    My wife and I choose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner. We enjoyed our dining experience very much. The food was outstanding and the service was very good. One small piece of advice to future diners would be to not sit near the window if you are prone to getting cold. Highest recommendation!

    We always love The Mad Batter, but since it was a Friday during Lent (no meat) we couldn’t go wrong! Nacho’s with no meat, salads, creamy basil pasta and hummus and pita made for a delicious meatless Friday!

    Good food and very happy crowd, but quite loud if you are looking for some private conversation.

    Even though we were seated in the rear dinning room, the noise level from the bar was distracting. Service was very good, but the food was mediocre and considering the relative high price, we left disappointed. Nice people, but we won't go back.
