There was not one dish I was served that I feel was worth the price…read more We had focaccia and tuna tartare as appetizers. The Margherita focaccia was by far the worst of the night, soggy and flavorless, the focaccia was nothing like a normal one. The tuna had a nice presentation though it was quite mediocre, the rice was hard in some parts and seemed quite old, the tuna itself was fine but the dish as a whole was maybe on par with sushi you'd get at a wegmans. As my entrée I got the carrot papardella, everything seemed overcooked, hardly any lobster and what little was happened to be tough and rather flavorless, of course it was the same with the shrimp and crab. The pasta was overcooked and stuck to itself and the sauce was quite sweet and far too hot, twenty minutes into the meal and it was still steaming, continuing to turn the dish into mush. The meal was for three people and came out to be $240 after tax and tip, the service was nice but considering the praise this restaurant got I'm sure it's went downhill. The highlight of the meal was the complementary bread at the start.

Had a lime though. Egg dipped Artichoke Hearts 8/10 I was surprised to see the plating structure of this. Everything was good. Vinaigrette went well with everything. less salad mix at the bottom would be nice. Twin Filet Mignon Beef Tournedos 8/10 Cooked perfect, both of them. Decent flavor too. The mushroom sauce was good. The horseradish cheese was shredded, which was very strange to have on a steak. I could have done with a creamier cheese, Gorgonzola, or just none at all. Potatoes were good, a chunky mash. Asparagus was cooked good, al dente and seasoned well. Special: 1/2 Rack Australian Lamb 9/10 Cooked perfect, probably one of the top three best in the Buffalo area. The crust was great, the sauce was really good, could taste the mint and raspberry, but it wasn't super sweet like you'd think.

I ordered the Rosemary Frites, which were a delicious appetizer. I had the maple salmon salad as my meal, and it was amazing! The chèvre was so fresh, the greens were great, and the salmon, wow! A delicious meal that I got two meals out of because I took half of it home, as it's a pretty large portion. Originally, I was given the wrong order that I couldn't have due to dietary restrictions, but the waitress was very kind and gave me the correct one, as well as taking it off of my bill. I really appreciated that! We got macarons as dessert and they were super yummy as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Coco, and it will be in my rotation of "special occasion" local restaurants going forwards!

My steak frites plate had a very large serving of French fries and a bit more salad with a few pickled onions. I ordered my steak medium rare. About 1/2 of it was medium rare. The other 1/2 was well done. The seasoning was very nice, but disappointed to have well done steak. Our waitress was nicely attentive, as was her assistant who kept our water glasses filled. The restaurant was quite busy, getting busier as we enjoyed our dinners. I am glad we had an early reservation. I might have missed this note on the menu or website, but there is a credit card usage surcharge. Luckily some of our party had enough cash.

I started off with a herbal sunrise, highly recommend if you like vodka! My son had the pear necessities. We ordered an app to share, as we were short on time. We went with the zucchini pizza bites! They were absolutely amazing!! Then we ordered food to go for later. We went with the chicken in the grass, the bourbon steak sandwhich and the buttermilk fried chicken. Everything was good. I loved that they put my sweet and sour slaw on the side so my sandwhich didn't get soggy. Let me tell you that sweet and sour slaw is the best slaw I've had!! You can add it to your burgers as well, now I know!! Absolutely enjoy this spot take out or eat in can't go wrong!

**Catered Event: Board of Directors' Dinner**…read more Numerous locals recommended Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant as an excellent choice for formal occasions, and it proved to be a wonderful venue for our Board of Directors' dinner. I hosted a dinner for twenty (board members and their guests) and was especially impressed by the catering manager, who patiently guided me through the many decisions involved in planning the event and personally welcomed me on the evening of the dinner. The waitstaff were attentive and seemed to anticipate our needs, and the private dining room was both relaxing and quiet. We chose the "King's Table," which allowed all twenty guests to sit together around one large table. The room and table settings were beautiful, creating an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. The event menu allowed me to select three salads, three entrées, and two desserts for our guests. Printed menus were placed at every setting, offering a gracious welcome and making the ordering process easy and efficient. I heard from many guests that their meals were excellent. I especially enjoyed the beet salad with goat cheese and the crème brûlée cheesecake. My filet mignon, unfortunately, was tougher than I had expected. The pecan-crusted salmon looked marvelous, and I found myself wishing I had chosen it instead. The pricing was also extremely reasonable for the quality of the setting, service, and overall experience. Each dinner was $85 and included a salad, entrée, and dessert. Bacchus provided a beautiful and memorable evening for our board, and I would gladly recommend it for a private dinner or formal gathering.

Corn season was in while we were here so we chose the totally unique corn waffle with arugula, chili, mushrooms. Divine. If we hadnt ordered more food we'd have licked the plate. The agnoloti wasnt your normal small hats but rather more interesting ravioli. But who cares it's shape--it was balanced, housemade pasta that made me very happy. The steak had that good crust and it wasnt your average steak house steak. It was as good but with different flavors. A great order.

We also got the meat street pizza which was fine. The low rating is mainly due to the prices because how much we paid and what we got was not equivalent at all. The dip was $16 and the pizza $26. Each should have been at least half of that. Overall it was disappointing and overpriced and we won't be returning.

The table had, blueberry poppyseed pancakes, French toast, bacon, The OG which was eggs, sausage/bacon with breakfast potatoes, and Creole biscuits and gravy. This is what I ordered it was jalapeno cheddar cornbread biscuit, chorizo gravy over eggs, which I don't eat so I held this off, BUT I added fried chicken breast. This plate of food was so delicious! I could of used some more heat, BUT the flavor was amazing. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy with great flavor. They cook the bacon crispy! The French toast was very good as well. Everyone at the table was pleased. We were celebrating a birthday so they gave us a choice of a dessert. We went with the lemon almond cake, and OMG it was delicious.
