A wonderful dining experience from start to finish! Incredible wines paired with absolutely brilliant renditions of Cheesy Brazilian Bread, Seared Foie Gras, Bread Service, Cheeses (especially the Parmigiano), Rohan Duck, and desserts - all fantastic. The combination of flavors in the Foie Gras was outstanding, with it being one of the best, of many, I have ever had. We also had the supplemental White Asparagus which was also marvelous. A great winelist, good service, and exceptional cuisine, all create a world-class dining experience not to be missed!

Bacchanalia in Buckhead is a premier dining destination, and my recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. The food was exquisite, but the unexpected "surprises" between courses truly elevated the meal into a memorable experience. A massive thank you to our server, Carmen, whose friendly demeanor and expert recommendations made the night; the entire staff was incredibly welcoming without being stuffy. If you're looking for world-class cuisine paired with top-tier hospitality, this is the spot.

$140 pre-fix menu, 4 courses: appetizer, main, cheese, dessert, with canapés, bread service, sides, palate cleanser, and petit four served in between and at opening & closing. Bacchanalia recently changed its signature tasting menu, from $125 to $140 and upgraded many of the signature dishes. Brazilian cheesy bread (8/10): solid & comparable to Brazilian steakhouses; better when served hot and fresh Canapes (7/10): fine, the foi gras mousse was the best First: - Lobster (9/10): poached whole lobster served cold in a Japanese dashi and peas - Steak tartare (7/10): removed chips, portion is a bit small Bread service (6/10): expected way more from them since they have a cafe / bakery; bread service before was better Main: - Ny strip (9/10): well executed, potato was the highlight - Rohan duck (8.5/10): duck breast was cooked perfectly, cabbage was below expectations - Complementary sides: carrots & collard greens (5/10) Cheese (both are star of the menu!) - Brilliant-savarin (8.5/10): natural sour and sweet from the strawberry - Valserena Parmigiano (9.5/10): wow that was special… an experience! A mix of flavors: sour and depth from the black garlic, saltiness and umami from the parmigiano, and light sweetness from the granola with various texture combinations, will always remember the dish! Palate cleanser: - lemon tart (8/10): coconut flakes and lime skins were nice touches! Dessert: - soufflé (5.5/10): grapefruit was fine but didn’t balance well with the rest of the dish… - chocolate (8.5/10): another strong dish, Mexican dark chocolate was the star Petit 4: Madelines, chocolate truffles, candy (7/10): fine Service (9/10): great, very professional and attend to needs quickly Environment (8.5/10) —— Total: 8.7/10 Overall, would agree that Baccanalia is a top 5 restaurant in Atlanta and one of the best in the South!

Bacchanalia delivered a truly exceptional dining experience. We went on a Friday evening for an early reservation, and one thing I immediately appreciated was the self parking option. It was refreshing not being forced into valet like many of the higher end restaurants around Atlanta. The customer service was phenomenal and genuinely elevated the entire evening. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the tasting menu experience feel very intentional and well paced. I really enjoyed being able to try a variety of dishes through the tasting menu format. For the first course, the crab fritter was incredible. We also had the Maine lobster, which was good, but it felt like it was missing a little depth of flavor compared to everything else. For course two, we had the scallops and the dry aged New York strip. The scallops were very well executed. The New York strip was good, but slightly tougher than expected, which was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the meal. For course three, the Brillat Savarin was excellent and a great transition into dessert. Then for course four, the Ellijay apple dessert was exceptional and a perfect way to end the meal. They also bring out several additional bites throughout the tasting, which adds a really nice surprise element to the experience. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the creativity of the tasting menu, Bacchanalia is absolutely worth visiting. I would gladly dine here again.

Went for a birthday dinner. It's is a fixe prix and be prepared for a 3 1/2 hour dinner. The portions were small but they give you a bit of in between palette cleanser. The fixe prix is pricey but we've had others that were definitely more $$$$. What they get you on is the supplemental add-ons and drinks. One glass of Chablis was $38. The courses were a bit long in between and we had the first seating at 5:30 pm. The service was nice and professional but not really overly friendly considering the price and Michelin rating. Also. They don't do the happy birthday singing and the pastry chef doesn't write happy birthday well... I understand they're not the grocery store bakery but it was terrible.
