    Food and service are always outstanding; however, the noise level makes conversation across the table a challenge.

    We thoroughly enjoyed Bata. The food was an eclectic and seasonal mix of farm to table innovation. The food was fresh, flavorful and imaginative. We chose our own mixture from the various courses. We stated with apps of the beef & pork bites , ( which were delicious and moist meatballs with a fantastic pumpkin miso sauce), and a luscious mushroon skewer. We moved on to the malawach, a wonderful Mediterranean flatbread with a labneh egg yolk and honey dip. It was special. We tore and dipped until it was gone! There was a smoked turnip dish that served as a really delicious warm, smoky salad course. Our entrees were pork loin and cod. Both proteins were well prepared while retaining just the right amount of moisture with complimentary vegetable accompaniments. We experienced various preparations of turnips in just about every dish. All were delicious. Dessert was the sorbet and chocolate cake. One was as light and refreshing as the other was rich and decadent. Our server, Roxana B. was delightful, personable and menu knowledgeable. She made great, helpful suggestions. The team was spot on with maintaining perfect timing on flow of courses and clearing and replacing plates and flatware. The restaurant had great ambience and we were pleased to have the chance to experience it on our visit to Tucson.
