Reviews Bacchus Of Lebanon

Yesterday, I came into Bacchus for lunch, and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The restaurant's interior was exceptionally aesthetically pleasing, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. It was impeccably clean, which added to the overall positive impression. The servers were not only attentive but also very friendly, making me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. They ensured that I received my food quickly and efficiently. I ordered an order of falafel to go, and it exceeded my expectations. The falafel was a delightful treat. It had a perfect crunch on the outside, and the flavors were incredibly satisfying. I'm eager to return and explore more of their menu.

The food was DELICIOUS! Truly fantastic food with compliments to the kitchen. However, the service did not match. The service wasn’t bad, either, it was just very minimal and the servers all seemed exhausted and unhappy to be there. I don’t know if this is true it just felt like a burden to be there.

Just returned to Bacchus for the first time since the pandemic. We should have returned sooner. The food is astoundingly good and service is kind. This is a local restaurant worth treasuring and enjoying repeatedly. The complimentary warm pita bread with za’atar dip was a great beginning to our meal. The savory and piquant za’atar perfectly complemented the pillowy pita. We selected apps from the mezze menu: aged goat cheese and sautéed squid. The lively saltiness of the goat cheese contrasted beautifully with the lemony squid. You can dine brilliantly at Bacchus by sticking to the extensive mezze menu, but don’t ignore the big plates. We loved the lamb pieces splashed with butter and served atop flatbread and yogurt. (There is a similar lamb with rice dish that we remember as excellent and recommend highly.) The star of our evening was the veal chop, blanketed with sautéed mushrooms, grilled perfectly to a mouthwatering sear, and juicy on the interior. Our meal was enhanced by our beverages: a nicely executed Manhattan, delicious minted iced tea (a must for me: deeply flavorful and refreshing) and glasses of robust Lebanese wine. Service was slow (it was a quiet weeknight) but very kind. Our server charmingly surprised us with a complimentary dessert of cardamom pudding. The terrace has been enclosed (side windows remain open in good weather) as a concession to pandemic era needs; fortunately, the stone fountain has been retained.

I recently dined at Bacchus Of Lebanon, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a delightful evening. The menu offered a tantalizing array of Lebanese cuisine, and every dish we tried was an absolute delight. The appetizers were a highlight, with the falafel being a personal favorite – crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned on the inside. The main course options were equally impressive, with a variety of grilled meats. The lamb kebabs were a standout, tender and bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to provide recommendations. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Bethesda!

Terrific Lebanese food in a bright, airy, welcoming atmosphere. Three generations of hungry eaters came home very happy!

Food🌟🌟🌟🌟 The taste was pretty good. Service🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Regular check ins. Atmosphere🌟🌟🌟🌟Lovely. The bathrooms look a bid sad compared to the rest of the space though. I ordered the soup of the day (lentil) and the Surf & Turf(Lamb & salmon). The bill was about $36 excluding tip.

Came here on a Friday night and was so surprised that it wasn’t packed!! Everything was absolutely amazing. Our server Taliya was very friendly and helped us choose our order from their delicious menu. There was also live entertainment after 8:30pm, which added an extra level of fun to our meal. As a picky eater, I can honestly say that I enjoyed every dish that I had here! It was my first time trying Lebanese food, and I can safely say that I’ll be coming back to try more of their dishes.

Very authentic and wonderful selection. I began my meal with grapes leaves, fresh pita and zatar for dipping. I ordered the malfoof (stuffed cabbage served with yogurt) in a lovely light tomatoes sauce. I ended with a knafeh which was spectacular. I ate at the bar and the service was wonderful. I went back a second time snd had the stuffed zucchini appetizer & lamb stew over rice. I also had the pear tart which was delightful. Recently, I went back and had the garlic chicken accompanied by almond rice and am incredible lemon zest dessert topped with pistachio. The owner was kind enough to compliment my meal with the hummus - freshly made…
