Went for dinner about four times now . I had to try their brunch. The food was excellent. I got the egg in the basket. It has so much flavor. It's fancy ! My friend got the veggie omelette. The presentation was beautiful. So many veggies. Serving size is generous. At the table we had the Bloody Mary, red sangria, and the $5 rose. All drinks were good. The Sangria was a stand out!

We think that this restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Long Beach. it is one one of the most creative places in Long Beach. It has one of the most unique menus and (importantly to us) an incredible wine list The service was exceptional. It was an incredible dining experience! Go there. You will not be disappointed. read more

We have had the pleasure of dining at Chez Bacchus several times and it never disappoints. The menu is curated with great care and every dish is uniquely. Lamb tagliatelle was on the menu and it was delicious as was the transparent shrimp appetizer. I have had the privilege of drinking the South African Cremant each time we have been there making the evening more enjoyable. We are delighted with this addition to Long Beach. read more

First visit, superb experience. Original and refreshing menu. Ostrich on the menu! Friendly staff. Great presentation of the food items and the included carefully balanced mix of veggies was original and greatly enhanced the experience! Oh, valet parking is available too! Two thumbs up. Or five stars for that matter, well deserved. read more

Service was amazing! Food was great. It is expensive fine dining though so come prepared. I had one of the shrimp entrees and it was delicious read more

I went here for New Year's dinner and I really enjoyed it. I got to try several courses of decadent food that I hadn't had before. The ambience was very warm and cozy and management was very attentive to our needs. I really enjoyed my experience here and would love to go back soon. read more

We enjoyed a great meal here last night! Food was fantastic as was the service provided by our waiter Isaac. The owner/sommelier Mr. Hansen was very attentive and helped selecting 2 very nice bottles of wine that complimented our food perfectly. As a wine geek I especially appreciated the wine list - many wines available by the glass -39!- and the full list was thoughtfully put together. And did I mention the markup over retail was only 50%! Overall just a great experience and I can't wait until we go back. read more

Loved it. They were so accommodating and helpful when directing us about what was gluten free and everything we ate was perfection. I can't wait to go back. I do think it's lame to charge for water but so many places are doing it now I guess that's just going to be the norm. Their homemade sodas are unbelievable read more

Excellent food, great service and very nice ambience. They make their sauces and desserts from scratch. A very nice addition to the LB food scene. Highly recommend. read more

Enjoyed another great night at Chez Baccus. Hadn't been back for a while and enjoyed the new menu. Food was great as always. Love the time the bartender and servers spend talking with everyone without letting service slip - it's expert. Don't let the white tablecloths steer you away - this is fine dining, so break out that dress or blazer. But it's also cozy so there is no need to forego the jeans. read more

Lovely ambiance, delicious farm to table cuisine, excellent service. It's great to have another fine dining restaurant in Long Beach.

Wow!! Incredible!! This place is a gem! As a foodie in OC, I've been looking for a spot like this. Very welcoming, food is delicious, and refined atmosphere and service. I've been coming back over the past few months and each time has been better than the last. The chef is artful and expressive in his dishes. The owner John (who is also a sommelier) is warm and knowledgeable about wine and pairings, and he sets a tone for their comfortable setting. I come here to celebrate special occasions (my wife's birthday tonight), and also just for cozy, relaxed nights. I love the French influence as half my family is from Switzerland and it reminds me of meals together around Europe. I can't wait to try the new "Chef's Table" dinners they are hosting! And they also have wine dinners, I hear they are phenomenal. Can't wait to come back for Valentine's! read more

Came with 3 friends to clean ate a very special birthday. The food did not disappoint! However....we found the main course selections very limited (5 choices). Everything was a la carte and $$$$$. We also felt that bread & butter, in a restaurant of this caliber, should be complimentary. Service was great, ambiance charming. Overall experience....elegant. read more

Wow! Awesome dishes. Expensive but fitting for the quality of the experience. The topper is the staff! Super kind and attentive and professional but genuinely nice. And if you want to end with a show stopper, end your evening with the Bananas Foster what a treat! I also loved the wine selection. What a great special event or date night experience. A must! read more

Great wine selection, delicious food, attentive staff. I enjoyed the entire experience!

