We had such a wonderful time here for Sunday tea that we made another reservation for a larger group of us for a Mother's Day celebration and I can't wait to head back!! The tea was excellent, and the employees were all so knowledgeable and kind. The restaurant itself is adorable and just has a nice vibe. The food they serve is also excellent, I had a wonderful experience and cannot wait to go back! read more

Our host was very considerate and helpful. Congratulations to him on his retirement. Our waitress was attentive but unobtrusive. The food was incredible. We had the sea bass and the scallop entrees with the bread appetizer and the apple pie dessert. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of breads in the appetizer and it was not overly filling. The scallops had the most amazing garbanzo bean side and that's from a girl who doesn't generally love garbanzos outside of hummus. The sea bass was cooked to perfection and the sides paired well with it. The apple pie dessert was to die for, assuming you love the play of caramel with tart apples, which I do. Kudos all around to the staff and chefs. Also the restaurant itself was very classy. Will be going back for sure! read more

I highly recommend this establishment! One word comes to mind! Delicious! Food is the bomb! The service is even better than the ambience of unreal! What are you waiting for? Give them a call and order something scrumptious. Just thinking about it make my mouth water! A true gem! read more

This restaurant is my all-time favorite!!!!! Everything about it is excellent. They always remember us when we come in. We brought some friends by Saturday and they were very welcomed. read more

We went for their famous high tea on weekend during brunch. The tea is delicately prepared and well presented. The tower of high tea goodies is a good portion and a delight to consume. The clotted cream portion they served along the scones was very little. We asked for more and were served more thankfully. It was a great experience that I would recommend. read more

Came here for a family dinner a few months ago; had great attentive service (it wasn't too busy in the restaurant at the time) and enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered to share: Crispy Duck Confit Salad, Charred Spanish Octopus, and the Crispy Tempura Fried Shrimp. Everything was delicious! A table favorite was the Bacchus Bread because they came with different kinds of bread and dips/spreads to eat them with. For the entrees, we ordered a chicken, pasta, and braised short rib also to share. We got the Harvest Apples Flambé for dessert just because we knew they come to the table to make the apples flambe in front of you :) Overall really enjoyed the dinner and restaurant interior! I personally felt the service was a little too performative - nothing inappropriate or bad, but you know the difference between genuine service hospitality and when someone might be laying on the smiles and happy tones a little too strong. There was also one mistake with our bill that double charged us (two bottles of wine instead of one), but we went back and they corrected their mistake immediately. Also wanted to give a small shout out to the bartender who came by to talk to us about their drink menu and got us some great cocktails and had some good conversation with us! read more

We chose this restaurant for our wedding anniversary dinner/date night. We were impressed by its quaint atmosphere (twinkle lights and vintage cinema projected on silent in the background). Apparently they're known for their afternoon tea services, but their seasonally rotating dinner menu is top notch! I had the duck and my husband had the lamb. Both were exceptionally delicious. Their fresh breads are so yummy too. We had a few cocktails and wine with dinner. No complaints there. The server was probably the best I've ever had. He was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I remembered his name! We will definitely be back, and recommended this place to our friends and family too. They have a masquerade happening for Halloween that we may attend. read more

The service here is phenomenal. All the staff made sure that our experience here was the best it could be. We enjoyed some hot tea on a raining evening with some dinner. The tea and cheese plate with that amazing bread and was really all we needed but we ordered an appetizer and entrée to split. The first bolognese came out pretty peppery and spicy but we told the staff and they made us a fresh one that was delish and tasted like a completely different dish than the first one. This is such a cute place for a fancy evening dinner but I really can't wait to come back for the high tea! read more

