Bacchus of past years is gone. I do not like a tasting menu as an only option. The vegetarian menu was the same price as one with meat which does not make sense. The tuna appetizer was stringy, fatty and not enjoyable. Liked the salmon, but the main courses are not served with a side of vegetables, very sparse. Service was very good. So disappointed. Was celebrating a big birthday. In the future would choose a different restaurant. Not worth the $300 spent on this meal

We came for Easter Brunch. When I first made the reservation (early March), I did so because I reviewed the menu offerings and it all looked delicious. However, the menu changed, and I wasn't nearly as excited with the new dishes. Some of them felt "banquet like" (i.e. filet with mashed potatoes, salmon with asparagus). Overall, the food was just OK, but very overpriced for $65. The desserts were especially disappointing. The pear tart was overcooked and extremely dry and the caramel sauce with the monkey bread was burnt. Th... read more

Well, we dine at Bacchus every year for my wife's birthday. This year, unbeknown to us when we made the reservation there was a bourbon dinner in the main dining room. We were seated in the room just adjacent to the bar which is no problem normally. We have attended private parties in that room (weddings) in the past. It is light and often a fun room. This year they had plastic chairs for all the diners to sit on. I mean they were the typical outdoor, backyard plastic chairs. They were very uncomfortable, especially when you... read more

What a disappointment! We went here for their NYE meal at $150 a person it was NOT worth it. Let's start with the service. Supposedly they were working in "teams' for NYE. This meant random servers would walk by your table to help. This may make sense to the owners but this causes confusion for the customers!! I would tell one server one thing they would forget and another would come by so I would tell them the same thing then 20 min later they would both deliver on the request? Made no sense and was detrimental to the servi... read more

Wait 15 min after we were seated, had to tell the host we were forgotten about. Host said he’d comp our first drink and forgot about that too. Just not the same caliber of service Bacchus once was.

My experience was the same as the other two times since the remodel some three years ago. Just awful. Why what should be a crown jewel of Milwaukee restaurants and the best Bartolla has to offer is almost offensive to the senses to experience is beyond me. Loud piped in music that you can’t talk over. Lighting that accentuates ever wrinkle in your face and service that is almost openly hostile to the customer. Do not waste your time going here. It is such a horrible experience. And management seems to completely not care. An... read more

Wir haben das 3 Gang Menü für 70$ gewählt Vorspeise sehr gut, als Hauptgang hatte mein Mann flat iron beef …der Kellner servierte Filet Mignon entschuldigt sich und bringt dann die richtige Hauptspeise. Ich hatte Entenbrust bestellt das ganze Gericht hatte keinen Geschmack ich habe es zurück gehen lassen es wurde nicht berechnet und habe dann ein Filet Mignon genommen. Fleisch sehr gut , Sauce mit Pilzen kein Geschmack! Als Nachspeise hatte ich Blaubeeren, es sollte ein bisschen exotisch sein und wurde mit Essig abgeschmeckt... read more

Don’t advertise fresh mozzarella and serve dried hard mozzarella 😞. Same goes for peaches and ice cream.

My wife and I chosed the five course meal and felt the meals were good to OK. We started with diced pickled beets which was a taste of sour and sweet which may of been the best course of the night. The scallop dish was amazing. Mozzarella dish was OK but nothing special. My wife cannot eat onions so she only got squash on the ragu which was bland and tasteless. Lastly the filet was overcooked (sad) but had a good taste but was not special. The service was outstanding but at the end of the day the meat did not justify the cos... read more
