My wife and I brought some friends from out of town in to dine, and, as always, it did not disappoint. A wonderful fine dining experience, everything ordered was prepared to perfection. The gorgonzola-crusted ribeye was the highlight of the meal, along with the superb cocktails. The service was also fantastic, and made for a truly remarkable experience.

Overall a good experience. However I ordered the special pan roasted sablefish dish and some of the ingredients were missing. When I questioned the server the fish should have either been replaced with all the ingredients included or the cost removed from our bill. I was given a dessert as an apology, not acceptable. Our server was very nice but did not make the appropriate choice in making this mistake whole. A restaurant of this caliber is expected to deliver quality dishes as station the menu, not forget to put all the items on the dish . Can’t say we will rush back as a result of this disappointing experience.

First time dinning with Bacchus overall it was amazing! I surprised my husband with an anniversary dinner and let’s just say 5 stars all around! We were completed with some champagne for our special night and enjoyed their ribeye. Definitely the biggest steak I’ve ever had! We for sure ate like kings ❤️

Fois gras app was disappointing. Fois quality was low and all the accompaniments especially the marmalade detracted. Entrees took a long time to arrive but were spot on. Both the duck and bouillabaisse were delicious. Overall, Bacchus was a good experience and fantastic value.
