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!

The service is top-notch; the staff are super friendly and attentive. The ambiance is cozy and elegant, making it a great place for a special night out. Bacchanalia truly lives up to its Michelin star, maintaining high standards year after year.

Absolutely unreal! The best meal and experience we've had in Atlanta- the Michelin star makes total sense. The food was unique and well balanced, the service was excellent and the wine pairing was perfect. They were also incredibly accommodating with our allergies, which we all really appreciated.

Had an incredible meal here with my friend who went to all the Michelin restaurants with me in Chicago. It is a prix fixe menu, but you have multiple options for each course. They also have wine pairings for each option of each course, which we had all of. Every bite was delicious! The service was lovely, and the restaurant itself is really beautiful. They def deserve their star, and I will certainly be back! This review is about a month late so unfortunately I don't remember the names of all the items, but I remember they were worth coming back for!

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.

This was a wonderful experience! My first time in ATL and I was lucky enough to get reservations! Place is usually booked up for months. My sister flew into town to surprise me and she had called the restaurant to see if she could get a table and surprise me. They were all booked up. My sister told it was my birthday and they squeezed her in. My wife and I got there first and we were seated. My sister snuck in after and surprised me. The hostess and restaurant knew and they played it off perfect! I was totally surprised, the service and how they went out of their way to make my birthday special was amazing. Now to the food it was an amazing 4-5 course meal! Every palate of my tongue was touched! Some I enjoyed more than others but the Michelin star well deserved! Loved the decor and the staff were very knowledgeable.

My first starred experience in ATL Going into this place - the one resounding - almost ubiquitous feedback I heard from the few lucky enough to dine here is "you get great food, but not a lot of it" Im shutting that fallacy down right now. Maybe Atlantans aren't ready for a Michelin starred restaurant of this caliber if they truly believe that. This place will stuff you to the gills. Don't let a four course prix fixe menu fool you. The sleek, mid century modern decor is sure to emanate a sense of arousal when first walking in. I decided to go with the fois gras terrine, duck breast, kurst cheese, and chocolate dessert as my prix fixe but ended up layering in the ova classic caviar course because why the hell not. I wasn't really celebrating anything - but came to the conclusion that almost anything is worth celebrating. I'll be honest. Every course, including the surprise courses of profiteroles, amuse-bouche, complimentary side courses, and petit fleurs at the end were absolutely divine. If you're looking for a paradigm shifting culinary gut punch you CANNOT skip the duck course. The only dish I would change is the Kurst cheese with Belgian endive. While I'm personally a fan of excessive bitterness - I could totally see how this could be off putting to an unsuspecting diner. I can say rather sanguinely that I disproved the myth that you leave this place hungry. Quite frankly I have a low degree of confidence that I'll even be able to eat lunch tomorrow after this phenomenal dinner. Come here and come HUNGRY. If you leave this establishment and end up going to Krystal after you deserve any harsh judgement that comes your way. And I'm saying that as someone who would panhandle hard on MARTA for Krystal burgers.

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.
