We hosted friends for dinner on a first visit for all of us. I was pleasantly amazed by our visit. The location is out of the way in an excellent setting. The menu was small but the food was good, presented nicely and was interestingly done with unusual flavors and pairings. Our wait staff was knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. We are definitely looking forward to going back very soon. read more

Went here for lunch first and left a review, and now updating for our dinner experience. Lunch was great and not busy at all when we went (we had reservation). Went for dinner (reservation) for the first time and it was an amazing experience. Love the atmosphere and the food was amazing and filling, not small portions. Everyone was friendly and kind and the service was great. The chicken was incredible and it is a more expensive place but worth it especially for a special occasions read more

Board & Batten - Turkey Bacon Sandwich - New American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Board & Batten has done it again! Every time we come we ponder why we eat anywhere else. The services is great! Like for real... the waiter can rattle off so many details about any and every dish(I could never). We love that the menu switches up so we get to try new things when we go! PLEASE run right now and get the Swordfish before it's gone. I have never had a better combination of flavors! The pork was fork tender and bursting with flavor. Also get the chocolate dessert that has the orange on top. It's so rich but I never wanted to stop eating it(I normally don't like chocolate cake). This place is a hidden gem! It's smaller and has a very cozy feel. I highly recommended reservations! read more

We've been here twice now: once for an anniversary celebration and again for a casual weekend lunch. Both visits were amazing. The staff is top-notch friendly and attentive, the atmosphere could not be any better out on the patio on a nice day, and the food is absolutely delicious. We've tried the French dip grilled cheese, the burger, the cheese crisp, the southwest salad, and the salted caramel bar and every single thing was fantastic. We will definitely continue coming back! read more

Excellent Food, Wonderful Service and a beautiful ambiance. There were 5 of us & we all overstayed to enjoy some additional glasses of Vino. read more

Never been disappointed here. We regularly come here for date night. The menu is always being updated and refreshed and we've never ordered anything we didn't love. Service is also amazing. read more

What a beautiful place to enjoy a meal with friends or on a date night. The staff was very attentive .. we started with cocktails. I had the black Manhattan with cherries.. very good! The menu was not especially long but did have something for everyone.. starters like bacon wrapped dates & crispy octopus .. salads & soup, pasta and entrees like scallops, burger, short rib, pork chops .. and carefully thought out dessert options. We started with the bacon wrapped dates.. sweet & salty.. yum I had the Duroc pork chop, it was grilled and juicy .. served on a bed of polenta, Brussel sprouts & bacon. So good! We shared the salted caramel butter bar .. so rich .. you almost need a cup of coffee to pair with it.. perfect for sharing and the perfect ending to a great dinner with friends. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Beautiful and spacious outdoor patio dining! (5 stars) The octopus appetizer was delicious. (5 stars) Did not enjoy our server Aaron. He wasn't friendly, very condescending, and not welcoming. (0 stars) Examples: did not provide a drink menu as we were waiting for our table to be ready; server was obviously annoyed when one of us asked him again about the dishes; server made snarky comments about the dog we had with us. read more

Always delicious! The patio is beautiful, and so is the inside. I noticed they put up some materials inside to absorb more sound, which is a great improvement. The chef here makes the most delicious pasta and desserts! Great service, always. read more

This was our first time experiencing this restaurant. Had an early reservation and was the second table seated after opening. Great service but towards the end of meal, the restaurant became busier, the service fell off a bit. The food was good but the dessert, a salted caramel bar was the star of the meal. Off the charts!!! Had Diver Scallops, good, tender not rubbery but the sides needed attention. Pork Osso Buco was tender, and Brussel sprouts crispy. All around was a decent experience with some minor attention towards above mentioned could be a five star experience. Maybe... read more

This little gem is tucked away and has inside and outside dining options. The menu is unique and fresh. Our server presented the seasonal menu, specials including a special Autumn cocktail and tempura pork belly starter. Both were delicious but the show stopper was the roasted grape and olive mix with herbs, feta cheese and grilled bread. I have been obsessing over it since Friday and will try to make it myself! Warm grapes, who knew?!?! The server presented yummy options for the kids. We ordered extra delicious shoestring fries - and we were not disappointed with the gigantic serving bowl of piping hot fries. Two of us opted for the roast chicken which was probably the best I have ever had. The huge side of carrots were cooked perfectly too. We also ordered the Sicilian pork chop which was meaty with the perfect blend of Italian flavors. Overall a delicious meal and wonderful evening. Thank you B&B! read more

