It's a fun place with a unique steak menu. Our service was a great balance of attentiveness, but not overly intrusive. The steak tartare was delicious and roasted mushrooms almost stole the whole show. I enjoyed the steak menu and the use of the whole cow. We tried a mix of 45 day age and 120 day age cuts. I love dry aged beef and was especially looking forward to the 120 day aged. Maybe I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to steak. Especially when you take the time to age the steak for 120 days, I think the beef should shine and be the focus. Unfortunately, the finishing butters overpowered the steaks. The first few bites were nice, then the butters really started to weigh down meal. It was hard to fully appreciate the flavors of the steak when it was drowned in so much finishing butter. read more

Incredible food, great experience - meats you'll not have anywhere else! Recommended for all occasions, but be prepared to drop some money.

Great steak place. Really good cut of meats. The compound butter are an excellent compliments.

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. read more

My review is based on the 5 course tasting menu. The food was overall fine but the pacing is very slow and the first two courses are very small leaving you hungry for the 80 mins. Course 1 came at 30 mins from ordering, Course 2 came at an hour, course 3 came at 1 hour 20, course 4 came at 1 hour 40, dessert at 2 hours. The first two courses are very small which would have been fine except that's the only food you get for over an hour. It was rough having to watch the people next to us, who came in 40 mins after, enjoying their steak while we waited hungry. The collard greens were also not good and wish there was a better side for the steak. I wish we just ordered a la carte like everyone else around us. read more

I was extremely excited to try Bateau after seeing their selection of cuts not offered at your typical steakhouse. First things first, the staff actively crossing selections off the board as you order gives the entire experience a thrill not felt at your average steakhouse. With the extensive selection and variety of butters, the actual steaks felt extremely lackluster for their value. We got the bone marrow and anchovy butters with the star steak and coulotte. The star steak's springy texture was interesting but the steak felt like it deserved another presentation to reach its true potential. The anchovy butter tasted bland and lacked flavor which was a surprise. The Coulotte was delicious with the marrow butter, which was surprisingly more flavorful than the anchovy butter. Regarding the appetizers, from what we ordered , liver mousse, tartare and French onion soup croquettes, none of the dishes really stood out. The tartare serving size was generous though the tartare had an over powering mustard seasoning that really eclipsed all other flavors in the dish. I've never had tartare that resembled a Big Mac flavor profile wise before. The tapioca crisps were crunchy and tasted great with the tartare. The beef liver mousse with tallow bread seemed like it would be amazing but the flavor of the mousse was strangely cheesy with far too much salt, even for a French dish. Don't get the croquettes. They were fried just a little too long at the wrong temperature and came out dry and hard. The beef was dry and the dipping sauce against just tasted like salty mustard. Disappointing even with a raw egg yolk you whip in the sauce before eating. The radishes had the flavor of a frozen burrito. Honestly would not recommend at all. read more

Beef, beef, beef. I have no beef with this place -- I think it's a-ok! I think it's super fun to see all of the steaks being crossed off the chalkboards as they are ordered. I went with 3 friends who absolutely love this place, but I think we have different tastes in how we like our beef accompiments. Among the great flavors were the amuse bouche, the buttery mashed potatoes, and one of the leaner steaks (cannot remember which as we tried 4 and I couldn't pronounce any). I thought the burger was too dry for my taste, but then again I don't like overly sweet caramelized onions and the garlic spread was too strong. My friends do though, and were happy to eat my share. Of the 4 steaks we tried, I liked one that was fatty (though I wish it was more marbled like a wagyu and not as many larger chunks of fat like a ribeye). My favorite was a cut closer to the back leg of the cow. Very tender, but a leaner cut. Desserts were a bit disappointing to me as I found the bread pudding and the ice cream to be strange flavors (almond and pine?). Wine was good, but would prefer larger glasses -- not a larger pour, just the size of the glass so it has more room to breathe. Overall worth the $150/pp if you like their butter, salt, and lots of garlic way of cooking. But not if you're like me and prefer to be able to add more varieties of sauces and less garlic/cream. read more

