Okay Tucson...I see you. I loved everything about BATA; the aesthetic, the service. And of course the food! Definitely an elevated dining experience, which we don't have much of here. Our waiter was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. We loved that 90% of the menu is sourced within Arizona and everything else is still within a couple hundred mile radius. So knowing that this menu rotates def will make us go back often. The menu is made up of small plates. I think there were plenty of options but majority are more vegetable forward. I wouldn't recommend this for group dining, because the portions are small. I would say perfect for 2-4 to share and try a bunch of different things. We were hungry when we got seated and were nervous we wouldn't leave full, but we were happily proved wrong. read more

This was our 2nd visit to Bata. The first time everything was just perfect. This time, not so much. The service was good as before. The appetizers were delicious (we ordered all 3!). I was really looking forward to the mushroom dish with squash and beets, but I was very disappointed. The squash and beets were strongly pickled and were in such large chunks they overwhelmed the mushrooms' more subtle flavors. I finally scraped them off and just ate the rest of the dish. read more

Beautifully prepared foods with unique flavors. Some plates were so teeny tiny really hard to share. Good service and ambiance. They also made us an off-me requested cocktail that was incredible! read more

BATA - All 3 desserts - New American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been debating how to review this restaurant. We went for a birthday celebration - party of 2. We knew it would be a much different experience than we've ever had just based on the concept and reviews. First off, the restaurant is beautiful. The decor is modern, and it feels like you're in a big city. Second, the service is excellent. You can tell that they pride themselves in taking care of their customers. They even had a happy birthday card on the table when we were seated. Third, they cook everything with an open flame. This means that what they consider to be charred could be what you consider to be burnt. We ate six different items. 3 of them were some of the best food we've ever eaten anywhere. The other 3 were some of the worst food we've ever eaten anywhere. This review is hard because our experience included both incredible highs and incredible lows. I think this restaurant deserves a second chance one day. read more

Upscale dining with imaginative and ever-changing menu. The service here is very good as would be expected for the upscale and modern dining experience. The food is very unique and the portions are quite small particular for the price. However, it can be fun to sample a number of dishes with a large group of friends, as our group did. It's a unique food experience that shines in Tucson where little compares to the innovative menu. read more

We returned but this time we ordered from the menu versus doing thr chefs counter. It was a stunning service as usual! We enjoyed every single dish (and we tried every appetizer) and the beverages as usual were perfect. I love going early to go to Barbata and LOVE going with the Dealers choice- just a couple of insights to my preferences and they create magic in a glass. The bar is dark and romantic and upstairs is open and inviting but still quaint in it's own way. read more

It's a unique dining experience and we were looking forward to it. We expected great service and an explanation/presentation of the menu as it changes daily. The only gentleman that explained the dishes was the chef when he delivered them to our table, so we had no idea what we were ordering. He was excited to tell us about them and, although the halibut resembled a brain :-) it was simply amazing! No one took our drink order and we did not see our server for over 20 minutes. We had to ask for assistance. Once our server took our order, she was MIA the rest of the night, knew nothing about the menu, and offered no input or suggestions. She said she was servicing a large party in the back. It was disappointing. We were so excited to try this place. Maybe an off night. Check out the halibut! read more

THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN TUCSON!!!!! Let me repeat for the folks in the back - BEST RESTAURANT IN TUCSON!!!! The food here is eclectic and you won't find on any other menu here in town. It is small plates sometimes with 1 bite of food but I'm telling you, that one bite is amazing! Normally when I know I'm going out for dinner, I will not eat lunch. This is not that type of place - eat a small lunch early so you're not starving when you arrive but hungry enough to enjoy sampling several small plates of food. The menu frequently changes so you may not get the same food or drinks each time you come here and trust me, that is okay because all the food is so delicious. Oliver is our favorite server and I highly recommend you ask to sit in his section! He will definitely walk you through ordering and suggesting different items to try. This is the perfect place to take a date, celebrate a birthday or anniversary. read more

