Small Batch

Many restaurants could learn a thing or two from Small Batch. Wonderful experience. Not only was the food fresh, inventive and meticulously prepared, but the staff was just lovely. Everyone was warm, not snobby, and went above and beyond to make my sister's birthday brunch enjoyable for my family. The food focuses on spotlighting the local ingredients and isn't overly fancy. My favorites were the hot fried chicken sandwich, the deconstructed eggplant parm appetizer, and the spaghetti with tomato sauce off of the kids menu (could have used a touch of salt but I think they underseasoned on purpose because it's for kids). The only dish that was pretty underwhelming was the shrimp and grits, which was kind of bland. The decor is also so tasteful and I felt transported to a fancy farmhouse somewhere on the coast of Rhode Island or something. I'll definitely be back!

Had an amazing time at Small Batch tonight. This is the same owner as Craft in NYC, which we have been to a number of times and love. With that being said, we looked forward to this experience tonight, and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant has an atmosphere that is sleek but not too stuffy. Both the food and service were outstanding. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

The food here is just delicious. Fresh ingredients, amazing recipes. Just overall a memorable experience and I keep going back for. Great service as well.

Perfect place to get together on the weekends with friends for brunch. I liked shrimp and grits with roasted peppers, onions and fried egg. Rigatoni pasta with leek & Swiss chard is a great vegetarian dish and packed with flavors. They use good ingredients and all the dishes were cooked with care. I loved watching their open kitchen. Staff were friendly and professional, decor was warm and inviting. Many different selection of drinks. My friends had rounds of champagne and rose and I had lots of freshly brewed coffee. Easy parking and great location to meet up friends.

It was our first time visiting this restaurant. We ordered spaghetti with shrimp, clams, etc. The plate looked great but flavor was too salty for me. However, my friend had the smash burger and it was wonderful, so were the fries that came with it!! We explained to the waiter that we couldn’t finish the spaghetti because it was too salty. Unexpectedly, he took it off our bill saying, they wanted their customers to be 100% satisfied. So incredibly generous and will definitely be back to try other items on this amazing menu!

Stracciatella App was amazing, octopus app was probably the best I ever had. Very fresh! My gf’s truffle pasta was also very good. I ordered the burger medium/rare. After it came out and I wanted mayo. Had to wait for like 10 mins for my waiter to come over to ask for it. Then waited like another 10-15 for him to come back..without it. I finally had to tell him, hey I won’t eat until I get the Mayo, can I please have it, my food it getting cold. Finally brought it over and as it turned out the burger was very over cooked, came out, well done. By this time I filled up on the fries and asked him to remove it from the order. No one came over to check what had happened which I thought was a bit of a fail on the manger’s part. But ok whatever. Then I gave cash for part of the check, and he just decided to keep the coins from the change. ( I had already clearly left tip on my Credit card). I asked him for the coins, and he was like we don’t keep any. I responded he could give me a dollar back, and he can short the restaurant not me. He went to the manager who produced the change. Normally i honestly wouldn’t care about the few coins, but it was just the way he showed us that our table was not worth his effort to do his best. He had plenty of time for the surrounding tables and to chat with coworkers. The busers were great, they really covered for him, but even were confused when they had to get him to come over to us to get our main dish order because he was “too busy.” We had dinner at 5p on a Sunday the place was not packed, but got fuller as our dinner concluded. Love the food in general, and the vibe. We will be back. We will also request another server next time.

Second time coming. This time was for mothers day brunch. Despite the busy holiday, and being a few minutes late for our reservation, the restaurant was accommodating for a large group of us. Service was very quick. Our food was spot on and delicious. The menu varies slightly for each time of the day, at least I noticed some differences from this brunch menu and the menu I had a few weeks ago for lunch. The food is prepared to how you like it, which is super important for steaks and burgers. Food is flavorful - nothing I've tasted so far needed additional seasoning / salt / pepper. Such a great eating experience!

Pretty good place! We were just leaving the mall and decided to stop here for dinner. The eggplant with burrata to start was super good, loved the taste!! The chicken and the fish were also very tasty. Services was good, we thought they probably forgot about us since they were getting ready to closing time. Overall is a good place, the sandwiches looked great on other tables!

