👍👍 Another nice place in southend to enjoy some good drinks and small plates. Great atmosphere. My favorite tapas was definitely the mussels! It was absolutely tasty. I wouldn’t recommend the meatballs, it tasted like what you would get at groceries.

Global wines & locally sourced Iberian tapas in a rustic space with Spanish & Moorish accents.

👍👍 I was hesitant because I am from Spain and the USA is far away from spain, so normally I have been offered some fake food whenever I go to a “Spanish” restaurant. To my surprise, the experience we had here was amazing! My benchmark was the sangria - as wine will always taste the same. The sangria c...

Chill eatery serving sophisticated, locally sourced seafood plates, plus tapas, wine & martinis.

👍👍 We absolutely loved the food! The tuna was so good, definitely my favorite. And the gnocchi (not pictured) is a must!

Sophisticated cafe serving panini, salads & baked goods in the historic Morrison House.

👍 The Wagyu beef sliders with fries was good. Even though the dessert looked good, I couldn't get a spoon through the mango upside down cake. Every good meal needs to have a choice of an equally good dessert. That's what will keep me from coming back.

👍👍 This is our go-to restaurant when we have out of town guests. The service and atmosphere are fantastic always and the food always blows us away!

👍👍 I have traveled all over the world and very extensively in the United States, and Baxter's easily makes it into the top 5 bars I've ever visited! The attention to detail is outstanding and has the vibe of a prohibition speakeasy, appearing like a fancy clock shop from the street. They even have a hi...
