    We were in Buffalo to attend a medical mission for me at Roswell Park. The news we got there wasn't great and we were in a funk. MY idea was to go to Bacchus and have a pleasant experience. We did indeed have a very "pleasant experience"! I had been there three times before, but my partner had not. As soon as we walked in our funk disappeared! We experienced a much lighter mood by the time we reached our table, and had wonderful, spontaneous interactions with the wait staff! We loved our waitress! She made us feel so comfortable and welcome! Our "blues" by this time were far behind us and we were looking forward to drinks and dinner! I had the "Bacchus Manhattan" [made exactly as noted on the menu]. She had a Perfect Manhattan. Both were perfectly made, with attention to detail! For an appetizer we shared the artichoke, which was unusual for us, but it turned out to be enjoyable...For an entree she got the pork, and I ordered the tuna. Both dishes were perfectly cooked, with remarkable attention to detail! The glaze on my Tuna was an amazing combination of flavors magically blended to excite and please the senses. The creme brulee dessert (my favorite) was the very best I've ever tasted ! A big THANK YOU to all at Bacchus for an incredible experience!!!

    Visited last night for our anniversary dinner and it was perfect start to finish. Our waitress was so friendly and started us off with a congratulatory glass of wine which was delicious. The food was excellent and we had such a fun time we will be back!

    We had a dinner at Bacchus with a group of 6 to celebrate a new chapter for our 2 freshmen at UB. What an absolutely amazing restaurant! From the service and atmosphere to the food and drinks, everything was top-notch! A perfect 10 all around. Very impressive!
