On a Monday night I chastised my father for making reservations and even calling to confirm; but sure enough when we arrived it was a bit busier than I thought it would be, maybe it had something to do with the live music.
Our server for the evening was French through and through and quite witty, and not a hint of snobbery- not to mention exceedingly skilled at his job.
The Escargot, though recommended with bread by our server, was delicious alone, rich and soft with just the right amount of garlic to enhance its taste.
Now I have been here 4 or 5 times, 3 since the current owners have taken over, and they always recognize/ accomodate their regulars. Marche Bacchus is a unique experience in that you can browse a really incredible array of wines before dinner and enjoy them with your meal for a $10 corkage fee- which is waived on Mondays.
Excellent at any time of day, sitting outside is really a treat- And when it gets darker opt for the upper level patio as the lighting is optimal.
They have wonderful meat and cheese platters and some of the best Bread Pudding I have ever tasted- I literally order it in advance because it does take some time to make and I always want it.
This would be the perfect for Romantic Date Ambiance, complete with impeccable service and all for such a great price.
