Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.

    The last memories my husband and I had of this restaurant was amazing! So when our daughter decided she wanted to go out for her 16th birthday, we knew battalion would be the perfect place. Everything started amazing. Wacey was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, the food and ambience did not measure up. The side of broccoli and the trout were inedible due to over salting. The meatballs were good but slightly overcooked and hard. The chicken Parm was had by two people, and they both thought it was delicious. The lamb Was terribly overcooked and very dry. Nobody liked three different pasta dishes we selected which was the raviolis the cavateli were blah, but the fettuccine was liked by two out of six people.  the mock tails were like plain ginger beer for six dollars apiece. Everything was so far off the Mark and on such a milestone birthday that we will likely not return.

    We brought friends here who were from out of town and they loved it. We come here quite often and always enjoy our meal.

    Service is knowledgeable and attentive. Our steak was cooked to order and seasoned well. The sides, salads and starters were outstanding . Nice wine list.

    Never disappoints! From the time you walk in till the moment you roll yourself out, Batallion delivers on all fronts- ambience, service, food, drinks, and price point. Don’t pass up the bread service!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Battalion! We had a fantastic meal and excellent service! The delicious (and strong!) drinks are our first go to and then we started the food off with bread service with whipped ricotta and honey- SO good! And we always get the beef tartare and the spinach dumplings- both super delicious 🤤 We decided to try the lasagna this time- it was prob the best I have ever had- super creamy but with these crispy layers that were so delicious- just try it !! We got one of our fav mains the pork- super tasty as always (we are also big fans of the eggplant and chicken parm) and the other big standout of the evening were the beets- roasted and served with a super savory cream - hands down the table favorite - really just SO GOOD! We were so full we didn’t get our usual fav dessert - the smores panna cotta- it’s amazing! We will def be back soon - thanks for a really wonderful meal and evening!

    My wife and I had a fantastic date night at Battalion. The aesthetic was fabulous and the perfect fit for my spouse, who loves firehouses. The view was beautiful. The host was lovely. There were terrific options for delicious food and drinks. And our waitress, Brittney, was excellent at taking care of us. We will definitely return for another date!
