Bacchanalia

This place is an institution, and it has earned its keep. The experience itself is absolutely top notch, but the quality and inventiveness of the cuisine does fall short of its peers. Flavors were often plain. Cheese course was a favorite. 5 stars for ambience, service, experience, longevity, and gravity

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.

Soaring food, desserts still not on the level of the first three courses, but that’s like saying a Porsche is not a Maybach.

A unique, rare, creative, and delightful experience. The menu takes you through a journey that challenges your expectations for flavor, texture, and presentation. Each course is an art piece display. I celebrated my birthday and it was an unforgettable memory. A once in a lifetime experience.

This was a top-3 domestic experience for us as we make our way through the guide of Mechlin-starred restaurants across the globe.

We enjoyed dining at the bar, which is our preferred seating, and we had a pretty early reservation before too many people arrived. It allowed us to get to know the bartender/server and take our time with the meal.

We really loved the model of the menu - four courses with the ability to add supplemental courses. We added caviar service, and the insanely good fruits de mer - a seafood tower complete with a mini lobster roll.

The pick-four menu allowed my wife and I to choose our own adventure, and every course was delicious, inventive and satisfying.

After our bottle of wine, we ended the night with a cocktail and called our Lyft, completely satisfied. The best Michelin-starred restaurant in Atlanta that we’ve experienced to-date. We will no doubt be back when we’re down for a Braves-Pirates game in the future.

We love the vibe here. Elegant, understated, professional with everyone dressed well and well mannered. Service is impeccable. Always attentive without being obvious. We unfortunately had a small time crunch due to a Fox show but we communicated and they accommodated it perfectly. The food is definitely Michelin quality. We’ve eaten at Michelin restaurants in Italy and they hold up. Layers of flavors and innovation. Just the right quantity as well. Well done. We will be back.
