I'm so in love with Small Batch! I tried the "We're not in Kentucky Anymore, Toto" flight. The dark horse was my favorite with 2 drops of water, no ice. So smooth and yummy. The buffalo cauliflower bites are so delicious, I hope this stays on the menu year round. Poutine was also yummy, wonderful and cheesy. The Peruvian Princess cocktail was nice and lemony. read more

Went here on a date with my girlfriend and really enjoyed it. I'd been once before about 3 years ago and was pleasantly surprised by it. Vibes are great and I really enjoyed the smaller menu. Ordered the fried green beans as an appetizer and enjoyed every bite of them. The entrées were very good as well. 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

It was a rainy night, and the globe lights cast just the right glow for sampling splashes of Scotch and enjoying good conversation. It looked like the sort of place you might bump into Benedict Cumberbatch. I wasn't sure I'd really like a vegetarian place, but was pleasantly surprised by just how much I enjoyed the food. We started with some small plates and salads. The GREENS - smoked gouda, pretzel croutons, bourbon cherries, spiced walnuts, maple-blueberry vin - reminded me of salads I've enjoyed at Bailey's Range. The BRUSCHETTA was prepared gluten-free for Therese H., w/ almond-crusted brie, sage, and bourbon apple compote, and was as beautiful as it was tasty. Then, we moved on to larger plates. My CAVATELLI - basil pesto, sundried tomato, spinach, artichoke, red onion, capers, kalamata, feta, white wine, olive oil - was served in a large bowl, and was delicious! Therese H. had a special: RISOTTO - blue cheese, arugula, wild mushrooms - again, prepared gluten-free. We were with another couple, everyone had something different, and we all enjoyed everything very much. My scotch expert friend even taught me how to use the fancy eyedropper thing to put spring water in my glass to open up the aroma and flavors of the whiskey. Somehow, I missed that on my trip to Scotland. I think they just use small pitchers there. read more

Small Batch - That's the Bruschetta w/ Almond-crusted Brie, Sage, and Bourbon-apple Compote. - Vegetarian Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Food: A trendy, vegan dine-in restaurant in St. Louis?! What a shocking and surprisingly yummy find!!! I had vegan Brussels sprouts and Alfredo pasta shells and everything was delicious. Great wine list, too. We chose a California red and it was just delightful. Honestly, I was shocked by the quality and portion size. In the Bay Area, places like this (clean, well designed, hip) seem to sell pretentious but not always delicious food. Happy to report Small Batch does it right! Service: Friendly, helpful, fast Ambiance: Uniquely yuppie-friendly and appropriate for date night with omnivore friends. Overall, I strongly recommend trying Small Batch! It's a great place to introduce vegan food to others, or enjoy a delicious vegan meal in a relaxing setting. read more

In town to visit Wash U with my daughter. We were staying at U ion Station and looking for plant based options around us. This was only a five minute drive and we would have walked had of been about 15° warmer outside. What a great place the atmosphere was awesome and the lights were dim the decor was fantastic. It was Friday but still they had a few tables available and we got seated right away with no reservations. I asked the waitress about some of the items on the menu and she suggested a great cocktail for me. it was delicious. They put some effort into crafting it. I also asked her about a few items on the menu and she helped to pick out a great dish. we had the pasta Al Forno with a side of focaccia bread and.........Wow. Creamy pasta with smoked mushrooms and onions: bread and miso butter. I loved it all. Great place. If I lived closer we'd be regulars. read more

I really loved this vegetarian restaurant. The space is intimate but not crowded. The service was impeccable. We had the buffalo cauliflower app . It was so much like a buffalo chicken and we both loved it . However it was fried so a bit heavy I had the falafel and it put some falafel I've had in middle eastern restaurants to shame. It came with three pita bread so this dish is enough for two people . My SO had a simple salad which he also enjoyed. We had delicious food full of flavor and very fresh all for less than 40 dollars. I will definitely be back !! read more

We dined here a year ago and liked it. On our second and most recent visit we were very impressed. We shared a number of small plates and soup: Polenta cakes, Veggie potstickers, tomato explosion salad and a bowl of lentil soup. All were expertly prepared and simply fantastic. Only flaw I could find was the peanut sauce on the potstickers seemed overly salty. Atmosphere and service were excellent too. Bravo! We'll return soon. read more