We've eaten at Small Batch three times in the span of roughly 5 weeks. Why? Because they had a duck breast dish on their dinner menu that my daughter with tons of allergies could eat safely and absolutely loved. Yesterday was our third time and we were devastated to find the menu had been changed and duck was no longer on the menu. My kid's allergic to all red meat, wheat, peanut, all tree nuts, egg, sesame, dairy, and all seafood so imagine how special it is to find a place that takes her food allergies seriously and prepares her favorite food. My daughter was so upset about the menu change that I decided just to ask our server, Nancy, if there was any duck left by any chance. Nancy graciously agreed to talk to the chef. It was explained to us that normally this wouldn't be possible but because they had just changed their menu, they were able to make her a duck dish with French fries. Absolutely amazing service. Love the overall vibe of the interior and the open kitchen design. Service has been both good and bad, in that it was slow and our server barely checked up on us. Nancy by far has been our favorite - not just what she did for my daughter but also because she was warm and attentive. I do like that all our servers have taken my daughter's allergy card and actually appear to give it to the kitchen. Price wise, dinner easily costs us over $300 with food and drinks for 2 adults, 2 children. The kids menu is an amazing deal for the quantity and quality. Serving size is equal to a regular dish. My son likes to order both the mac and cheese and chicken fingers because it's so good. Now to patiently wait and hope they add duck back to the menu..

One of the restaurants at Roosevelt Field Mall. I went here for dinner on a weekday with a party of 5 and they had plenty of seats available. Farm to table concept! Great food, great service. They were very patient and attentive. Ambiance - clean, lots of seating, nice decor. Recommend: Wagyu burger Mussels

Not too crowded on a Saturday night. Why not? Drinks at the bar. Great watching the bartenders. Nice guys. Bloody Mary so strong needed more juice. G & T good. Mezcal old fashioned good. Dirty vodka martini was good but olives have NO taste. Very strange. Apps shared: arugula salad had NO taste. And TWO hairs. Fried goat cheese was very good. Dinners: Smash burger was really good. Hot chicken sandwich good also. Fries NOT crispy. Actually soggy. Braised chicken thighs very good. Watch for bones. Pan seared cod was delicious. Cabernet was ok. Pricey. Dessert was cookie with ice cream. Sweet warm and delicious. Decaf coffee good too. Service ok. However nothing was outstanding and have no need to return. Check hasn't come yet. Waiting for the other shoe to drop $$$$

Not so great anymore the last 3 times we went. Under-cooked, over-salted pasta, dry chicken, and got diarrhea from eating the duck. Waiters all lacked enthusiasm. Probably won't go back again.

Sitting by the mall at Garden City, Long Island is another well known American restaurant called Small Batch. Their colors are a darker shade of Tiffany's blue, and if Tiffany's ever did a restaurant, I'd imagine it looked like this! The food conceptually is good and the taste is there, an easy 4 star but there were some missteps in our experience. Taste: 3.5/5 Ambience: 3.5/5 Service: 2.5/5 Value for money: 3/5 We had: 1) Seafood Special: not bad and had everything! 2) TC's wagyu burger: A bit salty but not bad! 3) Dry Aged Black Angus Bone In: compound butter was good! The dry aged can be tasted (I.e the funkiness) Kind of like smattering some goat cheese on it. Unfortunately, we asked for a medium rare and I could have sworn the cow mooed a little. 4) Agave Ginger Reviver: Not bad All in all this could've been a great experience. Unfortunately the cow was rare and it took around 50 minutes to get our food.

The food at Small Batch was very delicious! The courses were much more filling than I had anticipated! I loved the steak and salmon. I was not a big fan of the chicken. If you can go between 4 PM - 5:30 PM on a weekday, they have a cheaper pre-fixe menu, which is very filling and tasty!!

Farm to table concept- everything we ordered off of the brunch menu was fresh with delicate flavors. Restaurant was super clean with an open kitchen model. The fried goat cheese with grilled leeks, olive tapenade, roasted red peppers, and anchovies was unbelievable. If you're an anchovy lover like I am, this is a must try. The Spanish octopus was paired with butter beans & chiles, so good! For dessert, the monkey bread perfect. Gooey, sweet & sticky! Great music, yummy cocktails, and friendly staff - great for brunch!

Excellent food and drink. Reasonably priced from a celebrity chef no less! Nice outdoor dining area as well.

