Annie for sure, and her star with her amazing years of service and outstanding cuisine. It had been about six months since I have been to the restaurant and was thinking that after earning the Michelin star things may have changed, and they certainly have not . We have been following her throughout her three locations, and always enjoys special occasions that bacchanalia . Last night the service was outstanding on par with any restaurant in Atlanta, and also on par with any restaurant that is a one star in Europe. Make sure to have this on your special list and you won't be disappointed or go home hungry. She really is making people feel comfortable, not feel, rushed and experience a world-class meal .

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.

I'm going to need to explain a few things: I'm a country bumpkin at heart. I enjoy Bojangles biscuits, Coke zero, and heavily processed snack cakes. In the past few years, I've learned to cook, and I've gotten decent for a novice home cook. My wife is classy, though, and has convinced me that food should be quality over quantity, culminating in me looking forward to a Michelin star restaurant and thoroughly enjoying it! Back story done with, please excuse my lack of knowledge/memory about names of foods. The short version is that it was, hands down, the best meal I've ever had. It's different than the many great meals I've had around the world, but in a separate class for sure! The parking lot was empty when we got there, and we walked right into our reservation not long after opening. Our server and the sommelier were kind but not as engaging as I had assumed they might be, but they got everything we needed and were never in the way - the plus side of not being chatty, I suppose! The menu has enough variety that we found plenty of things we liked in each course, and we shared each dish for added variety. I had a rum old fashioned (mostly because they had no beer selection - major bummer for a bumpkin!), and my wife enjoyed a half bottle of one of her favorite wines. For the first course, we had the crab fritter and the mushrooms. The menu said the mushrooms had tofu, but I certainly didn't notice any (I'm a world-traveled bumpkin who married into a culture that enjoys tofu, so I was sad not to notice the tofu); regardless, the mushrooms were in stiff competition for being the greatest thing I ate all night, and I don't typically like mushrooms. For the second course, my wife ordered the scallops - the most delicious scallops I've ever had in my life, for whatever that's worth! I had the turbot, which was also great, but not nearly as perfect as the scallops. I had thought about doing the steak, but 4 oz? That would just make me hungry for steak! We kind of guessed on the cheeses, and the waitress wasn't particularly helpful in suggestions with the "everything here is good because it's a world-class restaurant" nonsense. I mean, yeah, we know why we came here, but we've not treated any of it, and you should have! Oh well. I didn't care for either cheese dish, in all honesty, but that means new choices next time! Dessert is where it got confusing! My wife got a small piece of yellow cake for her birthday, which was unexpected, but what I didn't expect was that my non-sweet-toothed wife far preferred the coffee dessert to the citrus souffle. She and I rarely fight over dessert because up until tonight the only one she liked enough to fight over was the caramel popcorn sundae at Canoe! I just gave her my dessert because I saw the look on her face after I insisted she try a bite. I'm not sure I'll ever order a different dessert if the coffee one is still on the menu. I also had the coffee at the end of the night, and it was a fantastic experience all around. This is all white noise - it's got a Michelin star, but it also has a bumpkin-turned-devotee, so I think they've got all their bases covered!

The food is amazingly good, well presented and the flavors are wisely combined in a very interesting way and presented with great art. The service is elegant, friendly and timely. The staff is knowledgeable , the ambiance is cozy, refined and appropriate for any type of occasion. If you are the type of person that truly enjoys gastronomy this is the place; however, remember that good quality and presentation is not cheap. The price per person -if you stick to the prefixed price- is not costly considering the variety of options your palate will enjoy in just one dinning experience; but, be careful getting too excited with the drinks and any other option out of the offer. Bottom line I enjoyed it very much and look forward on coming back! No pictures are posted of my dinner as I was too delighted with the food and made the decision to live the experience with all my senses and mind just focusing on my plates!

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.

.. next up, Bacchanalia. My bf made a reservation on a Wednesday evening to coincide with our anniversary. As they have continued to rise in prominence, reservations have understandably been harder to come by. From the moment we arrived to leaving, we were congratulated on our special occasion, which is a really nice touch. The Michelin star is certainly warranted. Ingredients, preparation, creativity, flavor profiles, extra items (amuse bouche, snacks sent by chef, etc.), service, all outstanding. That said, nothing that I ate was the best ever. I have a salt sensitivity and felt that the majority of the dishes reached the higher level of what would be considered normal for seasoning. I'm kicking myself for not selecting the egg dish in the first course. The beloved crab cake fritter missed the mark for me. I loved the fresh crab meat, but it was sitting atop a liquid that had a very funky fish sauce flavor that I couldn't get past. There was a farro side dish served with the main/second course that I found delicious. The cold sweet potatoes not so much. The course I enjoyed the most was the third/cheese. I had the BRILLAT-SAVARIN, the creamiest cheese paired with honey/comb and the most insanely good sourdough crouton. The crunch contrasted so well with the salty and sweet flavors. My bf had the baba for the dessert course which was inedible for me. But I'm also not a big fan of prune or bourbon. We were brought a complimentary piece of cake for our anniversary and I found it dry. The chocolate dessert is the winner for that course. We did the wine pairing and also ordered a mezcal cocktail. With all of the extras we didn't find any need to order supplements. We were very full at the end and wished the pacing of the meal had been a bit better and slower. Start to finish we were there for about an hour and a half but it felt like less. The cocktail arrived after the first course was served, for example. We could have used a few more minutes between courses and probably should have said something. Loved the elevated industrial ambiance and noticed how far apart the tables were - kind of like social distancing times, but not mad it! It's nice to feel like you have your own space/privacy and not piled on top of strangers. As we were walking out, the hostess offered us a loaf of bread left over from their store - and it was good! This is the kind of establishment where you're not just directed to the restroom, but accompanied there personally. Every single employee we encountered was kind and professional, and showed pride in the experience they provide. Does Bacchanalia deserve a Michelin star? Absolutely. But if I had to choose between it and Lazy Betty, the latter wins every day of the week. This was great for a one-time experience but not worth the value for a return visit.

