We had a very enjoyable evening at Bacquet’s. The atmosphere feels warm and classic, and it’s nice to have a restaurant in the Eagle area offering traditional French-inspired dishes and thoughtful wine service. We started with the escargots, which were beautifully presented in shell with a rich garlic-herb butter. The texture leaned quite soft with a pronounced earthy/mineral note compared with some versions we’ve had elsewhere — likely reflecting the realities of sourcing specialty ingredients locally — but we appreciated seeing this classic dish on the menu. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly medium, tender and juicy with excellent preparation. The red wine reduction was bold and assertive, leaning slightly herbal/bitter for our personal taste, though it clearly aimed to balance the richness of the lamb. A standout for us was the scallop special, nicely seared and paired with a mango-based sauce that felt more contemporary than traditional French. The fruit notes were very well balanced, especially alongside the sweet wine being served that evening, and made for a memorable pairing. Overall, we enjoyed the experience — attentive service, a cozy bistro atmosphere, and a menu that mixes classic French ideas with some creative touches. We look forward to coming back and trying more dishes.

Our family celebrated our moms 80th birthday on Saturday, 2/7/26 with a "Breakfast at Tiffanys" themed "brunch at Bacquets" in the annex more private room, and it was fantastique! Their attention to detail, help with set up, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food was everything. We love Bacquets for special occasions and when we want to enjoy a fabulous meal and quality time together to linger. This is fine dining, not a sports bar, no tv's. I worked with the owners planning the menu and they suggested the beverage and dessert. We were able to bring in our own family musicians and decor to have a truly elevated experience. This birthday was so incredibly special and will be in all my families memories for years to come. Bon Appetit! P.S. You have try the prime rib-usually on Thursday nights!

Bacquet's has been on my to go list for a long time. My cousin wanted to celebrate her birthday here so it's finally my time to try it out! Our reservation was at 6:30. I showed up first and was sat at our table that was beautifully set. After everyone showed up, we got to looking over the menu. Everything on the menu looked good. I'm not a big protein eater so my options were quite limited. What I did see that I could have was the ratatouille pasta. I did notice on their lunch menu that they offer a couple salads. It would have been nice to have that option for dinner. After orders were placed, we enjoyed the fresh bread and butter. There was a live band playing in the background which created such a nice vibe to the place. The bread was fabulous! It was warm, crusty on the outside and so soft in the middle. The butter that was paired with the bread was delicious! So soft and salty. It was hard not to over butter the bread, it was the perfect vessel for the butter. I did order the soup de jour to start. It's a black truffle cream of asparagus soup. First glance at the soup, it looked creamy and rich. The croutons on top were perfectly golden. After a couple bites, rich is how I would describe this soup. It was savory and thick. The croutons added a nice texture to the soup. I was able to eat about half. It honestly was too rich. And then you add the buttery croutons, it was overwhelming. It would have have nice to have small pieces of asparagus to help with the texture and less croutons. Dinner took a while to come out. My pasta was prettily plated in a big pasta bowl. You can see the papperdelle pasta covered in the sauce. The pieces of zucchini, egg plant and bell pepper were delicately diced. The papperdelle was cooked nicely. The sauce was hearty from the veggies. The sauce also had a nice heat to it. It could have used a hair more salt to the dish. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper at the table but non was available. As hearty as the sauce was, it was underwhelming in flavor. We did end dinner with some bread pudding and creme brulee. Both were devine! The bread pudding was hot and sweet. You can tell that it came straight out the oven. The creme brulee was creamy. The sugar crust added a nice bitter element to the custard. Both were beautifully presented. I think I would have enjoyed this experience if we didn't have such long wait times for everything. It took us 3 hours from start to finish. Long wait time for our starters, for dinner and then for dessert. The bread and butter as fantastic. The soup was overwhelmingly rich. The pasta needed more seasoning. It was a neat experience with the live music and ambiance of the venue but the food was just ok for me.
