Bacchanalia

Love the food here! Excellent staff and food makes every trip here enjoyable and memorable. Even enjoy coming to lunch to grab a sandwich and cupcake. I tell all my friends to come here for special events, even enjoy saving my menu and looking over it at a later date, so I can enjoy the meal again!

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. Everything was amazing. Perfectly proportioned, well-cooked, delicious. Plus, they brought us an extra dessert because it was our anniversary. You won't be disappointed here. It's expensive but worth it.

I have been going to Bacchanalia for years. The food and staff are consistently excellent. My only complaint is that I would like to see a little more variety on the menu. I recommend this restaurant to people all the time. Great food and service.

This restaurant is great. As soon as we arrived, we were taken to a table without waiting a single moment. Upon seating at the table, a menu is presented. The server asks if there are any questions and then lets you have a little time to decide what you want to order. This is a prix fixe menu, so your whole meal is ordered before you get a course, so that the chef can time your meal impeccably. Between courses, "gifts from the chef" were presented to me, and these could be anything from the most ethereal cheeseball to a bright asparagus soup that wakes one up. It should be pointed out that wile this restaurant has 5-star quality food, the atmosphere is not pretentious at all. I felt as if I could put my elbows on the table and savor the food without worrying about having to conform to a strict code of conduct. The waiters are attentive but not obtrusive, so one can focus on the food and not annoyances from waiters. Initially, I did not think that I would like the cheese course, but I loved the strawberries with stochionno cheese and truffled honey, so, yes, this place is that good! And, at the end of the night, the restaurant gives you a souvenir so that you can savor the tastes of bacchanalia for at least one more night: a freshly baked baguette from Star Provisions!

We had a great experience at Bacchanalia. The food was exquisite. The chef sends out these dinner favors from gourmet cheese balls torabbits liver.I did the 4 course pre-fixe. The crab fritter appetizer was the highlight of my dining experience. A pure delicacy. Main course was the lobster. While good, I wont yearn for it like I will for the crab fritter. I think the onions were a turn off for me. I went with the buffalo cheese and fresh tomato varietals as a 3rd course. Above average good but not the best I've had. For dinner I had the Ellijay Apple something which was very good as well but I could have used more ice cream. All in all the food was very good, but I think they earn their reputation by their service which is the best I've ever experienced. They had a team of people in rotation that was perfectly there and not there to meet our desires.EpilogueAlso sampled was their oysters with caviar sprinkles. Very nice though for oysters, I recommend Aspens in Acworth. They have to have the best cheese selection in Atlanta. We did some cheese pairings from some selections of over 20 cheeses from a zoo's worth of animals. I've never been a liver fanand that's no different for Bugsthough paired with whatever they put it with was good. Lastly, I wasn't impressed with the architecture. The experience and the food definitely warrant the price....