Wow this place is amazing! Great energy and great staff! I was immediately greeted and had the most delightful server. Even though she was training she was very attentive and overall pleasant. I ordered a beer and the two of the taco special, which was lomo saltado and they was packed with flavor. Super savory and filling. read more

Small Batch - Vegetarian Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Disclaimer: I have only tried them for Sunday brunch so I cannot speak for other hours of the day. I ordered the waffles (local peach compote, Caramelized banana, and spiced walnuts) and the potato hash which was sweet potatoes, roasted red pepper, onion and a poached egg which I exchanged for a fried egg. The potato hash had a decent taste but there was not enough egg for each bite of potatoes. The portion size was appropriate for $10 but another egg was definitely needed to balance out the excessive amount of cubed potatoes. The waffles should not even be on the menu until they're worthy of being called such. It was one waffle (slightly smaller in diameter than Waffle House and around the same thinness). I was surprised that for $11 a Belgian waffle size wasn't offered. It was also crispy. There was no butter on it but the peach compote was very tasty. The banana was a cheap addition. The spiced walnuts were fine. Kind of like candy. So it didn't seem to match the meal. Pecans may have fared better for my taste buds. This dish needed something sweet n sticky drizzled across because it was very dry. If I were to come back for brunch - which I don't think I need to - I'd try the grilled cheese sandwich buuuuut I'd want to add a meat to it. (They do have maple sausage.) read more

My cocktail was excellent, as was the service. The food was very meh - menu description was nothing like what showed up. Needed salt, but none available. What the noodles lacked in savor, they made up for in heat! The table behind us was complaining about the exact same thing. So spicy we couldn't eat them - we loved the menu and the vibe, but it didn't stack up. Very disappointed. read more

Small Batch has been on my list for the last few years--and since the restaurant recently opened back up from a brief covid hiatus, I decided to give it a try. I was hoping to win over my non-vegetarian-very-meat-centric boyfriend and prove to him how delicious a plant based restaurant could be! Looks like we'll never be eating here again. I made reservations for 7pm. When we arrived, we were told to wait until our table was open--just a few minutes. Even though It didn't seem too crowded, we weren't seated until 7:45. When we finally ordered around 8pm, I was informed by the waiter that they were out of the one dish I was hoping to order. We waited for another half hour and became increasingly frustrated as we watched everyone in the restaurant--folks who had just sat down--be served drinks, hot entrees, and desserts. After we politely asked our server to check the status of our food, he avoid eye contact with us for the remainder of the night and never updated us on how much longer we'd have to wait. Then we got up from our table and asked the hostess to check--she said she'd stop by the kitchen on our behalf. We waited even longer and then decided we've had enough--it was 8:45, we had been waiting for two veggie entrees for nearly 2 hours. We began to walk out of the restaurant and were stopped by the hostess, "the chefs are just 'garnishing' your food," she assured us. "Are our entrees ready now?" we asked. We didn't receive a clear answer. 5 more minutes. 10 more minutes. We sat back down after we were promised 50% off our bill. We joked and genuinely believed we were being pranked--this experience was unreal. Was somebody actively TRYING to make our night so difficult? Then we speculated; we were definitely on the younger side of customers there, so maybe they didn't feel obligated to prioritize our orders/needs. Around 9pm, they served us our dishes. My food was incredibly hot--I immediately burnt my tongue after my first bite. My boyfriend didn't finish his under-seasoned entree, it totally lacked flavor and depth. Disappointing at best. We got free beignets with our check--but because my dish (the chef's special) was so rich, I couldn't stomach any more food. Just when we agreed our dining experience couldn't get any worse, our waiter returned our bill showing that we were charged triple the amount of our meal. Yep, he mixed up our bill with another table's. Wow. Finally, once the charges were straightened out, we left. As soon as I sat in the passenger seat, ready to drive home, I began to feel queasy. Cherry on top: I spent the rest of the night violently vomiting up my entrée. Do you think I could've saved the juices and asked for a refund? 2/10. read more

This was our third visit and overall it's pretty good based on food, drinks, service. I tried the Al Forno and it was a complete disappointment. Bland and watery and flavorless with a lot of pepper. The server was so kind and noticed I barely touched it; they brought me the mushroom tacos instead which were delicious. My husband also really enjoyed the feijoada which had a ton of flavor and great textures. I saw that someone else reviewed the al forno as delicious which makes me think I just had a poorly executed version of the dish. So wondering if the kitchen suffers from a little inconsistency? Menu feels a bit noodle-heavy also; maybe greater variety for the entrees would be nice. read more

This place just keeps getting better and better. What a perfect date spot! The food and drinks are all superb. I love being a vegan in STL.

