Our experience was quite nice. The staff was extremely friendly and respectful. Food was outstanding. Eva and Neil were our servers and they were top-notch. Only minor complaints were we were seated next to a semi-loud group even though the restaurant was mostly vacant when we dined, and the table we were at was pushed in very tight to the wall. We probably could have requested to move but it wasn’t that bad.
Music was interesting but not offensive. Had some old rock and some newer indie stuff playing which didn’t match the restaurant’s vibe, but I personally enjoyed it.

Delicious experience for my first night in Milwaukee! Still struggling to choose my favorite dish from the chefs tasting menu: it’s a tie between the scallop and the Wagyu strip loin! I highly recommend Bacchus to anybody that’s looking for a delicious culinary getaway!

We both felt that this was one of the best meals we've ever had. I had the Wayagu and my husband had the venison. They were both very tender. The watercress soup and apple salad were great. The hazelnut cake with chocolate was exquisite. We've eatten here before and will eat here again.