I came here to celebrate a birthday. The staff were welcoming, offered to take our coats upon arrival, and patiently explained the menu, which, if you've read other reviews, slowly diminishes before your eyes as the night wears on. You can pick a cut of meat from the chalkboard, and the staff will recommend new cuts if you're looking to experiment or had a late reservation and missed out on the filet mignon you usually order. On this visit, we each ordered the tasting menu and a 7 oz cut of steak. Other reviews recommend partaking in the tasting menu, which changes every so often, and ordering a small steak to share. I personally felt the tasting menu was too much food for one person. By the time I got to the main course, I was ready to call it quits. I ate two bites, and requested a to-go box. I think the issue is that so much of the menu is "raw." This didn't sit too well with my stomach, but if you have a stronger one and a roomier one at that, then the tasting menu offers an experience like no other. Every course is beef, but every course is also prepared differently from the last. Prepare to challenge your conception of what beef is and the notion, "Beef. Its what's for dinner." Because it is, and its not pot roast. Overall, I would recommend Bateau for its service, for its creative spin on beef for dinner, and for setting the bar by tacking on a service charge that seeks to unify the two halves of the house: the back and the front. Plus, the chocolate chip meringue cookie bites are such a sweet goodbye and come again. ;) read more

Renee Erickson is a Seattle celebrity chef with a world wide reputation. Her name is "money" in the restaurant world. When Bateau opened it was hotter than a July day in Austin. Reservations were almost impossible to get. The fanfare has died down and you can get into Bateau easily. However, do you want to? Bateau is Erickson's take on a steak joint. Her twist is the beef comes from her own ranch, and you order by cut of meat. Bateau piggy backs on America's butcher trend, which has spread from coast to coast. Unfortunately, the steaks were mediocre, expensive and tiny. Sides weren't special either. The best aspect of Bateau is the service; warm, friendly and helpful. The room is nice too, bright and modern shabby chic. Yet, Bateau's newness and panache have withered, and my guess is it will have a short shelf life. Erickson and her investors will come out okay, and its closing will not have much affect. read more

I loved the decor and feel of this restaurant. This place is a French style steakhouse were they age and cut the steaks in-house. There is even a window to view where they hang and age their meat. When we went they must have had roughly 25 different steak cuts with various sizes for each cut. Our server was authoritative in her knowledge of the various cuts and trying to match what we were looking for in a steak. She guided us into getting an underblade with anchovy butter and as 22oz chuck ribeye with bone marrow butter. We also got the mashed potatoes and mushrooms as sides as well as the rueben Mille Feuille and steak tartar for starters. The Mille feuille was an interesting take on a Reuben. The tartar was overt slaty from the overage of cornichons chopped in it and the tapioca crackers with caviar didn't h e.g. lo with the saltiness. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection (mid rare) and the sides were great. There did seem to be a lack of non-heavy sides and vegetables. It would have been nice to see just one or two lighter items to counterbalance all of the meat-centric items. read more

Beef, it's what's for dinner. On my first visit to Bateau, I was a bit overwhelmed with the steak choices. The available cuts are written on a chalkboard on the wall along with the price and the number of portions available. If there is no number behind the cut name, it means there is one portion available (so jump quickly if you want that one). Others will have (1 2) or (1 2 3) behind them. As portions are ordered, the servers cross off a number to indicate how many are left. Fortunately our server was quite well educated on the various cuts and could describe the options in detail. But wait, that chalk board is being modified and now the cut I wanted is gone. Sad panda. In this restaurant, you have to be quick. And early. If you truly want to have the full choice of steaks from which to chose, make the earliest reservation available. Those that prefer to dine in the 8 o'clock hour may find choices severely limited. That being said, I'm certain that all of the steaks are quite good based on the reactions of the other patrons. I ordered the Under Blade cut with bone marrow butter and was pleased with both the flavor and texture. Additionally, our table tried the buttered mashed potatoes and it took all of my willpower not to order three more portion. The potatoes were puréed to silken perfection and were so deliciously buttery. To go with our meals we ordered a couple of glasses of red wine. While the by-the-glass options were limited, the wines were fantastic and we both really enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to returning to Bateau to try additional steak cuts and of course more of those fabulous potatoes! read more