I do not give out 5 stars much, but this place was perfect! We came in for The Chef's Table! It was divine! Chef came out to ask about allergies and how we liked our meat cooked, then he went to do his magic! We had dinner with wine, and the pairings were made in heaven! From the first course to dessert, the food and presentation were perfect! The Host, and owner, John and his wife, were very gracious! John is the sommelier - that's fancy talk for he really studied his wine! Service was on point! I felt like I was in the dining scene of Beauty and the Beast, the food and wine kept coming! With each course, Chef would come out and explain each dish! He made the simplest ingredients shine like jewels! Now, it's called Chef's Table, not Your Table! Each course was a surprise! We did not know what he was concocting back there! I do not want to tell you exactly what we had, because you will have a different menu. I did add a couple of photos, I lost count after 2 courses, I think there were 6. Chef's Table is what his heart feels like making. And, my family, and I, felt his love. I had tears in my eyes! You can really feel that the folks there like being there! The restaurant is immaculate! The bathrooms are super clean! The music throughout the place was just right - enjoyable! They also have a full service bar! Valet parking is $15 - just do it, the surrounding area is residential and parking can be a challenge. Dinner was spectacular! I am eager to experience their Afternoon Tea! read more

If I could give Chez Bacchus 10 stars vs. 5 it is with no doubt well deserved. From the moment I walked in the restaurant to the time I left I received the most amazing service, other diners did as well per my observation. I had been wanting to try the afternoon tea so I made a reservation and had the opportunity to do so. Melissa who was the waiting staff server was so kind and explained the tea selection. She also asked me and other diners as we were seated did we have any food allergies? I truly appreciate this because I do suffer from food allergies, luckily nothing listed on the tea menu yay ! The tea sandwiches, scones , pastries etc are made in house by the chef (not store bought ). I had the Egyptian rose tea which was divine . Of course I ordered a white sangria also . The afternoon tea service was amazing everything was delicious! Service was excellent 10 stars , Melissa was a class act (classy). The ambiance of Chez Bacchus is very nice/elegant , love the decor , large windows and set up . I parked on the street (directly across from the restaurant) which worked out fine for me. I definitely will return and would like to try dinner or brunch . I highly recommend Chez Bacchus. read more

High Tea is served weekend afternoons! Very special! Very nice setup. Elegant with different China patterns on each table. Very nice selection of loose teas served in a glass pot (and water refilled as needed). Tower of goodies, nice presentation and also very tasty. We were beyond full! Very nice and relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends. Our server was so mice and helpful. Very attentive and checked on us often. We are definitely going back for High Tea and also bringing our husbands for dinner! read more

Food and service was above average. Not sure I will need to go there again. We were over-charged an extra $100+ on our bill, that we had to have the manager to handle for us. Took him about 20 mins. read more

A friend wanted to check this place out because of the positive reviews, but the experience was a disappointment overall. We had to send back the sea bass because the flavors of each element were off and the fish did not taste fresh. The "beignets" were very doughy and dense like poorly made doughnuts. Even the cocktails left much to be desired. For the price, I would rather venture over to LA for a nice dinner. read more

We came here for my cousin's 40th birthday, excited as longtime afternoon tea lovers. The ambiance was beautiful, servers elegant, and drinks enjoyable -- but the food and service did not live up to expectations. First impressions: The atmosphere is beautiful, elegant, and welcoming. The servers looked polished in their fascinators, which added to the classy vibe. We were seated right away and offered flat or sparkling water, which was a nice touch. Drinks were also promising -- I especially enjoyed my peach bellini. The food: We ordered two individual towers ($65 each) plus a bread basket. Unfortunately, the food presentation did not match the quality. The scones were dry, the chocolate chips overbaked, and the sandwiches were skimpy -- we literally received half a sandwich. The quiche was okay, the crostini chewy and cold, and the fruit tart was served in a wafer shell instead of pastry, which gave it a store-bought feel. I had asked for a boiled egg sandwich (since the menu said eggs any style were available), but what came out was a tiny round piece of bread with some scrambled egg on top -- For the price point, we were expecting high-quality, memorable finger foods, but instead it felt more like style over substance -- beautiful from afar but disappointing up close. The service & billing: Service was just okay. We had to request basics like milk and sugar, which should be standard at a tea service. What really soured the experience, though, was the billing issue. My cousin had paid a $100 deposit, which we were told would be applied to the bill. Instead, the system charged us the full amount without deducting it, leaving us with an extra $100 charge. Staff explained it was due to a new point-of-sale system and promised a refund within 3-5 business days. Regardless, it felt careless and unprofessional -- especially on a milestone birthday. Overall: Ambiance and drinks were the highlights. But the food was underwhelming, service lacked attentiveness, and the billing mishap left a bad impression. For $65 per person, we expected a polished high tea experience. Unfortunately, this one fell short, and it was disappointing to have such a lackluster celebration for such an important occasion. read more