Modern elegant restaurant, innovative and quite tasty cocktails, very good service. This is a small plate restaurant so be prepared to order multiple dishes. It's also cooked fresh so be patient while your exquisite food is being prepared. If you like pate I recommend the duck offal tartlet. Beautifully made and quite rich. One is plenty. The Happy Valley Saddle cocktail was the perfect citrusy counterpart for it. The beef cheek skewer is a beefy tender delicious couple of bites, too. Great sauce, a little tangy and a little spicy. Let's you get a little protein in before the veggies. Let's discuss the roasted winter squash. So, you have to order it. Really. It's a must. Sweet and savory notes, mixed textures, completely balanced. Warm and filling. Easily shared by 2. It's more filling than you'd expect from a baby squash but all the grains and greens have an impact. I wish they'd brought it after the mushrooms because I was pretty full after all that squashy goodness. The mushroom and sunchoke plate was a mixed bag for me. The sunchokes were nutty and hearty. The mixed mushrooms were charred well and had deep umami flavor with mixed texture due to the various mushroom varieties. Really good. The miso butter was an excellent creamy accompaniment with the crispy edged shrooms and starchy sunchokes. Unfortunately the charred greens were over seasoned and way too salty. The greens inside the mushroom brochette were fine (not great) but the bed of greens was unpleasant. I did like the olive oil cake. It was a bit dry but the cream quenelle helped. Overall, a very nice and enjoyable dinner. Recommended. read more

Valentine's Day Dinner Date. The flavors were amazing. Great ambience. Service was great. The only con was that I requested my steak (main course) to be well done and it was on the rare side. I'm pregnant and can't eat undercooked meat, so I gave it to my husband. Overall I did have enough to eat though with the other 5 courses and limited stomach room. It was on the pricey side, as our bill was over $200 with no alcohol. It was about quality, not quantity this time! read more

I was visiting friends in Tucson and we decided to try Bata one night (their first time too). What a treat! When you walk in you're greeted by a light smoky smell from the open kitchen--a harbinger of good things to come. Bata's menu varies, and I've attached a photo of the one we were able to choose from. They're pretty vegetable-forward in a creative way, and whether you're a pescatarian (like my friends) or not (me!), you'll all find something to try. The dishes are small and the idea is to order several things to share, and the staff works with you to arrange a good selection and enough to fill you up. First, cocktails! There's a fun selection and I had something with rum and bitters and pomegranate called an Alpenglow that went perfectly with our first plate of little sunchoke tartlets that were filled with a creamy curd and sprinkled with fennel and rhubarb powder (a really cool idea). Then on to wine (they have a great selection both by the glass and the bottle), and several other dishes. I had to try the beef tartare, which had some spicy aioli and chili oil with it--delicious! (And all mine, since my friends didn't partake. Yum!) We all agreed that the albacore crudo was probably our absolute favorite dish of the night: kissed for a hot second on a coal grill and served with a corn cream puree and pickled vegetables. There was also an intriguing dish with malawach (a tasty flatbread) and some labne that had a cured egg mixed in and a sharp cheese sprinkled on top; grilled root vegetables with two sauces, one a curry and the other a spicy tomato; a mushroom skewer grilled to perfection; and then finally the halibut, which was poached in butter and came with a kind of grain porridge made with corn. By the time the halibut arrived we were all pretty full; the butter poaching quite honestly may have not been necessary as it was really rich, but the flavor was still delicious. We couldn't leave without trying one of the desserts, and the Meyer lemon sorbet was the perfect choice: a nice sharp but sweet bite that came with a piece of smoked lemon peel that tasted almost like bacon. Amazing! The decor is airy and modern and still very comfortable; I especially appreciated how diverse the dining crowd was. Really wonderful staff and service too--our server clearly knew the food and had some great suggestions for us, and helped us choose good wine pairings. This place is definitely a splurge if you go all-out like we did, but there's also a bar in the main restaurant (right in front of the open kitchen, so a great view) and we saw some solo diners and pairs there ordering a smaller range of plates, which I could absolutely see popping in to do. My local friends will have to try the bar downstairs next (which apparently has a small menu), and as for me, I look forward to my next Tucson visit to make a return trip to Bata myself. read more