Great food and outdoor seating. We ordered bottle of wine with lunch and received food before wine. Otherwise service was stellar. We will go back as food (chicken sandwich on Nobel ciabatta and fries were wonderful! read more

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner!!! I haven't been pleasantly surprised in a long time. This place is amazing. In todays environment where you can't find good help, every employee here seemed like the genuinely cared about their job and their clientele. From Josue my waiter to the incredible bus boy this team is professional and amazing to watch work. I haven't even mentioned the food or drink yet! Great selection of cocktails and the food was nothing short of perfection. I always tell my wife, when you have a small selection, you better do it well! Board & Batten knocked it out if the park. This is the perfect date night location. Can't wait to return. Thank you to everyone that made this an incredible night for the three of us! read more

Wonderful well placed in a commercial area great place to enjoy a meal with friends or business associates

What a lovely atmosphere! It was a beautiful evening to dine on the patio. But, there were two different weddings in full-swing very nearby. The closest one was a little overwhelming once the DJ got started. The food was tasty, well prepared and the presentation was lovely. Our server was not as attentive as he ought to have been. Didn't check back within a timely manner, forgot the drinks... twice, and disappeared for a stint between dropping dessert, menus and actually taking our order, but all in all, I would recommend Board & Batten, and I will go back, however, I will be sure there isn't a large event happening on our next visit. read more

Dinner was great and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night or special occasion. Great large drink menu and very creative craft drinks.

This is our second visit this year! The food and service have been consistent! Our server, Aaron was very congenial and very knowledgeable! The halibut was a fish that 'melted in your mouth' It was that good! My partner had meatballs (starter) with spaghetti. and enjoyed every bite! Unfortunately we were both too full this time to try the strawberry upside down cake or bread pudding with maraschinos. We WILL return and recommend you all of our friends! Kim and Pete read more

The off menu blue crab was perfection! One was not enough and the line of just enough would have most likely had the bill looking the national debt ceiling. (Laugh but it was that amazing.) The oyster carpelli - there might, most definitely, be a spelling error here but ordering this delicious gift- that was NOT the error. It was what Gustav Klimpt's The Kiss would be like if one could enjoy the same on the fork, the eye and the lips. Thank you for Aaron who loving guided the decision making this the best of everything as my mom and I celebrated her birthday! read more

Looking to try a new place I chose Board & Batten based on the the high ratings. If you are seeking a hip & trendy experience this place should do the trick. Pros: - Made a reservation online and we were seated promptly. - The food was good: savory and rich. - Ambience for outside seating is lovely. - Our server was friendly. Cons: - I originally wanted to sit inside however it was so loud, the acoustics were terrible. - If you want drinks you're in luck - they take up 3/4 of the menu (a Pro for some, but not for me). - Do not even try to customize your order: the menu clearly states that any requests will be rejected. - Entree options are extremely limited. - Appetizers were tiny (we ordered 2): the bacon wrapped dates and a (one) beef kebab Just weird: The bill was delivered awkwardly inside a old & ragged (and kind of gross) small book which contained comments from past diners. Board & Batten is an Instagram-friendly place for a fancy meal, however one time was plenty for me. read more

Board & Batten is one of the cutest places! The food was good and the service as well. Our pictures turned out amazing! And it is right next to Stonebridge Manor. We will be back! read more

food was great thank you for the great service as well place was super clean and everyone was so friendly

We went today for lunch and the burgers are not what they used to be. It tasted like a frozen patty and no green chili flavor. They must have changed the burgers and I can no longer recommend. It makes me worry about the quality of everything changing now. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. I sometimes forget their hours and try to go on days they're closed, so check their hours if you go. Highly recommend!! read more

This is a great oasis from the norm. They have excellent staff. The menu is creative, and something for everyone. They have a lunch menu until 1500. Happy hour until 1700. And dinner menu after that. Many items do not carry over. The place is immaculate. Lots of greenery and shade. Super cute atmosphere and great staff. The musters are high enough to not make you wet, but you still feel the humidity and climate change. If they have bacon wrapped dates (usually 1500-1700) get them and do TRY the mango passion fruit cider. There is floating pulp. Come on! But don't be afraid to try anything. The gazpacho was great as well. read more

