This is the place to come to if you want ‘Rack of Lamb / Silence of the Lamb Style’. (It was what I requested). Incredible wine selection. And the muscle small plate will leave you sopping up the sauce. Matt and Sean were on top of everything.

Had a business dinner at Bacchus last night- what an excellent experience. Sat in their Courtyard, a nice open feel with plenty of space between tables. Anne Marie our server took good care of us. Pork Chop special was the hit of the night.

The service and atmosphere are great, and the food is delicious too. However, the corn sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking, but that might just be a matter of personal taste.

I had not been here in quite some time. Big mistake. The room is beautiful. I had a duck special that was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The wine was perfect and the service was attentive. All in my party were very happy. I don’t mind paying for an experience like I had tonight. I am definitely going back soon. The bread with olive oil is amazing ( I was not paid for the review and do not know the owner and I’m not a relative of anyone that works there )

-Baked oysters didn’t have an oyster flavor, and it was strange they were plated atop arugula despite being a hot dish.

Visited for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was absolutely amazing! The food and wine was incredible, the staff were friendly and our server was fantastic. The ambiance was inviting and comfortable. Everything is very clean and professional. We had the caviar and champagne, the ribeye, the duck, the tiramisu, and the crème brûlée. Highly recommend all of them! Husband and I agree it was the best anniversary dinner we’ve had, hands down!

Lobster corn bisque was watery with two small shreds of lobster. The Caesar Salad plate was warm with wilted romaine leaves and didn’t have anchovies. The chicken was overdone and dry. The falsely advertised Rack of Lamb was only a half rack. We waited over an hour to get our entries. The wait staff didn’t refill our water until we were paying the check. Dinner for two was $138.00 plus $32 dollar tip.

Food was fantastic. Tableside presentations were very tasteful. Excellent wine list. Top tier service. Dining room was a little loud but probably because of the historic building they are in.

The new manager was very rude and unprofessional. He looked at me and my family funny the moment we walked in. He never once checked on us to ask us how was the food or even asked me can I fix the food that we didn’t cook right. I watched him go to other tables and ask other people was everything okay. He never once acknowledged us. He made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. As I excused myself from the table the manager told right by our table like we was going to run out of there and wasn’t going to pay. I would never go to this place again if my life depended on it. The waiter indigo was very respectful and courteous to us the entire time.
