I recently dined at Small Batch (Tom Colicchio's restaurant), located inside the Roosevelt Field…read moreMall in Garden City. The restaurant has a beautiful, bright, modern atmosphere that feels much more upscale than its surroundings. Based on other reviews, the standout dishes seemed to be the grilled Spanish octopus and the SB Smash Burger, so I ordered both. Unfortunately, the execution fell short in several areas. The East Coast oysters arrived with mignonette but without horseradish or oyster forks--small details, but noticeable oversights. The oysters, octopus, and burger were all tasty, but the presentation of octopus and burger was surprisingly sloppy, as though little attention had been paid when the dishes left the kitchen. The bar also was understaffed. A single bartender was serving both the bar and the entire dining room, which led to waits for drinks. My bartender was friendly, attentive, and worked hard, but one person simply wasn't enough. I finished with the Key Lime Custard, which had what appeared to be a layer of shredded cereal on the bottom. I wasn't sure what it was. The dessert itself was enjoyable, though I think a base of toasted sliced almonds with a few fried blueberries on top of it would have added better texture and complemented the flavors more effectively. One nice perk is the validated valet parking, for a reduced fee, which makes arriving and leaving especially convenient given the mall location. The whiskey selection could also be improved by adding a few more interesting, off-the-beaten-path single malts or blends. Overall, the kitchen shows promise! And perhaps I came on an off night. With better attention to presentation, appropriate bar staffing, and a more adventurous choice of spirits, Small Batch could deliver an experience that better matches its reputation.

We usually get the same thing each time, but it's become a comfort meal there, so why break tradition . Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth the splurge to treat yourself to a special night out!

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere that feels a little upscale but still comfortable. The flight and filet special was a good value at $52 and included a wine flight, filet and a mini indulgence dessert. The wine flight was fun to try and a nice way to sample different options with dinner. The filet was tender, flavorful and cooked as requested. My partner tried the filet and lobster tail. The lobster tail was tender and paired well with the steak. For dessert, I selected the peanut butter chocolate mini indulgence, which was the perfect size to end the meal without feeling too heavy. Service was attentive and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but the $52 special felt like a good deal for what was included. I would return to try other menu items in the future.

The tuna tartar salad is good along with the flatbread. My favorite dish is the shrimp and grits. Service is OK. Place is always busy so I understand.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly and attentive service. There was no wait time, which made the evening even more enjoyable and stress free for such a large group. The food was fresh, delicious, and served in the perfect portions. Everything was so good that we left nothing behind. I had the flan, and it was honestly the best flan I have ever had. My niece ordered the chocolate cake, and it was absolutely perfect. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had for a special occasion. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or any important moment, this restaurant makes the experience feel memorable and special. We have been here before for my birthday dinner. We cannot wait to return.

I'm so happy to see how much they've expanded and improved over the years. The owner, Manny, is incredibly friendly and often comes out to greet guests when he's there, which really adds to the warm, family-oriented atmosphere. The food is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the all-you-can-eat rodizio and the branzino, but honestly everything there is delicious. And don't even get me started on the desserts--Heavenly Whites... OMG!! Simply incredible.

They have a cold food area where you can grab whatever you want. We got there at 11:30am but the hot food like rice, beans and potatoes weren't ready until 12pm which was fine because it was worth the wait! Food was so flavorful, the meats just kept coming and it kept us full quick! They come to your table with tons of different meats for you to try. Staff were very friendly and efficient. My only critic was that when they were slicing the meat for us, some of the juices did spill onto the table and on my pants. I know it was an accident but it did leave the table alittle messy. Otherwise this place was amazing, very high end, clean and professional!

A special shoutout to Jenny Melo, affectionately known as "Jenny from Around the Corner." She was warm, welcoming, funny, and made our celebration even more memorable. Our servers, Michelle and Danny, were attentive and efficient, always making sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding. We especially loved the spicy steak, pork belly with honey, sweet plantains, polenta, and the warm pão de queijo. The gauchos were friendly and made sure we never had to wait for our favorite selections. What impressed me most was that everyone in our party of seven found something they loved, from adults and teens to a first-time 11-year-old guest. The complimentary birthday dessert was a thoughtful touch that made the birthday boy feel extra special. My only complaint is that I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could have gone back for seconds! We were a party of 7 and had a 10-star experience. Thank you to Jenny, Michelle, Danny, and the entire team for helping make this birthday celebration so memorable.

Our waiter was great when we first sat down to get drinks out and to order. However, during dinner service, we had not seen him again. I think we had to flag other staff just to grab him at some point as we needed utensils and refills on water. We also wanted to order more drinks but it just took a long time to get his attention. We were a party of eight and was here to celebrate my birthday. Appetizers we tried: 1) thick cut candied bacon (it was indeed thick, and we did not have the kimchi on the side it was paired with), 2) Double cream Burrata with fig (it was okay, not memorable), 3) Wagyu Meatballs (really disappointing, temperature cook was uneven. One side was hard/tough like burnt and the other side was softer). 4) two orders of lobster bisque (a tad salty, had some lobster pieces, I would've preferred creamier). From finishing the appetizers, we had to wait an entire 55 minutes for our entrees to come out. We were told any moment, two times, but it was not. It took way too long. And at this point, we needed water refills and wanted to order wine. It was very chaotic and we could not find our waiter. Onto to dinner entrees: 1) porterhouse for two (heavily seasoned and again cooked at an inconsistent temperature). A few pieces were almost raw near the bone. 2) two orders of King Prime Rib, most of it was medium rare. But again, as we got closer to the inside and near the fatty sections, it was too rare/raw even. 3) Queen Prime Rib was ok. More medium than medium rare. 4) Filet mignon, which is supposed to be the most tender, it was not. It was over cooked and the meat was dry and grainy. Very disappointed. I do not recommend this at all. Onto desserts: we opted for some cappuccino and just two desserts: two affogato's and an almond cake with citrus. It was fine, but not memorable. We spent almost $900 including tip but it was literally the most disappointing steakhouse experience I've had ever. I do not recommend. It's fine for a night out for drinks but not for the steak.
