Had the "let us pick for you" menu, which included some things not on the written menu. Everything was delicious, and I would definitely do that again. Service was impeccable. Staff were attentive and so helpful. I can't say enough good things.

This was an all around fantastic evening. We did the chef's choice tasting menu which did not disappoint. The level of detail spent on each item was apparent. All the accolades given to Chef Tyler Fenton and his crew are well deserved!

Maureen

Excellent food, interesting flavors, perfectly cooked. They provided a special menu for one member of the party with food sensitivities. We loved it.

Anne

The food was outstanding, wonderfully flavored and skillfully prepared. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and explained each course as it was presented. Great experience! We'll definitely put Bata in our regular rotation.

Melinda

My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Bata, as we have several special occasions over the last year. Everything was delightful.

Corinne

We love this place! We have done both the tasting menu and ordered directly from the menu. It never disappoints! The family style tasting menu is a lot of food but smaller portions as it is a taste of lots of different items both on and off the menu. The food is fresh, creative - often leaving us going hmm we would have never thought of that combo. Thank you!

BATA is a gem in Tucson. The chef is an artist and a master. We chose the chef's choice menu. Amazing. The service was wonderful, in that we were left to talk when we wanted, but if something was needed, Kaitlin was right there to serve.

The service was quick and excellent, with thorough explanations of dishes and attentiveness to needs. A free dessert was provided for the birthday celebrant. All but one of our courses was excellent, particularly the porchetta; the mushroom skewers, however, were rubbery. Be prepared for a sizeable bill.

Sat at the counter, chose "Pick for us" from the menu, and got one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. The staff was all excellent, the food was incredibly creative and the ingredients were incredibly high quality and almost all locally sourced. I have paid twice as much for meals of half the quality. You cannot go wrong.

It was a perfect date night spot. The food is well thought out, well-sourced, delicious. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Brad

Great meal, our group really enjoyed sampling/sharing/discussing the small plates. Staff was excellent. Love watching the activity via the open kitchen concept. This was are 2nd visit. We'll be back again!

Teresa

As always, the food was so interesting and flavorful. It's fun to eat foods I wouldn't know how to cook at home. We always enjoy our meal.

Craig

One of our restaurants. Have been there several times and it never disappoints. Great food, cocktails and service. Cant wait to go back.

Incredible food. Very different. I had to look up some of the foods to understand what I was eating. We ordered 7 plates and we were stuffed when done. They don't have an online menu but don't be afraid of that. You'll definitely enjoy your meal, especially if you're open to a new experience.

Food and service were excellent as always! The restaurant was busy and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The chef does the most creative and flavorful thing with all kinds of unusual mushrooms, and the bread and meat dishes were amazing. The umami Mexican chorizo dish was very tasty, most unusual and felt like exploring wild foods of the desert. I have one piece of advice: IF you happen to hate cilantro as much as I do, be sure to ASK if there is any cilantro in a dish, as the menu may not mention it. I happen to love butternut squash but couldn't force myself to each much because of the cilantro.
