"A lovely date night. The food was great and the atmosphere very nice. The tuna tartare was amazing. We both had the scallops and my husband thought it was a great dish, but I would have liked a better sear on the scallops & the roasted cauliflower and potato puree, while good, were too heavy for my taste. The veal jus was absolutely brilliant. Our server was on point and the meal flowed beautifully even though we had a theater engagement. A very nice evening. Thanks."

"A fantastic place to dine. Some might consider the interior a bit spare, but the only necessary artwork is on the plate, as well as a decent lake view. We did not drink wine (which does not indicate a lack of quality vino- the place is not called Bacchus for nothing, as the thick wine BOOK attests), however, I did enjoy a fantastic stout at the adept recommendation of the house. For small plates, we enjoyed the Sea Scallop "Bartolotta" and the Goat Cheese Tartlet, the former beautifully seared and the latter creamy, light and flaky. For mains, the Filet Mignon, Rosinni style, and Seasonal Risotto. Both were excellent and it was a pleasure to find properly seared foie gras. Our next Milwaukee visit will certainly include a Bacchanalia."

"Bacchus was exceptional! I have been to many top restaurants around the country recently, and Bacchus stands out. The artichoke salad, scallops, and lobster were mind-blowing! Not sure why we did not go sooner as we like most of the Bartolotta restaurants however; we will be back soon. The only critique: "by the glass" wine pours are light! We just found quite possibly the best upscale restaurant in Milwaukee!"

"For my son's Golden Birthday, 22 on March 22nd, he wanted to go to his favorite restaurant Bacchus. We relished every morsel...from Sweet potato ravioli to his special, duck breast and my short ribs. We asked for our wines to be paired with our meals and they were excellent. It was a memorable evening indeed!"