This is my second time at Bata, and it did not disappoint. Choose for Me with the Wine Pairing was amazing. I am GF, and they went above and beyond to accommodate me. You will not be disappointed by Bata. Eat here as soon as you can!! read more

The bread was light, airy, flavorful and fluffy. I enjoyed it and the accompanying salted butter spread on the dish. I saved a roll during the beginning of the meal for sopping up delicious bits through the dinner and this was a great choice! The albacore crudo was acid forward. When I was looking for balance and a nice bite of fish, I found my tastebuds overcome with a harsh, numbing acidic note from the grapefruit segments. I wanted a little more richness, maybe from a fattier fish, perhaps a bit of dairy. It just seemed that something was missing. The cod was the next dish that came out. It was SPICY! I was a bit disappointed because I love spicy food but it overwhelmed the whole flavor of the dish. In the center of the cut of fish, the spice was balanced by amount of meat, but toward the ends, the bites were primarily spicy sauce. The accompanying Jerusalem artichoke and beet bites were delicious! The squash two ways was BY FAR the best thing we ate at BATA. I was absolutely in awe with the flavor of the tender and sweet bites with the perfectly spiced curry and herbs. The textures in the raw squash salad were also amazing! There were a multitude of flavors, textures and even some warm and cold elements in the bowl which were fantastic. By the end of the meal, our server was nowhere to be found though. There was a 30-45 min delay on getting water in the midst of our meal as well which felt a bit odd for the caliber of this restaurant. By the end, we wanted a dessert but were tired of the slow and unpredictable service that we settled up with our waitress and left. I will fondly remember the squash dish but don't know that I'll rush back to BATA. read more

Ambiance: Classy, upscale, plenty of seating and a cool bar area where you can watch all the action happen. There's also the bar in the basement (Bar Bata) that's a cool vibe. Service: Efficient and personable with an explanation of the food with every course you receive. Food: I keep trying to like Bata. I really do. It was fantastic the first time but everytime I come back it appears that the portions get smaller and the prices get higher. The food quality and flavor itself is often a hit/miss as well, more often a miss than a hit. Cocktails are also often a hit/miss, luckily more hits than misses than the food. Overall, probably won't come back especially for the portion and prices. I've been disappointed everytime unfortunately. read more

BATA is an elegant, creative restaurant for dining in a refined setting with people whose company you cherish. BATA's food, service, and cocktails are very good to excellent.

Nice ambience but food was disappointing. Steak was fatty and tough. Hot dishes were lukewarm warm at best. Menu is extremely limited. Unique and eclectic food requires a specific palate to be appreciated. I'm sure this establishment will appeal to those looking for a trendy gourmand experience to brag about, but not those of us who just want a good meal for the money spent. Service, however, was excellent. read more

Your favorite restaurant is now your second-favorite restaurant. Ultra cool vibe on the approach, into reception, and throughout the entire venue. Meticulously appointed, even down to the lights on the tables. Wait staff is knowledgeable, hospitable and accommodating. Extensive wine list, craft cocktails and "Zero Proof" cocktails. Food is visually appealing, well-plated, and impeccably prepared, not to mention next-level delicious. Portions are perfect for sharing however, once you have your own bite you'll wish you had the entire dish all to yourself. BATA-boom. read more

I just finished my third visit to BATA last night to celebrate my wedding anniversary. I apologize for slacking off and not posting after my first visit since someone needs to set the record straight regarding some of these one star reviews (a travesty IMO). BATA isn't red lobster, Tucson. You don't come here for free sides or large portions. You come here for an elevated, exceptional dining experience. Every. Single. Dish. Was. Incredible. The flamed oysters with caviar were so good, we ordered another round. I can't remember a better bite- maybe when I did the tasting menu at Robuchon. The bayleaf ice cream, just wow. I savored every flavor and bite. I cannot comprehend how people are complaining about portion size and price when, as you are seated, you are told: these are small bites and the menu clearly shows each item. I hate to get too preachy here but until Tucson locals stop complaining about price, and realize there's a huge difference between portions and experience/creative artistry in cuisine- we will always struggle in keeping great restaurants like this open. The service, ambiance and cuisine are unmatched. Well done. Thank you for a wonderful meal. Don't change anything and keep the oysters on the menu forever, please!!! read more