An outstanding dining experience. The service was very attentive and knowledgeable, with a good balance of checking on us but giving us space while also answering all our questions thoroughly. The food was great as well with each dish being flavorful and inventive. The decor was also very nice and great for date night. I'd definitely recommend!!! read more

I love this classy place! The food, the wine, the ambience, the service -- it's all great. I've eaten there several times and was very pleased. They've got great salads, and I love those mushroom crepes. If you care about fine wines, this is the place to go. Try it out on a Thursday evening -- there's a private party every Thursday at 6:30 and everyone's invited to enjoy the live music (with a fantastic jazz vocalist, by the way). read more

It was my birthday and I wanted to have dinner at Chez Bacchus. What a lovely restaurant. The service is top notch and everyone there makes you feel welcome . Kudos to John Hansen and his wife Reina for creating an incredible dinning experience in the city of Long Beach. The food was delicious and prepared to perfection. I had the shrimp dish and my husband had the white fish, Everything was yummy! We also tried two desserts- the flourless chocolate cake and the Honey Crisp Apple starlet and they did not disappoint. A great ending to an enjoyable meeting. We will definitely go back. Thank you John and Reina for a memorable birthday dinner! read more

Amazing food and excellent service. This restaurant is perfect for a special occasion or romantic dinner.

Probably the best short rib I've ever had! Great service wine, and people. An awesome dinner date with a loved one/friends!

Beautiful place, and amazing food. Amazing Team from the server to the chef. Very professional If you want to spend a great time, you need to go there. Ask for chef Dany let him surprice you with his own menu. Thank you all we had a great time :):):) We will be back. read more

Nice ambiance and delicious food. Good selection of wines. The octopus it's a most! highly recommend it

My husband and I went for our 21st wedding anniversary and it was a collective delight. I read an article that highlighted the owners and chef Danny Le who were once at Napa Rose. The restaurant was beautiful (my firefighter husband loved the exposed beams and reinforcement rods) and so relaxing. The service was on point - friendly, knowledgeable and timely. The food was on another level and we thoroughly enjoyed every morsel. We had the red beans and rice with pickled trinity - so much flavor packed into this unassuming dish - the flat iron steak with polenta, Long Beach mushrooms and chimichurri followed by the flourless chocolate cake and peanut butter and chocolate bar. The champagne and red wine selected by the owner were delicious. We devoured it all! I keep thinking about what a wonderful meal and experience it was. We also truly enjoyed our conversation with the owner This restaurant is not to be missed and anyone who likes to eat should go. Repeatedly. We can't wait to go back. read more

Stopped in to see the new restaurant on the corner of 4th and Olive, and not disappointed is an understatement. The dining room is elegant yet comfortable, great service (thanks Wyatt), but the food!!! Unique, delicate, and highly intelligent. I highly recommend! read more

The food and service are exceptional and on par with New York or San Francisco. It elevates Long Beach dining. Every plate was a lovely experience. read more

what a nice evening with excellent food. everything was on point from the front desk greeting, wait staff and food. We had excellent service from Chris, Mellisa and of course John. Everyone was warm and helpful. The presentation was well thought out and oh that garlic soup. My friends had the ostrich and the halibut. Delicious. Also a wonderful wine list. Can't wait to go back read more

Warm and cozy environment, friendly service, and a great menu. Looking forward to returning!

I recently had the pleasure of eating at this excellent restaurant with a couple of good friends. Intimate, elegant, and delicious local restaurant with a great selection of food, wine, and desserts. Equally impressive was the quality of care and service provided by the staff. Wyatt, had some great suggestions. Wyatt and Melissa were delightful and went above and beyond. Actually, the entire team was incredibly attentive from the moment our party walked into the door. Highly recommended! read more

Where do I start with this little gem of a restaurant! I came here with my husband and couple of our friends. Upon arrival, we were kindly greeted by the owner of the restaurant and immediately sat at our table! She was incredibly friendly and made us feel like we were part of her family! We sat down and were greeted by our server, where he explained the menu and wine list! Getting into the food and drink: the night started with a bread basket which consisted of freshly baked and toasted bread.. 5/5. For appetizers we ordered the octopus 5/5, red rice and beans 5/5 (don't sleep on this), the sea shrimp 4/5 (we enjoyed the lentils more than the shrimp) and the winter salad 4/5. For dinner, we order the lamb tagliatelle 4/5 and flat iron steak 5/5! The food was incredible but what was even more incredible were the wine recommendations. We ordered two bottles of red wine that was recommended by our server and each one was better than the other! After dinner, the owner had has peak at their private dinning room that can accommodate 12 guests for a prefix menu! We can't wait to come back and try the prefix menu! Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant for their good food, great wine and amazing service! read more

It was like being transported to Napa Valley! From the architectural details to the amazing service, Chez Bacchus is a destination for dining! John is indeed a master sommelier, but so down to earth that you feel it's a great friend chatting with you about the unique attributes of the winemaker and the region. The wine was fantastic, and the food was so scrumptious as shown in the photos we took. We look forward to making this one of our new favorite spots with family and friends, as well as for a date night. read more