I loved this place! Amazing service and delicious food. I came in on a rainy Saturday night and sat at the bar -- the team was incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly. I started with one of their whiskey cocktails, then had a glass of Albariño along with the octopus and scallops. Everything was perfectly prepared and so flavorful. I really enjoyed the night and will definitely be coming back! read more

I had an amazing tea date with my friends this last Saturday! They host tea time only on the weekends from 12-3pm. Recommend to make reservation. They had limited openings due its popularity. The decor was elegant, the waiters had amazing outfits to match the theme of tea time, the introduction to their tea menu was definitely done differently compared to other places I have attended. I was not expecting to like this place this much and their price was more affordable compared to other places I have attended. I will be coming back later this month with my mom and sister and I can't wait to re experience it . read more

What a gem. And a little hidden. Tucked away in the neighborhood just outside downtown is this restaurant that is much better than it needs to be. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Great wine selection, nice bar and nicely decorated. Food and service is excellent. This place is vying for a Star and not for nothing, they might get one. But what do I know. I know we had a great dinner with some nice wine here and am pretty sure you will too. Parking is a little challenging but apparently they have a valet who called in sick the night we were there. read more

Chez Bacchus absolutely blew us away. The halibut was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the flat iron steak was tender, juicy, and beautifully presented. We also had their espresso martinis--easily some of the best we've had anywhere. The ambiance was just as impressive--elegant yet relaxed, with the perfect lighting and music to set the tone for a great night out. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was the service. It was hands down the best service I've experienced at any restaurant in Long Beach in a very long time. Attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Chez Bacchus has definitely earned a spot at the top of our list, and we can't wait to come back. read more

We took a friend for High Tea at Chez Bacchus. It was the first time to visit this restaurant and we were very pleased by the experience. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Melissa's style and expertise were a highlight to the whole event! The tea options were many, something for every one. It was especially nice for each of us to have our own pot. The sandwiches and pastries were very nice. My favorite was the mini mushroom quiche. Highly recommend for a personalized and elevated tea experience. read more

Lovely spot in Long Beach for a nice fancy dinner. Parking was a bit tricky to find but were able to find a spot on the street a couple blocks away. I believe there is also valet parking but we didn't see the sign for it when driving by. I had the best martini here. It was called their special martini but I think it was basically a vesper since it had a mix of vodka and gin. Bread was $10 which was on the pricey side but it tasted so fresh and came with a variety of flavors. My favorite was the spiced sourdough. We also got garlic on the side to top the bread which was quite tasty. For our other appetizer, we got octopus which was cooked well and a good sized portion. For my entree, I got lamb. Usually steakhouses serve lamb chops or lamb shank but this felt more like a beef filet mignon so a bit heartier. The lamb was cooked perfectly and loved the sides as well. Would definitely come here again for a special occasion. read more

We were invited to an event promoting their new cocktail menu and it was really great. The atmosphere here is always nice, formal, white tablecloth setting. A great place for a nice date night that you get to dress up for. They recently got their liquor license, so in addition to a great wine selection, they have unique and delicious cocktails. We had the Sir Davis Old Fashioned and the Queen Bee. Both were excellent, though the old fashioned was definitely a front runner for my taste. We also tried the small bites, charcuterie board and ahi bites. Loved the variety of flavors! We really enjoyed our time and look forward to coming back for a dinner evening. read more

Chez Bacchus - Lamb neck and steak with frites. Plus bread and garlic - New American Near Me - Long Beach, California

