   Quaint hidden gem in Lansing. Food was exceptional. Atmosphere was inviting and cozy. Limited menu, but excellent choices. Fantastic cocktails and Alex was a great server/bartender.

   The food was bland. My fillet mignon was cooked right but lacked any unique or interesting flavors. For the price I would not expect to need A1 sauce on my steak, but alas I did. The service was slow, to be fair, it was Valentine's day weekend. The bread that came out before our meal didn't taste fresh. This experience would have been acceptable at an Applebee's or some fast food restaurant, but this was a huge disappointment for an expensive meal. We enjoyed the $10 cold pizza we bought for our babysitter than the $150 meal for 2 at this restaurant.

   Things started out slow and you could tell the kitchen wasn’t as prepared as the should have been, but the food was great.

   We were there for a good 10-15 minutes until our server came to us. It was the bartender and he was running around and making sure that everyone was ok and making drinks. I asked was he the server and bartender and he said yes. There were quite a few people in there and he was already working hard so I just gave him a tip and told him to keep working hard and left. We did not order anything. I recognized that he had a bar full of people along with 3 tables. He was amazing and his customer service was top notch.

   The service here was amazing; they were very attentive to our table and made sure that we were doing alright. The food tasted delicious and was prepared very professionally. I came here to celebrate my anniversary, and I will continue to do so because of this experience!

   Batter Up Bistro is one of my favorite spots in Lansing! The entire staff is always incredibly friendly, which I think comes from their wonderful owner. She clearly takes pride in what she does and genuinely loves hosting, creating a warm and welcoming culture. I celebrated my birthday here, and the staff went above and beyond by giving me a card and cake—it was such a thoughtful touch. The food is consistently delicious, with excellent gluten-free and vegan options. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for great food and an amazing atmosphere!