Sister in law just moved into the area and we looked up good restaurants in the area and this place came up. It's attached to the mall and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It was a good size and sat a lot of people. We were a reservation of 8 on a Sunday and it was very busy. I got the blt & e which was really good I enjoyed. I also got a bloody mary and it was great! I tried a bite of the hot fried chicken sandwich which i liked very much too. One order in my group was messed up and it took a little for the correct order to come. By the time he got his dish the rest of us were finished. Overall it was good food and a good experience!

I ate here tonight for the first time The restaurant itself is pretty. Very spacious. I like the open set up, reminds me of nyc or cali dining. I had the ricotta toast for a starter. I did eat my entire piece, as it was edible. However, the flavors really did not mesh well. The dandelion was way too bitter, and the toast itself was a bit burned. Coupled with the extreme bitterness of the weeds served on the bread, the experience was not very enjoyable. I had to remove all of dandelions off of the toast in order to finish my piece. The cod was delicious. The fish was crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. The plate was presented well, and the colors were really vibrant and inviting! I was actually excited to try it at first glance. The wagyu burger, I was told was very good. The fries were cooked well. Just the right amount of salt. The serving size for a side was also generous. Overall, a great experience. Oh also, the font on the menu is incredibly small. Like size 8.0 lol

My husband and I tried this restaurant to try something different in the neighborhood and were pleasantly surprised! It's located by Roosevelt field mall with easy indoor and outdoor dining. We ate outside where there are both umbrellas and heaters depending on your weather needs. The free bread was fresh and basic, white bread with salted butter. The pomegranate non-alcoholic cocktail was good but a little too sweet for me. They have a ginger non alcoholic one I want to try next time. The spaghetti appetizer had a decent amount of seafood (shrimp, calamari, and clams) along with artichokes, white wine sauce, and breadcrumbs. The steak frites is perfectly cooked and comes with fries and great chimichurri sauce. We also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts that were perfectly crispy and seasoned. The waiters were all very friendly and professional. Service was also pretty fast.

Amazing. The Leche Martini is a must when you stop in . The food was amazing, the mussels I was very much surprised by the flavor. The green mussel dish is very hard to flavor bc it's associated with curry most times. Not everyone can properly cook curry and pair the write breading. This was everything and more. My MIL got the pork chop and smashed. The fries are hand cut and fresh, I love that. The fries are also a meal itself so being mindful if you're getting them. Fries can definitely be shared. Service was pretty good our host I'm assuming was the manger as well. The continued check-ins were nice and everyone was friendly! When in NY I will definitely be back to this place To see the aesthetics and food visually follow me on IG @damnthosesteaktacos to view this restaurant in my reels content.

Best and most balanced mojito I've ever had. Service was good. Menu was limited, and a bit pricey, I'd say this is at least $$$. They also had some local beers. I had the wagyu burger. It was good and I enjoyed the toppings. Really liked their thick and sweet ketchup. We shared Monkey bread for dessert. Something was off with the sweetness, had a kind of burnt taste. Restaurant is modern rustic? Over all, if you're in the area, give it a try. Don't valet, it costs 8 bucks with validation.

Slightly disappointed considering that this is a Tom Colicchio restaurant. The space is open, airy, and beautiful, and I love the open kitchen concept. The service is not very memorable. The food is hit or miss. I went for dinner and started with the tuna tartare, which was bland, and the whipped ricotta toast which was underwhelming. They put long dandelion greens on the toast which make it really difficult to eat (why not cut them into bit sized pieces?). The grilled octopus was good and the salmon and ravioli (mushroom and pea) were both solid entrees. I also went for brunch and got the baked eggs (basically shakshouka) which was good but could use more seasoning. This is a good place to go with family or a casual friend date, but don't expect to be blown away by the food. @alex.eats.365

We went here for brunch on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere was very calm and quiet. The modern farmhouse interior was simply nice, and I love the open kitchen concept. The service here was friendly and attentive. We had the mac and cheese (4/5) it was quite standard. The grilled oysters (5/5) were succulent, briny, with a light herby and smoky flavor. The steak frites (4/5) was tender, juicy, well seasoned, and cooked to the proper doneness. You must be on the qui vive in order to cook an 8 ounce portion of skirt steak the way they did. The fries that came with it was decent. The steamed mussels (5/5) were great. The mussels were delicate and the broth that came with it was rich. The chocolate lava cake (5/5) was velvety and decadent. It was very delicious that we almost ordered a second one. Will come again for the oysters and the lava cake!

