We have always loved Bacchus and have saved going there for special occasions. We haven’t been there for about six months. The ambiance has changed. Music was loud, pop music and all the candles are gone with lights turned up giving it a bright look. It felt as though we we were in an urban hotel restaurant with impersonal feel. The food was good but again not the special gourmet experience that we had looked forward to.
Stellar service and ambiance. I liked the options on the menu, and the presentation was good. My complaint is that I ordered the night's special, and it wasn't prepared especially well. I ordered the New York stip (a good-sized portion at 12 oz) and asked for it to be medium rare. It came out cooked medium well. It took effort to cut the meat, and had it not been for the red wine steak sauce (which was delicious), the meat would have been too dry. As it was, I had to use all the sauce to make up for the overcooked meat. Give... read more
Heavy sauces that didn’t pair well. Overpriced for what was served. Disappointed. Won’t return
We went to enjoy a 5 course tasting paired with wine. Not one course or glass was described to us without having to ask. It was extremely disappointing. We spent a lot of money on what we thought would be a wonderful experience and the restaurant didn’t even have the decency to respond to my email regarding the issue.
The food was so incredibly mediocre - what a disappointment. The flavors didn’t go together, a lot of it was bland. For that price point you can go to a lot tastier restaurants in Milwaukee.
The only thing that was a concern what is the limited menu you were very few choices as they have gone to hey combination value for $60 or a combination value for $80 so I certainly missed the iceberg wedge blue cheese salad
Not what we expected for the cost of the meal. We expected much more flavorful food. The petite filet was very over cooked and some of the flavors did not meld well. Huge disappointment.
Very disappointed in this visit. No valet or nearby parking. Menu difficult to read in dim light: light gray ink in pink background and small fonts…choices very limited with elaborate and pretentious descriptions of the dollops of sauces on the plate mixed with accompanying potato salad and bean salad that sounded more like a sports bar. The spinach was mixed with cheese and deep fried, greasy and worthy of Burger King. Lamb chops deliciously prepared but the filet medallions, ordered medium rare, were over cooked and gray t... read more
The food was good but for the price it should have been outstanding. Wine pairing was also very expensive. I got at most 1.5 glasses of wine for $35. On the menu most of the wines were about $13 per glass so would have been much cheaper just ordering 2 glasses of wine off the menu
