Friendly waitress, who said yes...when I asked if the coffee was good? Being a certified coffee snob, I gave her the side eye and told her how I take it. Minutes later she appeared with a piping hot take out cup. My nose and taste buds were very happy as I savored every sip! I ordered a simple comfort food breakfast. Eggs over easy, grits and whole wheat toast. I had a side order of lettuce and tomatoes because, well I love lettuce and tomato! My food was fresh and hot! I enjoyed my meal while listening to lite songs from the radio. Hearing the staff greet regulars and new comers like me, with a smile made me feel all fuzzy inside. I plan to return to try the pancakes, waffles and other breakfast dishes. All in all, this is a great neighborhood spot!

The place was set up beautifully and the private room was cozy. They selected a set menu which comprised of a choice of appetizer, a salad, a main course along with desserts, wow! The Mediterranean salad that I had, tasted fresh and it was nicely presented. The slider appetizer was a bit dry for my taste. However the lobster cream pasta main dish more than made up for it. The tiramisu finale was very nice. So all in all I think that the execution of the meal combined with an attentive and friendly staff makes it a success. I would definitely return here when visiting Garden City!

I recently dined at Small Batch (Tom Colicchio's restaurant), located inside the Roosevelt Field…read moreMall in Garden City. The restaurant has a beautiful, bright, modern atmosphere that feels much more upscale than its surroundings. Based on other reviews, the standout dishes seemed to be the grilled Spanish octopus and the SB Smash Burger, so I ordered both. Unfortunately, the execution fell short in several areas. The East Coast oysters arrived with mignonette but without horseradish or oyster forks--small details, but noticeable oversights. The oysters, octopus, and burger were all tasty, but the presentation of octopus and burger was surprisingly sloppy, as though little attention had been paid when the dishes left the kitchen. The bar also was understaffed. A single bartender was serving both the bar and the entire dining room, which led to waits for drinks. My bartender was friendly, attentive, and worked hard, but one person simply wasn't enough. I finished with the Key Lime Custard, which had what appeared to be a layer of shredded cereal on the bottom. I wasn't sure what it was. The dessert itself was enjoyable, though I think a base of toasted sliced almonds with a few fried blueberries on top of it would have added better texture and complemented the flavors more effectively. One nice perk is the validated valet parking, for a reduced fee, which makes arriving and leaving especially convenient given the mall location. The whiskey selection could also be improved by adding a few more interesting, off-the-beaten-path single malts or blends. Overall, the kitchen shows promise! And perhaps I came on an off night. With better attention to presentation, appropriate bar staffing, and a more adventurous choice of spirits, Small Batch could deliver an experience that better matches its reputation.

I love that they have tasty treats on display, but also have a full menu for lunch and dinner. It's a bit overpriced, but you get what you pay for. My only suggestion would be to offer more healthy options ie salads, gluten free wraps and offer gluten free bread that's not covered in seeds (like thousands of seeds LOL). The only downside is when you order via the apps (grubhub Uber eats) there seems to be a major disconnect. My order is wrong 75% of the time. And sometimes takes double the time that's quoted.

We were seated on the sofa side along the wall, which in hindsight may have been mistake number one. Last time near the mall entrance, the experience was noticeably better. This time, service felt like it was on a timer I didn't agree to. Food arrived before utensils. Midway through the main course, the bill was already dropped off -- with a cheerful "no rush," which somehow still felt like a countdown. Before we could finish the pizza, dessert was already being pushed, and despite asking to pause, it was basically ordered for us anyway. Good food, but you eat at the pace of the waiter, not your own. Wouldn't rush back for lunch.

Delicious bagels and many other options of appetizing that is fresh and delicious as the name would suggest. If anything, a small nitpick is that sometimes they don't alert you to little things like the fact that they very nicely will give you a drink soda or a bottle of water if you order a sandwich; of course it's no great charity because the sandwiches are today's prices. But there's other times if you bring a drink to the register that they might not mention the inclusivity of a drink in your order, which isn't exactly a great policy.

On my most recent visit, I ordered a turkey bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese on an egg bagel with salt and pepper. The food was fresh, but it lacked seasoning I could barely taste the salt and pepper. I also ordered a cream cheese bagel, which was fresh as well, but nothing out of the ordinary. The location is convenient since it's in a strip mall with plenty of other businesses nearby, and breakfast is served all day, which is a plus. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a typical neighborhood bagel shop or deli. My biggest complaint is the pricing. Paying around $10 for a bacon, egg, and cheese-style sandwich seems excessive. That said, I've been back more than once, so it clearly wasn't a dealbreaker. Overall, the food is fresh and decent, but the prices are hard to overlook.