When you step into Small Batch by Tom Colicchio which is located on Restaurant Row in Garden City, it feels as though you have entered an upscale living space that embodies elegance and sophistication. While I appreciate the refined vibe, my desire for greater variety in both food choices and drink specials during happy hour went unfulfilled; nonetheless, this establishment merits a rating of four out five stars due to these shortcomings..I hope in the future that they can expand their menu and make it more enticing and inviting. The potential is huge.

I walked in here on a summer Monday afternoon to grab a drink and lunch before shopping at the mall. Few people were in the main dinning room and the bar was empty so I decided to sit there. I was welcomed as I was walking to the bar. Before I sat down I was given some ice cold water. I got a dirty martini and the roasted Atlantic salmon (medium). The bartender, Eric, was warm, welcoming and patient while I was trying to decide what I wanted. The salmon was crispy on the outside, warm and soft in the inside. Eric offered some salt and pepper with the meal but it did not need it at all. In my opinion this place can fulfill many facets- if you're looking for a quiet drink in the day before shopping or a celebration. All in all, if you were near this place I'd recommend stopping by! Eric was amazing!

We went to small batch after so many years of seeing it when we went to shop at Roosevelt field mall. It was such a pleasant surprise, from the vibe to the service to the food everything was great. They had beers from the local brewery Lithology which we really enjoyed as well! My husband got the spicy bucatini pasta and I got the smashed burger, both items were great. We can't wait to go back.

Beach Vibes, recommending brunch, happy hour , lunch and dinner here. I went to dinner but I plan to Do the other 3. The Kitchen is a open concept into the dining room. It honestly reminds me of like a farm kitchen that you'll see in a celebrity's house. I really did enjoy the vibes of the location. The Is food gives off a clean concept. You don't feel guilty eating it but each plate we tried was so delicious. We made a plate into A appetizer and we both had our separate meals. Some people complained on here with the food being flavorless but what we ordered We're the veal meatballs which were very delicious with the sauce and bread. I ordered the new Burger I forgot the actual name but It was perfect in the fries tasted delicious. My friend ordered the salmon and the presentation look good and he finished a plate. It's a bit on the pricey side but the things that are not that expensive gives you a lot of food. I would still say come here if you are hungry just make sure you get the proper plate and speak to the waiter waitress about your level of hunger. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and she told us about every place she had tried and it was honest about every place she didn't try.

Had a lovely early Valentine's dinner on Saturday with the hubbie. We were seated right away and ahead of our reservations since we got there early. I had the pom-a-pine-mint and the hubbie got the sour beer on draft. He liked his drink, but I would say the refresher is just okay for a mocktail. For appetizer, we tried the octopus, and it was cooked tenderly. The balance of the peppers, pancetta, beans, and octopus was nice. Hubbie got the hot chicken sandwich, and I got the clam linguine. He liked the sandwich and said it had nice heat. Of course, it could be more, he said (he likes spicy). There weren't much clams, but it was nicely cooked. The linguine would be considered al dente for others, but I'm okay with it. The dish taste overall was a bit bland for me, and I wasn't drinking. I had to ask for some extra salt and pepper. Jaff brought it over right away and did follow up with us towards the end of our meal on what I thought. Mentioned that it needed some help. The salt was much needed to bring out more of the flavor profile the chef is going for. 5 stars for customer service because he was observant on our dining experience. He comp-ed my drink, which was really nice of him. I think next time, I may want to ask them for suggestion. Overall, it was a nice dinner and would give them another try.

Small Batch is a great upscale casual restaurant that's perfect for Brunch! I have gone a handful of times and I'm always happy with the quality of the food, cocktails and service. They have American dishes with local, seasonal ingredients prepared in farmhouse-chic digs at Roosevelt Field. The portions are shareable if you and yours want to try a variety of items. Also, leave room for dessert...the warm chocolate chip cookie skillet and ice cream choice was delish. I loved the baked eggs, but would highly recommend asking for extra bread because it wasn't enough. When is two pieces of bread enough? There's so much flavor leftover for dipping! The grits and shrimp were also a great server recommendation and buttery. For appetizer, we decided to share the fried goat cheese...Personally, I thought something was missing via flavor. Maybe, I was looking for sweet and savory and it needed some fig jam. All in all everything was delicious. Small Batch never disappoints and it's convenient when shopping at the Mall.

