As someone who travels extensively across the U.S. and Canada, I don't say this often--Bacchanalia is easily one of my Top 3 dining experiences. Every detail was exceptional: outstanding service, an elegant atmosphere, and a tasting menu that delivered from start to finish. They truly checked every box. If you're in Atlanta and appreciate world-class dining, Bacchanalia is a must. read more

Bacchanalia - Fixed Menu and Wine - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Dinner for 8. - Ambiance (5*) Loved the minimalist decor. Really nice wood table. Perfect without a table cloth. We were seated in a semi private room- intimate and quiet without feeling sealed off. - Service (4*) For the most part very professional. The early part was a little clumsy. One waitress delivered us drinks we didn't order. I didn't get a wine glass at first. A couple courses- we didn't get all our plates at same time and waited a bit for everyone to get their food. - Prix Fixe, $140pp - Crimson Orchard, $19 (5*) Beautiful cocktail. Serene just to look at. Even better to taste. Swirled it around my mouth. - Amuse (2*) Cold arancini and a lobster thing that didn't taste much of lobster with a stale tasting shell. Couldn't really have started with anything worse. Also, I would have preferred knowing that foie was part of the amuse. Would have skipped it (for ethical reasons). - Steak Tartare (5*) Beautiful presentation. And so tasty. The bulgur added some really cool texture to this. Super tasty overall. - Turbot (3*) Well cooked piece of fish overall. But I found the sauce to be pretty tasteless overall, and the tomatoes on the plate could have thus used some additional seasoning. - Tomato Side Dish (2*) Very odd inclusion. Also lacking flavor. Just didn't seem to fit the very deliberate prix fixe coursing? - Eggplant Side Dish (5*) While also an odd inclusion, this I at least found delectable. Nice crunch, and the poblano sauce was really good against the eggplant. - Stracciatella (4*) Odd presentation with maybe just a tad too much radicchio. Brave though! Never thought so much radicchio could be manipulated into such a tasty dish. It could have been torn into smaller pieces to make it easier to get bites of radicchio and stracciatella at the same time. I also didn't find the hazelnuts until the very end. - Soufflé (2*) Had such high hopes. They got the hard part right- good execution on the soufflé structure. So fluffy. But it was cloyingly sweet, even for someone like me who enjoys sweet. It tasted almost of cotton candy. I couldn't finish it. - Mignardise (4*) The madeleine kind of just tasted like Costco madeleines. But those chocolate truffles were so delicious. I ate three. - Value (4*) Pretty good value for inventive, Michelin rated food. Many places might charge much more. Didn't quite reach 5* for me because I found the execution lumpy. - Final Word A night of highs and lows. I would come back and order specific things à la carte again maybe. The highs were really high. The lows were really low. Makes it hard to judge this properly. Probably solidly a 3.5* but sadly rounding down to a 3* on account of so many lows. read more

We had family in town that wanted to try a Michelin star restaurant. I am so happy we decided on Bacchanalia. The food was excellent. We didn't think we would get full due to the portion sizes. The amount of courses and little side courses fill you up!!! The service was excellent it reminded me of the bear. Everyone was in unison. All the plates and drinks were set out at the same time. My water glass was never empty. It was worth every penny that we spent. read more

Really enjoyed the experience. I found the service and food to be incredible. The wine pairings were ok. Some I enjoyed and others weren't great. Very lovely experience and it wasn't too pretentious. They are deserving of being a Michelin star restaurant. Absolutely beautiful restaurant. read more

The food here and the upscale vibes are immaculate. No wonder they have a Michelin star. So well deserved! I was blown away by every dish we had. I was worried the platters were small but I left absolutely stuffed and not able to eat anymore. On top of the four course meal, they give so many tastings of other things in between that you truly leave having had an amazing experience and on a full stomach. The waiter was kind enough to walk us through the whole menu and each of the dishes when we asked and they were constantly filling up our waters and checking on us. It's the level of service and attention to detail that really makes it stand out. read more

Michelin star is well deserved. The entire meal was outstanding. Really like the 4 course menu concept where you pick and choose your items to construct your unique meal. Every dish is well presented and the attention to flavor is well executed. Favorites included the crab fritter, Lobster, Scallops and both deserts (chocolate cake and pecan praline). The wine selection was excellent and the service was equally outstanding. read more

