My husband and I love this place! And we are very picky... ;-) We have one more all time favorite place so far, which is La Rustica in West Seattle, but that's about it. The customer service these days is really bad...and it can totally ruin even the best food. This place is great in all aspects. We always get a great service. Waiters/waitresses are polite and very welcoming! We recommend this place to all our friends!

I have been familiar with this cozy sushi bistro for about 4 years now and from the day I discovered it I have referenced many friends to this business to hold their parties. I am a total food connoisseur and have a some food industry back ground myself. When I found Vi bacchus, I knew it had great potential and the moment I tried the sushi at this place, I knew the chef was no amateur. So everyone else I have recommended this place to have all rave about the same thing: the food is GREAT. You find quality and skill in the food and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. Recently, I finally had a chance to organize my own party at Vi Bacchus and I was more than excited. I had a party for about 20+ people and organized the event with my planner so that things will go smoothly for the restaurant and my guests. Embarrassingly on my part, I was late to two occasions with the restaurant (the meeting to set up a menu and the actual party), but they owners were still quite accommodating. I would say, however, that more professionalism and courtesy may have left a more lasting impression on me and my guests. there were many times when my party guests felt bad to ask for anything from the waitress because she was so busy and only came by to drop off food. Since America is all about preference, of course my guests and I wanted to ask for a little more of this or that so that the food is accentuated according to each individual's taste, but it was a little difficult to do. It's understandable, though, since there was only one person working the front. The business cannot rely on the quality of food alone, though, especially when America is all about customer service so I do hope that they will make improvements in that. Nonetheless, I have no complaints and will continue to have parties and dinners at Vi Bacchus. Before judging the cold exterior the chef and waitress seem to have, get to know them! They're very nice people! I highly recommend the Crazy Horse roll, the Kara-age chicken and the Umeshu Shochu I think i spelled that right. ^^ I have an upcoming staff meeting with my colleagues (who are also foodies :) ) and I'm already planning on holding this occasion at Vi Bacchus! So please don't be turned off by the customer service as I'm sure they are still learning the etiquettes and customs as business owners and running one in Seattle :) If this place should ever close, I would be devastated as I would have to venture out again to find a decent sushi place. I understand many people stop going to certain restaurants due to poor service, but Vi Bacchus is not run by staff who do not care about their customers so keep going! I'm sure you'll witness continuous improvements and progress as I have over the many years!

Food is amazing.. We went there as two people and the waitress was more interested in nagging us to get an order in, rather than being able to answer questions.... Had to ask for water most of the time... Wanted to sit a a table that was completely open an available and she said it was reserved.. LIE.. we were there until the place closed the kitchen, no one sat there..... Asked to have one of the appetizers to go and there is absolutely no to go boxes for anything except sushi!! Even if you couldnt eat the whole thing at the restaurant they wouldnt give you a to go box ......Thats crazy talk!!!! and to close the service complaint... This was on a sunday and they advertise HALF Prize appetizers on Sundays and we had to pay full price.. All In all Very deceiving service. VERY .. I dont complaint much if at all at restaurants.. i know people work hard for their money but this was crazy bad treatment.. Im sorry. Good food. Service treatment way DOWN!!!! Good Luck.

I really love the atmosphere and the fast and friendly service. The sushi and sake was awesome just what I expected and leaving me wanting more.

My boyfriend and i frequent this restaurant and i thought it best to give them a raving review! The restaurant is small, which allows for quick and prompt service b/c the servers can see you! The food is excellent, there's so much on the menu that we get a chance to order something different each time. The sake is AWESOME! It's a bit on the pricey side so if you go during their happy hour, you only pay half price - not a bad deal! The sushi is yummy - I highly recommend their Unagi, it simply melts in your mouth!
