SmallBatch for Thanksgiving has become our tradition. Excellent meal, great value, always outstanding service. Of course, we love going there even when it is not Thanksgiving!

I have been going here since they opened. I had a less than ideal experience today. Took 30 minutes for appetizers which was okay. However, it took an additional 45 minutes for our entrees to arrive. It was brunch. Eggs ect. When it finally did arrive my French toast was ice cold. The butter did’t even melt! The server apparently new because when I told her she immediately said” I am going to take this off your bill and I know you don’t want anything else because this took so long ! “ and then she proceeded to walk away. So I sat there with no food. When you pay over $150 for breakfast you want it hot. Also, I have been there when it was more crowded and received much better service. It seems like the quality of food and the service is going down.

Terrible food was barely edible the cod was awful I took one bite and barely could swallow it . The drinks were also awful. The apps we had were grilled apples and chips and onion dip feel way short lacking flavor and quality . Never will return there are much better places to eat I feel ripped off our bill was over 200 dollars for food and drink that was horrible stay away !!!

The food was great and tasty. I had the shrimp with polenta which was delicious 😋. Portion size sufficient for two.

The salads were amazing. I highly recommend the crispy artichokes. The bouillabaisse had sand/grit from the mussels and the snapper still had tiny bones in it. The steak in the steak frites was kind of tough, but was still flavorful. I would come again and get all the greens but would prob get a sandwhich or a burger as an entree instead next time.

Food was very good. Drink was delicious. The one thing was we asked the waiter what APFEL was and he said he gets this question all of the time, but he still didn't know what it was. If people keep asking you, maybe find out? Not a big deal, we just googled. Overall great time!

Service was awful. Waited 20 minutes to get water. Waiter acted as if he couldn't be bothered. Other staff members were more attentive than he was. Prices are outrageous and the food just isn't worth it.

Service was horrible. Took 20 minutes to get water refill and only after we asked another worker for it.
My wife had an appetizer and the bread was soggy.
Our server Willy was overly attentive to another table and was ignoring our table of 6. The entrees were good but one person had asked for a burger cooked medium and it was well done. Sent it back with manager and a new burger was prepared but was still over cooked. She ate it because she was hungry.
After two of us complained, the manager took the burger off the bill and gave us free desert.
It was not a very good experience tonight.
And a little over priced as our bill was still almost $500.
Very disappointing.

Took us 45 minutes to get our appetizer - and they brought the wrong one… 90 minutes to get our mains - our waiter could not have cared less about us and didn’t even come back to see if we wanted more drinks once our food finally came. The food was fine - nothing spectacular. Took another hour to flag him down and get the check…Lunch shouldn’t take three hours. Not worth it - go elsewhere

I’ve had a couple of dishes from Small Batch. What I will tell you is I would come here any time just for the Half Dozen Char-grilled east coast oysters, which are some of the best I’ve had over these past 5 years of being an Oyster eater and connoisseur (😂).
Small Batch is a very nice place to go and catch a small meal and connect with friends, family, or a date. I’ve also order the steak frites which were also excellent, but didn’t take a pic.
BTW - They make a helluva good Old Fashioned. 😉

What a wonderful establishment. Ambiance is beautiful, servers are kind and prompt. The manager is an absolute gem. My colleague and I frequent this place as its very close to our job. We had misordered an entree that I believed to be vegetarian but was not (the spicy grilled cheese). The wonderful manager quickly and swiftly swapped it with a to-go order (as we were in a rush back to work) that was vegetarian and I could not be more pleased with how intuitive and quick-to-action he was. This is an absolute must in my lunch spot rotation.

Excellent food. Service was relaxed. Met up with old friends and were able to sit and catch up. Very pleasant.

Went for Saturday Brunch and had a large selection of starters entrees, and cocktails. Everything we ordered was delicious, including dessert!
