Bacchanalia | Atlanta's Go‑To Fine Dining Date Spot 🍷✨

Just visited Bacchanalia with my girlfriend to try their refreshed 2026 menu — and it was a wonderful, elevated experience from start to finish. 🥂 Here’s a detailed look at our tasting journey: 🦪 Oysters (+$40 supplement) We chose Hog Island Sweetwater from California — plump, sweet, and perfectly briny. A delicious start. 🌊 🍾 Wine Pairings The Riesling and sparkling Champagne were both excellent. Special shout‑out to the California Riesling by the glass — a delightful off‑dry wine that paired beautifully throughout the meal. 🥂 🥂 First Course • Foie Gras – decent, but the standout was the base: a fermented‑bread‑style disc filled with a medley of wild mushrooms. 🍄 • Lobster – fresh, sweet, and expertly prepared. A clear winner! 🦞 🍖 Second Course • Lamb & Beef – both cooked to a perfect medium‑well, carrying a lovely charcoal‑grilled aroma that added depth without overpowering. Recommended! 🔥 🧀 Third Course – Cheese Selection The apple and grape‑inspired cheese courses were a true surprise! The grape version, in particular, had an oatmeal‑like creamy texture — unique, savory, and utterly delicious. 🍇😋 🍰 Dessert • Soufflé – lemon‑infused, paired with refreshing mint ice cream. Light and bright. 🍋 • Chocolate Dessert – a bit too sweet after the rich cheese course, so not our top pick this time. 🍫 💵 Price Point With wine pairing and tip, it came to around $250 per person — which for this level of craftsmanship, ambiance, and service in Atlanta feels completely worthwhile. Bacchanalia remains a top‑tier choice for a special date or celebration. Refined, attentive, and consistently impressive. Already looking forward to our next visit! 💖 #Bacchanalia #AtlantaFineDining #MichelinDining #DateNightAtlanta #WinePairing #TastingMenu #SpecialOccasion #AtlantaEats #FoodieExperience #ElegantDining #AtlantaRestaurants #CelebrationSpot #CouplesNightOut #AtlantaFoodScene