A lot of their food for their current tasting menu had lemon and citrus ingredients in it which I wasn't a fan of, I came here with my friends after a long day and the ambiance made me feel so sleepy because of the soft lighting. Their chairs were not the most comfortable, but the overall vibe of this place was cool. The service was impeccable with a deep focus on creating a high end experience for their guests. Personally for me, I'm glad I tried it as it's an ATL Michelin staple, but I left there a little underwhelmed read more

Was traveling to ATL for a convention and have heard ravings about how excellent the food is in an industrial area near downtown so was eager to check it out. A former colleague recently recommended this spot and this Michelin star rated gem did not disappoint!! Bacchanalia has well-earned its reputation as Atlanta's most-celebrated restaurant since opening in 1993. The menu features light and creative contemporary American cuisine from Chefs/Owners Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison, and a culinary team led by Executive Chef Kai Nalampoon and Chef de Cuisine Erick Callas. Bacchanalia offers a four course, prix fixe menu at $140 per person. My friend and I ordered a glass glasses of wine each and the total came out to around $368 (not including tip). Well worth the price, in my opinion! The food was absolutely amazing, every bite was full of flavor, mixed textures and was perfectly cooked. My only regret is that I couldn't finish all of it! Service was top notch, our server Matt was phenomenal. Such an incredible experience and I can't wait to again soon! read more

From the moment you walk into Bacchanalia, you can feel that it is going to be a great experience. The ambiance is open and modern. Service is impressive from start to finish. The menu is a fixed price experience with four courses. You get to choose from a variety of options for each course, providing ultimate flexibility. Every single bite was delicious and I cannot wait to return. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The hostess expressed slight annoyance when our party was one short (from three to two) due to a scheduling conflict. Outside of that small instance, the server and managers were very friendly. I enjoyed the four course prix fixe menu with wine pairing. I ordered the SF Egg (paired with Champagne, Etienne Calsac, Extra Brut), Crispelle (paired with Soave Classico, Pieropan, La Rocca), Valserena Parmigiano (personally paired with Rose Sparkling Wine, Cruse Wine Co), and Strawberry (paired with Gamay Blend, Daniel Boccard). The amuse, bread service and sides supplemented this lovely experience. read more

Oh my gosh this place is incredible!! 10/10 for service, food and ambiance. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. Each dish was so thoughtfully crafted and they even served extra small bites as well as bread so we ended up leaving very full! Each staff member we encountered was so friendly and knowledgeable. It's pricey but with what you're receiving, I think the price is very reasonable. Check it out for sure!! read more

Bacchanalia - Jamison Farm Lamb Jamison Farm Lamb - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

If you are looking for the Michelin experience, Bacchanalia is by FAR my suggestion. Came here for a friend's birthday and had the most excellent time - the staff went above and beyond to make our night as memorable and enjoyable as possible. We loved that we got the opportunity to try different things - sometimes set tasting menus can be restrictive, but this allowed us to try a bunch of different delicious dishes. Far and above, the standout to me was dessert - the chocolate lava cake. This might be the best thing I've eaten in my entire life (definitely the best thing I ate this year)! Everything was delicious, but that really was a show stopper. At the end of our meal, we walked around Star Provisions and chatted with the kitchen staff - they are super kind and fun to talk to. They even offered us free loaves of leftover bread from the day! Bacchanalia is certainly no small expense... you'll need to expect to pay a HEFTY price, but if this is a gift to you or a loved one, I'd say it's worth it. read more