2nd time visiting and it will be my last. The ambiance is super vibey and the bar is beautiful, but the food is just okay. Our steaks were undercooked, the mashed potatoes were a potato purée and the broccoli was incinerated. The zucchini was the star of the show and if I could go back in time I'd order a big plate of squash and a cocktail and call it a day. For the money that you pay there are much better steakhouses in Seattle. read more

I have visited bateau before COVID and during and they have done an amazing job of bringing their options home with you! Bateau is a beef focused restaurant, you'll want to know that before you start looking at their menu. In person, I love their gentle, patient, helpful staff and clean quaint atmosphere. I love the sustainability of butchering and serving the whole animal and I've tried new cuts I wouldn't have known about because of it. We absolutely love their take home burger kit and bread pudding. Perfect for an at home date night. read more

What a fun time! My girlfriends and I sat at the bar and had an interesting time. We had great service, great cocktails, and yummy food. The food is more of an experience and a bit different to the normal steakhouse (like Mastros or Ruth's Chris) but still really great. We really enjoyed our time at the bar and met a cool couple sitting next to us. All the staff was great and shout out to our server John and the hostess/host (I can't remember your names but you two rocked). All in all, fun time. Thanks Bateau staff! read more

The service is better than flawless. It is stellar. It is spectacular. From the host to the server, and the presentation of the food with an explanation, the service here may be the best I've ever had at any restaurant anywhere. The interior is beautifully designed, and we all loved the window into the dry aging process. The chicory salad may have been the best salad I've ever had at any restaurant anywhere. The filet with marrow butter was DELICIOUS. Where it fell short for me was the cook on the ribeye and the NY strip. It was undercooked. And not just a little. It was closer to raw than to rare. Also, the preserved lemon butter was not nearly as good as the marrow butter. But I'd go back any day of the week, and just be a little more specific about how I want my steak cooked. read more

Wowza - fantastic meal. I went to Bateau with some friends and we all had the tasting menu. All 5 courses were excellent with standouts being the brisket, which was one of the later courses. For sides we got the mashed potatoes and the kale. Those mashed potatoes are out of this world - get them and thank me later. Excellent food, excellent service, and fantastic ambiance. read more

It wasn't enough for chef Renee Erickson to rise to the top of Seattle's shellfish scene...now she's tackling meat too? Of course she's not gonna just open a typical steakhouse. Bateau is designed to challenge your carnivorous palette by offering up parts of the cow that you're not used to eating. While you can you get the typical ribeye, flat iron, sirloin, etc. cuts, what makes this restaurant interesting and special is the ability to try lots of unusual cuts side by side and really learn about them from the super knowledgeable staff. My only issue is that there are so many great starters as well as all the meat cuts that it is hard to find room in my stomach for it all! If you can, try to come with a larger group (maybe 6 people) so you can taste a bit of everything. read more

Beautiful place. The ambience is great. The staff was ace, from the front door to the bar - everybody was helpful courteous and kind. We ate the prix fixe and it was too overpowering for me to return. I think that there were some solid dishes, but as an ensemble I found myself tapping out early and wanting some respite from the strong flavors. I won't go as far as to suggest anything to change, but I can't possibly make it through another round. Not to discourage anyone from this experience, I wanted to leave myself a mental note. Give it a try and hopefully you'll enjoy the meal. The drinks though. (^_^) read more

Finally made out to try Bateau and it met my steak dream expectations. Came here on a Saturday night, definitely try to reserve earlier since there will be more selection on the menu. The atmosphere is really pretty and the waiters are very helpful especially if you are ordering a la carte and have questions about the menu. For starters ordered the french onion croquettes. This was definitely something new, haven't had anything like it before. The outside was really crispy, the inside with melted cheese. Really savory and delicious dish. Sides had aligot and fried broccoli. The aligot was really thick and creamy and paired so well with the steak. The broccoli was not bad, I think the fry on it could have been crispier, and the size of the fried broccoli could be a little more consistent. There was one extremely large piece on the plate while the other ones were more like one or two biters. Steak ordered the rump tender and the dry-aged ranch steak. This was my first time having steak that was dry age for that long. It was a really interesting texture but really brought out the beefy flavors. The marrow butter on top was also very good. But the star of the night was definitely the rump tender. Hands down the most tender steak I have ever had. Really soft, with really amazing beef flavor. I still think about it after eating it. Thank you Bateau for such an amazing date night! read more