Board & Batten - Cheese & Olive Plate - New American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Such a treasure. A few minutes off the 202 @ Exit 20 in Mesa. Fantastic service; thank you Danielle. Our lunch was a house made draft Paloma and an Amber draft by AZ brewed Dragoon; both paired very well with the tuna on toasted, buttery sourdough and the Vera burger. We tried the house-made herb chips, fries and salad for sides. Yum! Outdoor patio seating, indoor tables and bar seating. Don't be thrown by driving through a business district. Very welcoming staff. We put this on our list to next try for dinner. read more

I've been here two occasions and both experiences were top notch experiences. This time we got a bunch of social hour appetizers. All of the dishes were 5/5 except for the filler sliders. My group of tasters believe it was made too dry Very pretty place to sure down and catch up with friends! At night, make sure you request to be seated next to the fire place read more

We love this establishment for all occasions. The food is fresh, of great quality, very consistent, and very beautifully presented I have a sweet tooth and love a particular desert they serve. The service is amazing. All the staff are great and enjoyable and perfectly attentive, totally spot on. The atmosphere is perfect with a nice buzz about it. The restaurant is clean and has beautiful decor. We really enjoy the outdoor patio it's very large, well arranged with beautiful shrubbery and gorgeous open sky's. You will not be disappointed. read more

As soon as I saw photos of the adorable patio at Board and Batten , I had to go there. Honestly, didn't even care what was on the menu, just wanted to be sitting on the patio sipping a cocktail. Having it on my list of places to go for a few months, I finally got to go with a girlfriend for lunch, a few days before Christmas. It seems like a hidden restaurant, with it not being on a main rode, but still easy to find and have there own parking area. Walking up to the restaurant it was just as darling as the photos! We, of course, sat on the patio with it being a beautiful sunny day. It wasn't too crowded but there were plenty of tables to sit outside. Our server was nice and attentive, and helped me decide what entree to order. Ok , so now why I really wanted to write this review. With my mindset not really caring about the food, boy was I wrong! The food agree is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We ordered cheese and olives for our appetizer; the olives were delicious along with the cheese. I ordered the burger (rare) and I think this is the best burger I have ever had! It was cooked perfectly (when I cut into it all the juices came running out),the bread was delicious and all the flavors on the burger were just perfect. My friend ordered the portobello grilled cheese (minus the portobello), I had to taste hers and it was delicious also ! For dessert, we got the salted caramel butter bar and yup, you guessed it! absolutely delicious! I was so blown away by every bite of everything we ordered. I have told so many friends about this place and I can't wait to bring more to show them this hidden gem in Mesa! read more

This place is so underrated. Such a nice restaurant with great ambiance. Definitely a date night spot or special event because you can expect to spend 25-40 dollars per meal. Bacon wrapped dates and our meals were great. Alcoholic drinks could use some fine tuning. I tried two and both were just a solid ok. read more

Tried to have lunch here, host told us they were fully committed and said we could dine at the bar. Sat at the bar for 10+ min with no service... no menus nothing. Meantime, hostess sat people with no reservations behind us. Clearly unstaffed. Try somewhere else. read more

This place was pretty good! I really really enjoyed the atmosphere. It definitely didn't feel like we were in Phoenix anymore. With all of the greenery on the patio it felt more like we were in California or something. The bacon wrapped dates were great. I had the spaghetti with pork and have to say it wasn't really my favorite. The homemade noodles were good, but thought the ground pork was a bit interesting. The salads looked amazing though! If I come back I'd try one of those. Very pleasant staff, but holy flies! Tons of flies that it was hard to enjoy the meal. If they could get a fly trap it may help. read more

Cute little place with a large patio dining option. We started with the cheese and olive plate and that was okay. Good but not great. What was great was my tuna melt. OMG that deserves a five star in itself. The bread was toasted to perfection and everything in it was made to perfection. I also Really liked the salad. It was a perfect blend of arugula and apples with some celery and watermelon radish. I would definitely return. read more

Great food! Great ambience. Very good customer service. Sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful day.

This place is a staple for us. They are close and convenient but that's not why we go. They are always changing their menu and doing something fun and new. They still have quite a few things that are constant like the Lemon Caesar Salad and the Salted Caramel Butter Bar which are always a must. The staff are always so friendly and tentative. The mood at this restaurant is always so chill. You can go here for any occasion. We tried the 3 course Thursday for date night and really enjoyed everything. read more
