| - The easiest way to get here is to go to Lake Mead and Mariner. Make the turn onto Mariner where Buca di Beppo is, then look for Regatta and make a left. You'll be surprised to find such a beautiful wine store and restaurant overlooking their own lake, across from other beautiful houses and condominiums.
They have a heated patio and outdoor seating. The hostess, Tina, really wants you to sit outside. I have an inkling it's because there's a different server for outdoor seating and she needs to help the server out, but we opted for indoor seating and ended up with Laurel as our server.
She was very professional, nice, prompt, and sweet. She knew her menu well and was even able to provide vegetarian options to someone from another table.
The wine store is beautifully lit, has some of the awards they have received, and is a great deal for people who like to dine with wine, because normally wines are marked up 300% at a fine-dining establishment, but if you dine with Marché Bacchus and buy a bottle of wine and get it served there, the mark-up is generally only around 30%.
I've been to Marché Bacchus twice, once last year and once yesterday. Both times, the food was solid, and the service was friendly and professional.
This time around, I ordered the
Escargot: sea snails with melted herb butter. "Monte au beurre," right chef? You can never have too much butter. It was great for dipping the fresh bread they brought us as well.
Moules Frites: There aren't too many first bites where I wish I could have another first bite of that same exact bite. This was one of those rare moments. My palate was so lucky as to taste this mussel washed over with this great sauce. The taste of alcohol and butter and the freshness of the mussels really created a mezcla of bliss for a moment in time. Then I quickly went back for more. The fries are really crispy, not made in-house, probably come from a large brown bag, but the starch they battered the fries in really made the fries very crispy. Delectable! No ketchup for me!
Half-Pound Burger: Überly soft bread, perfect medium-temperature patty, melted cheese, fresh and slightly pickled rings of onions crowned the patty, and again the same delicious and crispy fries. How could I ever be a vegetarian?
Rum Bread Pudding: Order this 30 minutes in advance. Last year, my server forgot to order it as he was supposed to time the ordering. This year, Laurel made sure to remember and even let us know when she ordered it, right around before the entreés were going to come out. When the bread pudding came out, there was a side of cinnamon apple sauce that went quite well with the bread pudding. I must add that the bread pudding was not as moist as bread puddings should normally be. Bread pudding was traditionally made with left-over bread and needed to be moist because it was supposed to be drenched in custard as that would help the bread soften. Of course, it was still very yummy.
Last year, I also had their charcuterie. From what I recall, the charcuterie had a very nice mix of pear, apple, candied walnuts, and different cheeses and thinly sliced meats. My eyes couldn't help but glance over to the 11-top next to me when the platters of fromage came to their table. There were apricots, pickles, cheeses, and slices of apples on their plates. Everything looked really delicious, even as I was ready to leave.
I am excited about my next visit to Marché Bacchus and hope it won't be another year before I come back.
