    The food has gotten so much better at Batifol since the opening, loved the Daily Catch at the beet salad, and the beef carpaccio. Wines btw were excellent!

    Fun experience with the buffet. Food is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are great, excellent service, amazing atmosphere. Cons: tiramisu was frozen and spoiled the impression at the end

    Overall quality of brunch food has declined. For the rotating specialty items, there used to be oysters, prawns, croissants, and macarons, but on the day we went, there was only smoked salmon, and the croissants were mini ones that seemed dry and less buttery. A decent but average brunch buffet experience.

    They could be kinder to customers, the manager doesn't have a nice face, they don't explain to customers how everything works and they should be more attentive

    I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. The service started off well, with a friendly and attentive staff. However, we ended up waiting 45 minutes for our food, while three tables that arrived after us were served first. I understand the restaurant was busy and may have been short-staffed, but keeping track of customers and wait times is crucial for a good dining experience. As for the food, it was just okay—nothing special to make up for the long wait. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t rush back. Hopefully, they improve their service and efficiency in the future

    One of my favorite brunch spots in the Boston area. Just wished the croissants were the regular ones, other than that outstanding.

    Ordered an entree off the menu instead of the buffet and waited 45 minutes for it. Too long

    Our table was very awkward, they put us in a corner with partitions away from the main restaurant. I did not expect that. The dishes were okay. The fries were similar to McDonalds fries and the service was very slow.
