I went here with my coworkers for lunch and got the Croque Monsieur which comes with an Oven roasted ham & cheese sandwich with bechamel and you can add a fried egg. It's a French bistro in Kendall square and it was on my list ever since I've tried other restaurants owned by the same group. I went to PRB Boulangerie to try the trending "crookie" and Marseille a famous brunch spot in South End!

Overall, Batifol is a very pleasant French cafe to have dinner. Really enjoyed the outside seating but the decor inside is quite nice also. I had the lamb shoulder which was tender but lacking in flavor. However, I enjoyed the polenta that came with the meat. Staff provided quick service and the manager made room for the many outside requests on a beautiful day. The bread at the beginning of the meal was very fresh.

It was pretty good overall. Service would fluctuate a bit between attentive and forgetting about us but we did appreciate being told that oyster happy hour was still on. The gin cocktail was nice but I feel like the pretty rose shaped ice cube both made it hard to consume and took away some actual drink cuz it was added so much weight. The roast chicken was delicious along with the mashed and garlicky spinach. Prices are ok, maybe a couple bucks too high. A hot baguette would have been nice but no one likes to give bread anymore. I'd prob come back but not rushing.

A cozy, French restaurant nestled outside of Kendall square. Very family friendly. We came for the 2nd all you can eat steak frites Sunday. It was packed, we arrived 15 minutes before our reservation but were seated right away. For the unlimited steak frites, you pick the temperature of your steak and it comes with fries and herby mayo sauce. Fries and herb mayo were delicious. The fries were abundant and were coming out hot from the kitchen. Perfectly salted and fried. The herb mayo/aioli thing was delicious, unfortunately it was not as free flowing as the fries, we only had some for our first round of steak and never saw it again. The first round of steak was not cooked to the temperature we requested and the cuts had a lot of fat/gristle. My husband and I asked for medium well, it was undercooked. Our 6 year old asked for well and it was burnt. The second round however was perfect, perfectly cooked, beautiful tender cuts. But, not a drop of the herb sauce. Dessert was phenomenal. The prices seemed a little steep, but the portion was huge, 3 people could easily share the crème brûlée, definitely worth the price. Order it, you won't be sorry! There were a few hiccups with service but I think this was due to being only the 2nd time they did this and the fact that it was a full house. Our server was lovely and so kind, attentive with our child. Overall, the experience was well worth the $37 per person (excluding dessert). I know once they work out the kinks, it will be phenomenal. I didn't get any pics because we were enjoying the ambiance and experience. Absolutely recommend.

Fine dining presentation, vibe, and price I'm pretty satisfied with all the dishes, drink, and overall experience. I want to come back during happy hour

Outstanding service and delicious food. Our server was so helpful with our dietary restrictions. She was funny and just lovely! I'll be back when I'm in Cambridge next.

A nice very nice place for a lunch meeting. We went on a Thursday and didn't have problems to reserve a table and when we arrived a few minutes early, were seated immediately. It was nice that the sound level made a conversation possible. A strong contrast to the want-to-be trendy places. French lunch has to start with Pernod. We both chose steak and frits. My friend medium and I medium rare. What we got was more on the well side, but still okay. Despite the meat, we opted for a bottle of muscadet. Very yummy. My desert, Basque cheesecake was delicious and required an espresso. Our cordial choice was Calvados, which made the rest of the day a little less productive. I definitely will return to assess the kitchen again.

We came here for HH oysters and they were nice and cold, delicious, and tasted super fresh. I believe the limit is 20 oysters pp. We also tried their drinks and my favorite was the passionfruit mimosa. Its $18 but you also get a side car of champagne! Will definitely come again next time I'm in boston. Staff was also super friendly even though our group ordered sooo many oysters
