Just excellent!! Food was outstanding!! Service was great. I'm not a fan of Italian food but I will definitely be back to try more dishes. Plenty of gluten free options too. Staff is very knowledgeable about issues with celiac. Loved it

If you are looking to go somewhere to celebrate anything or have an event, I HIGHLY recommend Bacchus. My group and I had the best time. I had a table of 7 that I made a reservation for. This was for a surprise birthday dinner. I wanted it to be a surprise to the very last second coming to the table, and our host for the evening helped play into it. I was very grateful they played along (not sure who was working Saturday Oct. 14th but thank you! I believe Carolyn/Caroline is the one who helped me set up the rsvp and made all the notes and answered questions leading up to my reservation so thank you!) The service was amazing. Everyone we made contact with was professional, friendly, and although an upscale environment, kept things light and fun. Also VERY helpful with dietary restrictions (I’m gluten free and I had 2 in my party who were vegetarian). So shoutout to our server (the check had 2 different people listed, Zoe and Isabella) and to her helping hand (I didn’t get her name unfortunately, maybe it was one of the two listed on the check). The food was incredible and came out very well timed. We all got the 3 course special and we all really enjoyed our dishes. Again, they were very accommodating to allergies and restrictions which is always a huge plus in my book. Even when bringing each dish they would specifically say mine was the gluten free dish which was so very reassuring. Wine and drinks were wonderful. There was a plum cocktail that especially stood out. In all, an amazing experience. Thank you to the whole staff for making a special night even more special. The person we were celebrating said it was a night he will remember for the rest of his life. Thank you Bacchus staff for such a spectacular evening.

American brunchers will love it, and foodies looking for interesting fusions will love it. The sweet potato chili crisp waffle was delightful, the ube cheesecake was light and sweet, the pancakes fluffy and buttery. Also, a surprising amount of gluten free options.

I visited Elsa’s On the Park for a late lunch with co-workers. We were a group of 8, and they were able to seat us right away. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was nice. The seating was a little cramped, but this didn’t take away too much. Since we came at the end of lunch, we might have gotten lucky vs. eating at noon – it was a bit cramped. Everyone enjoyed their food, and it was a good time. I went with the Greek Maiden Burger, medium rare, with a side of fries. My only complaint about lunch would be the weird way the sides were served. I had a handful of fries, which were good, but underneath them were some random pieces of fruit and vegetables. This included a baby carrot cut in half, a radish, a piece of broccoli, a small sprig of grapes, and a thin slice of cantaloupe. Maybe this was done to make things look more…fancy? Healthy? I’m not sure, but it was odd, and both the fruit and vegetables were warmed by the fries and the burger, which was kind of unpleasant. I would have rather had more fries. The menu had some nice choices for sandwiches and salads, and I had a hard time deciding, which is a good problem to have. The burger was great and the toppings (olives, feta, diced red onions, mint) were unique and delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly, too – props on it being perfectly medium rare. It seems they specialize in pork chops, so a few co-workers went with pork chop sandwiches, which they really liked. They were happy to accommodate one of our co-worker’s gluten-free requirements, which was appreciated. I would come back to Elsa’s, although I would probably wait for a work lunch as it is a little pricey ($14 for a burger and fries is a little much, even if it was done nicely). The location near Cathedral Square is nice, and it was a pleasant place to have lunch.
