   Waitress Beni works hard with a pleasant demeanor. The food well-made, high quality, relative to similar restaurants. I can’t tell the difference between coffees normally, but this was the best cappuccino I ever had. They get a lot of the small details right.

   I enjoyed the special event with Tom Colicchio! The evening was memorable and wonderful. Thank you! If there was a way to add on photos for guests to take with Tom, that would have been even better!

   As expected this private event did not disappoint. We’ve been to Small Batch several times and have always enjoyed our experience. This was no exception and very fairly priced! We sat at the front of the restaurant and had the most spectacular view of not only the kitchen, but a chef Tom Colicchio. It was like watching a maestro conduct the most mellifluous Orchestra… who produced the most delectable culinary adventure. The first course was my favorite; a barely grilled tuna with roasted ramps and red chimichurri. It was just bursting with flavor in the cook on the tuna was perfection. Second course was a squid ink pasta “calamari Bolognese“. I absolutely love this course. My husband who prefers a feather-lite pasta, thought the pasta was a little bit dense… For me it had a chew that I didn’t mind at all. For the third course, you had a choice between a Wagyu brisket or a chicken ballotine. Husband had the brisket and I had the chicken. The chicken was moist and tender, and even had a little crisp to the outside skin. The jus was remarkable. Husband said the brisket was so delectable and tender. It just fell apart. He loved it! Especially the hazelnut romesco that came with it. Husband loved the dessert; an orange lace cookie served with ricotta and strawberries. Honestly, it was my least favorite part of the meal. I’m not really a sweet person historically… My go to is ice cream, gelato, a great piece of chocolate. The lace cookie was kind of hard for me to chew. I didn’t mind the strawberries, but the ricotta seemed a little bit overly sweet to me. I must mention that the welcome cocktail was a generous pour, and yummy! What made this an exceptional experience is that as per usual the staff at any of Colicchio’s restaurants are always on point. You are always welcomed warmly and made to feel as if you are being invited into someone’s home. I find it to be consistent throughout all Colicchio’s establishments. Bravo to Chef Tom, server Eric, and staff!

   The cod was sooooo good! So was the squid ink linguine with calamari Bolognese. I highly recommend both!

    My family and I have celebrated several birthdays here (and somehow always end up with the same table) and we keep coming back because of the great ambience, combined with good food and good service. We’ll definitely be back.