I dined at this restaurant recently with my friends to celebrate a wedding as we are all foodies and were excited to see what Atlanta had to offer in terms of Michelin star restaurant. After visiting, I have to say that while I am glad that I went I don't think nor do my friends will go back. They have a prix fixe menu which we knew going in but everything just seemed mediocre for the bar that is expected when a concept has a Michelin star. Not to mention, we all shared dishes that we didn't have so we tasted almost every single dish on the menu. Across the board, I felt like while the plating and flavors were good nothing was exceptionally great or like a wow. I expected to see more techniques in terms of gastronomy or even plating at a minimum which plating was very simplistic and minimalist which would be okay if the flavors were super creative or there were any other wow elements which our table didn't feel like there was. It would be fine for a normal nice dining experience but for a Michelin star the expectation was higher and the most technique thing we saw was the foam with the lobster. The server was very well versed and helpful and the timing of all dishes was on par but it did feel like some service elements did fall short for a restaurant of that caliber. Some of the things were glasses water glasses running empty which while the server did refill I do not believe in fine dining that if service is on point any glass should be finished before being refilled. We also were not given plates or dishes for the first little bite offered to our table and the I watched another table next to us get them so just seemed inconsistent with the dining experience. We were provided with new silverware and dishes for everything else even in between intermezzos and amuse bouches. As mentioned all dishes were fine, but nothing was exceptional or crazy or innovative. All of my friends said that their dishes that were supposed to be hot were at best room temp which I understand that things don't come out scolding hot but they should be warm if they are not meant to be served cold like tartare or dessert. All dishes were alternated with some sort of palate cleanser minus the second course which was served with two sides at the same time. It did feel as though service fell short in the aspect of us being served the same amount of dishes to share between courses as if we were a party of 2 versus a party of 5 for example one loaf of bread and only 4 rolls as one example of our experience. They seemed to sit on the side of less rather than more which just didn't feel quite hospitable. It felt as though the dish ware selections were intentional to the dishes but not cohesive to the concept of the restaurant as a whole. The same dishes had the same dish ware but the dishes themselves weren't consistent to the theme of a certain style of plating materials. Overall, I feel like the value and amount of food served was good. It just wasn't exceptional or uber impressive for the expectation that comes with having a star. For my group, the defining factors that we felt weren't up to par were aesthetic, flavor, some service elements, and innovation. Everything was good but not great or anything super memorable but overall experience was average for a fine dining restaurant without a star. Some of the group after reviewing were "it was not offensively bad. More salt. Good but underwhelming. Presentation lacked memorability. Not bad but not great." They did give free bread and bagels as a parting gift which was a nice touch. But if you do decide to go here at least the crab fritter alone may indeed be worth $150 by itself. read more

My love for going to Michelin star restaurants brought me here while visiting Atlanta. Atlanta is relatively new to the Michelin scene, but this restaurant has been here for about 30 years, so it made sense to try this one first. I had a marvelous dinner! You choose 4 courses for $140. I went for the crab fritter (a signature dish), the duck breast, the walnut tart with blue cheese, and the grapefruit soufflé for dessert. In-between are complimentary mini bouches and a citrus palette cleanser after the main. The service was cordial Southern friendly without being pretentious. The ambience was a bit dark with beautiful hanging lighting. I will go here for special occasions when you want to have great conversations with your dinner partner! read more

Someone recommended it and I've been meaning to check this place out, for a while. I can be wary of people over hyping things; but, Bacchanalia did not disappoint. Food: I got the price fixe and probably the best choice. Just have to make sure you have room, as they start you off with amuse bouche and bread. Not sure if it's every night, but I got pao de queijo. My first was the crab fritter. I could eat that EVERYDAY. Everything in the dish complements each other and made me excited for the recast of the meal. My second was the Rohan Duck, a heavily Korean influenced dish. Perfectly cooked and the pairings were all tasty, too. More fresh bread comes with your second and if you ask nicely, they'll let you try both options. My third was the comte soufflé and the apple compote helps brighten the cheese. Lastly, I had the soufflé and that tarragon ice milk needs to be served in bigger portions. It was SO tasty. Cant forget, I was offered more bread, when I left. The atmosphere was warm and the service was awesome. Now, I need to get back to work, so I can afford to go back. Is it obvious that I liked it? read more

The steak dishes was wonderful and deserves 5/5 because it was cooked perfectly, and came with the most wonderful heavenly piece of mashed potato wedge I have ever came across in my life. The lobster tail was cooked to perfection and bathing in a wonderful sauce 4.7/5. The crab cake 5/5 is legendary as this point, it's been on their menu for over 30 years.m and needless to say, it's the best crab cake I've ever had. 5/5 scallop dish also cooked perfectly, the sauce was excellent and I actually really love the asparagus being prepared this way. We added a duck entree because it's extremely popular however I thought the steak was better. The 3rd course (cheese course) was not my favorite.. The dessert was underwhelming and did not impress. 1/5 Service was nice, beautiful decor. read more

