Come here every year for a coworker reunion and always enjoy the service. It is located in the lobby of the Westin Hotel. Ample seating in a laid back classy atmosphere. Seats are comfortable with a very classic breakfast menu. I got the Classic American breakfast with the savory maple bacon! My side was a fruit cup that tasted as if they had just picked the fruits from their respective trees. The whole wheat toast was a thick cut fulfilling portion. My wife got the Eggs Benedict that was decorated with fresh arugula with a hint of olive oil. Every item on their menu is a hit and the good thing is you can go up to your room and take a nap after this delicious meal.

Great atmosphere. Beautiful setting. Parking - great! Service good. Food was not great. Too salty, too oily (I had Chicken Piccata). I couldn't even eat the chicken. Over priced for the quality of food.

It’s so rare to eat something that makes me so impressed. To try something you’ve wanted to cook yourself but never truly succeeded in doing.
I had the Chicken Piccata with linguine and tomatoes today, and it was so well crafted, and so well plated. Every part was well thought out and considered. The chicken thigh was perfectly sautéed/lightly fried and it was a complete marvel. The linguine was buttery and lemony and the tomatoes perfectly accented the dish. They were heirloom tomatoes which was amazing, and they were perfectly lightly burst so the skins didn’t become annoying (that might just be a me thing though). Took a taste of hubbys burger, equally delish.

My only regret was not staying for dessert. :-)

WoW! What a hidden gem! Off the beaten Richmond-restaurant path (like the Fan and into the slip) Small Batch is at the Westin hotel, just off Broad in the near west end. It's decor is chic and comfortable. The service, top-notch. But mainly the menu is a wide variety of specialty dishes along with more casual fare, all of which we enjoyed. There were 4 of us and one couple ordered the short ribs, which they declared "the best we've ever had!" And they are seasoned travelers -- from the US West Coast to here on the East Coast -- along with river cruise dining experiences in Europe. So high praise, indeed. The vegetarian in the group also enjoyed the mushroom ravioli... flavorful and a very generous portion. Like cheese? They have some excellent varieties on their cheese platter! Plus! Parking's a breeze, right out front. A truly nice surprise in dining here in town and a great dinner. Kudos to the chef and staff! AA+++

Who would have thought that you could find a locally sourced restaurant with great food inside of a hotel? Had a great meal with family visiting from out of town. Hospitality was fantastic and the team took great care of us the whole evening!

My mother and I visited for the Mother's Day brunch. When we arrived, they had flowers for each woman, even though they were sad, dying roses. Then we were escorted to our table. The tables were nicely prepared with a white tablecloth and court reservation information. The food was not good for the value and prestige of a Westin Hotel location. The breakfast food was powdered eggs ( very runny and cold), frozen pancakes, lukewarm thin slices of bacon, and sausage. You can get all these types of foods at a free hotel breakfast. The other food, the entrees, were bland and just okay. The desserts were lacking in variety and were not tasty at all. The orange juice was absolutely disgusting, and the tea was NOT sweet. The only thing I enjoyed was the salad bar, where I ended up eating two salads because, for the price I paid, I could have taken my mother to the Waffle House or Denny's. Also, the waiter was a bit pushy by giving us our bill early and looking at our table to see if we had paid. Our plates were not taken off our table after we ate, as waiters walked past us and took too long to collect our dishes after we were done. Overall, the food and experience were poor. Will not return for a special occasion.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. There was a good quantity of food to choose from. Foods that were on the hot bar were lukewarm and I would have liked it to be hotter.

Mother's Day Brunch at the Westin/Small Batch Kitchen was wonderful. The Small Batch restaurant is just off the lobby of the Westin, but when checking in for our reservation we found out they had set up the Mother's Day Brunch Buffet in one of their ballrooms. There was a second podium near the ballroom and they had roses for all the ladies. The room was well set and decorated, with pink napkins and a name card at each table for our reservation. This was a full buffet and well worth the $$ for the occasion. A full breakfast buffet, along with pastries and an omelet station. Then a carving station with Smithfield ham and roast turkey. An additional buffet was set up with hot main course items like vegetables, chicken, salmon, rice, and more. One final station had several really nice dessert items as well. We appreciated the set up of all the buffet areas as they were in different areas of the room allowing for all parties to access what they wanted. There was no crowding or lines for the buffet. Overall, a wonderful atmosphere for the occasion!

Most likely the worst dining experience I've ever had in Richmond in 20 years. Do not go here. The food is terrible and comes out cold and the service is incredibly slow because the hotel refuses to hire more than two servers. Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere on Broad Street except here 

Came here to eat some breakfast and work after dropping my car off for some repairs. Service was wonderful! The vibe was great too; it’s a beautiful dining area.

I got the avocado toast and it was sooo tasty. Perfectly seasoned and the avocado tasted fresh. The poached egg was one of the best I’ve ever had with a perfectly cooked white and a very runny yolk.

Thanks for having me!

Our waitress was great and very accommodating! It’s located in a hotel, to your left as you walk in the front door. The food left some to be desired. The back fin pasta was sour with a thick layer of Parmesan that I had to send back. The 8oz hanger had no flavor. The fried pickles lacked salt and the wings were just okay. The smashed burger isn’t as smashed as you might hope for. The drinks, wings, onion rings and mozzarella sticks were tasty.

Located in the Westin hotel is a farm to table restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great service and delicious dishes. The mixologists at the bar can make just about anything. and even made blue cheese stuff olives for a nice dirty martini.