Update and damn I'm moving it to 5 stars.One of the top three vegetarian restaurants ever. How can you go wrong with whiskey, amazing cocktails, wine and delicious and real food? Even better when you dine with your favorite people. I had the magu tofu spicy sexiness the salad with pickled grapes almonds and amazingness, pineapple Rangoon, ferments, a couple cocktails that we're amazing and paired perfectly with my meal and the s'mores vegan brownie lava cake. I don't know what you've done but oh my God please keep it up. I'm in love I love the vibe of this place. I went when it was raining and not too many people but I could see it getting loud. The drinks are pretty good, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to cocktails. We ordered the hummus and pickled eggs. The hummus left something to be desired, maybe some lemon juice? The pickled eggs were lackluster and overpriced. I LOVE pickled eggs too, so it was very disappointing to just leave halves on the plate. Seems like their small plates vary majorly on the portions, so I'd definitely take notice to what's around you or ask. Service was excellent, but then again there weren't many patrons during a major rain storm. Overall, I'd like to try other entrees, the drinks were ok. Underwhelming to say it perfectly. Sorry Baileys, I love everything else you got going, but work on this...please read more

If you are looking for vegan/vegetarian friendly options, this is a fantastic restaurant to try. Recently came in for "Whiskey Brunch" with friends. They have about 6 menu options- the waiter gave us several different suggestions on how to make the entrée vegan (ex: substitute tofu scramble for the egg). Wonderful way of accommodating their vegan guests. Was impressed that the Beignets on the menu are vegan! Essentially, they were just deep fried puff pasty strips and not your traditional ball of dough, but they were still lovely. Served with 3 sauces: berry compote, citrus curb, and chocolate sauce. Not overly dusted with powdered sugar- so you are able to keep your shirt clean ;) I ordered the Farm Hash. The serving size was generous. The bowl was loaded with sliced peppers and onions, salsiccia, small purple potatoes, and 2 over easy eggs. The bowl was lacking flavor- needed some type of sauce or more seasoning. Very dry, so left more to be desired. I also was able to try to Slinger. the biscuit was perfectly flaky, covered in a wonderfully seasoned gravy, eggs could be ordered any way, and then with some mushroom to top. Luckily my husband switched plates with me and I got to finish up the slider for my breakfast. For being advertised as a "Whiskey Brunch," there were no whiskey drinks on the brunch menu. Of course, the full bar menu is available if you ask- and then you will find many cocktails and whiskey flights. read more

Classy whiskey bar/restaurant that serves delicious vegetarian food. We shared rigatoni, mapo tofu and gnocchi which were great, both in presentation and taste. For whisky aficionados, this place is heaven. They allow you to select whisky flights to sample whisky from different regions of the world. They also have a very expansive menu for wines, beers and cocktails. They have a very limited food menu though, with only a handful of options. Even though the food is great, it could prove to be a little challenging for diners to pick a meal. read more

I came here for the first time with my friend and we shared the kibbeh, which was made with butternut squash and came with a delicious coconut tahini sauce. Then we split the coconut curry and cavatelli noodles, both which had really good sauces. Maybe a little high on the prices and everything is made with coconut based sauces it seemed but still well made vegan foods. read more

Diverse menu, delicious food, great bar and good vibe! Love this place!