Wow! This place was so good! My wife and I are always looking for a good restaurants. And for her birthday, I thought we would go all out and go to a Michelin star restaurant! These restaurants absolutely live up to their name. While we were there, we had so many different food options. If you've ever been to a chef's table, this is what this restaurant is like. The food was incredible, we left and wanted to go back the next day! I would recommend things, but it seems as though their menu changes quite frequently. However, I would encourage you to go out on a limb and try something new while here! My wife tried lobster for the first time and it was incredible. Now let's talk about the service of this restaurant, I don't believe my water glass ever got below half empty. We had probably three servers who visited us at intervals that were not annoying! They checked on us and delivered our food in a timely manner. This restaurant is fairly quiet, and everybody is seated far enough apart, where you don't feel like somebody's intruding on your conversation. This restaurant is an experience! We were there for almost 3 hours. We had so much fun, the food was amazing, the service was impeccable, and we left knowing that we would be back! Also, it was my wife's birthday so they treated us to a birthday cake as well! Thank you guys we will for sure be back! read more

My friends and I have a birthday tradition to go to high quality, often costing a bit normal. Special occasions are worth it. There was three of us with one having lots of special dietary restrictions. The staff absolutely made sure she was taken care of, answering all questions she had, and providing great alternatives. The staff were incredibly nice and attentive. We received a free French loaf on the way out the door. The menu changes and they'll bring "extras" throughout the evening. 4 course meal - I went with the crab fritter for the first course. Dry aged steak for the my second course. Yogurt for the 3rd and chocolate for the 4th. All were great. We tried each others courses. The halibut was really good. Bacchanalia is the in the same category as Lazy Betty. Top notch chefs doing amazing work. Can't wait to return. read more

So glad I came here for my birthday.. Probably the best meal I've had in a long time! I mean from the moment we checked in service was top-notch. We were immediately greeted and taken to our seats. The staff is so attentive, very knowledgeable and professional. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The lowlight ambiance creates an intimate and cozy atmosphere that is so romantic for date night. Bacchanalia offers a 4 course pre-fixe meal and you can choose from different options. I have to say everything is perfectly curated and each ingredient compliments each other so well. Before and inbetween the main dishes we were brought little gifts from the chef as well. My husband and I tried the following: Pâte à choux with cheese sauce Trio of amuse-bouche First Courses: Crab fritter, Thai essence, citrus, avocado Steak Tartare, lime, toasted rice, chili Sourdough bread & Rolls with butter and hummus Second Courses: Duck: butternut squash, orange, espresso Dry Aged NY Strip, bone marrow, potato, horseradish They also brought us sides to accompany our main dishes: Pickled cucumber salad with mushrooms and crispy potatoes Third Courses Smoked Ricotta, winter squash, pepita Cheese Selection (Cantal, Zamorano, Garrotxa, Comte, Bayley Hazen Blue) Palate cleanser was citrus Agua Fresca I believe Fourth Courses Strawberry whole grain tart, matcha gelato Souffle, grapefruit, ginger, honey gelato Everything we had was so good! The duck and steak were cooked to perfection. The sides really worked with the mains, that cucumber salad looked so simple yet I couldn't describe how good it was but I couldn't stop eating. AND THAT CRAB FRITTER! OMG. Best dish! The also sent us home with some goodies. Overall, a really great fine dining experience in Atlanta and those Michelin stars are well deserved! ESPAÑOL Estoy muy contenta de haber venido aquí para mi cumpleaños. Probablemente la mejor comida que he probado en mucho tiempo! Desde el momento en que nos registramos, el servicio fue de primera. Nos recibieron de inmediato y nos llevaron a nuestros asientos. El personal es muy atento, muy informado y profesional. El restaurante en sí es hermoso. El ambiente con poca luz crea una atmósfera íntima y acogedora que es muy romántica para una noche de cita. Bacchanalia ofrece un menú fijo de 4 platos y puedes elegir entre diferentes opciones. Tengo que decir que todo está perfectamente seleccionado y cada ingrediente se complementa muy bien. Antes y entre los platos principales, también nos trajeron pequeños obsequios del chef. Mi esposo y yo probamos lo siguiente: Pâte à choux con salsa de queso Trío de amuse-bouche Primeros platos: Buñuelos de cangrejo, esencia tailandesa, cítricos, aguacate Steak Tartare, lima, arroz tostado, chile Pan de masa madre y panecillos con mantequilla y hummus Segundo plato: Pato: calabaza, naranja, espresso Lomo de Nueva York añejado en seco, tuétano, patata, rábano picante También nos trajeron guarniciones para acompañar nuestros platos principales: Ensalada de pepino encurtido con champiñones y patatas crujientes Tercer plato Ricotta ahumada, calabaza de invierno, pepita Selección de quesos (Cantal, Zamorano, Garrotxa, Comte, Bayley Hazen Blue) El limpiador de paladar fue Agua Fresca cítrica, creo Cuarto plato Tarta de fresa de cereales integrales, helado de matcha Soufflé, pomelo, jengibre, helado de miel Todo lo que comimos estaba buenísimo! El pato y el bistec estaban cocinados a la perfección. Las guarniciones combinaban muy bien con los platos principales, esa ensalada de pepino parecía tan simple, pero no podría describir lo buena que estaba. Y ESE BUÑUELO DE CANGREJO! ¡DIOS MÍO! El mejor plato! También nos enviaron a casa con algunas delicias. En general, una experiencia gastronómica realmente excelente en Atlanta y esas estrellas Michelin son bien merecidas. read more

