Basil & Baxter's Kitchen & Cocktails

Very delicious meal. I had the Mediterranean steak it was out of this world. Our waitress was awesome very professional. We got our meal in a reasonable time frame. I recommend that people should try it at least once. I will be back.

Have been here twice for brunch and had an amazing experience. The food is some of the best in the area. They were pretty slammed both times and still had very good service considering how busy they were. I definitely suggest making a reservation for busy times because it is a popular spot!

Food was just basic not bad but nothing special and sat an hour and never got drinks we ordered. I get being busy but they had tons of staff and half were just walking around pouring water. I went for bottomless mimosas and everyone came in after got theirs I never got mine and couldn’t get servers attention mention to the water people multiple times and finally he realized we were done eating and I just asked for check. Everyone has raved about this place and I wanted to give a chance but definitely not seeing the appeal

Super surprised on this place! Looks old from the outside but dont let that fool you, its beautiful inside. Great food, beautiful decor , awesome wine list. Will definitely come back.

Brunch has some great options! The run sauce for the beignets is to die for. The remodel is beautiful, and it brightens up the whole ambiance. Service was great even though they were so busy. They take reservations, and I would recommend having one when you go. 🧡

We looked at the pictures of the food here before we came so we had high expectations, and we were no let down. I was surprised by its location but that doesn't matter. Great food with very friendly and helpful staff. Our server's recommendations were all spot on. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. I we had one complaint it was the sangrias were maybe a little weak.

We absolutely LOVE this little hidden gem! This past weekend we went twice, once for dinner on Saturday night, and it was SO good we just had to come back for brunch in the morning 😊. The food here is phenomenal!! For dinner we had the Shrimp Beignets (those are SOO delish!), the Lemon Chicken (with extra veggies and no potatoes) and the Chicken Alfredo… for brunch we had the Sugar Beignets, the brunch buffet and the Gouda Bacon Jam Omelette (they had me at Bacon Jam😝)… the service is JUST as amazing as the food (you ROCK Cheryl!) … if you haven’t gone, check ‘em out for yourself

What a great dining experience!! This place doesn't look like much from the outside but inside it's great atmosphere, service and food. Our waitress was very nice and helpful and the food was delicious. I will definitely be bringing my family back

Hidden gem. Had the seafood platter blacken. Wife had grouper with a mango salsa. We also had shrimp bisque and andouille sausage sandwich. All I can say everything was excellent. Customer service was excellent 👌

Absolutely Amazing Dining
Though this restaurant doesn’t have the “beach view” that you come to Destin for, it definitely compensates.
I would highly recommend making a reservation because your table will be pre-set with waters. Though, it generally does not get very busy, allowing for little/no wait for seating and food.
Food:
Bread rolls (10/10) - absolutely amazing complimentary bread
Grouper Maque Choux (10/10) - dinner special served our night, consists of fish and shrimp over a plate of corn and sausage
Creamy Tuscan Chicken (10/10) - the parmesean sauce was brilliant and the
