We came here to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived a few minutes before our Saturday evening reservation and were seated promptly. We had a main server for the night and another one who were both pleasant. When we asked for explanations on the menu they explained them well. We sat close to the staging area curtains so I'll say the ambiance was ok. My one gripe from the night is that our drinks from the bar too long way too long. We ordered them before we placed our menu order and did not receive them until right before our third course, which was when our wine came out. So, I preferred to drink the wine pairing with the duck and saved my drink, which of course tasted watered down. Overall, while the food was good, nothing stood out to me as memorable. I also think the courses could've came out a little closer together. A dinner for two took almost 3 hours. The best taste of the night was my husband's lobster in Thai sauce, it was excellent! Check my pictures, the duck was more chewy than what I'm used to. I won't rule out coming here again, but I'll come at a different time of year to experience different menu.

Bacchanalia is a lovely restaurant located in Westside. Elegant, yet simple. Frances will greet you at the door with a warm smile. The dining room is elegant, but casual and unpretentious. Bacchanalia knows who it is and doesn't try to be anything else. It is a set menu, but everyone will find something delightful. The cheeses are excellent and a lot of the vegetables come from their private farm. The bread service is usually four breads consisting of sour dough, pretzel, potato and rye, and a banquette. Two large dollops of local whipped butter topped with coarse sea salt accompanies the bread. There are about six choices in each of the course selections. The foie gras torchon is easily the best in town. The crab fritter has always been a favorite of our entire family. It is a crab fritter surrounded by petite avocado slices, grapefruit, Thai essence, and vanilla salt. For dessert, you cannot go wrong. They are all lovely, but the chocolate soufflé is a standout. You can follow up with a coffee or after dinner drink

This past weekend my husband & I celebrated 10 years together! Which is wild to think about. Over the past few years we have started to a really fun tradition of "collecting" experiences at Michelin Stared restaurants. While neither of us are particularly foody (I have a stomach condition so it makes the experiences extra interesting) but we love good ambiance & appreciate architecture and quality service. Bacchanalia recently received their first star and I have been wanting to experience this Atlanta institution since I was in high school. So I was VERY excited! The experience will consist of a 4 course menu. You'll have a few options to from for each course (I put a star next to what we chose in the photos) plus a bread course. As we were celebrating a special occasion, thy also gifted us a few extra special goodies in the form of a dessert, and a few extra goodies throughout the evening. A lot of comments I see on experience dining is that they leaving still hungry...and I promise you will be full when you leave. I was stuffed by the time we left. They balance the courses with a healthy starch addition (sides and breads) that supplement the selection you make. A particular stand out for us was the cheese course (3rd) and the crab (1st) Overall it was a phenomenal experience! 9/10! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Had recommendations & pairings ready to go. It's a beautiful space (a little dark at night fair warning) and food was phenomenal. I recommend asking many questions as the menue isn't particularly detailed and you may be a bit surprised when your meal arrives if you don't! Would absolutely recommend! On a separate note, parking as super easy (especially for Atlanta) & free. Lots of space for a Friday night (though our reservation was early)

A place that lives up to the hype. The service here was impeccable and the food all tasted great. I feel like the prices matched the food and service quality. I was there for my birthday and enjoyed every part of my experience. I can't wait to go back. The only thing I could say was that 4 courses takes a bit of time. I believe they are trying to let you enjoy your experience and not feel rushed or bombarded, but for me personally it could've went just a tad faster. That issue was minor though I had a great time.

The service here is impeccable. They walk you through every element of the menu and check in throughout the meal. You'll have several people supporting the meal and there are paired wine options to go along with each course. I don't think there is anyway to go wrong with this menu - each option within the four courses looked delicious and there were several additional surprises from chef! A fairly reasonable price for a tasting menu!

Wow, what an experience. This beautiful restaurant really is a cut above the rest. The service was just spectacular, and we were impressed that the pre-fixe menu had 5-6 options per course. It's four courses for $125, plus whatever you spend on drinks. I'm no foodie expert by any means, but this was such a fun and delicious experience. I had the crab fritter to start, which was so flavorful - the fritter was melt-in-your-mouth good with a sweet and spicy sauce. The lobster was to die for. I so rarely get to eat lobster, and there was an Asian sauce with it that I would drink. The cheese course was creative and fun - I had the parmigiana with a date cake - salty and sweet. And my chocolate dessert was like a little French silk pie on a cookie bottom - rich and also salty, which was surprising. They had little tiny surprise treats throughout the meal, including fresh sourdough and rolls. You can choose to do wine pairings, but we had cocktails. The Paloma was refreshing, and my husband had a tea-themed gin drink. Our other family members had wine, and they have a full journal of options and a sommelier to help you choose. The most random side note: the lights kept dimming and then coming back up. It was very confusing haha. However, this was a great experience for a special occasion. My first Michelin star experience!

