Atlanta

Little Bacch was praised for its attentive service, intimate atmosphere, and classic dishes like Oysters Rockefeller and Cheese Soufflé. However, some patrons found the Whole Roasted Heritage Chicken for Two to be less impressive.

Discover the Charm of Little Bacch in Atlanta Georgia's Blandtown Neighborhood 

Nestled at 1198 Howell Mill Road in Atlanta's trendy Blandtown, Little Bacch was an upscale gem known for delivering an intimate dining experience with a distinctly local appeal. This restaurant captivated food aficionados and trend-conscious travelers alike with its warm speakeasy vibe, accented by dark wood paneling, smoked mirrors, and a welcoming marble bar that invited guests to unwind and savor each moment.

Elevated New American Cuisine and Craft Cocktails

Little Bacch specialized in locally sourced New American fare that combined classic dishes with modern culinary techniques. Diners raved about standout offerings such as rainbow trout that literally melted on the palate, and an exceptional charcuterie featuring spiced salami and rabbit sausage. The house-made cultured butter with sea salt was so luscious, many guests admitted it was tempting enough to eat on its own.

 were another highlight, perfectly complementing the refined yet approachable menu. From oyster Rockefeller featuring Kumamoto oysters to parchment-baked grouper and 28-day dry-aged ribeye, the culinary experience was thoughtfully curated to delight all senses.

An Intimate Atmosphere with Attentive Service

The ambiance at Little Bacch was often described as "clubby" and rustic-chic, with comfortable leather couch seating, marble tables, and an aged cupboard showcasing glassware that enhanced the homely yet elegant feel. Service was consistently praised for its professionalism and attentiveness without being overbearing, reflecting a dedication to creating a personal and memorable dining experience.

 The restroom location outside the main dining area was cited by some as a minor inconvenience that slightly disrupted the overall intimacy.

Community sentiment and lasting impressions

Guests and critics alike held a positive view of Little Bacch, especially praising its intimate setting, quality ingredients, and impeccable service. While most dishes received high marks, some visitors felt the chocolate soufflé did not meet their expectations, highlighting the subjective nature of culinary experiences. Nevertheless, Little Bacch earned a reputation as a refined destination that offered a more focused and microscopic approach to upscale dining compared to its sister restaurant, Bacchanalia.

The service here is incredible, but I've come to expect it from Anne Quatrano's restaurants.  The attentiveness without appearing overbearing takes commitment and professional dedication. The grass fed, fresh churned butter was so delicious you could eat straight from the crockery. The rainbow trout melted in your mouth like butter. The sauce was a mild accompaniment that wasn't overpowering. The charcuterie,  divine. Our hugest disappointment was the chocolate souffle which tasted more like warm granules of sea salt than anything chocolate. All in all, for me, this place is a fab one time experience but definitely not somewhere I'd go back to.

I took my fiance and friend here a birthday and the special requests were accommodated without failure. Impressive but now expected from a Quatrano restaurant.

The interior was homely; even rustic. Leather couch seats and marble tables. Beautiful and tasteful. There's an aged cupboard which held glassware but it only added to the overall atmosphere.

The house-made cultured butter with sea salt is creamy and delicious. None of that rock butter. Spread that golden paste on their warmed sourdough bread and now you're golden. Quite remarkable, it was.

Some uncultured self-made "food-critics" on Yelp bashed the oyster rockefellers. I didn't see an issue with them since our waiter, RJ, explained to us that these were not prepared your typical way. If you pay attention to what the waiter tells you, there are no "tricks/gimmicks". Yelp; how typical.

The charcuterie was phenomenal. I didn't take to the Italian sausage much; a pity considering that I love Italian meats but the heated rabbit sausage and spiced salami made up for it ten-fold. There was also a wonderful spoonful of fresh mustard seeds (The kind eludes my mind).

My guests had the 28-day dry-aged ribeye while I the parchment baked grouper. I must say, while the steak was good it did not best the grouper.

Even though it was cooked sous vide before given the sear, the steak just didn't have the outside crust that gives it that nice, barely charred flavor without being bitter. And while it was recommended medium-rare, I feel that those who wish to try it should opt for medium to medium-rare-plus.
If you aren't into red meats, then go for the fish - though, by the time you go, it will probably be something different but I suspect no less savory.

For dessert, we had the chocolate souffle and quince/buttermilk tart.
I'm not sure where people get the idea that a souffle has to be thoroughly cooked (once more, couch-potato-food-critic yelp reviewers strike) but surely even THEY must understand that they ordered a souffle and not a cake or pie. A properly made souffle will seem slightly under-cooked in the middle.
Poor souls clearly never tasted a proper souffle before. They should stick to their Cheesecake Factory desserts (no crime to enjoy these but I at least understand that THESE are not souffles).

Taste wise? Beautiful and rich.
It was fluffy; a warm, chocolate center of ooze that wasn't runny, encased by the sugar-powder coated chocolate cloud.
Best part is that its served as is. No overbearing sauce was poured over to ruin its texture or flavors.

What about the tart, you ask? Well, it's a tart. You either make it right or you don't.

Though it's certainly no souffle . . .

They served the Black Sail mixed-tea drinks here from Bacchanalia. But it was a hit or miss depending on whether they used a lemon piece or an orange peel (orange peel is much better if you ask me).
I used the lemon pieces to flavor my water instead. I shan't be wasteful in this restaurant!

Final addendum:
Don't come to Little Bacch expecting to find a mini-Bacchanalia. They are two completely different animals. One is larger and accommodating; one is smaller and intimate. One is extravagant and open; one takes a microscopic approach to dining and has a menu to reflect that.

Overall, I'd give Little Bacch more credit than the dolts from Yelp do.
The food was par with Bacchanalia.
The service was exemplary (kudos to RJ).
The location is a tad inconvenient given that you have to walk down some stairs past the open courtyard of another restaurant (JCT Kitchen). Space is hard to come by in Atlanta.
I had one major qualm about Little Bacch, which was the restroom. It was located outside the restaurant, through a key-pad door (unlocked), and in a hallway. It took me out of the experience of the restaurant, which is bad. For an intimate restaurant, the restroom being far away is a bit of a tragedy and paradox.

Hence, 4 stars.

Do try Little Bacch. It won't be around for much longer, sadly.

And despite what those Yelper dolts will try to have you believe . . .

It's not because of the souffles.

Speakeasy atmosphere with a focused menu. Oyster Rockefeller with Kumamoto oysters was particularly good.
