Batifol has had excellent food each and every time we have been - more than a half dozen now. Six of us celebrated some birthdays and anniversaries and were able to enjoy each others' company without shouting from one end of the table to the other.

We had a very nice Saturday brunch. Portions of Eggs Benedict and omelet were very generous and delicious. Oysters were delicious. I think our server had some trouble understanding us. And the coffee was not hot and absolutely horrible. This was a big surprise for such a nice place.

I came here for my mom‘s birthday dinner. We ordered the escargot, ribeye, mussels, and the duck leg. The service was rather slow, and it seemed like they were understaffed. It took a really long time for the menus and for the server to take our order. Though, when our server came, he was really lovely and provided excellent service. One thing that I didn’t love was that when our food did come, it was already cooled off.. which leads me to believe that it had been sitting there for a while and the food runner never gave it to us. The desserts were delicious though! We had the cream puffs and crème brûlée. Overall I wish the service was more efficient- it would have made the food and experience better.

Highly recommend the brunch! Delicious array of offerings and desserts were in small portions, so I could taste several. Highly recommend the French toast and the croque monsieur!
