To all our loyal and wonderful community, We are taking a little break to keep us all safe and well. We look forward to seeing you on the other side. We wish everyone good health during this time. Love from Melbourne Hospitality People. Captain Baxter is inspired by the coastal location and heritage of the St Kilda Sea Baths building. A palette of white, timber and rattan, including playful wallpaper and perforated textures are inspired by beach bungalows of the 1920s. A fully retractable roof that lets the sunshine pour in and brings guests even closer to St Kilda’s foreshore. Captain Baxter is Melbourne’s go-to for lunches under the sun, drinks at sun-down and relaxed beachside dinners. Sit back, put your sunnies on and feel the sea breeze. Matt Dawson, group executive chef of St Kilda Venues has been joined by Timothy Martin (ex The European and Taxi Dining Room) and Adrian Hawkins (ex Est and Bistrode, Sydney). Put simply, their menu represents food that people want to eat by the beach; relaxed and casual dishes, with fresh and delicate flavours. The seafood focused menu is overlayed with subtle Asian influences to create seasonally focused dishes that embrace Captain Baxter’s enviable location.

A delightful experience overall! The cocktails here are definitely a highlight – wonderfully crafted and absolutely delicious. Each drink was a real treat. The food also impressed with its freshness and quality. You can tell they use great ingredients, and everything tasted vibrant. The only slight drawback was the price point, which felt a little higher than average. However, considering the quality of the cocktails and the freshness of the food, it's still a worthwhile spot for a special occasion or when you're looking to indulge a bit. The atmosphere and views are also a definite plus. I'd happily return for those fantastic drinks and fresh bites!

The fried chicken was so good! Accompanying it is a hot mango and mayonnaise which complimented it beautifully. Location was very cute. And it's a big establishment.

We have a wedding reception on Monday. There was fantastic customer service, and floor staff there is very friendly and very attentive. Elise had very good communication with all stages of planning, ensuring we are happy with. The gentleman managing the function on the night was also fantastic. They catered for every request we asked with no hesitation and welcome nature. Can see beautiful sunset just from the seat. I went down stairs for beach photo is very cool. If planning an event you are in great hands.

I celebrated my 30th birthday at Captain Baxter and it was amazing! The staff was super friendly and made sure everything went smoothly, which made the night even more special. The food was absolutely delicious—everyone at the party loved their meals! The drinks were great too, and the whole place had such a nice atmosphere, perfect for a celebration. Huge thanks to the team for making my birthday so memorable! I’ll definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great spot to celebrate.
