A few weeks back when Buffalo was still fooling itself that summer remained in session, MT and I enjoyed a most delightful date night out on the patio of
Bacchus in downtown Buffalo. Bacchus is a seasoned veteran on the 716 dining scene with a decade under its wine-soaked belt and in no way does it show its age!
As I write, I fear my snaps of the night do not truly capture the amazing tastes we were presented with. Each dish was outstanding and worth every shekel shelled out. Bacchus boasts a world-class wine list (anthology is more apropos) and a helpful, unassuming staff to help guide you through.

| Cheese plate: choose four was the option. From top center we had Cabot Cheddar, Purple Haze, Saint Andre Triple Cream and Chocolate Stout Gouda. Perfectly accented by the fried pear as I recall. |
 |
| Caesar Salad with Parmesan crisp. Rivaled my out-of-body experience of City Winery in NYC! |
 |
| BLT salad: a snazzy take on the wedge salad. House-made bleu cheese dressing, crispy pancetta, heirloom tomatoes. Home run straight outta the park! |
 |
| Carbonara gnocchi. This dish was astounding. Creamy carbonara cut by savory pancetta and peas tossed with home-made pillowy gnocchi. MT legit had to take the plate away before I started licking it! |
 |
| Another angle of the simply magnifique Carbonara. |
While definitely not a spot to hit up on the reg if you're a pleb like myself, splurging at Bacchus will leave you with very satisfied belly and absolutely no spenders' remorse. Truly worth every copper splashed out and one of the top places showcasing Buffalo's culinary greatness!
