We like the whole idea of the restaurant and have enjoyed previous evenings. To be specific: for 4 people sitting at a small round table, it is awkward to select food from a square platter with a large handle. May be a carousel would have worked better. The chicauterie had strawberries that had a "choking" taste ,which ruined the evening for one of my guests. The house chardonnay tasted awful. We will be back and look forward to a future evening.

Great Wine list, the Raclette for 2 was a great choice and nice to find it as it's not easy to find restaurants in the U.S. offering such dish. Service was perfect.

Amazing Place!! Great and Friendly Staff! Food and drinks always consistent. When we are home, this place is a must for us, 1-2 time per week. We travel frequently, and Bacchus has one of the best Charcuterie presentation, not in the US but the world. Thank you, Bacchus Team - Wilson, Justin, Beverly, Chef for always welcoming us back with a smile!

Went during happy hour which is a great deal. Ordered our main courses off the regular menu which were both outstanding and a very good deal. I had the steak which was great and my wife had the sea bass which she loved. This is a great find for anyone looking for great food, great wine, and reasonable prices.

Didn't care for the high top tables which is all they had available. The hummus trio appetizer was excellent and the Rose wine was very good as well. The sea bass was also very good. But my husband was a bit surprised at the limited choices for the dinner items. Basically a steak entree or the sea bass entree were the only 2 entrees available for a dinner meal. Lots of appetizers and other items like boards, etc.. If you just want a happy hour glass of wine and a snack to meet up with friends it would be a great place, but for a birthday dinner it was just so so. The food was good and cute decor, Service was all right, not exceptional.

We loved the charcuterie board options -- tasty and beautifully arranged. The veggie flatbread was perfect for sharing and we chose a delicious Cote du Rhone wine and it paired nicely with everything. The chocolate truffles and caramels are a great way to finish the meal. We'll definitely be back!

Food was good - French onion soup was salty but full of flavor and high quality - a lot of care went into. The tuna tartare appetizer was only ok… tuna was very tough with zero flavor, but sauces were decent. We also ordered a meat & cheese board, taking several recommendations from server, which were hit or miss honestly. Non-spicy salami option was very bland; duck salami was interesting and new to us. Soft cheese (like Brie but different name) was amazing, but Gouda was bland. Also, most of the accompaniments were brine based, pickles, pickled veg, olives… would have liked more non-brine, like fruit, chocolate, different crackers (only came with baguette). Similarly, had two jams, but would have liked honey, mustard or different. Our server never came to check on us (and it was not busy until we left, we were the only table occupied at first, aside from two at the bar top facing street), but mentioned as he delivered our check we could have asked for other things. Would have been helpful to know when tray arrived, not at the end. On setting, was quiet & cosy at first, but got loud and crowded. Only one table is low, the rest are high tops, and very hard seats, so know that it’s not a place to linger for 2 hours comfortably. Overall, was good, and we’d probably try again, maybe more of the food choices, but I think some other wine bars in area are better.
