Review-Journal Restaurant Review, July 22, 2005

"We weren't disappointed with anything about our dinner at Bistro Bacchus, in fact. Service throughout was flawless, with courses timed perfectly, wine and water refilled regularly, our waiter willing to let us linger over dessert as he amused an adorable baby at a nearby table.... Good restaurants tend to evolve over time, but some stumble here and there as they do. Bistro Bacchus, on the other hand, is striding along quite smoothly."

overall: A, food: A, atmosphere: A, service: A

2006 Best French Restaurant in the Staff poll.

"Marché Bacchus has captured our hearts with great service in a casual spot, a lakeside view rare in the desert and an adjacent wine shop.... The owners are as authentic as the name, and know how to serve such dishes as pan-roasted snapper, salmon Dijonnaise and a tarte Tatin like your French aunt used to make."

2006 Best Patio Dining in the Readers' poll.

"Lovely Marché Bacchus overlooks a lake in Desert Shores. Most of the year that means it's a pleasant place to relax and have a casual dinner and a glass of wine, but even on a warm summer evening, the breeze wafting in off the lake can make us feel that we're anyplace else but in the stifling desert."

Best Wine Bar in Playboy, January 2005

"A truly top-notch wine bar is one amenity the recent boom hasn't brought to Vegas. But for a resuscitative side trip beyond the Strip, visit the wine shop and bistro Marche Bacchus. It has an outstanding grape selection, which you can sample on the cozy back porch overlooking a man-made lake."

Las Vegas Review-Journal TOP 10 OF 2005

"9. Marché Bacchus -- Authentic French bistro food with, yes, a view -- of a lake, this time -- makes Marché Bacchus special, but an added bonus is that guests can choose their own bottle from the adjacent wine shop...."

Las Vegas - "Neighborhood Gems"

Andre Agassi in American Way Magazine

"Tell us a great local spot that people don’t know about."

Agassi: "Out where we live, there’s this place called Desert Shores, where there are these little lakes. There is a real cute French eatery called Marché Bacchus there on the lake where you can sit outside. You would never know you were in Vegas. Jaden, our two-year-old, entertains himself by feeding the ducks while we’re eating.”

LA Weekly - Sept 16, 2005

"There's an amazing restaurant called Marché Bacchus. It's a French restaurant and it's on a lake, in the northwest just off the 95 and Cheyenne. It's a beautiful, beautiful restaurant: You go in, you buy a bottle of wine from their big cellar and you take it to your table. Outside there are swans on the lake, and accress the lake there are the people who can afford to buy houses there! It's just a sweet place and it's way far away from the Strip."

Gayot.com Restaurant Review

"We like the St. Jacques appetizer, a sea scallop gratin in puff pastry; and the chopped mesclun salad with prosciutto-wrapped shrimp, toasted pine nuts and goat cheese. The Atlantic salmon filet with grilled sea scallops, Dauphinoise potatoes and garlic-Dijon mustard cream is a work of art, as is the pan-roasted snapper with candied ginger-pineapple chutney and orzo risotto. For hearty appetites, the herb- and mustard-crusted rack of lamb with Gorgonzola risotto croquettes is a winner. So are the tarte Tatin and chocolate mousse with almond cookies."

Must Do Travel's TOP PICKS

"A massive wine shop leads guests to a romantic, dimly lit dining room and a tiered lake-view patio. Among Sunday brunch specialties are eggs Benedict; and blueberry, banana, white chocolate or walnut pancakes. Brunch and lunch favorites include traditional quiche Lorraine plus a grilled chicken sandwich with roasted red pepper, Gruyère and Caesar dressing."

Rated: 16/20

2004 Best Patio Dining in the Staff poll.

"Ah, the view is great at Marché Bacchus, which overlooks a lake in Desert Shores. The expatriate French owners have brought a decided Gallic flavor with them, so we can partake of quiche or roasted chicken as we enjoy the breezes and the view. Who needs the south of France?"

2002 Best Liquor or Wine Store in the Staff poll.

"This is a true wine-lovers' store and for proof of that, visit Marché Bacchus on a late Saturday afternoon and you'll find sommeliers from around the valley shopping for wine. With more than 400 wines from around the world and a knowledgable owner, even the pickiest wine drinker will find something to match his taste and wallet. What we really like about this place is if we find a great bottle of cabernet, we don't have to wait until we get home to taste it; staff will pop the cork for us right there. For a real treat, we like to sit on the terrace and enjoy our wine along with the fabulous lake view. We can add a sandwich from the authentic French deli to make it a meal."