Wonderful food! We had a mix of people in our group: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and omnivores. Everyone had options, and everything was tasty! Large portions, too, which made the price all the more worth it. We went in for dinner, and I got the rigatoni; very smoky, so a good choice for someone who typically expects meat in their meals. Cocktails were also great all around! That said, we arrived on an evening with no wait, and it seemed like they were completely unprepared to serve someone with a mobility impairment? The restaurant has two levels, with half of the seating upstairs. There is no elevator. I walked in with a friend who uses a mobility aid--just from looking at them, you could immediately tell that they would be unable to go upstairs. Nonetheless, the manager (?) paid no attention and told the wait staff to prepare a table upstairs. I had to stop her and ask where the elevator was. She said there wasn't one. I said, "Well, clearly we can't use a table upstairs? Can we have one of these down here?" Her immediate response? "That's not possible." Not "Hmm, the only table we have set up for X people is upstairs right now! One moment, I can see whether we can move some tables together." Not even "I'm sorry, that's not possible; they've all been reserved. Would you be okay with outdoor seating?" I had to quite literally say, "Well, one of us can't climb stairs, so...???" After a minute, she said, "I guess you could go sit outside?" They tried to walk us out the back door to the sidewalk, but there was also a stair there, so I had to literally say, "Again: we can't climb stairs, we'll need to go out the front door." The wait staff were great and moved together some tables for us, and we had an otherwise great dinner outside. However, we were there for a couple hours--and indeed, there continued to be plenty of room inside for a table of our size. They seemingly just decided it was easier for us to not be indoors. Best-case scenario, some other people had reserved the tables indoors and never showed up. Was the food good? Sure! Would I recommend this place to people? No. Would love to see the manager get some training on inclusive hospitality practices. You work in a two-story restaurant with no elevator! I would be absolutely shocked if this were the first time something like this has happened. There's no reason to make customers feel bad or frustrated because management and ownership failed to consider accessibility when designing the space. read more

Small Batch has a great atmosphere. It's a nice place for a date night. They have an extensive choice of whiskey and other drinks. It's a vegetarian/ vegan spot. They have really good food! The buffalo cauliflower was really delicious tonight! The breading was nice and crispy and the sauce was a good pairing to cool down the buffalo sauce. The poutine was ok. Last time it was better because it had a nice amount of gravy. The drink was good and strong too. The brownie is delicious too! Plus it's vegan! read more

Small Batch - Buffalo Cauliflower, poutine, & Tito's & Sprite - Vegetarian Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Visiting from Silicon Valley, so vegetarian is welcome. This Locust District shows promise as a happening place if critical mass is achieved. Small Batch is doing its part on that front. So crowded when we walked in about 8pm. Had to cram the 3 of us at the bar by swiping unused chairs from the tables of other diners. Thank you diners! I was there the night before the total eclipse and you can see I'm writing this in November. Details aren't clear, but I know I enjoyed my cocktail, my glass of wine, my food and the company of my wife and father. The place used to be an old drugstore and they've kept the right parts to give it some funky charm. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

St Louis show some love and visit this place soon! Our first time here. We were visiting from Indy and we're looking for vegetarian options. Their small fares and entrees tasted amazing. We ordered the cauliflower, papaya salad and appam from small fare. For main course we ordered Rigatoni and Khao sou. All of these had flavors of the original cuisine and then an amazing twist like pairing appam with miri. We will definitely be back when in town. Highly recommend for vegetarians and vegans. read more

The environment and atmosphere are exactly what you'd expect when hearing the name. The house cocktails were delicious along with the food. We went later in the evening, on a Monday night so there were the right amount of tables and seats open at the bar. The bartender and other staff were attentive and good conversationalists, something that sometimes can go underrated in today's fast paced food scene. I highly recommend the Blood and Sand cocktail, the smokiness added just the right touch and was able to mask some of the sweetness that can be overpowering by a cherry flavor in a drink. We also ordered a few sides and they came out quickly. The pickled assortment included apples (unique, but delicious), radishes, peppers, and mushrooms. The focaccia was wonderfully warm and the butter paired nicely. Overall we will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu for a meal sometime soon! read more

I was intrigued by the concept of this restaurant, especially the emphasis on whiskey, and decided to give it a shot. I went in early and sat at the bar. I started out with the buffalo cauliflower which came with a really delicious whipped creamy dip. The smaller pieces were the best and the large piece was not cooked throughout. I also got a nice whiskey cocktail recommended by the bartender that I really enjoyed. Next, I got the chef selection tacos. I have enjoyed making and trying nuts ground up in place of meat, but this had a very funky lingering taste. Almost like the sunflower seeds were old. The Gyoza came with four dumplings for $9. The sauce was very bland and if it were not for the fermented veggies it would've been a complete miss. Overall I thought the prices were too high-- contributing to "classy" aspirations but not necessarily the most satisfying dishes. read more