Charming restaurant that's perfect for a date or meeting up with friends. We went with a group of 4 for brunch at around 11am. The owners (husband and wife) were so friendly and took great care of us! We ordered the Sadie's seasonal pastries, chilaquiles, chile verde, and fried chicken + buttermilk biscuits, and 2 sides of bacon. The pastries we delicious! Super flavorful and tasted really fresh. The chile verde was not very hot when it came out, but still had excellent flavor. The chilaquiles were very tasty and the chipotle sauce had great depth! I ordered the chilaquiles with fried eggs instead of scrambled, and they accidentally brought out scrambled, but it was an easy fix. The fried chicken resembled chicken strips/fingers vs a traditional chicken breast/thigh. For our drinks we originally ordered 4 bloody Mary's, but we were later told they only had enough mix to make 3. The mix was super flavorful though and is made by one of their cooks! We ordered a fiero spritz in lieu of the 4th Bloody Mary, but they ended up bringing us something completely different with no real explanation... Overall, it's a charming spot with fresh bites. We may have just visited on an off morning. Hope to visit again in the future! read more

Five stars for Chez Bacchus! Jen and I had dinner there last night and loved every minute. We started with "The City's Best Martini" and a French 75--both prepared to perfection. The house bread service with roasted garlic, butter, olive oil, and balsamic was delicious and set the tone for the meal. We shared the octopus appetizer, then both had the duck confit for dinner. The duck was cooked perfectly--crispy skin, tender meat, and full of flavor. We finished with the banana cream pie for dessert, which was the ideal sweet ending. The wine list is excellent, the service impeccable, and every staff member--right down to the valet--was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the experience so much we changed Jen's birthday dinner plans from 555 Steakhouse so we can come back to Chez Bacchus with friends. Highly recommend! read more

Went on my birthday. Simply amazing! Some of the best food I have eaten. Expensivey, but worth every dime! I'll be back!..

Decided to try this because our original plans were cancelled. We were very disappointed to see that the service was very slow. The table that came after us about 15 minutes was served before us and the waiters didn't give us napkins or milk and sugar (we had to request it) while other tables didn't need to ask. The staff was kind, but they were not as accommodating as we had hoped. The food was also very very sweet. We ordered Bacchus tower and everything was overwhelmingly sweet. The butternut squash soup was so sweet it felt like our throats were coated in honey, little to no flavor of the actual squash, the quiche was cold and flavorless, but the ham sandwich with arugula wasn't half bad. The middle tier with scones and muffins were cold in the middle and seemed almost underbaked. The final top tier was the sweetest out of all of them. The cake pops were so dry, but was incredibly sweet as if they dumped a bucket of frosting into it. The cake pops disintegrated off the stick as soon as we bit into it. The meringues which are usually supposed to be light, airy, and crispy, were extremely sticky which again appeared undercooked. Finally, the milk pudding with the persimmon wasn't half bad and had good milky flavor without being too overly sweet with the persimmon. The tea selection was good. We tried 3 different teas. Would recommend the Rose tea. read more

Ok wow wow wow wow wow. My whole philosophy on reviewing places here on Yelp is: a place only gets a review from me if it earns five stars. Well well well this restaurant not only gets five stars, I wish there were more stars to give it. What an experience! This is not just your average restaurant, this is attention to detail, attention to service, attention to authentically connecting with the customer. Our server knew so much about wine and food. It was so exciting and filled me with happiness. I have been to other places before that have earned a five star and they were well-deserved. However, this restaurant not only had amazingly delicious food, It had the best service that I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Well worth the price. In my dream I live here for every meal for the rest of my life!! My new happy place. read more

