Service was outstanding! Our server, Athena, was warm efficient, knowledgeable. When one of us had questions on ingredients, she went and checked and offered alternatives. The food was amazing - Zucchini fries were light and addictive, the autumn pear cocktail delightful (and how they carry them when filled to the brim is amazing), and the butter cake is a must have. We all enjoyed our various entrees. It was my first visit and won't be my last. And I will ask for Athena every time!

We had a lovely meal at Acre. Service was attentive, the room is pleasant and not too noisy. We both had pasta dishes that we enjoyed. We especially liked the fried olive appetizer.

EVERYTHING about our experience was top notch! Reuben, our server was welcoming, informative, funny and just the best we’ve ever had! The sampler of A3 and A4 Wagyu was enlightening. You really do have to eat them in that order to appreciate the difference. It does leave you wanting the A5 next time! All the staff made our dining so wonderful!
