    We dined on a Friday night. The food was good - we enjoyed the octopus appetizer, and the paella was good. The seafood linguini was a bit of a miss. It appeared that they were a bit short staffed so service was a bit slower than we would have liked. The outdoor seating was nicely arranged.

    Our waitress was wonderful. She offered wonderful suggestions on both food and drinks. The evening got chilly and she brought over the heater and provided us blankets. First time coming here and will definitely return.

    We’re so fortunate to have Bahche right here in our neighborhood! Their wines are fantastic, whether you’re enjoying them by the glass or the bottle, and the food is simply the best. Plus, the service is always top-notch. We make it a point to visit at least twice a month.
