The moment you walk in to Baxter's, from the beautiful water wall to the incredible copper ceiling, you know this place is different. We went for dinner and had the Burger and Handkerchief Ravioli. The burger was huge, juicy and perfectly cooked to medium rare. It was the best I have had in a long time as were the fries which, our server told us, are hand cut in the every day in the kitchen at Batxer's. The Handkerchief Ravioli was amazing! We had never seen anything like it. Two blankets of incredibly thin pasta enfolding the most amazing combination of cheese and butternut squash puree. It is totally decadent covered in brown butter and sage. It was totally unexpected. We had heard about the desserts, especially the donuts but we were still taken off guard at how good they were. They came to the table freshly cooled and piping hot. We got to sit and smell the cinnamon sugar as they cooled. Amazing, but the best part was the honey butter he got to dip them in. Imagine the lowly donut elevated to iconic status right here in Happy Valley. The interior is cozy and comfortable and we didn't want to move for a long time. the furniture is a combination of conventional tables and the most comfortable lounge furniture. I will make you want to stay a long time too. the service was great and knowledgeable about the food on the menu. What a great place to have here in SLC the experience is so simple and comfortable just like the food. We are going back for the ribs and cheesesteak, we can't wait. See you at Baxter's
Pros: ambience, food, service
