Food was way overpriced and portions were small. Only 7-8 items on the menu and hard to understand.
We have been frequent patrons of the Bartoltta restaurants. This experience was very unpleasant. Our service started out adequate and ended pathetic. I had to ask about specials, cocktail menu and to have entree dishes to be cleared. Food was good mostly. The shrimp appetizer would have been lovely, except the shrimp was not fresh. We waited an exceptional amount of time for dessert or coffee to be offered. By then we were tired of the whole thing😐
The cuisine is superb, but the portions are small and the prices are high. We went because we had a gift certificate.
Air conditioning was a bit overpowering.
For this time, I was disappointed with Bacchus. I had enjoyed tasting menu and matching wines from previous visits. However, they did not serve it tonight, and there were not single notice from the website or OpenTable. The mussel and steak were sub average... having red wine in white wine glass was also a surprise..
We've been here many times and the food didn't wow me at our most recent visit. We had an awesome server and it's always a nice restaurant but I don't think we'll be back for a while.
The wine list was very good. We found the dinner menu limited and stagnate. The specials were a welcome addition and, for the most part, priced reasonably, but the Steak for Two at $120 was a fail. All steaks were sliced when served which we do not appreciate. We like to see the full cut ordered upon delivery to table. Some of the starters were better than others. Service was attentive at the start and lagged noticeably upon delivery of the entrees. Our meal for 3 was over $500 and was not up to that standard.
Unoriginal ambiance and menu. Food not prepared as ordered.
We tried the tasting menu and I was incredibly disappointed. The pumpkin soup shot and the homemade Bolognese were delicious along with the extensive wine list. But after a 5-course tasting menu that ended in the most disgusting panna cotta I've never tasted, I hated spending $250 on one meal that wasn't worth it at all. The food didn't live up to expectations.
