Bâtard - New York

I recently had an amazing and unforgettable evening at Bâtard, which was one of the best dining experiences I've had in years. John Winterman's hospitality and Markus Glocker's incredible menu create a truly exceptional dining experience. The option to customize your own tasting menu is both enjoyable and reasonably priced. I highly recommend trying the wine pairing and cheese as well. I challenge anyone to find a better restaurant in NYC that offers such high quality at a reasonable price.

We had a fantastic evening at this restaurant. The food was innovative, bold, and exceptional. The staff paid close attention to every detail and the chef was a wonderful host. We also enjoyed a kitchen tour, which was a nice touch. The restaurant has a chic atmosphere with a vibrant, youthful crowd. We absolutely loved it!

This restaurant in New York City offers top-notch dining in an elegant setting. The lobster was exquisite, the beef tartare was delightful, and the overall presentation was both beautiful and artistic.

Modern French fare with a flair! Lovely stop, perfect for dates or intimate groups. Beautiful ambiance and excellent service. The menu offers tasting options of 2 3 4 courses that you can mix and match as you please. I did a 3 course meal, while my wife opted for the 3 course restaurant week prix fixe. Food was all delicious, but portions were a bit small for the price. Overall 4.5 stars out of 5.

Every single dish tastes like it was made with love. The ingredients balance each other out, resulting in a truly pleasing experience to the palate. Some ingredients at times might make you wonder what they are exactly, since they may taste very familiar or completely exotic. The dishes are carefully and thoughtfully plated and the cooking technique is impeccable. I, for instance, had the duck leg confit as an entree which was tender and juicy on the inside but the skin was crispy and bright. The cubed potato it was on blew me away the simplicity of roasted potato was elevated in such a way I can humbly say it was my favorite. The desserts were not too sweet and portions are small (like a taster) which is perfect to wrap up a delicious three course meal. Each of the members of staff from the host to the server and runner were prompt and efficient. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to make great recommendations. Even his tone of voice was soothing and it was pleasant to have him around. One thing I particularly thank is at the end of our meal he politely *asked* if he could bring the check; he did not drop it like in many other restaurants. In terms of hygiene, the surfaces, utensils and outfits were clean. The restroom is average and somewhat underwhelming in comparison to such a great experience. The dining room is ample, yet not huge. This is somewhere you definitely go for the food and food alone. Perfect for dates and small gatherings. Great restaurant to book a reservation during restaurant week since you get the same quality for a reduced fee. Recommended!