I really like this spot. I've always passed it when I'm at the mall but never tried it until today. The staff was really nice and I was glad I made it right on time to still catch the brunch menu, which all looked delicious. I ended up getting the cinnamon rolls (I'm a huge fan of cinnamon rolls) and the eggs Benedict. I've never had lox so I was excited to try that. It was really good! And the rolls didn't disappoint. Inside of the restaurant was very nice too, perfect for Sunday brunches. The staff was very pleasant and friendly as well. I hope to come back very soon so I can try the shrimp and grits and the monkey bread!

My wife and I came here for a quick bite. We didn't realize it was at the mall until we got here. Parking was ridiculous and had to valet, which was $8 validation. We get inside and it has a similar vibe to a lot of places. The decor had some rustic tones. Not really my thing, but people seem to like it. Waiter came over and was very friendly. I was a little surprised they had no specials. I settled on the Salmon, which was good. It had a nice mix with the asparagus and horseradish. For desert, we shared the monkeybread. That was just okay. The prices were kind of high for what you are getting, but it has become common for that level of restaurant. Overall, the food was good, staff was great and prices were a little high. Don't regret going, but probably won't be back.

I'm a big fan. Atmosphere- unpretentious, cute, welcoming farm/country vibe. I appreciate how they are never packed- busy, yes, but never unaccommodating for walk ins. With an open kitchen, cozy lounge area up front near the bar and fun cocktail menu, it's a great place for a drink or a date night. The restaurant walls are adorned with abstract art of livestock all over which crack me up. Don't be fooled by their understated menu- the dishes are more interesting takes on classics and the food is always top notch: fresh, flavorful and vibrant. I love their cocktails, but wish their menu changed a bit more with the seasons, as do typical farm-to-table restaurants, and was a bit less pricy. I always get the tuna tartare, arugula salad w/preserved lemon topped with salmon and never leave hungry. Their braised chicken thighs are my bf's favorite-also delicious, though you might need to ask for bread on the side to sop up all the yummy sauce.

Beautiful spot for a casual lunch or to celebrate a special occasion. They serve farm to table food crafted with seasonal ingredients on mind. The dining room nails the cozy yet classy aesthetic. My party of three visited for brunch on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation. I ordered TC's Wagyu Cheeseburger which came with fingerling potatoes and pickles. The burger was on the smaller side but the beef was juicy and cooked perfectly. I also tried the Pumpkin Crepes, which were heavenly. They didn't have pumpkin puree, but instead had a gooseberry compote. The tartness of the berries was a nice contrast to the richness of the mascarpone and maple syrup. Saving this special spot for special occasions!

This has always been a great meal. Fresh ingredients. Unique changing menu. And I love the open kitchen. The service is always good. Last night, Friday feb 10th our waiter was exceptional. He was knowledgeable. Down to the slight differences in the craft beer and how it would react with the food. They were busy but he was very attentive. I keep going back and last night solidified that would continue to do so.

This is my teenaged daughter's and my special Saturday brunch spot. The food is very rustic and delicious. The ambiance matches their menu of locally sourced ingredients and the staff is great. Never a long wait to be seated or to be served - even in an early Saturday afternoon.

Went here one time. Had one of the best meals I have ever had. The ambiance was nice. Price was appropriate. Food was better than amazing. Had a chicken thigh dish that was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had, no joke!

I have always wanted to go to Small Batch so was happy to see it on the list of Nassau restaurants participating in Restaurant Week! The menu offered a good variety of choices, which included an appetizer, main meal and dessert. I had the white bean soup which is what pulled my review from 5 stars to 4. It was heavy on the oregano and not much other flavor. The salmon dish was absolutely delicious. Was sad when I was done!! And the pear pudding was delicious. (Probably a bit heavy after eating so much already but all the desserts were heavy). The ambiance was interesting with the open view of the kitchen. Service was attentive. We did not feel rushed at all. It was a great experience.

I've come here for brunch and dinner and always enjoy the food. For brunch I've had the French toast and roasted Lancaster turkey sandwich, both of which were very good. Dinner-wise the best have been the bucatini, wagyu burger, and beef short rib. For an appetizer I recommend the shishito peppers and arugula salad. Love that they had mocktails too; try the pom pine-a-mint! Best desserts were the apple crisp and cast iron cookie. Interesting ambiance if you like the open kitchen vibe. Staff has always been very nice.

Today was the second visit for lunch. The restaurant was empty no surprise. The service was awful.The food was mediocre at best. It longer a choice for me.