It looks like the glitter has slipped away a bit. we were able to get a table the night of, and it wasn't crowded. it was a smoking hot day, but still. we shared a ribeye and a teres major. cuts seem to be smaller and more affordable, than when I first came here. staff was super friendly and I've learned that I love the mashed potatoes and the bread pudding. the potatoes are pure butter and really creamy. the pudding is addictive and its good not to dive in, so it can soak in some of the goodness. i guess one of the only things i don't like about coming is the availability of something you really want to try. i'm still looking to land here when i can order some short ribs but i always seem to miss. maybe this winter? read more

Alright, Bateau, your amuse bouche and Bataeu salad with pickled vegetables and salami weren't my favorite starters, but the reuben mille feuille with dry beef belly started to warm on me. And then, when your 21-day dry aged steaks with bone marrow butter came out, I was in love. Decadent, rich, fresh, these steaks tasted like heaven. You might not believe in the organic, free range, grass-fed movement, but I will tell you that it tastes like a wonderful version of tasty beef heaven. And, then, just wait until dessert when that decadently crunchy, yet soft and buttery bread pudding comes out, you will drool. You'll thank me later. Just don't forget smile and thank them for the excellent service. read more

We did the tasting menu at Bateau and overall everything was great quality. I know Bateau is focused on full animal cooking, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the kidney and mushroom dish; a little too much funk for me. I was a bit disappointed by the fact there wasn't actually any steak on the tasting menu- as that is what they are known for. If we go again, I will definitely just be ordering off the a la carte to get one of those steaks! read more

I hate to give a 3-star review, because it suggests this place is bad - and it's not. It was actually overall a very enjoyable experience, with a fair share of highlights. However, the main point of going to Bateau at all - the steak - was the lowest point of the meal. For that reason, I'm giving 3 stars, and would recommend going only if a) spending ~$300 on a "pretty good" dinner is not a financial obstacle to you, or b) you go and just get the burger, frites, and a couple fun cocktails and/or the bread pudding, or c) your steak preferences weight seasoning, sauce and uniqueness of cuts available over a simply well-cooked, tender, juicy steak. First of all, the burger is fantastic and a must-get. It is very juicy, tender and flavorful, served with aioli and caramelized onions on a challah bun. Order a side of frites and try out their housemade "ketchup," which doesn't include any tomato. The frites are super crisp, salty and addictive. We also tried the plate of pickled things. The pickled things were all very interesting - I'd only recommend getting this if you really love salty, fermented things (aka, your heart goes pitter-patter for kimchi, sauerkraut, and the like). However, the pickled baby apples on this plate are really, really not good. Extremely sour and bitter, with a harsh rubbing alcohol-like finish. The two steaks we tried were the Denver and the Coulotte. Bateau prides itself on using really high quality meat and cooking the meat in a very particular way, which means that it might take upwards of 30-45 mins for your meat to come to the table. You are also given the option of having a finishing butter (bone marrow, lemon & brown butter, anchovy or nori) on top of your steak. I'm not sure what their exact cooking methodology is, but the result is that the meat has a very hard, very dark sear all around the outside. Both cuts therefore had this very chewy, rough exterior. Look - everyone loves a nice hard sear on a medium-rare or rare steak. But in this case, the interior did not come out very tender, and then the rough, chewy sear (plus very gristly, chewy fat on the Coulotte) made these steaks overall rather disappointing. We chatted with a cute, old couple from New York sitting next to us who had the same sentiment about their Chuckeye. If you want to try unusual cuts of meat, prepared with fun & interesting butters, Bateau delivers. But if you just want a great, juicy, and tender steak, you may end up disappointed. read more

