Great all round - definitely recommend.

Amazing Christmas food and drink, the menu was perfect and the service attentive and friendly. Thankyou Salt Bar.

Excellent meal last night with the Christmas menu. Great food, service and atmosphere. The staff are brilliant, attentive, professional and friendly. It always delivers a great evening and I’ll be back soon.

Fantastic food. Staff really helpful. Lucie and another blonde young lady( apologies for not remembering name) were so helpful and tentative. Eliza on guitar was amazing . We'll be back xx

Another wonderful evening , Bacchus is truly one of the best restaurants in the area ( if not the country). The menu is varied and the food is so well prepared and served…. and the service is Bacchus’ crowing glory. You are made so welcome, and so comfortable. The attention is second to none, always discreet, but always there. Thank you so much for such another lovely evening , we will be back soon.

Food absolutely amazing as always - can’t fault it. Best tapas we have had. Unfortunately (and as has been the past time we have been) we had poor service. We waited over 45 mins for our food and kept trying to get attention of different waiters to ask if there was an issue but they always walked past very quickly avoiding eye contact. We watched other tables that arrived well after us all get their food before us. No one came to us in those 45 mins and we all had empty drinks and wanted to order more. Only at the very end of the evening did they say sorry you waited a long time for your food the order didn’t go through at the till. But no money off or anything. Mistakes happen, I just think it would have been better if we were told at the time rather than avoiding us! We also had to keep getting up to find waiters to ask for drinks and deserts as we were left for 20-25 minutes at a time with no one coming to check on us. It was very cold (as seen mentioned in another review) so we had to sit with coats on, as did some other tables. The waiters themselves were lovely and friendly whenever we did see them, it’s just the service was poor unfortunately and it did put a downer on an evening (which was for a special birthday).

A pre-Christmas treat for us both, excellent meal, wonderful service. Bacchus is a lovely restaurant, great food, friendly, professional staff. Definitely feels “a bit special”. Thank you.

We are regulars at Bacchus as the food and service is always excellent. And they never have loud recorded background music

As usual , an excellent meal in a delightful atmosphere.

16/12/22 Had a fabulous meal here with a friend. Great advice to help our choices, and I highly recommend the Mezze platter, and the chicken n Chorizo Paella. Not to mention the decent sized, beautifully presented Prestbury punch cocktail. Food- tasty fresh & homemade Service- impeccable Cocktails- delicious and potent! Lovely decor, can’t recommend enough

Food was great, service ok a little stilted but fine and very casual but it was freezing cold in there. Would definitely go again though

Probably one of my top 3 restaurants in the UK. Always a great selection on the changing menu. The welcome and the attention to detail is second to none. The service throughout is discrete but attentive. They make you feel special. The house wines are great and the overall cost, especially for the 3 course menu is amazingly good value. Been many times and will continue to do so.

Bacchus was always the place we chose for special occasions but hadn’t been for a couple of years due to Covid. However we recently went in November for my birthday and it was just as nice as before. The staff are lovely and friendly and the food is great, we have never been disappointed with anything we’ve ordered. It’s relaxed and intimate without being pretentious. I would very much recommend going there and you won’t be disappointed.

Yet again an outstanding meal with excellent service Thank you and see you soon AJ

Bacchus had been recommended to us by a friend and so we thought we would give it a try. We were absolutely bowled over by the entire evening. The food was beautifully presented and was cooked to perfection. The staff were amazing. We didn’t have to fill our own wine glasses once and nothing was too much trouble. There was an added element of humour from the waiters which was lovely. We enjoyed everything from the white cotton table cloths to the after dinner chocolates. We will definitely be returning soon.

We had a lovely anniversary meal at Lilac Cottage this weekend. The staff were really attentive and helpful but didn’t overdo it and bother us, just the right balance, the atmosphere was nice and relaxed with some traditional music and a cosy feel. The Food was really lovely! We both ordered 3 tapas dishes and then 2 to share and it was about the right amount, prices were reasonable, service was quick and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Would definitely return in future and recommend this restaurant.

Bacchus is a must do on our trips to Cheshire. Always a very friendly reception and always great food and wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our latest visit. If only we could find a restaurant as good as Bacchus in our area of France. Thank you all. Les & Diane.

As good as ever; it’s our favourite place in Macclesfield.
