My husband booked our reservation at Bacchus for Valentines Day several weeks back, and apparently, they were almost fully booked, so I was looking forward to this meal since the restaurant appeared to have a following. Server was very unhappy and snippy. I don't know if it was because she was working on Valentines day, or whether it was because she was single amongst lots of couples..... Who knows, either way, we found her abrupt the entire meal. She didn't warm up one bit. Bread was ok, cold rolls. Caesar salad had good dressing, but they must have been rationing it last night, because our salads were almost dry. Dressing was nothing like Tobacco Co! My dinner was ok. I ordered a herb/garlic pasta dish, and my husband, the ahi tuna. He thought the tuna was fantastic, and LOVED it. My pasta was just like any pasta I've had anywhere though. I'm not exactly daring when it comes to experimenting with odd foods, which is why I had the pasta. I had other choices such as duck, quail, etc... But I like to stick with my filets, which they had none. Did not have many wines by the glass. About one per type of wine. Dessert was on the house for Valentines Diners, but I didn't care for it (a fluffy cheesecake dish), so I passed. All in all, it was so-so. The ambience was decent. Like that of a typical urban restaurant lacking space. However, they apparently have a lot of patrons, so they must have been doing something right. We just didn't see it in our experience. I will not be returning probably.
Pros: ......husbands tuna?
Cons: salad, service, blah everything
