Bâtard

Disappointing experience. The food was average there was nothing special or a any amazing dish that stood out. The service was curt and dry. All employees at the restaurant looked serious or unhappy, not a single smile. The waiter mixed up one of our drink order and when we spoke to him about it he was unapologetic and a bit rude asking if we would stick with the incorrect order or if we want to switch to the correct. During our main course the two entry doors were open, letting in a terrible cold draft directly at us and when asked the waiter if the inner door could be closed until the all arriving guest from that group were actually ready to enter, he replied with attitude ' guest are coming in'. But from our table we could clearly see the guests were still on the street but both doors were wide open. On our reservation we stated we were celebrating a birthday, but no one acknowledged it or even asked. This was a bad experience overall and we selected this restaurant as my brother and his fiance who were visiting from Trinidad wanted to have the Michelin star experience for his birthday. The friendliest and most polite person was the the guy at coat check, the rest of staff could take some pointers s from him! I would not recommend here. Go somewhere else there are many better restaurants in NYC.

Just when I was about to give up on the quality of food in NY during my week long visit, i got to celebrate my birthday at Bâtard. Everything was on point, the bread was warm, the tartare was perfectly seasoned, they also got the doneness of the meats right. The cocktail packed a big punch, and it was such a memorable meal. I fell in love at this dinner. Pity you guys are closing!

Excellent wine list, great service and super tasty dishes. The standout were the spinach cavatelli and the olive oil cake.

Nice atmosphere and service, but for the price, the food was just good. It was our first experience with a Michelin star restaurant so we had high hopes, but this experience made us realize maybe we’re okay with a step down from fine dining.

Excellent restaurant, would definitely come back. With my wife went on a Friday night for dinner and we had 3 and 4 courses. Overall food was excellent (better that I expected!), service OK but wouldn´t say this is "fine dining" as vibe was relax and service a bit informal (particularly considering it was a Michelin restaurant). The good 1) The cappelletti where one of the best dishes I've had in any restaurant. Unfortunately, it seems they just took it out of the menu. 2) The duck brest was excellent. I normally not a fan of this dish but the preparation and the combination of flavours was brilliant. 3) The machego cheesecake was on the strong side but exactly what I like. A great variant of this dish. Could have improved: 1) Terrine: Was okeyish. I´ve made better at home. 2) Service: To informal for what I was expecting. Despite the opportunity areas, would definetely come back and is a great value for money experience.

Absolutely delicious. You must definitely try the beef tartare and the duck ragou!

nice good thanks

A somewhat dated room but the service was impeccable. Food was very good. I do wish my steak knife had at least some kind of sharpener in the last decade. The NY strip was great but the knife was so dull, I ended up just using my teeth to tear the steak. Super good, okay room, and bad steak knives. We absolutely would go back and I would really hope we got the same service staff. Amazing people!

Another reason to love NY In the middle if the bast places this stands out Food great, best steak tar tar i might have ever had and if its on the menu i eat it so its saying a lit Wine menu is so big but it will cost you But 105 bucks for 4 coures in ctazy, cause its all great Some knows all
