Food was very good but the service was atrocious, definitely not what you would expect from a fine dining establishment.
We did the 5 course chefs menu with wine pairings. The entire service was painfully slow. Our waitress greeted us and said she would get us water and bread. We waited over 20 minutes for water and we had to flagged her down. The bread came about 1 hour later. Each course took about 30-40 minutes to come out. The wine pairings were so tiny! We spent the night mostly with empty drinks since the spacing of meals were so long. Overall it took 3 hours to complete dinner. We left angry, mad we paid $250 for terrible service.

I had to ask for dirty dishes to be removed from the table. no refill on my coffee. I had the halibut and asked if the Asian sauce would over power the fish and I was told it would not he was wrong. I ate none of the eggplant and other veggies, only the fish. For what we paid that evening I expected more!!!
The food and service were very good, but not proportional to the cost. We got the 5 course meal with wine pairings and everything tasted very average. There was nothing very creative or unique, which is what I would have expected for $150/person. I’ve had fine dining meals that were significantly better at the same price point.
The 5 course sampler was outstanding. Everything went well through the 4th course at which time the service got very slow and remained so through desert , coffee, and the check. We told our two servers, but they were very evasive with their response so we never determined what had caused this irritating slowdown. the
Service was great, food was sub par. Spent over $300, on wine, filet and strip. I like my steak pretty rare, however medium-rare at this restaurant is black and blue, sent back to the kitchen twice and didn't seem like they cooked it and put it back on the table. My strip had a lot of hard tendons, also extremely rare and cold. I decided not to say anything to not make my dinner any more awkward. I love bartolottas but sadly will not be going back to Bacchus again.
This restaurant was on our list to hit inn Milwaukee and we decided to go there on a Friday night. Understandably, a party of 8 isn’t small. However, at the time, there were only 4 other tables of diners. Our server was smirky, unfriendly, unaccommodating to a small request for some other vegetable other than what came with a meal, and overall, made everyone feel like we were wasting our money. Also, due to the size of our party, when we ordered appetizers, she should have informed us we needed to order more. Every appetizer... read more
Mother’s Day, overall slow service. didn’t seem to care.
Although our server was very polite, he was disorganized and inattentive. When he starts a task, he needs to finish it; he also needs to develop a more methodical process (this is coming from a server). For example, take drink orders immediately (we sat there for 10 minutes before he took our cocktail orders), take all of the menus from the table at once (it took him two trips for both the dinner and dessert menus because he got sidetracked both times with another table or task), check all the waters for refilling at the sam... read more
