Best Date Night Restaurants in Batavia

There were 6 of us dining on a busy Christmas Day for dinner. The place was very busy but our server James did an excellent job taking care of us. Out cocktails came out quickly and the food was delicious. We all had a great time and I look forward to dining at Mia Moto again soon.

A friend recommended Hardware since we were going to be in the area. It’s a bit of a drive from us, but I’d definitely go back. We were seated in the heated patio area. The heater was a little loud and without, it was drafty but the fireplace was warm and beautiful. The drink menu is whiskey & bourbon dence but we had a nice red and a couple of really good local beers to start. We ordered 4 dishes and shared . My favorite was the brisket which came with the best potatoes I’ve had in a long time and served with just the right amount of a delicious sauce. Korean pork fried rice was another great pick. The salmon on the salmon salad was the right smokiness. The least favorite was the pork tenderloin which was perfectly prepared but needed a better sauce. The atmosphere and service were great. Their mission is commendable and something worth supporting.

Wonderful place! I went for the live music by Ross Failla last night and it was amazing! What a fabulous atmosphere! Excellent music, people dancing, everyone so happy. The food was delicious! I had the salmon and ate every bite of it. The owner Vito and manager Flavio are so friendly. Will definitely be back!

I went to BASH on 12/22/2014 with my daughter, her husband and 7 year old son. I was a bit surprised as I was lead through the first floor up about 15 or more steps to the second floor. My daughter is recovering from a stroke and I told the hostess she could not handle stairs. She informed me they have a service elevator she could use so I called my daughter immediately to let her know. If anyone has physical limitations, request first floor seating. I was surprised they put us on the second floor as they knew ahead of time that this was a birthday celebration; a bit disappointing as it lacks ambiance and is quite noisy compared to the first floor. This is my only criticism of our first-time experience. The server was very sweet and the service was more prompt than I anticipated since this was on the weekend before Christmas. All four of us loved the food and it was plentiful! The crab rangoon and pork gyoza appetizers were gobbled up. My grandson had the Mac Bento and declared the mac & cheese his all time favorite when he had left-overs the next day. My daughter had sushi which she declared delicious. My son-in-law and I had different burgers with sea salt fries and we both took home half of our meal as the burgers are huge, piled up with meat and also delicious. Because it was a birthday celebration, they offered my daughter her choice of dessert at 1/2 price; a nice surprise as opposed to many restaurants complimentary little token desserts. She got the ice/cream brownie which was out of this world and huge--and I mean really huge! The four of us couldn't finish it. Other than the second floor issue/disappointment, we are all excited to go back here again as everything else was top notch.

Manager and staff were great. Server and service was excellent. Food was very good. Had Salmon was really good. Filet and gnocchi. The apps charcuterie board and shrimp cocktail were great. Worth it especially if you are headed to a show or seeing the live music at the club.