Really loved Tom Colicchio's Long Island outpost. Food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I am particularly a fan of the chicken, pork chop and octopus. As for drinks their bourbon cocktail is amazing Don't miss the special chocolate chip cookie dessert!

I've been about 4 times and it's my go to spot for brunch and lunch. Anytime a friend is in town I always bring them here and they haven't disappointed me yet. Menu changes so I've tried several dishes and drinks from them. Staff is friendly, nice interior with lots of seating and space. Conveniently located, I'll always recommend a visit here.

Ambience: 4/5 Waiting staff: 4/5 Food: 3/5 We were a party of 5 adults with one kid. Everyone ordered a bunch of staff. We shared the ricotta toast, it was good, had a sweet taste with the peaches. My frds ordered burgers and shrimps grits while I ordered the grain bowl and cheese grits. I can't pinpoint the exact reason for the bitterness taste in the sunflower seeds. Maybe it was stale? The cucumbers were a bit sour, but the quinoa and corn was tasteless. My friends enjoyed their meals and I would definitely return for another dish, just never ordering the grain bowl again.

Came back to celebrate our anniversary and they had our names printed on the menus! Definitely a cute touch. They also gave us free bubbly to start the meal. Service was fantastic as usual and we got a nice seat by the corner for more privacy and I was able to observe the chefs do their thing which was cool! The star of the night was the pork chop. Cooked perfectly and the sauce was to die for. Love the fruit and acidic component. The grilled oysters was also very good. We actually got the cod to share as an appetizer and we devoured the brussel sprouts. Overall a great spot to have dinner! Love their non-stuffy vibe and yummy dishes!

Good American Fusion, a little bit of this, a little bit of that. We started with the Fried Goat Cheese, Roasted Red Peppers, Anchovies and Olive Tapenade Crostini. Delicious starter. We split the Hot Chicken, which came with Rosemary fries. The fries "would've" been good if they had not looked and tasted like they were on their last leg. Their saving grace is the double concentrate housemade-tasting ketchup. It is absolutely divine. The Hot Chicken was a juicy thigh, double crusted, very crunchy and lightly dipped in the signature Hot oil. The pickles give it the right "pop." All on a toasted Brioche bun. The Baked Eggs are heavenly! Savory and plentiful with a buttered slice of Charred sourdough to sop. The cheese Stone Grits are creamy and somewhat sweet. Possibly from the cream or butter. Not totally off-putting but expected the savory. Also, anytime you have stoneground grits, they MUST be cooked almost forever! These were a tad under need a touch more cheesy flavor. If it was supposed to be a white Cheddar, the Cheddar wasn't chedder-ing. Overall, still okay. (SN: we are Creole & Gullah Geechee & sensitive about our grits!) The Rigatoni with braised leeks and Kale were lackluster. Had to use a TON of Parmesan, lemons and some sea salt to give it life. The lifeline is it's fresh made Rigatoni. You're able to find a little libation celebration for everyone, even though none of the Whites or Sparkling, and we tasted most, worked for us. They had some fun cocktails though. As repeat visitors to this space, we are glad it is opened up with an open kitchen. The risk in an open kitchen is sometimes being privvy to "family squabbles." Thankfully, the CdC & Floor Manager squashed it because it would've made for uncomfortable dining. The Service was congenial but a little aloof at times, having to be reminded a number of times about basic items. Your tables should be quickly surveyed and scanned, which should help jog memory, especially when we watch our Server standing around, again, aloof. Overall great vibe and reservations or not, they are very accommodating. Definitely worth going to, especially with a group of friends or family. If solo, you are sure to find a friend, if desired.

