The experience was great. They were overwhelmed for the Christmas rush and handled it well. Our server, Ciara D, was extremely pleasant and helpful. She stated that Batch is a " from scratch" kitchen and bar. She recommended the biscuits to start and they were amazing. I had a Batch Black Barrel lager and my 99 year old mom had a whiskey sour up. Both were delivered and were great. Mom had the Cajun Chicken Pasta and said it was delicious. I had the Jambalaya and it was delicious. Huge portions of food meant we both came home with a people box of leftovers. I will definitely return here again and would recommend to anyone that asks. Christmas lunch for two with a 22% tip was $115.00. Seems to be the norm these days. Bon appe'tit!!

Brandon took time to explain to me the how each item was prepared and cooked. I could taste multiple flavors and hints in each item, something I haven't found in other restaurants. The fried chicken skin was crisp and full of flavor, chicken meat was perfect. Very generous portions well presented.
