I've been here a few times both for brunch and dinner. I love the hanger steak with the peppercorn and shallot sauces, which is both on the brunch and dinner menus. I've also had the crab salad and a few of the desserts. Everything is … More

Got tons of compliments because of how naturally pretty it is on its own — string lights and lanterns are really a vibe especially at night! We were looking for a more intimate and casual setting rather than a more formal wedding in a reception hall and we fell in love with the food and the place going for dinner one night. Service was great on the night of and communication beforehand was top notch. Meryl was incredibly helpful with the logistics and provided not only reccomendations on vendors but also how to optimize the space (due to our large guest count). They were receptive to our thoughts and ideas of how we wanted the night to go and how it would fit with their space. They also lent us a projector to play a game and provided some of the decor (small candles, lanterns, and hanging linens). Overall they’re a well-oiled machine with the best food (3 course plated meal) — they’re a restaurant after all! 100% would reccomend duck confit. Our wedding coordinator said that we were given a very good price for the superb level and quality of service that was included. Overall, the staff are lovely and shows how passionate they are about making our big day wonderful -- would rate this a 100 out of 10 experience. Regardless if you’re looking to have your wedding here or not — 100% you should come here in a regular day have dinner here!!! My husband and I sometimes just drop by to eat (p.s. don’t think about it and just get the bread and butter). Super accessible by train! :) We come all the way from Flushing -- that's how yummy their food is :P Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I’ve been going to Bacchus for some time now, but today they made my engagement truly unforgettable. My boyfriend proposed here, and he shared how Meryl made the entire surprise engagement seamless and stress-free. I’m forever grateful to have been able to share such a special moment with my family at this incredible place. I cannot recommend Bacchus enough for any event—party, birthday, engagement, or celebration of any kind. The staff is absolutely amazing, and this place is truly special.

Had the wedding of my dreams at Bacchus! Everyone was absolutely incredible with both their service and attention to detail. We had a big group of about 100 guests but everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the food. Both us and all of our guests couldn’t be more grateful for such a special night! Can’t wait to return in the future for dinner :) Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Seating type Indoor dining area, Bar area, Outdoor patio / terrace, Booth seating, Private dining room Parking space Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options Paid street parking Wheelchair accessibility Ramp available to outdoor seating area