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 7th year anniversary! Even on a Thursday night, they were pretty busy. We were seated quickly and had gotten a cute card from the hostess. The restaurant itself is cozy, cute and when they dim the lights, romantic. I loved the pattern of the plates and the lanterns in the main portion of the restaurant. The steaks that they have available are listed on this huge blackboard on the wall of the restaurant. Once people start ordering steaks, the waiters cross it off the board. If you happen to be sitting under the board, it can get a little annoying when they come by to cross off the number of steaks left. You also get an amuse-bouche after you order your food. For appetizers we ordered: Steak Tartare 5/5 - perfectly seasoned. I especially liked the dill in the dish, it gave it a refreshing taste. Reuben Mille Feuille 2/5 - this was my least favorite dish out of everything we ordered. I'm used to having sauerkraut in my reubens so I was expecting the purple cabbage to be pickled or somewhat sour, it was neither. It was bland and I wasn't a fan of the ultra thin rye cracker they sandwiched all the ingredients between. For mains: My husband ordered the Manhattan and I ordered the filet - both medium rare with the bone marrow butter. Both of our steaks 4/5. Steaks were both well seasoned but I thought mine was a little too rare in the center. Despite how rare it was, it still tasted good. For sides: Buttery Mashed Potatoes 3/5 - these had to be the most butterrrrrry mashed potatoes my husband or myself have every had. It was almost decadent in nature. Frites & Aioli - 5/5 the aioli was smackin! Dessert: We ordered the beignets, they were warm, fluffy and the chocolate sauce you dunk them in was amazing. My only grievance was that for 3 beignets they charged us $9. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

I was really looking forward to this place, but holy shit was I disappointed. We decided to try the tasting menu. It's really neat how Bateau is operating. If you don't know, basically they leave nothing to waste. Bateau is a steakhouse that will list a limit amount of cuts on their chalkboard and all other parts of the cow will be used creatively in their tasting menu. Sounds great right? It is, but the execution of the tasting menu was not. I found a lot of acidity in plates and a lack of balance throughout. Some tasted like normal meals so that left me extremely unimpressed. One of the dishes tasted just like a deconstructed pastrami sandwich and the last dish had sharp flavors that lingered on my tongue, leaving me wanting to cleanse my palate after every bite. I also had a 5 oz filet mignon and it was good, but not worth the cost. I've tried a few steakhouses around Seattle and unfortunately, this is one that quickly moved to the bottom of the rank read more

AMAZING! They butcher a whole cow from a local farm in-house each night and write all the different cuts up on a chalk board. Once ordered, it's crossed off and a delicious steak is on its way! They're all prepared French style, cooked medium rare unless specified otherwise and come with a butter topping in one of four flavors: bone marrow, lemon, seaweed, or anchovy. It's such a cool and unique steak experience! Wonderful cocktails and a very extensive wine list as well as super tasty sides and small plates. Everything is just done so well - I can't find a single thing to complain about! read more

Really quite good. Exceedingly expensive meat, but very well prepared and served. Tried the Manhattan Fillet and Frites.. Nicely trimmed and cooked (medium rare) and served at just the right temperature with a bone broth butter. The frites were excellent and the aioli was delicious. Fairly authentic (as per French cuisine) but a little spartan, as it was served naked on a plate. I think I would have preferred a wee bit of embellishment. Not at all sure why they listed three different sources of beef on the menu when they were unable to explain to me how they were different. On the plus side, our waitress was excellent in her knowledge of the meats and provided solid recommendations. On the down side, it took well over an hour to receive our steaks after having ordered them. For some reason, the waitress had to ask us if we were ready for our steaks (which is just very odd). I think the fact that we had finished our appetizer and bread a long while before would have been a sure sign. Restaurant was not at all busy when we arrived at 5:45. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. All the meats are local, prepped in-house and cured for certain periods of time. There are only a few cuts of each steak, so it's better to get there early! Our server (Dina) turned out to be from San Francisco and she took the time to learn what we love and what we don't enjoy (which isn't much). She helped us build an incredible dinner and it was the perfect amount. Ordered: - Ribeye 15oz + lemon & brown butter - Prime Rib 6oz + anchovy butter (zomg) - Prime Rib 5oz + bone-marrow butter (wtf good) - FRIES (do not miss these) - Smoked calamari - Carpaccio (amazing) + 4 drinks, dessert, tip = ~$325 Drinks were good, but they had some interesting takes on standard classics. The steaks are incredible. We recently went to a 'nice' steak house in SF and spent relatively the same and were super disappointed. Bateau reminded us how great a well prepared steak could be! Woot! read more

Good selection of beef although it sells out quick. Not a huge fan of the sauce on the steaks but the quality was great.