Read about Bata in the Tucson Lifestyle magazine. Tried them out on September 26, 2024. During our visit to Tucson from Honolulu. Bata didn't disappoint. Food was excellent, described & explained very well by our attentive server, Grace S. Dishes were well prepared, done to perfection, best tried sharing family style. Cocktails were mixed well. Ambiance was conducive to a nice comfortable evening. Bata is 5 stars, worthy of a Michelin Star/ James Beard rating! read more

What didn't go well would be a better question and I can't think of a single thing that went wrong, other than parking is a bit weird/challenging. I had about six plates with a friend and each one was an absolute treat. I will be back to try their menu when it changes. Service was excellent and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really charmingly industrial read more

Overall: BATA is definitely trying to be a fine dining establishment, but is incredibly unbalanced between quantity, quality, and cost. If you're charging a 5 star cost for tiny dishes, they need to be 5 star quality. To be fair, none of the dishes were "bad". But I shouldn't be paying 5 star prices for mediocre food with really small portions. Most of the food we had was 1 dimensional or completely unbalanced in flavor profile. Almost every dish on the menu was the same texture: purees, aiolis, gravy, porridge, mushrooms, scallops, crudo, tartare. I'm so disappointed in this meal I came out of food review retirement just to post this. Bottomline: BATA is committing robbery with their mediocre food, ridiculous pricing, and small portions Service: 5/5 - server did a great job, super attentive, very helpful. Food came out promptly without a long wait. Ambiance: 5/5 - definitely a cool spot, the open kitchen concept is always nice. Food: 2.5/5 - We tried 5 dishes. Flamed Oyster w/ lemon basil, pork fat, charred onion powder, kanzuri oil , Caviar - solid bite, you get a big hit of the citrus with a little char to follow through. $12 (1 oyster) Beef Tartare - this one had the most flavor out of all of our dishes. The beef was slightly cooked. Overall it was seasoned well, the oak aioli and chile oil really shined. The wheat tortilla was a weird addition that felt like took away from the dish. Both the tortilla and the tartare were really good by themselves. $18 (3 spoonfuls worth) coal seared tuna crudo w/ lime leaf, grilled peach broth, egg yolk sauce - This dish just didn't make any sense. The whole dish was just completely taken over by the lime leaf. The egg yolk sauce and peach broth combination didn't mesh. The dish just came out flat. $18 (4 pieces of tuna) Mixed Summer Squash w/ chickpea tamari butter, kimchi curry sauce - Fresh squash with a curry sauce. Unsure where the kimchi came in as the curry was overpowering. The tamari butter was barely noticeable on some of the squash pieces that wasn't touching the curry. Overall, just 1 dimensional. Just squash with curry. $14 (7 small pieces of squash) Chile-butter poached halibut w/ AZ grain porridge, salsa verde, smoked butter sabayon - Easily the most disappointing dish we had. Sabayon overpowered most of the dish until you finished it. The grain porridge and salsa verde underneath were solid, but theme of the night, everything just weirdly felt flat. $44 (1 serving of halibut maybe 6 ounces?) Side note: The table next to us ordered the $42 grilled chicken breast with blackened squash sauce and pickled okra. It was literally 1 grilled sliced chicken breast with 2 pickled okra... read more

We had the tasting menu and honestly regretted it. There were more misses than hits. Our waiter was great but the supporting staff really struggled. Either not knowing how to describe the dish or shaking so much that a lot of my drink was left on the table and their tray. I doubt I'll ever come back and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. There's so many other great dining options in Tucson. read more

This was an interesting place to eat. The menu changes, so we had our server explain to us what they had the evening we went. Most of it was veggie-based and all of it looked unique. She suggested that we get a variety of items to share between the four of us, so that is what we did. We ordered five different items--bread, Brussels sprouts, Yukon potatoes, a fish dish, and beef/pork bites. I will say that each item was absolutely delicious, the potatoes being my favorite. The huge downside for us was the very small portions for a lot of money. The bill was around $100, which wouldn't be that bad if we hadn't left still hungry. Basically, we each got a small bite or two of each item. If cost isn't an issue, go ahead and give it a try. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was beautiful. read more