As a vegetarian, I was excited to try this place. The vibe was great and the menu was filled with awesome sounding dishes. My friend and I asked for one of almost every small plate, two entrees, and a couple signature cocktails each. Overall the food was a big disappointment. The seasoning and execution were just off on everything. Every dish was under salted and unnecessary spicy. The lack of salt throughout made tasting other flavors in the dishes difficult. I like spicy- I just want to also have other flavors in the profile. The drinks were strong and unique. I would recommend the carrot stick cocktail which is made with a house shrub. That was the highlight of the meal. Service was great. read more

My boyfriend and I dined at Small Batch Whiskey & Fare for the first time Tuesday night. We ordered the Kibbeh, Cauliflower, and the Etoufee. Dinner was delicious!

This is a great date night spot, and yet another little treasure I'm happy to have found in my city. read more

I wish I could go 3.5 but I'm going to round up. I've had two polar opposite experiences here which have left me torn about whether or not to return. Dining experience one had an incredible ziti special which I tried fruitlessly to replicate in my own home. Our whisky recommendations were perfect and paired nicely with the potsticker appetizer. Didn't miss meat or flavor in the slightest. Dining experience two was after a menu change and it felt like it. Cavatelli and the soup special were under cooked and under flavored. Managed to request the only three whiskeys not currently in stock. I'm thinking it was just an off night all around? I I will say service here is always great. The waitstaff know what their menu and seem to effortlessly make recommendations based on dietary restriction and taste preference. Not an easy task and certainly an asset to the team at Small Batch. read more

Small Batch - Pot stickers were wonderful - Vegetarian Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

I had an amazing dinner experience at Small Batch. First up, their 1920's throwbacks vibe easily reach level 100. Seriously though, perfect bar and decor. It's very unique. Don't let the 'vegetarian' menu scare you away. I'm a big fan of bacon, burgers, and everything in-between but had an amazing meal. +Pickled Eggs: First time having them and loved it. Our table got it as a starter. +Cocktails: Phenomenal. This is a craft cocktail lounge so indulge a little! +Carbonara Pasta: Delightful. It had plenty of flavor, was filling, and wasn't lathered in "heavy" butter and cheese +Dessert: You have to get the whiskey bread pudding, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream. It changed my life. I can't wait to come back here. It's a fairly good price-mark...not too spendy but a nice place for dinner. Can't wait to come back! read more

Loved it! Great food, excellent service. We were the on early side and had the entire inside to our selves and plenty of waitstaff attention (enough and enjoyable, not smothering).

The stroganoff is delicious but it's bolognese, not stroganoff. Adding a little sour cream doesn't change that.

We've been here three times. Each time has been fantastic. It feels higher end - it's classy - the decor is depression era throw back with photos from the 20's. It just feels a bit nicer than your standard going out for dinner location. Linen napkins, nice cutlery, and - you know - it's nice. But not stuffy at all - very cool and laid back. They have great drinks - and a selection of whiskey flights. The menu is all vegetarian and vegan or "vegetablecentric" as they have put it. Appetizers are interesting and tasty. This last time we went we had the hush puppies and fried green beans as our apps. I actually liked the green beans more than the puppies but the puppies were still really nice. Main course for me was the rigatoni - i love spicy and this was mildly spicy- the fresh basil was a welcome hit against the blend of the other flavors - definitely recommend. My wife had the Lion's Mane Cake (very similar to crab cakes) but made with Lions Mane mushroom. Also really good - recommend as well. Portions are perfectly sized - small and well presented but we never leave hungry. Dessert we had decaf espresso that tasted fully caffeinated -really good coffee - I had the grilled peaches with mascarpone and sorghum. My wife had the Chocolate coconut sorbet. For me the sorghum was a little light in flavor and the peaches were a bit sour - I would like to try it again with better peaches - i think if they had some really flavorful peaches it might have hit. The chocolate coconut sorbet had an interesting cherry sauce that made it feel a bit more exotic than just a bowl of sorbet. All in all another great experience and will def be back! Very friendly, kind and attentive staff as well. Oh and paying is merely a scan on your smart phone - pay directly through your phone and leave. Reservations are preferred. read more
