Max was first rate in helping managing details for a small very special party for a dear niece’s special birthday in our unexpected absence. We heard she and our sisters were treated royally, the food was deliciously prepared and they had a memorable experience. Well done! This is why we’ve loved Marcus establishments for decades.

Bacchus is always top notch. The service was stellar, the food was divine, the drink selection impressive, and the atmosphere was lovely. Bacchus is always a favorite for us--for good reason. It's wonderful for a meal in the gorgeous bar or for a longer meal in the dining room.

Great food! Excellent service was given to us by Evan. He was very attentive and knowledgeable. We couldn't believe he'd only worked here for 3 months. Also, everyone gets complimentary popcorn cooked in bacon fat!! So good....

Wonderful food and hospitality. Creative and well balanced cocktails. Knowledgeable staff, dining room lights were a little too bright for me. Overall quite happy with our experience, we’ll be back!