I am predicting that Chez Bacchus is going to be the next restaurant in Long Beach to earn a Michelin Star! Their service is outstanding and consistent. Knowledgeable sommeliers are on deck to suggest the best pairings and match your preference. If the owner is there and the chef is available, they will greet or serve you and check to see how your experience is. They have a very extensive wine list from all over the world. Prices vary and are reasonable. They also serve cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks as well. When I went a while back, I loved the exotic dishes they had like wild boar meatballs and ostrich! Now, with a new chef, the menu seems more refined, but with a few items for the adventurous eater. To start, my husband and I shared the Autumn Salad ($16) and Wagyu Beef Cheek Pot Pie ($30). The salad was a decent size, with a zesty pomegranate vinaigrette. The pot pie, on the other hand, was pretty small. However, the crust was light and flakey and the Wagyu cheek melted in our mouths. For our entrees, we shared the Barramundi ($41) and Long Beach Mushroom Risotto ($36). Skin on with a crispy char, the fish was tender inside and cooked to perfection. Chez Bacchus gets their mushroom (and other produce) right here in our backyard farms! I loved all the veggies that were in the creamy risotto. Unfortunately, we didn't leave room for dessert, but I would like to try the Bananas Foster next time! It's quite entertaining to watch them make it too! I would also like to return with my friends for their Afternoon Tea. Street parking or valet is available. I didn't need reservations on a Sunday night, but might be wise to make one during peak times on the weekends. read more

Came here for a final date night before our first baby arrives! My husband and I wanted to go out with a bang and this was the place to do it. The ambiance is very romantic and beautiful inside. The service is top notch, we talked to our server, the owner, the chef, the bartender, everyone! The bartender made me the most delicious mocktail after coming over to talk to me about the drinks, it was so lovely! I highly suggest the fallen apple as a mocktail if you don't or can't drink! We really felt appreciated and noticed, thank you! We ordered the octopus, the duck and the wagyu beef cheek. My favorite was the octopus, I loved how crispy the outside was with a perfectly soft center, not chewy at all. My husband loved the beef cheek pot pie. It had a rich, bold wine sauce flavor that was scrumptious. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening here and highly suggest this spot for a special night out, it is very memorable! read more

I attended a work related event at Chez Bacchus (see photo of menu). I wanted to love everything but the food fell short for me. The duck confit salad was fine and the flavors worked well together but the duck strips were very roasted and texture was almost like dried duck jerky strips. The roasted filet mignon was tender and delicious but the portion size was half of my fist - maybe 2 oz. Mine was cooked medium rare, which was perfect, but my neighbor requested medium and hers was very rare. I enjoyed my filet very much, however - just wish there was more of it. The butter cake was a full portion but I did not taste much butter in it. It was also on the drier side. A few people and I left still hungry and I picked up takeout to munch on. However, the service was fantastic and the owner and chefs were very nice and hospitable. read more

Holy cow! 10 stars if we could. I booked this place is an anniversary dinner after recommendation for one of my clients. Little did I know, my SO proposed to me the week prior, so it became a celebratory dinner as well. First off, our reservations were for chefs table at 6:30 PM on Saturday night. We left Huntington Beach at 5:50 roughly, but got stuck in so much traffic off PCH. I called in right before 630 to let them know. Reina was so kind and told us there was no issues. She just stress that we should drive safely and get there OK. John introduced himself first. I didn't know he was one of the owners. I just knew he was our sommelier. We ended up with a six course meal plus wine pairing. Chef Danny, John, and all the servers were so kind to us. When chef, Danny asked S what her favorite dish was we honestly could not tell him. I felt so terrible because I loved everything. We ate so much! I cannot stress enough that you should definitely go for the bread bowl! When I first read the reviews on it, I thought it was a joke. It came with our food as part of the chef's table. My fiancé and I both agree that it is the best bread we've ever had. It is made with a starter that chef Danny got in 2020. If you can, go for the chef's table! It was an unforgettable experience, and we will definitely be back. We were lucky the other group canceled so we were the only two in a private room by ourselves. Super spoiled because chef Danny even sat to talk with us about some of his food too! read more

Extremely disappointed. There were 6 of us and each ordered a tier at $65/person but they only brought out 2, expecting us to share them, meaning we each only got one of every item on the tier. The scones were dry, and the desserts were all dry except for the panacotta. Service was good, but it's not worth the price at all read more
