   From the moment we walked in, Alexandra greeted us with warmth, enthusiasm, and a wealth of knowledge that set the tone for the evening. Our server, Sierra, was exceptional—her passion for the menu and skillful recommendations turned our meal into a true culinary tour de force. She went above and beyond, ensuring every course was thoughtfully guided and thoroughly enjoyed. The entire team was incredibly attentive, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and genuine friendliness. We shared laughs, stories, and were made to feel right at home. Manager Jamie stopped by multiple times to check in, which added a lovely personal touch. As for the food—it was nothing short of phenomenal. Don’t overlook the lesser-known cuts of meat; they’re packed with flavor and expertly prepared. The preserved lemon brown butter is a must-try—it elevates everything it touches. And whatever you do, get the truffle mashed potatoes. Decadent, aromatic, and unforgettable. The oysters were also outstanding: fresh, briny, and perfectly shucked. This was more than just a meal—it was an experience. Highly recommend!

   Such a fun experience of you're a steak lover and looking for something different than the typical steakhouse.

   I thought the service was great. Staff was very attentive and extremely friendly. First time going there and got the 5-course meal. Didn’t know what to expect but the sandwich was the best part of the meal. Some pieces of the chefs selection of steak were pretty raw which was disappointing because the glaze was very good. Not sure if I’d get the 5-course meal again as some of the menu items looked more enjoyable.

   We went for a birthday celebration. It was an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the service was great. It was such a cool experience to see them cross off the meat selection they have the chalkboard.

   Best steak I’ve had in years. Wonderful service and attention to detail. The wine by the glass list is wanting and not a fan of the croquettes. But you come for the steak and they don’t disappoint

   I had high hopes for Bateau, but didn’t love it. We enjoyed the sides we ordered more than the actual steak. The service was great and very helpful staff.

    Second time dining at Bateau and it wasn’t what i remember it being. It was nice. Food was good but the prices were very very high for what we got and the service was just meh this time. Felt kind of forgotten about. Not sure I’ll be back for a 3rd visit.
