Frommer's Review

A hip restaurant in downtown's busiest area, Bacchus is indeed a wine mecca, offering more than 200 bottles, all available by the glass. It's a crowded, sometimes noisy space that combines a bar with a chic candlelit dining room. You can order delicious larger plates of lamb chops and filet or ahi tuna, but the culinary ingenuity is best found in the small plates. They're larger than traditional tapas plates (two per person will do) and trade the typical Spanish flair for innovations like a carpaccio of sirloin with egg crostini, arugula, reggiano cheese, and truffle oil. Crowds form early, but a wait at the classy bar is hardly a bore.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
