Wonderful menu with creative twists that were a culinary delight! While we don't live here, I would definitely go again. This is the kind of place I feel like I'd have to try everything on the menu. We had the Beef Carpaccio, Ahi Tuna and Lobster Bisque. So good!

Good , not great. A little slapdash . Rack of lamb too rare at “medium rare “ and the homemade asparagus ravioli heavy and inert. Expensive. Nice Grgich zin in half bottle. And the bear cocktail tasty.

Perfect place for a romantic dinner. The place is elegant and all the staff is very welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent; we had the Spanish Octopus to start and it was out of this world. Then, we had steak au poivre and the duck with risotto and both of the dishes were amazing. The wine selection is endless and we end up with a bottle of French red of Cotes de Brouillly and it was very good. Our waiter Indigo was awesome and very knowledgeable. We will be back!

Bacchus never disappoints. Great service, food, drink ... and wonderfully comfortable chairs! If there is one complaint, it's that when full of diners, the noise level is quite high, making conversation or hearing the server describe specials a bit difficult.
