We slso got coctails mine was Mediterranean coctail . Loved it . Dessert was good too .

Went down to Bethesda to meet up with an out-of-town friend who came into DC this week for work. Chose Bacchus mainly due to its reviews, and we were all glad. We sat out in the patio area to enjoy a breezy spring evening. Ordered a few drinks like grapefruit mule and Mediterranean blue. Delicious. Not much alcohol so enjoyed the sweetness. We had a feast with shawarma with chicken, kofta, salmon and salad. The bread and oil were both great. Great meal. Great service. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the dust on the plates and cups. Because the table settings were already on the table in the patio, there was a visible amount of dust/street dust on the dinnerwares. I had to wipe off the plates before placing my bread on it.

We started with the fried cheese, special hummus and Baba ghanoush. The fried cheese was Ok, nothing special. The hummus special was good with the ground lamb but also didn't stand out. I liked the Baba ghanoush and would get it again. The combination bacchus really good. The lamb skewers done medium were some of the best lamb I've ever had! Definitely recommend getting something with lamb skewers if you enjoy lamb

An amazing place to go! Great food, service, prices, and atmosphere. We were also given a complimentary dessert, which was delicious and so nice of them.

About a 2 2.5: Bacchus of Lebanon is located in the heart of Bethesda, serving up authentic Lebanese dishes. Their menu is pretty extensive, offering a brunch and all day menu, featuring starters (cold and warm mezzes), salads, soups, main platters, and sides. I came here right when they had opened and ordered the following to go: +Baba Ghanouj baba ghanouj was more on the chunky side, and came with some warm pita bread; I found this to be on the bland side, and the portions were a little too small considering the price +Kibbeh there is meat filled as well as a vegetarian version (with potatoes) the kibbeh could have been better, as they were smaller than I expected and were more mushy, rather than with the crisp exterior; the filling was a bit bland, and I thought the meat could have been more seasoned and more flavorful I'm thinking I should have gone for the vegetarian version of the kibbeh, as I am curious how these would taste being potato filled; I'm interested in trying out their seafood items, such as the Bacchus Shrimp, as well as their Lamb Chops and Shish Taouk on the next visit. When walking up to the restaurant, I just knew that it was going to be beautiful their patio is large and well decorated; inside, you'll find columns, a gorgeous chandelier, and great murals. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and they even offered some water at the bar while I was waiting for the food. Metered and garage parking is available in the area. +friendly service +great outdoor seating space +metered and garage parking available
