Food was unfortunate. We had the tasting menu to get a feel for the restaurant. The steak was chewy and tough. The hot dog tartine tasted the pee and the barley risotto was bland and extremely granny.The service was not bad but not in alignment with a $500 dinner. Over all a bad experience and an uncomfortable dinner.We were unable to finish any of the dishes we tried.

A decent place for steak. We got the frites and aioli, french onion croquette, 8oz fillet, and their special dessert of plum sorbet.Frites and aioli are pretty standard like any other place, the french onion croquette was interesting and came with an egg yolk mustard type of dip. While tasty they were a little rich/heavy so for just two people I wouldn't recommend. The steak was good, they offer a few different types of butter to add ok after. Would highly recommend their preserved lemon butter! It added a much needed tartness to cut through all the savory and heavy food items.While you can tell this is a good and quality steak, besides the lemon there wasn't really anything that stood out to make it amazing. The chalkboard of the different meats was also kind of fun. It added some extra excitement and it felt like a lottery system where you wanted to get your order in before it got crossed out haha. The servers are also very knowledgeable on the different cuts, so if you aren't sure they can recommend some nice pieces. Overall a good place to check out, but wouldn't be a repeat on places to go.

Made a reservation for 2 at 5pm on a Saturday night at Bateau via OpenTable, quite convenient.Blackboard shows all the beef and options available from the cow which you can consider for dinner. A pretty amazing selection of parts indeed. Bottle wine list was a little bit underwhelming in terms of options, but wine by glass was decent enough, ordered a bottle of Cohors from France.Environment can get a bit loud, but a decent spot for dinner with friends, bar is also available on the right hand side when you walk into the restaurant. To the left is the dining room, along with the displayed dry age room connected to the kitchen in the back.Ordered French Onion Soup Croquettes, pretty good but pretty heavy for 2 people to have 5 of these croquettes, I think maybe 1 each may have been enough with the amount of dishes we ordered. Would order again though. Sauce came with raw egg yolk for mixing and richnessHad the Bateau Beef Tartare with popped tapioca chip. Beef Tartare was good chilled temperature and good portion, again, though could have been shared between 4 pax. Comes with a raw egg yolk for mixing and gluing purposes. Mixed grilled mushrooms with soft poached egg, superb dish, excellent balance of herbs and spices which made these mushrooms shine. 5/5ptsFunnily all these starters had egg involved, so for 2 diners, we already ate equivalent of 3 eggs/yolks. We cook steak pretty regularly at home, usually a new york strip or a rib eye, sometimes we pick up some hangar or flank steak. There are tons of options on the blackboard for you to choose from, but there is lots of different parts where if you didn't know what they were, you'll have a really hard time guessing, you can always ask your server and they'll be able to suggest some for you. We did just that and was suggested to take the bone in 21 day dry aged Delmonico, which came in at around 23oz for $161. Was a good suggestion but definitely was more marbled and rich. There are also lots of odds and ends which I'm sure would have been equally as tasty.Pretty good dinner, but may have ordered too much/many starters as was super full by the end. Good for sharing but harder to do with just 2 people. Menu looks so good so we wanted it all. Additionally, delmonico suggestion from server was a good one but we think could have had a smaller steak based on the amount of starters we had ordered, so perhaps a little more guidance from server wouldn't have hurt.Overall, good food, good wine, would recommend

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday recently after it had been on our list of restaurants we tried and it was an incredible experience. They also included a nice little birthday card at the table :)I highly recommend getting a reservation for earlier in the night as you will have way more options of cuts to choose from. I really enjoy the idea that each time you go here you can try something different as the menu changes daily. If you have no idea what kind of cut you want the servers are very knowledgeable and will give you recommendations based off of what you like. I really enjoyed the cuts that we got and thought the bone marrow butter was the better one we tried.We also enjoyed the steak tartare and the fries. The steak tartare had fish roe and kind of smokiness to it that made it more unique than other tartares we have had. The fries were perfectly crispy and a perfect side for the steak. The little garlic cream puff pastry that they gave to start the meal was a pleasant surprise and very flavorful.Overall I highly recommend this place for any occasion! I will definitely be coming back to try other cuts of steak

This was a great experience for my birthday. This was maybe one of the most unique food experiences I have had to date. The food was very different. I've never seen so many steak cut options and unique little bites. I think more than anything it was the flavors. Very different. My favorite thing was the beef fat, olive oil donuts. Wow!!! The steak cuts were got were good. I have had better tartar and steak, but this was a great experience.

We only had one full day in Seattle after our cruise and tried to jam pack it as much as we could to make sure we didn't miss out. So after much research we opted to have dinner at Bateau -- and we were NOT disappointed. Wow what a meal. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and looks like a little chateau. Dim lighting, not too loud, perfect for celebrations or date night. The service from the get go was impeccable. They explained to us the restaurants concept and how the chalkboard is used to pick out your cut of steak. She was very kind and knew the chalkboard could be overwhelming and we could just tell her what types of meat we usually like and she can go about recommending. Which is exactly what we did. My husband shared that he liked rib eyes (which were already sold out for the day) and I, myself, wasn't too hungry, so she recommended we shared 12oz Flat Iron Tip. We chose a couple of appetizers that were both beyond great and unlike anything we've had before. The steak itself though was the star. We topped it with a bone marrow butter, which I was skeptical about, but made the steak all that more delicious! It was more herbs and added a great touch to the fatty steak. For sides we got mashed potatoes and the fries since my husband and I seemed to be craving different versions of potatoes haha. The mashed potatoes were my personal favorite, in the traditional French way - super creamy. At the end of our meal my husband said it was easily top 3 meals he's ever had. This is going to the top of our recommendations when talking about Seattle. I almost want to go back to visit to go have another meal already. Amazing restaurant and concept.

I went 4/16/24 and found a medical band aid in the bread pudding. It was terrible and had to do blood tests the next day just to be safe. Unfortunately, the restaurant couldn't pinpoint the person responsible. The staff took my number and let me leave without paying. They followed up with me next day asking how I was doing and that they contacted the health department. I'm leaving this review because this should never happen. I hope the restaurant finds a way to ensure that.

This is a bummer bc I've been a fan of Bateau and have been several times over the last couple of years. I let it slide a couple of times when the steak was crazy rare (ordered medium rare)- on one of those occasions, the waitress was clearly ready to end her shift and hand us off and could not care less about our $400+ meal not being up to par (though I suppose it was on us for not flat out asking her to take the food back.This Tuesday was the last straw. See "bread pudding" review below- I took that pic after digging into the pudding but my buddy unfortunately was the one that chewed on actual human bandaid. I thought the manager showed some level of integrity and empathy in how she handled it on the spot and comped us while apologizing profusely. She had her suspicions as to who it was prepping the food with a bandaid on, but as I understand it, that wasn't the story from the person that called to follow up and apologize. It's just an unfortunate situation but I hope they'll learn and improve from this.
