was nice and juicy . The honey balsamic added just the right amount of sweetness. The chicken salad was flavorful with grapes and nuts it all worked well together . The only complain was the croissant was hard to bite . Overall the food was delicious. Our server was nice and attentive and kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back and I hope to get back for dinner one evening . This is a nice quaint place and the ambiance reminds me of a French cafe .

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.

Similar to olive gardens I think.

My husband and I generally like going to The Boathouse Landing but might have to rethink that in…read morethe future. I ordered one of the most expensive dishes on the menu $29.99 and he ordered a $15.99 coconut chicken salad along with two diet cokes. When we got the check they had calculated the check with a 20% service charge. We asked what it was and was told it was 16% for her and 4% for the kitchen. Nothing based on the service or how good the food was an automatic 20%. No warning at all! As they were seating, another customer that server said have you been to the boathouse before and the customer said yes. So she stated you are aware of the service charge then. The customer said yes. Maybe us saying something about it is why she said that, not sure, but we were never informed and we've never had that explained to us before either.

(I used to work in the restaurant industry so my standards for 5 stars are significantly higher and…read moreI don't give out 5 stars very often). The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Full bar. Plenty of domestic & imported beers on tap or bottled/canned along with mixed drinks and hard seltzers. They even have a couple alcohol-free options and energy drinks. I got 20 boneless wings (10 Lemon Pepper Dry Rub and 10 Honey BBQ). The Honey BBQ was sweet and savory with just the right amount of sauce on the wings. The Lemon Pepper was more on the lemon-y side but not overpowering and had a hint of that pepper kick as an aftertaste. The chicken is juicy with just the right amount of crunch from the breading. The wings are great just as they are but they're better with some ranch dipping sauce (I'm a ranch kinda guy lol). The sweet potato fries have that nice balance between a crunchy outside with a soft inside, sprinkled with salt. The breading on their jumbo onion rings actually sticks to the onion itself and doesn't fall off or disintegrate the minute you bite into it. The ranch sauce is savory, it complements the other textures and flavors well. The overall vibe I get from this place is uplifting but relaxed. They have multiple TVs that're usually playing sports. The floor plan is open and organized. Plenty of room to walk around without feeling like you have to squeeze yourself between chairs. Clean, neat, and orderly. The prices aren't that bad for what you get. It's a little more expensive than your typical restaurant but I also ordered 20 boneless wings, two premium sides, and had a tall Blue Moon but the price is well worth what you're getting. The food tastes AUTHENTIC, like everything they have is made in house. None of it tastes like it comes premade in a bag or a can and they just heat it up before serving. It's what you'd expect in a restaurant like this. If you're in the Destin/Niceville/Crestview area you NEED to come here and get their boneless wings.
