Did not quite like it. Best thing I ate was my apetizer (fritters and aoili) and the fresh mango based margarita. Salad (spinach) was horrible! Way too heavy handed on the spinach. 4 small cubes of port belly and a poached egg that was done too much so that when cut open none of the yolk would even run onto the salad as a dressing as it was originally intended. Main dish (braised short rib) was okay ... nothing to write home to. Desert original request was Panna Cotta that was not good enough according to chef and so was not... read more

Went there to celebrate an anniversary. Tables crowded too close to others, so there are no opportunities for private conversations. There is no dress code, so attire was of the anything goes variety. While the tables to our right and left received bread immediately, we went halfway through our meal before even an acknowledement from the bread server. The kitchen was very heavy handed with the salt in my wife's roasted chicken (brined prior to roasting, so very little salt should have been used in the finishing process) and ... read more

We had our reservation for 8:30 and were not seated until 9:15. We then had to wait another 30+ minutes for our server to take our drink order and appetizers. All our food took way to long and we were very disappointed in the quailty of service that we expect from the Bartolotta group. I will not be going back to Bacchus.

Good overall..but..if I order Filet Mignon med rare, I expect the filet--not slices of filet done med. If I order a beet,watermelon,arugula salad (listed in that order, I expect more than two super thin slices of beets and two super thin slices of watermelon and a ton of arugula.

You need to keep the music down. It doesn't work so well in an elegant restaurant.

The pasta was cold and contained little of the lobster supposed to be in it. My lamb loin, although delicious and well presented consisted of two slices of the lamb. Would it have ruined the budget to serve three pieces of meat in an entree? Both of us left hungry. And felt that for $125 should have have some value to the meal besides the ambiance.

It must have been an off night for Bacchus as we have dined there before and have not been as disappointed as we were with this visit. While it was Valentines weekend, it was not overly crowded so we expected the best as we have been accustomed too with our previous visits. At the Bar we were seated for approx 5 minutes before we were asked what we would like. Great Martinis, but had to ask for water twice. Dining…. Promptly seated for our reservation and the waite staff was great. We ordered the Valentines special price fix... read more

Although the food was tasty and the waitstaff polite, the portions were inadequate. You should feel satisfied when you leave a restaurant of such class.

I split the porterhouse and the steak and the sides were barely warm. The service was great when we got there but it got busier and the restaurant did not plan accordingly. Service went down hill after that. Bacchus is one of my favorite restaurants and I was very disapponted in our dinner.