This restaurant has everything one would look for, when you want a special night out. There were four of us that had dinner, which included cocktails, wine (by the way, plenty of choices there), incredible food from a taste standpoint and presentation. Add to this attentive service and classy ambiance, you have the recipe for a fine evening. I had the maple leaf Duck, which was delicious and not the slightest bit greasy. Other had the venison (no gaminess), filet mignon (perfection) and the miso-glazed Norwegian salmon (beautiful). Of course, for the show-stopper there was table-side served Bananas Foster. Also a delicate apple mille feuille. The desserts were wonderfully sweet, but not too sweet. As I see another review post, this place will likely be the next Michelin star restaurant in Long Beach! read more

Super yummy food!! High quality ingredients, sophisticated ambiance and excellent wine pairing. Service is always on point. I would recommend for a culinary treat and great evening with loved ones. read more

This is a very special place that stands out among the restaurants in Long Beach, cozy and prestigious atmosphere, if you love wine this place is top notch. The food has been some of the best crafted and tasty plates I've ever had, chef Danny is top tier. And lastly the service, everyone is so nice, attentive to your table with out being overbearing, almost like going to a friends house for dinner. Will be back again, and again. read more

Attentive service, outstanding cuisine, great atmosphere! We have dined multiple times and will keep coming back.

Their location is not the most ideal. It is best to valet your car. Then, leave it up to the restaurant to take care of you. Leave the life's stress outside. You are immediately greeted with a welcoming greeting and a smile. You are made to feel important as you are escorted to your table. Food and drinks are what you come for at this restaurant and what you come back for plus the friendly staff. It can be in the pricey side but you are up for an adventure and food coma. Yes, that good! If you don't like to be pampered while you dine and embibe ( yup, I said dine and embibe on beverage of your choice) then, this is not for you. As for me, I want no drama, yes on professional and attentive service and yes on a food experience of my life. Just a simple high quality food ingredient, creative plating, elevated seasoning and service that match to complete the ambience of the night- those come at no added cost at Chez Bacchus. I mean they have the only Advance Sommelier in LB there- that's extra service/ attention/ wine education at no added cost. Get ready for a magical night! read more

What a great addition to the Long Beach food scene. The ambiance, the service and the food are all excellent. John made our evening extra special by sharing stories about the menu, the chef and the wines. We even had a mini wine tasting to help us pick the perfect wines for dinner! It was an extra special evening and we will definitely be back! read more

We had our Mother's Day brunch celebration at Chez Bacchus today. We arrived an hour before the end of brunch. The quiche sampler was already sold out. First disappointment, as several people at our table were planning on ordering this dish. My son ordered the prix fix menu which was to come with a citrus sorbet. When they served it, he got vanilla ice cream instead as they ran out of the citrus sorbet. We then ordered additional desserts for the rest of the table, then the waitress came back and told us they were sold out of the desserts we had requested. Needless to say, we were perpetually disappointed throughout the meal, and embarrassed for our guests. While the ambiance and the waitress was very nice, the chef is not effectively planning for the amount of food necessary for serving, especially on Mother's Day. Makes me wonder if that is why the portions were so small today. That was a disappointment too. read more

Hmm. Really wanted to love this spot but it fell short in a few ways. #1- they do not have full bar as advertised on Yelp. They do a wine based cocktail deal. Not my favorite. Their wine list is just okay. Very moderate. Appetizers we very interesting, not in a good way. Duck confit was not executed properly. Short rib was good. Shrimp pasta dish was okay, but not vegetarian like the waiter described (had pork lardons). Pork chop was good. Service was decent, but not amazing. Owner was very nice! read more

Incredible food, wine, and service. John and Reina were so welcoming and their caring and gorgeous restaurant is top notch. Asia, our server, was also super helpful and knowledgeable. John is an expert and picked out the best and most delicious wines from around the world for us to try. A fantastic restaurant you do not want to miss. read more

It pains me to leave this review because we were so excited to try Chez Bacchus after taking a look at other people's experiences, but this was one of the worst Long Beach dining outings I've had, especially for a place that positions itself as upscale. From start to finish it was a bit of a disaster. They got our drink order wrong and then tried to convince us to keep the drink that we didn't order instead of getting what we asked for. They also got one of our soup orders incorrect and then said that the wrong soup was better anyway so we should just take that one instead...? They were frantic about clearing our appetizer plates, which we had to ask them to leave since we were still working on the food, and when they rushed back to clear them we thought that was because our entrees were ready (BTW our first choice of entree wasn't available, so we opted for something else). Boy were we wrong. We waited almost an hour between apps and getting our main courses. Not once did anyone stop by to give us an update, meanwhile we were watching tables who were seated well after us receiving their food. When we finally did get our food, it was fine, but nothing spectacular (and certainly not worth the wait). Our server then informed us since we waited for so long she'd would comp us a soufflé, which took another 20 minutes after our meal was finished to come out. Overall it was a looong night of constant misses and mediocre food. I'm so bummed that this was our experience because it looks like others have had a fabulous time, but we won't be going back. read more
