Overall a good dinner at Bataeu, we’ve been dying to check it out the last few months. I was expecting a little more upscale due to the menu prices. Its pretty small inside and the tables were very close together. We were kind of squashed up against the wall and felt like we were part of the table next doors convo. I dressed up but it’s not necessary, people were dressed very casual. We had a few stellar dishes like steak tartare, mushrooms with egg was phenomenal! The burger was good but I was expecting a bit more for the price tag. The homemade donut was great but the filling was a bit off to me. They do have some great steak options on the menu, they dry age 45 days and have the cuts hanging in window.

Bateau is just a completely different kind of steakhouse. You walk in and there’s this giant chalkboard with all of the cuts they are featuring for the evening. When they’re gone – they’re gone. There’s a girl that comes around with a long stick and a big piece of chalk and just cross them out, and then you’re out of luck. Guys… it was like the Hunger Games!! As we contemplated our order, anxious for our server to arrive before chalk girl came back and took away our choices! It was both nerve wracking and exhilarating. But the food was absolutely spectacular and the service spot on, despite a very, very busy Saturday night. If you find yourself in Seattle and can snag a reservation, GO!

Had the chef’s tasting menu for birthday celebration. Definitely a great experience to savor the food. Each dish is unique in flavor. Allow yourself about 2 hours or more to enjoy the whole dining experience.

Oh my… haven’t had steak this good in a loooooong time. Everything tasted delicious, the room was pretty small and not too loud which was a perfect setting to have a nice dinner. All the waitresses were very nice and knowledgeable, and recommended us the perfect piece of meat. Waiting time was very reasonable, and their cocktails are good too!

Very pleasant experience. Staff listens to what type of steak you like and provide their best recommendations. All the flavors blended together, and the spot is very romantic.

My husband and I had a fantastic belated Valentine’s here at Bateau this past Monday. The atmosphere was very welcoming, as well as the staff, and of course the food was AMAZING, one of the best meals we’ve enjoyed in a long time. We especially loved the carpaccio and the fromage ice cream from the chefs tasting menu, which pairs perfectly with the port. Special shout out to our server Ash and another employee Taylor who made out night feel extra special!

Fantastic food and even better service? I took my brother here for his birthday, and they gave us a little card that said happy birthday. The cuts of steak that are available change everyday. I found the list of available steaks a little overwhelming. I asked my waiter for an 8 ounce fatty steak and she picked out the perfect steak for me. We also got the croquettes, the beef fat brioche, and the aligot. Absolutely loved each of those dishes especially the aligot! Will definitely go back.

Best steak we ever had in our life. Such a cute place and the service was amazing. They have so many different steaks to offer and is nice that they cut the meat as you order. We went to celebrate our engagement and was a home run.

Make sure to get there early and order soon. Steaks are auctioned off pretty quick. They are cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The fries are a must. Overall, it was a great place for a steak. Location is its only major setback. As well as limited or very hard to find parking.

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and it did not disappoint! Right away your eyes go to the chalkboard menu which is equivalent to a “Steak Stock Market” where different cuts of beef are offered until they run out. Such a unique experience and I opted for the NY Strip which did not disappoint. Top that off with an amazing bottle of French wine and you have one of the best wine/steak experiences in Seattle. HIGHLY recommend for an intimate and immersive fine dining experience!