I visited Bacchanalia recently for the first time in many years. It squarely falls in the "fine dining" category, which I do not frequent as (for my tastes) the price often does not match the experience and/or value delivered. Happily, this was not the case with Bacchanalia...it was a wonderful experience! The fixed, four-course menu is diverse enough to satisfy most tastes during each course. I started with the SF Egg, which included an interesting gastrique with crispy sourdough for dipping. For the second course I opted for the Nantucket scallops which were melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Brillat-Savarin was my pick for the cheese course and I enjoyed it as a milder, non-earthy option. For dessert everything sounded incredible, but I loved the Ellijay Apple as a warm, not-too-sweet option with local flavor. The restaurant's ambience was just right: dark, moody and not at all loud or buzzy. Service was excellent, with the staff being warm and welcoming while remaining attentive throughout the evening. If you have a special occasion to celebrate or just want a first-rate dining experience I believe you'll find Bacchanalia fits the bill. read more

The location of the restaurant is very low-key, and there is just a name on front door, I was even thinking it was wrong place. The place is not big inside, with 20 or 30 original wooden tables. The dishes were served one by one, and we casually spent for almost 3 hours, tasting the delicious food and chatting about family subjects, which was very enjoyable. Compared with the exquisite meals in other previous quasi-Michelin restaurant, this restaurant has higher standards for the ingredients and process, and the service is immaculate. The ingredients and process of each dish will be explained in detail, and the bread crumbs left on the table will be wiped clean. The foie gras melts in the mouth and has a rich aroma; although the two pieces of NY Strip steaks looked small, they were full of meat flavor and the cooked just right to the point. The rest are remarkable, but not as impressive as these two dishes. read more

I was soooo close to knocking off a star on this review, because I made reservations and we were seated late. That's the only reason. We weren't sat super late and everything else more than made up for it. Plus, this did give me and my guest time to sit at the bar. That being said this is exactly the kind of place you expect it to be at its price point. It's low lighting, low ambient sound, minimal decor, servers dressed in dark clothes being hyper attentive, and the best food you have ever had in your life. I will remember Bacchanalia for always. The food is incredible. They made sure the things I wanted were vegetarian and made adjustments as needed. Each course was its own whole experience. The cheese course was a lesson in decadence. I chose the parmesan; this was made of a small oat cake, curls of raw parm and crisped parm as well. The curls melted in your mouth into a pool of flavor. I have never had cheese like that before. I'm told the crab cake is amazing. Apparently it's been on the menu for ages and for good reason. If you have the money and the time, make a drive out to Bacchanalia. read more

Super nice upscale restaurant that offers a 4 course fixed menu BUT (shout out all my semi picky eaters) you can actually choose which dishes you want from each section! ‍ the four sections are: appetizer, entree, cheese, dessert and items under each section change seasonally Since there were 4 of us, we all ordered different dishes so we could try as many as we could and I gotta say: food quality was super good, service was also immaculate and ofc all the dishes were SO beautiful our faves were the complimentary cheese puffs which were airy and light and paired with the creamy yet strong cheese sauce was SO good (even my dad who doesn't usually eat cheese loved it, the entrees were all very good (meat was tender and juicy, seafood was fresh and everything was very flavorful) the only thing I will say is that the desserts were lacking (compared to the rest of our meal): overall everything was too sweet and kinda just fell flat BUT still good IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

