Baxter's is probably the most impressive restaurant I have been to in a while. It is just what Salt Lake needs right now. It is very hip but still so cozy and warm. I don't think I have seen a friendlier, more knowledgeable staff. My husband and I went their before seeing a show at the Depot, and have been back twice since then. The chef from Baxter's was even on ""Good things Utah"" (I only know that because he actually came out to the table to see how everything was! Very impressive!). The menu was so diverse it was hard to decide what to get. They have everything from pizza and burgers to wine brazed lamb shank. There is definitely something for everyone! I had the ribs and they were amazing! Perfectly done, with beautiful presentation! The waiter was so knowledgeable on the menu, you could tell he actually knew what each item tasted like. For me that is very helpful. I have to say though the most impressive thing for me was the dessert! Between my husband and I we have tried most of them and it would be hard for me to pick a favorite. I would recommend this place solely based on the dessert! The hot, fresh, cinnamon sugar donuts (with chocolate, raspberry and honey butter dipping sauces are incredible), but there is also a cheesecake with a brownie! Not to mention my obsession with the chocolate ice cream dish (not sure the name) amazing and once again beautiful presentation. Very reasonably priced for the quality you receive. I could go on and on but this is definitely the spot to check out! Oh and I know it sounds strange but you have to try the cucumber martini! I was hesitant but I love it! I don't normally even like gin (vodka girl) but it was refreshing and delicious!
Pros: food, ambiance, and service
Cons: none!
