Restaurants near John Muir National Historic Site

Baxter's provides an excellent dining experience! Their food is superb, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is perfect! It is our 'go to' place for special events.

We had carpaccio for an appetizer and it was delicious. I had the fish special; grilled swordfish on a bed of mushroom risotto; it was immaculate. Both my companions had the chicken parmigiana. The portions were large and well cooked. The seasoning was very good and the sauce was delicious. For dessert we split the bread pudding. Possibly the best I’ve had.

Great find! Food, service and view were all fantastic!

Wonderful meal, drinks and ambiance. Not too many tables in use so I can see it could be overly loud if filled up but tonight was perfect.

Went here for Valentine’s Day dinner and the place was packed. Service was excellent as was our server, Matt! We had the zucchini strings and I honestly could’ve just had that for dinner. They are so flavorful and the dipping sauce was amazing. I had the short rib parpadelle which is my favorite dish. Just the right amount of spice in the meat and such a huge serving with wonderful noodles. We also tried the new pizza. Meat lovers was loaded with fresh meats and the crust was perfect, not burnt. Everyone was very attentive to us. What a great experience! This will be definitely be a regular dinner spot for us!