After seeing Bateau listed as one of the top restaurants in Seattle, we gave it a go on an early Fri eve. We set the complicated menu aside and ordered the "chef's tasting menu" @ &125/ea, w the beverage pairing, an additional $75/ea. We opted for paying an extraordinary amount for a dinner out, because by the review, we thought we could expect an extraordinary meal. If you count the extraordinary amount of salt added to every dish, I guess we got the winning ticket. With the exception of the 1st course, every single plate delivered after came doused with so much salt that each was inedible. Beyond the unforgivably over-salted courses, the steak course--supposedly the star of meal--consisting of cap and sirloin portions that were either all gristle (cap steak) or no flavor (sirloin). To end the meal, we were served a fromage ice cream (think cheesecake, no crust) and a so-called beignet (think doughnut hole), and for that course the beverage pairings started with a very bitter, undrinkable beverage, followed by a medicinal port (think Listerine). The only positive recommend I can offer here is that the front of the house staff does their best to make the experience a pleasant one--and they are good at what they do. Sadly, the hash they are left to sling does not in any way match the service they bring to your table. For $400, we were served an inedible meal, so--sorry to all on the wait staff--this place is off the list, permanently. It was a very expensive night out, and, next morning, my tongue is still trying to recover from the iron, metallic after-taste resulting from ingesting too much salt. read more

I gotta tell ya...the food overall was a solid "fine" for a really expensive tasting menu. We did the tasting menu which come to $25 per dish. The consommé was not my thing...very irony but people like it so okay. I the butter basted steak was under seasoned and the chuck steak was incredibly chewy. Like...really chewy. Not worth it. The cheese ice cream was yummy and the tallow cake with pickled rose petals were fun. Drinks were great though. Best thing we got was the mashed potatoes which were not on the tasting menu Overall, not super impressed. read more

This was an extraordinary meal of the type that you have maybe every year or two even when eating in so called "foodie" or "high-end" restaurants regularly. We ordered a bottle of wine, the mouse, 4 different steak options (2 safe, 1 middle, and 1 adventurous), and the kale gratin + mushrooms sides. Each dish was unique, flavorful, and truly delicious. Combined with world-class wait-staff service who helped shaped our meat and wine selection after extensive conversation, this was truly a remarkable meal. A rare restaurant indeed and one to savor and share. read more

holy cow, literally. this place is amazing, they have a chalkboard with their available cuts and as it's ordered they're also crossed off. I made my boyfriends birthday reservation at 5 for this reason, i wanted him to have first choice of it all! we ordered the french onion croquettes as the appetizer and then the Delmonico 36oz and aligot and shared it. Claire was our server and she was very knowledgeable and attentive, which made the overall experience very smooth. the only thing what would have made it better is if they carried basil haydens! read more

Amazing evening, amazing atmosphere, fantastic service, and for the price, good food. My girlfriend and I came here for our Valentine's Day and immediately upon entering this tastefully decorated space, we became immediately aware of what was on the menu: meat. The first sight you see when you enter Bateau is a giant chalkboard with two cows drawn on it and the entire selection of the evening's meats. Actually a pretty fantastic idea, if you ask me, especially considering that it's adjacent to a viewing area of the cows that you'll be able to eat that night (a lot cooler than I'm making it sound). The service and wine list were amazing. The space is pretty supportive of private conversations, but there's a beautiful buzz of talk echoing through the room as everyone eats and enjoys the food put on their tables. Definitely order an appetizer and a glass of wine; the steaks take 40 minutes to an hour to come to your table (which is told to you on your menu). The star of the entire night is the meat, undoubtedly. The sides, if I'm being totally honest, are not amazing. A little overpriced, and seem like the chef is trying to do too much when all I needed were some roasted veggies, and some well done fries. The starter was good, and unique, but again, I could've done without and I won't remember it. If you have a first date, a fifth date, or a fifth anniversary, Bateau is the place to go, and you're sure to have an amazing evening, at a price you'd expect. read more
