My friends and I went for their bottomless mimosa brunch, and it was such a fun and great experience. There was a dj who played all the nostalgic music we grew up with! Vibes! Food was delicious. Best of all, Shayne (the manager I assume) was so friendly and accommodating! 10/10. Would do again.

This was our first time at Commis and it was amazing! The food was excellent and the 10 courses left me just the right amount of full. We did the drink pairing with our courses and it was perfect, I definitely recommend adding that to the experience. Chef outdid themselves and the service was 10/10. We will be back!

Always excellent. Tried the beans with corn bread for the first time. Delicious beans and light and fluffy cornbread. Liver paté is always our fav and served with a slightly spicy fruit spread. And the gazpacho with poached shrimp is excellent too. Great service.

Service was excellent and food was surprisingly good across the board. I say surprisingly because we picked it largely out of geographic convenience before a concert. But every dish was quite well done. And drinks were good as well. Would go back in a heartbeat if I’m in the area. And shout out to the wait-staff for pacing everything out really well in a full restaurant before a show at the Greek Theatre.

We had a great anniversary dinner at Boulevard. The food was excellent and the staff/management even had a handwritten and signed anniversary card for us. Thank you for a memorable night.

    Baxters is my favorite restaurant in Benicia. The food, drinks, ambiance and people are amazing. I haven’t had one bad thing there. The smash burgers are to die for, pair them with their fries and truffle aioli. The cocktails are fresh and strong. The croissant fresh toast was perfectly caramelized with crispy edges. So good!!! The people are very hospitable and make your visit special. Great place to visit.

    Blossom and Root continues to be a reliable source of delicious food, great service (friendly, efficient and patient) and wonderful atmosphere where diner can talk. Crab cakes and mushroom lettuce cups were highlights. Our group of six had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend.