Holy crap. Awful. It's started with the waiter spilling wine on our table ( no big problem. Accidents do happen). Wait staff was less than amateur. But the food....terrible. Our halibut was grossly overcooked. Tiny portion with a few squash pieces. $42. Ridiculously overpriced, tasteless and under whelming. We couldn't have had a more disappointing dining/culinary experience. Eat before you go.... Or better....don't go. read more

We had a wonderful time exploring the menu of Bata. We started with the aged beef and pork bite and smoked chicken dolma. The smoked chicken dolma was the clear winner. The beef and pork bite was a bit salty and lacked a solid flavor profile. The Chile sauce on the dolma gave the dish the added heat it needed without losing your taste buds. The beef tartare was elegant, flavorful, and served as an explosion of flavor in your mouth. From the oak aioli to the nixtamalized grains we enjoyed every bite of this until we were scraping the bowl. The winner of the night came from the grilled mushroom skewer, this stole our hearts. The whisky garlic glaze and koji oil were forefront in the flavor profile. I think we should have gotten two of these. Our miss of the night was the aged pork loin, it lacked depth of of flavor, was a tad overcooked and it like felt there wasn't much time put into preparing the dish To end the night, we'd recommend the embered apple ice cream, cake, with grilled lions mane crème anglaise. This was not only beautifully prepared but made for the perfect end to this wonderful meal. read more

We went here for NY Eve and loved the experience, so we wanted to try it for a non-occasion meal. We like the understated ambiance here, and their wait staff is seriously well-trained. They can answer any questions you have about the menu and food prep. (Good if you have food allergies, or like us, are lactose intolerant.) The food is well-prepared, fresh, and delicious. We like getting small plates and sharing our food and comparing impressions, and we get to do that at Bata. Because of our dietary restrictions, nothing on the dessert menu was appropriate for us. The server proactively told us of an off-menu dessert (shhhhh) that we could have, and it was the perfect touch to our meal. read more

I've eaten at starred restaurants all over the world and bata's tasting menu (10+ course) can easily hang with the best of them. Phenomenal meal from start to finish, I was stuffed but I wanted to keep eating and eating! The chefs are so creative with the way they play with flavors and their passion for food shows in their work. They're true artists who continually experiment with food for new flavors and textures. I was especially impressed with how they did their veggie dishes. It's tough to really make good veggie dishes where the vegetable is primary focus of the dish and they were phenomenal. Bata has become one of my new favorites and I hope they continue to shine in Tucson for a long time. BTW their tasting menu price is a steal compared to the caliber of food they make.... I believe you need to email them to make a chef's counter/tasting menu reservation read more

Listed in the top 50 best restaurants in the US this place did not disappoint. To try a variety of menu items we did the special chefs tasting menu that comes with wine pairings. You have to email them on their website to reserve this. It last 2-3 hours and we had 10 courses! This menu was very delicious, the chef comes and tells you all the ingredients in each meal and how everything is locally sourced within a certain radius. Every single item was delicious and very flavorful. I can't even pick my favorite at this point. The wine pairings were good, but not the greatest selections so that's the only thing I would change, otherwise what a dining experience this was! read more

Arrived hungry, spent $50, left hungry. The staff are great. Very nice and attentive. The food does taste delicious. I had the Smoked Yukon potatoes, butter sauce, trout roe, and chives ($20), a glass of Syrah wine ($13), and the Monsoon chocolate mousse, orange tuile, pecan milk, cherry meringue ($15). That desert was one of the best I had my whole life. But I was supremely disappointed when the potatoes were brought out. I knew just looking at them that I would have to eat again when I got home. Like the picture doesn't do device for how small a portion it is. I finished it in 3 bites. Those bites were delicious, but tiny. I would not come back here except for the dessert. read more