I have visited this restaurant twice before it received a Michelin star. It was pretty good then, but I never would have considered this restaurant Michelin-rated or even at the standard of Bib Gourmand. Parts of the service felt rushed. One of the waiters stumbled quite a bit with the menu and when asked about details of the dessert (as they have 1-2 word descriptions) went so far as to describe the location of each ingredient which is a first for me. A waitress left a couple of empty plates on the table when she placed our entrées in front of us. Two of the four servers we had during our meal were top notch professional, succinct in their descriptions when presenting our food and were quite graceful. The main proteins were cooked to perfection and the presentation was beautiful. The meal itself, though, was overall lackluster; nothing special flavor-wise. Additionally, it is bread heavy which is at odds with a refined and intentional Michelin menu where the bread is supposed to compliment, not dominate the entire meal. For example, at the Dabney (in DC), their cast-iron cornbread fits with their theme of elevating a rustic, family-style Southern meal with a communal presentation. In contrast, the bread here felt more like a filler, literally. You'll certainly leave full--but ironically, the experience falls a bit flat. I will say the evening ended nicely with the dessert, so compliments to the pastry chef. Otherwise, I remain flabbergasted as to how this place not only has a star but has sustained it. It's a harsh critique, but after eating at dozens of Michelin restaurants, even the basic standard should be maintained. read more

came here for a birthday dinner on a saturday night @8:30 with a party of 6, definitely want a reservation for this kind of spot. The staff the entire experience was absolutely delightful, like could not say enough great things about them ALL. I wish i remembered our server's name but he was so sweet and even chatted with us a bit after we were all checked out and done with our meal. All our questions about the menu, wine or extras were answered with ease and pleasure. I got the crab fritter first course, very good crab meat and flavor combinations. scallops for my second, my FAVORITE course by far it was delicious; the blend of sweet and vinegar with the creaminess and scallops cooked perfectly was amazing. third course i had the stilton (blue cheese) which was very good. Finally, fourth course i got the chocolate dessert and it was soooooo delicious, but so was my friends coffee dessert. not pictured: foie gras which was my first time trying fatty duck liver and i really liked it, it was cooked really well. also my friends lamb was very tender and delicious. for a price per head, these portions were actually perfect and filled us great. they also brought out a few "mini" courses and bread/ sides for us to share during the second course. cons we experienced: the side of broccoli we got during our second course was VERYYYY charred and ice cold. My friend's steak was also ordered mid rare and it was quite literally pittsburgh blue, she still ate it and enjoyed it for the most part but my god it was insanely rare and not what she ordered. All things aside i really enjoyed the experience and food here and would recommend for a once a year nice occasion. we paid about 200$ a person with a glass of wine, 125pp, and the tip! read more

We came here to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived a few minutes before our Saturday evening reservation and were seated promptly. We had a main server for the night and another one who were both pleasant. When we asked for explanations on the menu they explained them well. We sat close to the staging area curtains so I'll say the ambiance was ok. My one gripe from the night is that our drinks from the bar too long way too long. We ordered them before we placed our menu order and did not receive them until right before our third course, which was when our wine came out. So, I preferred to drink the wine pairing with the duck and saved my drink, which of course tasted watered down. Overall, while the food was good, nothing stood out to me as memorable. I also think the courses could've came out a little closer together. A dinner for two took almost 3 hours. The best taste of the night was my husband's lobster in Thai sauce, it was excellent! Check my pictures, the duck was more chewy than what I'm used to. I won't rule out coming here again, but I'll come at a different time of year to experience different menu. read more

