Let me be clear, this restaurant is not for everyone. I am a native of Richmond and coming "home" does not always feel like home. But this restaurant felt like for a few hours nothing else mattered. Like Auntie was in the kitchen making my plate special and I laughed and talked over glassES of wine. It felt like a sanctuary away from all of the fast paced franchises and finally some real cooking made with love. It felt like a staff that cared about your life and investment in the community. It was a place built around love. Love is rarely fast and easy, but over a slow simmer it will always bring beauty. So as I said, it's not for everyone, but if you have some time to let love in.. you might as well enjoy some wine and good food in the process.

Tonight was my first visit to Bateau but it will not be my last. The food was sublime. The service attentive & courteous. The ambience relaxing & the live music performance relaxing. I enjoyed every minute I spent at the restaurant and cannot wait to return.

Wonderful atmosphere, food is great. Definitely good for a date night

The jazz was great. The service was excruciatingly slow crowned off by my eating soup with a fork because we had no spoon and the waiter was nowhere in sight. Still we will go back for the music

Truly a nice dining experience. Food was appetizing and the drinks were nice.

Lovely, well-appointed spot on the canal. Excellent food, attentive and professional service. We shall return!

Bateau’s atmosphere and location is nothing less than on point, which makes it even more frustrating that my dining experience there has failed to live up to its full potential.My friend and I went this evening to relax and listen to jazz during happy hour. The waiter was nice, and maybe she was new (?) but she had absolutely no idea what wine or other drinks were available for happy hour specials. She walked away to check and came back vaguely mentioning “a chardonnay?” No other specifics or wines mentioned. Once we finally ordered, it took another 15 or so min just to receive our wine. She completely forgot the coffee my friend ordered, and we had to remind her. There were maybe 2 other tables outside, and no one inside, so it wasn’t busy. At that point; we were a little annoyed and elected not to order food, since we assumed it would also take forever.We supposedly ordered happy hour wine, but upon walking inside to ring up our checks, we were charged full price. At that point; we just wanted to get out of there, and I didn’t have the energy to question it.Again; I really want to like Bateau, and I can’t speak for the quality of the food, but the service is so subpar that I don’t think I’ll be back after tonight.

Absolutely the slowest service food is good but by time you get it you don’t want it

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here. The jazz music was a great addition to the ambiance. The owner was very pleasant and attentive. Will certainly be coming back.