I wanted to take my significant other somewhere nice they've never been for their birthday. I also have been wanting to come to bacchanalia for a while now and things just lined up. Let me preface by saying this has to be one of the best dining experiences. I've had in a very long time. We definitely got our moneys worth. Prior to coming. I did do some research because I was nervous about the portions and him being hungry afterwards, and that just was not the case at all. From the time I walked in to the time I left I was probably greeted by every single person that worked there. The service was immaculate and they really made us feel valued and seen and made sure we were pleased. I'd have to say I don't feel the ambience was overly done it felt very cozy and modern. So from the beginning, obviously we knew we wanted to do the four course tasting menu along with the wine pairing. So bear with me because I do not remember the names of any of the wines we had thoroughly enjoyed them all lol. For some reason, I ordered the oysters. I really wish I had not done that. I probably wouldn't have left so overly full. That was my fault but they were delicious so no regrets. They started us off with some airy popover type bread that came with a (I want to say Gruet) cheese dipping sauce. Omg they were so good! Somewhere in between the bread and oysters, we received an amuse bouche (for each of us) I can't recall specifically what they were but I know one of them had dried brisket, and that was my favorite. For our first course, my dinner companion got the crab fritter and I got the FL yellowfin tuna. Both were delicious however his was on another level of flavor! For our second course, he got the lamb which was Olive and pistachio crusted and came with a side of artichoke. I tried it and it was good just a little too gamy for me, but, I got the dry aged ny strip and that was the best steak i've ate in a long time. My partner still randomly talks about it to this day. With our second course came sides, one sautéed spinach and onions the other was seasoned tomatoes. For our third course, he got the red cow parmigiano and loved it, I got the cheese plate was very happy with my choice. It came with a different variety of cheeses, apples, honey, and some candied pecans. for our last course, I was trying to figure out the dish. Everyone was getting in the previous reviews because no one had a name for it so I ordered the coffee dessert. Turns out it was not the same as the previous reviews, but it was okay what I like most was in the middle was what tasted like Rice Krispies so I enjoyed the crunch part. My partner got the happy birthday. I think it was a sticky toffee cake. It was better than all the desserts on the table. It was delicious! He also got his fourth course the strawberry, whole-grain tart, with Matcha gelato I liked his better. Going back to the wine pairing we followed the suggestions of the Somalia. All of which were fabulous. I'll put my receipt if you're interested in knowing what those were. The whole dining experience was absolutely fabulous and I cannot wait until I can come back and experience it all over again.

I came here for the third time a couple weeks ago. Made a reservation well in advance for a special occasion. To be honest, I didn't remember the first two times I dined here because they were so long ago. So I was excited to render this as a relatively "new" experience. As you know, the location is in a unique industrial location at West Midtown - connected to Star Provisions and situated within some quiet greenery as the environs. Service is, as expected, top-notch. We were promptly seated to our table. The waiter was very patient in answering our multitude of questions and gave some great context around the dishes. We got the standard prix fixe, one using non-vegetarian options and one using vegetarian options. (For those who are so inclined, they also have vegan options available but not listed.) The dishes are small, but there are many...not just the 4 that are listed. In other words, don't be disappointed by the size of your first course. We started off with the yellow fin tuna and the mushroom. Again, not large - but flavorful. Afterwards were the lamb (very unique) and agnolotti. I usually try to avoid pasta at non-Italian restaurants, but this at least enjoyable and actually pretty filling. I should note that we received some greens and tasty side dishes during this process, so the amuse-bouches were very much appreciated (and certainly satiated us). Cheese was interesting to have as a standalone course, and dessert was of course delectable, particularly the chocolate option, along with an aesthetically pleasing coffee dessert. I look forward to going back.

A neat perfect experience in all ways! If we had remained with just the courses this would have been a 5 star review. We tried the Fruits de Mer and I would recommend passing. The price for what is received is not worth it. Very keen seafood eater here and not all the seafood tasted fresh. Nothing had gone bad but shellfish was all fishy, and you could even taste it through the various sauces. The shrimp was the best part - tasted fresh. The lobster roll was also a disappointment - way too much bread. Now onto the good parts - everything we chose for the 4 courses was delicious. From crab fritter, to mushroom tart, to duck, prime rib..everything was perfectly created to a tee. Loved all the little deliveries from the kitchen as well throughout the meal. We definitely were stuffed by the end. Definitely recommend and would come back. The restaurant itself is also gorgeous rustic chic.

During our visit to Atlanta, decided to check this place out after making a reservation. Appears that it got Michelin star in 2023 and long story short, they deserve the star. Having tried several Michelin star places, I think they have worked their way up in terms of taste and service over the course of many years per review. It is a four course meal for $125/pp and you get to choose a dish from each course. I highly recommend getting wine pairing as they really go well with the dish. My favorite was the crab fritter and scallop. Also, Perfect ambience for special occasion- recommend checking it out with your loved ones.