Wow, what an experience. This beautiful restaurant really is a cut above the rest. The service was just spectacular, and we were impressed that the pre-fixe menu had 5-6 options per course. It's four courses for $125, plus whatever you spend on drinks. I'm no foodie expert by any means, but this was such a fun and delicious experience. I had the crab fritter to start, which was so flavorful - the fritter was melt-in-your-mouth good with a sweet and spicy sauce. The lobster was to die for. I so rarely get to eat lobster, and there was an Asian sauce with it that I would drink. The cheese course was creative and fun - I had the parmigiana with a date cake - salty and sweet. And my chocolate dessert was like a little French silk pie on a cookie bottom - rich and also salty, which was surprising. They had little tiny surprise treats throughout the meal, including fresh sourdough and rolls. You can choose to do wine pairings, but we had cocktails. The Paloma was refreshing, and my husband had a tea-themed gin drink. Our other family members had wine, and they have a full journal of options and a sommelier to help you choose. The most random side note: the lights kept dimming and then coming back up. It was very confusing haha. However, this was a great experience for a special occasion. My first Michelin star experience! read more

3 visits to Bacchanalia so far, and it's still as enjoyable an experience as ever. With a few choices for each course, plus little amuse bouches and delicious canapés, bread service and petit fours, this is a lovely experience to savor. Don't come in unless you have enough time to enjoy it; it took around 2.5hrs with well-paced service. My favorite was the cheese course. It was a little chilly sitting close to the windows on a December evening, but a couple of well made cocktails and it didn't bother us too much. Will continue to return. read more

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Bacchanalia did not disappoint. We chose the prix fixe with a couple additional items, and everything was amazing. Highlights were fois gras, crab fritter, ny strip, and soufflé. Service was fantastic. As with any Michelin multiple course restaurant, we were at dinner for 3 hours which was to be expected. Drinks were tasty as well. We started with Santa's hat and an old fashioned. If you're looking for a quick, reasonably priced meal, this isn't it.

A neat perfect experience in all ways! If we had remained with just the courses this would have been a 5 star review. We tried the Fruits de Mer and I would recommend passing. The price for what is received is not worth it. Very keen seafood eater here and not all the seafood tasted fresh. Nothing had gone bad but shellfish was all fishy, and you could even taste it through the various sauces. The shrimp was the best part - tasted fresh. The lobster roll was also a disappointment - way too much bread. Now onto the good parts - everything we chose for the 4 courses was delicious. From crab fritter, to mushroom tart, to duck, prime rib..everything was perfectly created to a tee. Loved all the little deliveries from the kitchen as well throughout the meal. We definitely were stuffed by the end. Definitely recommend and would come back. The restaurant itself is also gorgeous rustic chic. read more

I came here for the third time a couple weeks ago. Made a reservation well in advance for a special occasion. To be honest, I didn't remember the first two times I dined here because they were so long ago. So I was excited to render this as a relatively "new" experience. As you know, the location is in a unique industrial location at West Midtown - connected to Star Provisions and situated within some quiet greenery as the environs. Service is, as expected, top-notch. We were promptly seated to our table. The waiter was very patient in answering our multitude of questions and gave some great context around the dishes. We got the standard prix fixe, one using non-vegetarian options and one using vegetarian options. (For those who are so inclined, they also have vegan options available but not listed.) The dishes are small, but there are many...not just the 4 that are listed. In other words, don't be disappointed by the size of your first course. We started off with the yellow fin tuna and the mushroom. Again, not large - but flavorful. Afterwards were the lamb (very unique) and agnolotti. I usually try to avoid pasta at non-Italian restaurants, but this at least enjoyable and actually pretty filling. I should note that we received some greens and tasty side dishes during this process, so the amuse-bouches were very much appreciated (and certainly satiated us). Cheese was interesting to have as a standalone course, and dessert was of course delectable, particularly the chocolate option, along with an aesthetically pleasing coffee dessert. I look forward to going back. read more

Something I wish I knew before coming here was the amount of additional food that would be served. I figured there might be an amuse, or bread, and was looking forward to something slightly different than a tasting menu (fixed price, but you get to pick your own "four"). With that said, it was quite a lot of food. Way more than I expected. I know for the price many people would likely want the additions but some of it felt a bit disjointed with what was otherwise a very solid plate of food. I found the first course to actually be my favorite (I got the fritter and my fiancé got the tataki) as the dishes felt the most harmonious. The loaf of bread was great, my fiancé really liked his steak, and I thought the seabass was well prepared (though I wished it was more kimchi than straight cabbage). I struggled with the third course - Brillat-Savarin was cloyingly sweet and there was too much happening for me with the Beecher's Flagship. Some of the extra treats were a nice thought but felt a little overwhelming and somewhat random accompanying our main. The atmosphere, staff, and experience overall was enjoyable. read more