We have been wanting to try Small Batch ever since I first heard that Tom Colicchio had opened on the island. Last night was finally the night. My husband surprised me and took me for my birthday. As per usual, we were treated to a culinary experience that we will reminisce about for years to come. We were greeted warmly by Kurt the GM. He showed us to our table and laid down the menu that was personalized with a happy birthday message to me. This is a lovely touch I always enjoyed at Colicchio & Sons in the city. Our server Jess was a consummate pro as well as an absolute doll. She was as enthusiastic as we were that we were about to have one of those special meals that leaves such an impression. We started our with the Grilled Oysters and Whipped Ricotta Toast. The oysters were fresh, plump and succulent. They were bathed in this remarkable sauce that had just the right hint of heat from the Calabrian Chilis, as well as that mild hickory smoke from the grill that hit the nose first, and then danced on the tongue. The whipped ricotta could have so easily been heavy-handed. Instead, it was this magical balance of creaminess, slight sweet from the honey truffle, crunch from the hazelnuts and the right amount of bitter and sweet from the braised dandelion greens. The portion size was bountiful, and honestly, I could have made a meal of that and the oysters...but we were in for even more of an adventure. We were gifted with a surprise preview of one of the spring dishes being added to the menu: Pillowy light Agnolotti served with fresh, al dente spring peas, crisp shiitake slices and unctuous chopped mushroom all in a brown butter sauce. We both took our first bite simultaneously and let out an audible "Oh My God!!!!" I think there was some sage in the brown butter? But something else added this Umami layer of flavor. It was exquisite. Mains: He had the Pork Chop with apples, I had Salmon with Horseradish crème fraiche and heirloom grains. He said it was without question, the best pork chop he had ever had. My salmon was cooked to a perfect medium, with this delightfully salted crust. Yellow beets were sweet and the perfect texture. The heirloom grains are the only thing we ate that was underwhelming. I felt it could have used a little acid and salt. Otherwise, perfection. For dessert, he had the strawberry rhubarb crumble and I had the cast iron cookie. Both were the perfect balance of sweet, salt and his, sour. So incredible. The food and service was extraordinary. The floor manager Lisa visited often to check in on us and make wine suggestions, as did the GM Kurt. What makes every restaurants that Tom opens so special for me is, while everything is on-point and the standard is so very high, it never feels stuffy. There is always a warm and welcoming energy that is exuded from the bones of the establishment and through the staff. We even talked with the chef (I'm so sorry we didn't ask his name!). He was so kind, respectful, and indulgent of our longwinded praise. Full disclosure; my husband and I are Top Chef junkies. Being able to experience Chef Colicchio's culinary prowess only makes us respect him even more as a judge. He sets the bar VERY high! Thank you all for the birthday to top all birthdays. We will be back!

Awesome vibe walking in...very clean lines and upscale feel. Extraordinary meal. Ordered two 'starters'...fried goat cheese and duck cassoulet. Both super delicious. My husband ordered the chicken thighs, seasoned perfectly. Chef made us their homemade pasta stuffed with squash...very fresh and tasty. I enjoyed watching the kitchen as they were super busy...all worked like a well orchestrated bunch.

I always pass by this place when I'm going to Roosevelt Field Mall or AMC Theatre 8, but never been until now for my birthday! I made a reservation for 4 through OpenTable for a Thursday night in October and it was confirmed very quickly. Upon arrival, the host already knew who I was and brought us to our seats. Much to my surprise, the place looked very small on the outside but was very specious inside. There was a first room where the bar was at and a dimmer, colder atmosphere. The second room was much larger where the open kitchen was. Loved watching the chefs cook and prepare our dinner in the brighter room with a homey feeling. This place changes its menu seasonally. The menu I looked at online was different than the one we received. We started with drinks where I ordered one of the only three non-alcoholic drinks, agave ginger reviver. It was exactly my cup of tea! I love ginger flavor and bubbly drinks. We did family style and ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees to share which I thought was perfect portion. The tuna tartare with arugula on top was very fresh and delicious. The ricotta toast was good and the nuts on top gave it a good texture. Although, the dandelion greens were a bit hotter than I expected. The grilled oysters come in a set of 6. Beautiful presentation and very flavorful. The burger was juicy when cooked medium rare and has a smoky taste to it. The rosemary garlic fries are beautifully seasoned and delicious. The chitarra pasta has a hint of curry flavor to it and was very unique. The pasta is made in house and I enjoyed it very much. I cannot leave a restaurant without ordering dessert. The dessert menu was different from the one I found online as well. The seasonal buttermilk panna cotta was perfect! Lovely texture and not too sweet with just the right amount of spice. Our server Sharon was very attentive and kind throughout the night. Looking forward to coming back and trying different dishes on the menu!

Celebrating my wife's bday with family, at her request to try Small Batch for a late Sunday lunch. Menu had enough choices to appease our group's foodie cravings. Among the drinks, appetizers and lunch entrees, everyone enjoyed the service, food taste and ambiance. Service was gracious for us to bring our own dessert for the celebration and service provided extra dessert plates and utensils to enjoy our dessert so thanks for their attention. Overall, my first experience and impression was 4.5 stars. Left off the half star for the $$$ which averaged over $50pp but would come again and recommend.

