    Great food with reasonable prices. Huge selection of beers plus some local ciders and mixed drinks. Love that they use the local wineries as well! Only downside is that it can be quite loud when crowded. Unfortunately, that’s what happens with high ceilings. Great fell menu and waitress told us they will switch it up seasonally. Highly recommend the harvest salad and add chicken! Also the hummus platter is delicious too.

    Our server Laura V. was excellent. I ordered one the Specials, the 45 Day Dry-Aged Kansas City Strip. Was very good. Added Black Truffle Butter to that. Ordered a side of Sauteed Button Mushrooms, which was a very large order, certainly more than enough for two. All in all, a great evening out.

    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 ❤️