I made reservation a few weeks in advance. It looked like an industrial building from the outside. We got seated immediately. I brought my whole family including 2 children under 10 years old. Service was excellent. I tried 2 different cocktails and both were good. Food was very good, but portion was kinda small. There were 4 main courses. Third course was cheese and last was dessert. Children paid the same price as adults. So, it's not worth bringing children in my opinion. My children started complaining after first 2 courses. It's going to be a long while until I come back here again

I went with my long-time college friend to experience my first Michelin! The decor, lighting, and service (very attentive and friendly) were exactly what I had envisioned when I think of Michelin restaurants. Leftovers were packed for us, and we were offered fresh loaves of bread from the adjoining bakery (Star Provisions) on our way out. Overall, I'm glad that I experienced my first Michelin here! We selected and shared different items for each course to try more of the menu. We chose the foie gras and crab fritters as appetizers (1st course). Although we loved both, our server said that the crab fritter was one of the most popular appetizers, and that was definitely one of our favorites from the night. We chose the lamb and duck (both of the most popular entrees) for the 2nd course. The lamb was tender and one of my favorites; however, the duck disappointed both of us because it was dry. For the third course, my friend chose the selection of cheese, and we liked the sheep cheese. Lastly, we chose baba and chocolate for the last course. I didn't try the chocolate because I was full, but I disliked the baba personally because it was completely soaked in bourbon that overwhelmed any other flavors. Throughout the night, we were given complimentary snacks; I thought the most notable was their bread since it came from their adjoining bakery (Star Provisions).

Like many others, we were excited to have a Michelin star experience here in Atlanta. We've dined at a handful of other Michelin star restaurants and they were excellent. Bacchanalia was good...but it fell short of expectations. We enjoyed each course, although my wife said her New York strip was a bit chewy. The service was really disappointing. My favorite part about a Michelin star experience is how special the staff makes you feel. We felt forgotten about and somewhat ignored. It took 3 hours to receive and eat our dinner. The tables on either side of us arrived after us and finished before us. Our server regularly visited them while she disappeared for 3 of our 5 courses. We received a half hearted apology and some complimentary potatoes to compensate how long we waited on each course. With a $650 tab, it's unfortunate to leave feeling there was much to be desired.

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.

The 4 course was wonderful. The staff was top notch. The sommelier was very helpful. I didn’t love the dining room/vibe. All in all it was a great evening!

The crab fritter and duck never disappoints. Service always consistent. For special occasions try supplemental caviar service!

I took a group of 10 for dinner. They gave us an attractively decorated private room. Food was excellent. Service was professional, without being snooty.

I had expectations of perfectly executed dishes, but had several disappointments. Firstly, why would you ask if there are any food allergies, then serve multiple plates with said allergen? Secondly, the timing was terrible. Our bread came 30 seconds before our first course, but we were waiting with nothing on the table for half an hour previous. Drinks that were meant to be accompanied with meals were never served with them, and the wait between courses was extremely long. I would be more understanding if the restaurant was full and servers were running around like madmen, but the general vibe was lax, with no sense of urgency. Speaking of the drinks, we ordered a couple of classic cocktails - a Sazerac for me, and my wife had a Brandy Alexander with dessert. Neither of which were made by anyone who had made them before - it was obviously that these were Googled recipes, and muddled through. I would have much preferred they tall me that they couldn't make them, and we would have ordered something more to the caliber of the bartender. Skipping ahead to dessert, my wife had the Muscadine, which was akin to cheesecake that had been left in the fridge uncovered for a week to dry out, then covered with a bunch of wet things to cover up the fact. The worst part was the gelatin bits - they were completely out of place for taste and texturally. The most egregious complaint comes with my meal - the lamb. As soon as it was presented, I knew it was beef. Lamb doesn't sear the same, smell the same, or taste the same. When we asked our server what cut it was, he stated lamb loin, (which I have cooked dozens of times at home), and that it was sourced from New York. Funny guy, being that I was served New York Strip. To be fair, it was cooked perfectly, and very tasty, but I ordered lamb. The one real high point was the cheese course - I had the red cow parm, and my wife had something with a french name. They were both creative, beautiful, flavorful, textural, and perfectly proportioned. If the entire meal was on that level, this review would have gone quite differently, and it would be obvious why they have Michelin Stars... unfortunately that was not our experience.

The food, wine and service were great, but it was so cold, it crept up on me through the meal, until dessert when I was warming my hands on my soufflé. Other dinners didn’t seem to mind but my wife and I had to hurry to leave - just so cold.
