    We had a Valentine's dinner reservation and opted to order from the menu instead of the Valentine's special. I had the filet mignon steak medium rare and my mouth was having a party. The steak was accompanied by a pinot noir that was a perfect pairing. We finished the meal with a trio desert that hit the hunger spot right on target. The table service by Jeff was excellent but the food was divine. I highly recommend the dining experience!

    When you walk into Bacio for Happy Hour or dinner it's always a vibrant atmosphere! Last night was no exception, in fact it was super electric by the time we arrived for our early 5:45 dinner reservation. It was a combination of early Valentine celebrations along with their special Cajun additions for the season! The specials were fabulous, felt like you were in the kitchen of Commander's Palace in New Orleans! Courtney knew what we liked and made some very good recommendations! Courtney is one of our favorites! Don't know how long the Cajun specials will be on the menu, but check them out before they're gone! And, if they are gone, there are plenty of great items that will never disappoint you!
