Amazing food, the service was slightly rushed. We were seated right by the kitchen, it really took away from the ambiance our dinning experience. Waite staff was knowledgeable, and polite! Would definitely dine there again!

Appleton

About the restaurant

Proudly serving the Appleton area for 20 years, completely remodeled with a full bar with burners, lounge tables, firewall, lover's lane and private dining rooms.
Our experience is perfect for a romantic night out or a special occasion that deserves a unique experience. Our location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing four-course experience begins with a cheese fondue prepared table side. A fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood and vegetables. Entrees can be cooked fondue style or one our tableside grills. Each morsel is hot, fresh and delicious and all entrées are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the flavorful fun. Chocolate fondue is the finale.
Thank you for supporting our independently owned restaurant and employees.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Bacchus can could not have been more pleased with the service, attention to detail, and the quality of the chef's tasting menu and our sommelier pairings. We even were surprised with a tableside visit from Chef Paul Bartolotta. Lovely food, lovely drink, and wonderful memories.
