Batar — Restaurant in Indiana

Used to LOVE this place! Sadly, my last two experience weren’t as wonderful. We were greeted by the hostess, who informed us that they only took reservations. It was the Thursday that we visited and there were a lot of tables available. I explained I didn’t realize that they only took reservations and she said it was on the website. We googled and it just said reservations were recommended on busy times. She was very rude and the owner happened to come by and heard part of the conversation and came and told us that if we didn’t mind waiting 20 to 30 minutes, he would work as in. Since we traveled down there several miles , we waited and when it was time to be seated, the waitress was friendly, but we didn’t see much of her for service. The food was just OK. Gave it another chance several months later and did call and make reservations and was greeted by a not so great hostess seated, and the Server was friendly, but didn’t come to the table much for refills and to take our dessert orders. And the food was just so so. Use to absolutely love...

We were looking for a bakery and stumbled upon this place in between Seymour and North Vernon just off 50.

Talk about a grand place in such a small building. The feeling when you walk in is sheer elegance. The bakery was quaint and perfect!

The layout and decor brings you to a time of an old candy shop. Loved it!!

We decided to eat after learning it is also a restaurant with a delicious menu.

I had the Ruben, this sandwich is an absolute must try, the sauerkraut complemented the sandwich along with the 1000 island dressing. Mmm mmmm good!!

We also had the chicken pot pie, oh my another delicious treat.

We did order soda without ice and it came out warm, needed to get ice LOL

We also had their bacon spinach quiche, it was overwhelmed with bacon and spinach and not enough quiche. It had a good consistency, but this wasn’t one of our favorites.

For dessert we had the orange pineapple cake... this is also a must!! Delicious

You should take the time to visit this place, you can relax in the woods or just walk around...

Servers are pleasant, food excellent, beautiful outdoor scenery, cute and quaint interior. However, 4 visits (one with a group of 4 and three with much larger groups). Hostess very unprofessional, irritable, and rude to people. I am beginning to think she isn't aware of how she comes accross to people that it is just her nature. This is a small place and really not set up to accomodate a large crowd even thou the owner was aware weeks ahead that a large group was coming. Seniors were made to stand and stand although there was seating avaiable. It was almost as if this was Batars way to retaliate since the group did not rent their party room which was considerable more in cost than seniors could afford. I do want to reiterate that management knew way in advance that a large group was coming. Personally I'd go back with a few friends but never take a group there after today and I was planning to schedule a seniors trip of 14 in the fall....not...
