Came here for dinner with a group of 6 on a Friday. I was a bit concerned, as the couple who made…read morethe reservation for our group here normally go to proper "sit down and be served" restaurants, and Craft always reminded me of more of a bistro with a relatively simple menu and somewhat stark presentations. Also, when we arrived here most all the outdoor tables for the surrounding restaurants were full, while the tables at Craft were empty for the most part. This Craft location isn't large - the interior of the restaurant is especially small with just a walk-up counter and a few smaller tables. Most of their seating is on the patio area in front of the entrance, and they were happy to move a few tables together to accommodate our group of 6. We each ordered a cocktail to start, which were well-made, and then we ordered our main courses. Those who got pizzas said they were really good. I had the milanesa caprese and it was also good, though the caesar salad I ordered for my side had large chunks of both tomato and bacon, and the white dressing definitely wasn't caeser and was relatively flavorless. While I'd give our overall experience on that night 4 stars and I'd note that service was attentive throughout our time here, there are other restaurants I'd likely patronize both in this plaza and the few adjacent ones before I'd consider returning to Craft for dinner. That said, I'd definitely come here as a solid spot for breakfast or a quick lunch.

We went to watch the NY Knicks beat the SA Spurs 94-90 to win the 2026 NBA Finals! The place was packed with lots of energy. We managed to find seats luckily. We ordered the Batch Burger with fries to share as it is a big burger. We added the aged cheddar cheese. They sell the fries, sauce and cheese separately. So it came to $28.62 for the burger n fries! Slightly overcharged. The burger did not taste good at all and there were 8-10 little fries without any flavor. We asked our server to please have the manager stop by. She reluctantly agreed. The manager adjusted the bill after seeing the fries and brought out a new plate of fries. We appreciated that he made it right. Parking is wherever you can find a spot on the street or next door at the Hamptons Inn for a charge or the parking garage across the street for a charge. Entrance to Batch was using stairs, see photo.

I try to be as honest as I can when leaving a review, and as I said in my original review, Batch had always been great our prior visits (food and service). I completely understand with the World Cup going on, that not everything will go smoothly. Thank you Batch for getting in touch, we'll be back. ********** Original Review: Previous experiences had been awesome at Batch. But last night (because of the World Cup?) it was NOT pleasant. 1-Our reservation, which was confirmed via texts (with an s), email, phone calls (also with an s), couldn't be found and when it finally was, we still had to wait another 20 minutes for a table. People who were in line WITHOUT a reservation (I know because I had asked them before I went inside) were seated while we were still waiting for our table!!! (Because there were 3 of them and "we were just 2"). 2-The music even with the SuperBowl is always on a decent level, where you can have a conversation. Last night it was horribly loud. It's a bar, not a nightclub. 3- After (finally getting seated), no one came to take our order. After waiting another 10 minutes we left. I gave 3 stars for the food (although we didn't get the chance to order any), because usually it's quite good. We left Batch, went to a restaurant, where we had a great time, excellent service, and exquisite food. All the while able to watch the game and have a conversation. I am leaving this review as a constructive feedback, because Batch in recent months was an otherwise nice place to go to. My advice: Don't chew more than you can swallow. Last night was chaotic and unpleasant.

Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

When in doubt avoid restaurants in the south beach area they are overpriced & not worth the money. For an Italian experience theres much better options.