Was in town for the day for a lunch-meeting & stumbled upon a art & food festival nearby. Instead of festival food, I wanted to sit down for a dinner meal...this place was delightful. Found it on YELP! Hostess was sweet & since I was alone, she offered me the bar or a table. The bar looks into the kitchen (& all the busy-ness. Nah, I'll pass. So I asked for a table instead by the window. A great seat. Warm, soft, solid wood tables w/ it's special table down light. Tall, exposed ceilings with raw brick walls and old studs and exposed HVAC in the ceiling. This industrial look is in. Fun vibe w/ the low lights & music. They don't have ice tea, so you couldn't get sn Arnold Palmer. Enjoyed a mock tail first, as I have a 1.5 hour drive back to Tempe. Told the waitress (Abby) to let the Bartender surprise me. Yum! Appetizer was the Malawach. Save some to enjoy w: the hummus. Grilled carrots over hummus. Dinner: Guinea Fowl w/ a butternut purée. (Can't wait to enjoy my leftovers.) Desert: Chocolate hazelnut Staff delightful & kept my water full & the food came promptly. I'll be back. read more

If you're looking for a unique and amazing culinary experience in Tucson, BATA should be on your list. The concept is live fire cooking, using regional ingredients, and served in shareable tapas style plates (which is great for trying a variety of dishes). The menu features a majority of vegetable based dishes (with some fish and pork dishes) and changes based on the season. Though my husband and I are typically fans of fish or meat based dishes, we have been pleasantly surprised that our favorite dishes are the vegetable focused ones - highly recommend getting the malawach if it's on the menu (which it seems to be one of the dishes that consistently stays on!). We also appreciate that as you receive your food, the staff explains the details of the ingredients and preparation of the dish. The ambiance is very modern and open yet each table feels intimate - perfect for celebrating a special occasion. Even though it is definitely a splurge meal, you are paying for the experience and for high quality ingredients and technique - looking forward to the next celebratory excuse to go! read more

I love the concept, the space, and the curated location. It's a huge industrial room with high ceilings and spaced out tables. The idea behind bata is everything is cooked over an open fire with locally sourced ingredients with servers who are knowledgeable about the menu items and are quick to answer any questions. The food however, falls flat. I've been three times and only the first time would I give it 5 stars. After that, the novelty starts to wear off and it feels like the same food items every time. The most recent time I felt like more than not, my dishes had the same grain item and it felt redundant to me. They said they will be rotating the menu out for winter, so l'll be back to try once more. At this point, for the price and portions and repetition, I would only give it 3 stars. read more

I wanted to love this place, but I was underwhelmed. The ambience was nice and the tables were spaced out so you didn't feel crowded and you could hear your friends conversation. Our server was knowledgeable, but came across as condescending when conveying information and answering questions. A number of the vegetables in a couple of dishes were unpleasantly undercooked, and that affected the experience of at least two or three of our plates. This last comment is not food related, however, it affects part of the evenings' experience for me, and that is the shared ladies/mens room. I know it's the current trend, but can we please get back to separate facilities? I needed to adjust a tucked-in article of clothing. There was no room in the stall so I came out, waited till the man washing his hands had left, but another gentleman came in just as I was beginning my wardrobe adjustment. I think part of the experience of refined dining is to have a comfortable restroom. This fell way short for me. Hard working staff and I wish them luck and hope for improvement. read more

So let me begin on a positive note. The space is beautiful space, the tables are well spaced and there is a great view of the kitchen and the food is tasty. The staff is friendly and they know the food. Our waiter while highly annoying, everything was can we help you, the royal we maybe 16 times at least and pretentious. We went early because we were going to a show and we made the reservation the day with we accompanying we. See how 5 times of we is ridiculous. I cannot tell the names of what we ate because each menu item listed all ingredients and the written words had more substance than the food ( super small portions). We started out with a yogurt dip with a type of Filo dough bread, $14 bucks Shishito peppers $13, pork $22, bread $8, potatoes $13 no picture, bread pudding $14, ordinary coffee $5. The bill ended up around $130 bucks, and in spite of the royal we I and my companion paid the bill. I would suggest that you eat before and eat after you go here. Also they were in a hurry to get rid of us and tried to take the plates repeatedly while were still eating off the plate. So if you want to take we someplace that doesn't feel quite Tucson I would suggest this is the place. read more
