We went for my mom’s birthday. Everything was delicious. I had the Detroit style pizza - amazing! Two ravioli dishes were delish, the chopped salad was perfect and we ended with the tiramisu - done just right. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We were all very happy.

About the restaurant

Bata is a restaurant designed to celebrate the best our region has to offer. We cook over a live oak fire, on our custom fabricated hearth. Our menu changes daily. We mill AZ grown grain in house, daily. We focus on whole animal butchery, done in house. We have an extensive fermentation program. Our bar program largely focuses on wines that are organic, biodynamic, and produced with minimal intervention. The cocktail list highlights the best products of the season, with a carefully curated list of spirits from across the globe. We believe that our hospitality is just as important as the food and beverages we put on the table.

We do not encourage our restaurant for young children. We do not have any highchairs in house and ask that you please bring your own if it is required.

We do not offer any outdoor seating. Private dining, kitchen counter and large party seating available. Email hello@batatucson.com for inquiries.

About the restaurant

Dine- in, takeout and delivery
Wed- Sun 12:00PM-9:00PM

At the heart of the vibrant Tucson gastronomic scene is a quaint, family owned restaurant that has made a name for itself by combining the classical French education of Executive Chef Steven Schultz with the flavors of traditional southwest cuisine. Driven by the vision of casual fine dining that he shares with wife and Maudi Gourdin, the pair have managed to make The Wild Garlic Grill one of Tucson’s premiere destinations for food lovers from all walks of life. That all too familiar aroma of garlic will titillate your senses from the moment you step through the front door, followed instantly by the pageantry of Chef and his crew hard at work in the open kitchen where you can watch your meal as it is prepared. One can sense the warmth that emanates from their comradery and dedication and it doesn’t take long to notice that the front of house staff shares the same passion. It’s almost as if they are one big happy family…

It’s hard to find black cod on a menu, and here it was cooked perfectly: crispy skin and moist, delicately-cooked flesh. My husband loved the delicious pumpkin pasta in vodka sauce with sage. The sorbets he had for dessert were intensely flavorful and next time I’ll order one for myself.

Great place on 4th Ave - not to be missed. Took out of town guests & everyone was very impressed by all the restaurant had to offer. All loved the ambiance of Nex & Afterlife - the old brick walls & the woodwork of Afterlife had so much character. The food was very inventive & tasty. The carrot small plate was to die for & the burger was the best one guest had ever had. Another had the elote salad which she raved about. We did not have a cocktail although the. menu looked very interesting. Service was impeccable - very attentive. Connor, our waiter was the best. Raj the owner checked with us at the beginning & end of the meal giving us the philosophy behind the restaurant. Cush, the front of the house Mgr gave us a tour of Afterlife after dinner. Strongly recommend - you will not be disappointed.
