Small Batch is one of the few places I will go to on Long Island because food is good. I will go back
Food was excellent. Service and ambience was great. I would 100% recommend this restaurant.
Screaming baby right behind us, not the restaurants fault at all. But the very slow service was disappointing. The server was aware of the kitchens lack of speed and apologized. Most of the food was on point and delicious Every Oyster of the half dozen had small pieces of shell in them. I've been to small batch a handful of times and had an amazing experience. This visit was overall not a good experience, especially when the restaurant was only 60/70 full. Not a packed house by any means.
i seem to give the same review every time I come here, along the lines of ... "WOW, this place is great!" Which is also why I come back at lot! We sat at the bar this time for drinks and apps - bartender Keith was personable, professional and very proficient.
We took my mother in law for a birthday dinner. The staff was attentive and provided great service. The food as usual was amazing.
Service was great and host was extremely nice. Food was mediocre as dishes were very salty.
On the one hand, I don't think you'll find any values at small batch. On the other hand, the food is consistently creative, and clearly above average compared to most Long Island restaurants. The roasted salmon I had last night was a prime example. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.
My wife and I do our best to dine at Small Batch 4 times a year to experience their imaginative menu. It always is extraordinary!
Love small batch but food was off last night. Both Me and my friend were unimpressed with food. Service was excellent
My family and I have been coming here for quite some time on and off each time is like the first time wonderful and the best compliment is to the chefs. They are the best, thank you.

Pretty nice restaurant.
Great staff and the open kitchen concept is awesome.
The standout food by and far was the Spanish octopus.. please try it, cooked to perfection, pristine point of tenderness, and the sauce with the beans, peppers and bits were excellent.
I was recommended the smash burger but it was okay, I did finish it all, it’s not terrible but.. nothing close to 7th street burger yet, the bread needs some work or they need a new bread supplier for the buns .. I don’t know. Or maybe it was the sauce. Point is the smash burger needs some work.
I felt things were high priced for a typical restaurant like this elsewhere.
Enjoy!

The waitress was nice to serve food for us. If she can tell more about the food details, I will give 5 stars. The sandwich, vegetables are too oily

I was really looking forward to dining at small batch, especially after hearing great things. From the start, everything seemed promising—the Pinot Grigio was excellent, and the tuna tartare was fresh and delicious. My husband wanted steak, and I was in the mood for chicken.
Before ordering, our waitress (whom I won’t name for privacy reasons) asked if we had any allergies. We both clearly stated pork and carefully checked the descriptions of each meal to ensure there was no pork in our selections. I decided on a chicken(braised chicken thighs) dish with olives and roasted tomatoes.
When our meals arrived, I started eating my chicken. After a few bites, I noticed small pieces of meat—ham, bacon, prosciutto, whatever it was, it was pork. When the waitress checked on us, I immediately pointed it out. Instead of addressing the issue, he simply ignored my concern and went about his day. No apology, no solution—nothing.
I do not tolerate this kind of negligence in any restaurant. Was I allergic? Yes! Which I clearly stated at the beginning. Should I have called a manager and made a scene? Maybe, but I expected the waitress to handle it properly. To make matters worse, I had already mentioned that we only eat two meals a day—this was my last one, and I take it very seriously. Yet, the waitress didn’t seem to care at all.
This experience was beyond disappointing. A restaurant that doesn’t respect dietary restrictions or food allergies is not one I can recommend. Mistakes happen, but ignoring a serious concern is unacceptable. Won’t be recommending this place at all. It was our first time and for sure, our last. Hope this help management educate staff and make sure this doesn’t happen to future guests