I immediately felt a very relaxed, chill non- pretentious vibe! The lighting is medium set--just the right illumination. Dim and low lights juxtaposed. The dress code can be as chill as a relaxed fit: jeans, sneakers, or a bit more fashionable. Either way, I believe you will feel appropriate.

Truly delicious, I loved the atmosphere, Farm house chic. Being in this restaurant made me forget I was at Roosevelt field Mall. The ambience was so calming. We were greeted by Kurt, who sat us promptly. Naomi our waitress walked over within seconds and was so friendly and welcoming. She was knowledgeable and attentive. Such a warming soul. We had the grilled octopus and tuna Tartar appetizers and the *come fly with me* and *thyme flies* cocktails. Delicious and effective (haha) hats off to the Bartender on shift. Truly great experience! Best lunch spot. Would recommend time and time again. The food and service were worth the price. Thank you Kurt and Naomi for your hospitality.

I love the ambiance.. we walked in without reservations and we only waited 5 mins to get seated.. they were busy but 5mins wait is not bad at all.. love the exposed kitchen concept so u can see the chefs in action.. very expensive.. food is good.. but u have to buy sides separately.. our appetizer was more expensive than my entree

The steak frites and French toast were amazing. We paired them with Bellinis and they it was a perfect match. The service was great and I 10/10 recommend

Visited for Sunday Brunch with my niece. It is located outside of Roosevelt Field Mall so finding nearby parking depends on time of day. They didn't offer valet parking. We were seated pretty quick when we arrived. The decor was beautiful and clean. The staff was pleasant and patient. We enjoyed our food and drinks. I had the Wagyu Burger and my niece had the Steak Frites. We drank a Mimosa and an Agave Ginger non alcoholic drink. For dessert we had the apple crumble and the cookie skillet. We cannot wait to visit again. Looking forward to trying their dinner menu.

Came here on a Saturday evening during a holiday weekend and surprisingly it wasn't packed. Guess everyone was shopping. Better for me! Now I have been here several times for Happy Hour but never dinner. I like restaurants with open kitchens. It feels personal and the obvious is you get to see the cleanliness level! My friend got the Rigatoni and I got the Bucatini... but first the waiter made sure to ask if I like spicy foods because it has a spicy pork ragu. Sign me up! While we waited for our food we ordered a bottle of white wine ( sorry don't remember the name but their wines are local). The food came out quick. I had to look at the menu again to make sure I got the right order because in my ignorance I didn't realize that Bucatini is similar to spaghetti but thicker and has more texture. So it's a fancy spaghetti dish. Did I mention that the waiter asked me if I liked spicy foods? Right so yeah he knew what he was talking about. Regardless I enjoyed it thoroughly! Of course I had to taste my friend's pasta. Talking about two completely different worlds. The flavors were fresh and light but still made a statement. The lack of people present enabled us to have great conversation and we were able to LISTEN to the food in a way that I don't think we could have had if it was packed. The reason for my 4 stars is that the wine wasn't chilled. Otherwise their happy hour is great, they have a pre-fixed dinner and I mean it's also my imaginary hot Chef husband Tom Collicchio's place. You cannot go wrong with Small Batch.

This used to be pretty good with the sticky buns, burgers. However, the quality I feel went down. Surprising for a Collichio establishment.

Wow wow wow. For such a casual restaurant I was blown away. Came here for a small celebration dinner and loved every second!All the food is farm to table and it shows. It's an open kitchen concepts which was nice and we got great service. Our food was piping hot and delicious. The octopus was tender and the flavor was sublime. The Veal Ricotta meatball didn't even need a knife and melts in your mouth, great sauce as well. The oysters were delicious, but not hearty. My brother loved his drink which was the Chili Chili Bang Bang. Can't wait to try all the food here. I will definitely bring friends and family here to impress them.

Really nice atmosphere with an open view into the kitchen. The chicken thighs are worth trying . Friendly and timely service but overall we felt the food lacked the wow factor; slightly bland and underwhelming for the price. We will be back to try other items of the menu. Given all the positive ratings, it's possible this was an off day.

Wow, mall food has come a very long way indeed! This place is beautifully styled, the food is prepared with great love, and the waitstaff is quite attentive. You haven't lived until you've tried their Cast Iron Cinnamon Roll. Chef's Kiss! 10 out of 10.
