| - I went into this dining experience, really wanting to like Batifole. I love the idea of a neighbourhood french bistro in the middle of Chinatown east, serving up simple, tasty food. To it's credit, I loved my starter of housemade chicken liver pate and yes, as other reviewers have mentioned, the bread is good. I saw a beautiful steak come out of the kitchen that I WISH I had ordered instead of my fish - a bland, texture-less, white-sauced to within an inch of it's life slab with flabby, tasteless mushrooms. I want to believe that I went on a bad day, but I don't think I'll be taking another kick at this can when there are many other bistros in the city serving up consistently great french-inspired fare, at comparable prices.
