    Amazing service, food was just ok. Steaks came out lukewarm. Amuse was very dry. Service was top notch!

    We spent our Valentines Day at Bacchus for their three-course dinner. It was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The food was nothing short of incredible. Equally impressive was the service!

    Great restaurant for Valentine’s Day. This was the third time we have dined at this restaurant and have had an excellent meal every time. The food, the service and the ambience is fantastic.

    My husband and I dined in Bacchus for the first time, for our Valentine’s Dinner Date 😊 Had really high expectations coming in, and we were so excited, especially when they had a special VDay Menu which was $125 per person (three courses). Appetizers and the amuse bouche were a little too saltyyy for my taste though — the Rush Creek Crepe & Lobster Bisque. The Charred Wagyu Bavette, and Lobster Tail Tagliatelle as our entrees were good though. 🙂 I expected “phenomenal” but it was just “good and okay.” We paid over $350 for the dinner, and my husband and I came to the conclusion on the drive home that it wasn’t really worth that much. Like it wasn’t worth it. I was a tad disappointed because I chose the restaurant, but hey we’re still happy because it’s Valentine’s Day. 😅 I would say the service was excellent. 👌🏻😊 Would we dine there again? Hmmmm….

    Amazing. I love this place. The.music takes me back to me being young. The food and the service is up and beyond. The desserts are out of this world. We always order a extra course serving and use the extra one as a tasting menu.

    Our food was very good. We ate the duck dumplings, apple salad, filet mignon, lamb, chocolate truffle and pecan desserts. Unfortunately, our service was poor. We had two servers who were nice but did not seem to communicate with one another, which made our service seem disorganized and oddly inattentive. I ordered a glass of wine when our meal came. One of our servers apologetically brought it to the table after we had finished our dessert. Prior to our dessert arriving, we were not offered coffee, which I would have ordered and seems to be a standard part of service. Additionally, there were two men, presumably managers who would often walk through the restaurant, helping to clear plates and asking other guests about their experience. These individuals walked past our table on several occasions, one never acknowledging us and even leaving our empty dessert plates in front of us for more than 10 minutes. For an establishment of reputation and high caliber, we were very disappointed in our experience. We won't be Bacchus.
