We dined at Acre last week, after a long absence. We had stayed away after a bad experience with the owner. I had brought a group of clients there and had a wonderful meal. Many ordered the skate with brown butter which was world class. After dinner, 1 client remained due to difficulty getting Uber. He ordered a drink and was told the register was closed. I quietly asked the owner if he could offer the drink on the house, and he declined. Had he been more accommodating, ACRE would have been at the top of the list for a substantial number of subsequent business dinners. My fiancé and I decided we would give Acre another try last week. We ordered the striped bass entree for $49. When the dish arrived there was what could only be described as two scraps of fish: One piece was less than a half inch thick and about 4 inches long, and after some searching, we found a second piece about half that size. I have never seen a striped bass small enough to yield a filet that thin. We asked the server to ask the kitchen if that was intentional or if there was a mistake. We were hopeful that a "do over" would result in the entrée described on the menu. Unfortunately, the server was clearly not in our court. Her attitude was passive /aggressive or at best indifferent. Despite specifically asking what the chef had to say, we received no visit or even feedback from the kitchen. What could have been handled with a laugh and a new or different entrée selection, quickly became uncomfortable. Hindsight is 20/20, but we should have considered our first bad experience a clear message that the culture at Acre is not a fit for us. We will not be back. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Acre. I've driven past it so many times without realizing what a gem it is. Once inside, I was immediately impressed by the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The food was outstanding, and the gnocchi was an absolute standout for me. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. If you're looking for a spot to treat yourself to a special night out, this is definitely the place to go. read more

My experience at Acre was great. This is one of the coziest restaurants I've been to in Memphis. The food and drinks were excellent, and so was the service. I loved the foie gras torchon and would recommend it to anyone. The short rib gnocchi was rich and pillowy and a huge portion for the price. The rotolo with morels was one of the tastiest, and prettiest, pasta dishes I've tried. I look forward to my next visit here. read more

Always a wonderful experience when we visit. Love to sit in the bar area for martinis and dinner. Relaxing experience without ever feeling rushed. Food is always amazing read more

Hands down, ACRE is my favorite Memphis restaurant. There is no question and no contest - ACRE is it. Why? Consistency - in both service and product. Not that we go here all of the time because it is a nice little penny (though worth it!), there has never been a time where we had bad service or even average food. Even for things that I wasn't the big fan of, they were still well-made and nicely done. I also love that it's a "fine dining" establishment that doesn't act like it. It's nice to go to a down-to-earth place without all of the pretension and nonsense that comes with that experience sometimes. Our last visit there included the cassoulet, short rib, and duck confit fried black rice. I wasn't big on the cassoulet, though my husband loved it, but the other two were superb! Then again, I don't think you can go wrong here. Go, enjoy it, and don't pay too much mind to the prices. They are still reasonable but a bit high. read more

Beautiful setting in tree shaded house in East Memphis. However, everything is overpriced. A very limited menu, heavy on red meat. The service was excellent. However, I won't return I will not return. read more

Fine dining in Memphis is not easy to find. This place has the ambiance and the menu to deliver. Been here many times with clients. Snooty service, but would recommend. read more

Holy moly! This place is divine:) First, Lily (bartender) is absolutely superb...her cocktails are heavenly! Second, the food...wow! So fresh and well crafted. We split the roasted carrots with avocado, walnut, labneh and white truffle honey (so flavorful) and the Piedmontese gnocchi with short rib and smoked potato sauce (hearty elevated comfort food). Those two dishes were more than enough for the two of us...we had leftovers to take home. Go, sit at the bar, watch Lily work her magic, and taste the farm to table deliciousness that comes of the kitchen! read more

Came here for a wedding rehearsal dinner and loved the ambiance, service, and food! The cornbread panzanella salad was unique and delightful. The cornbread made it more interesting and more Southern, which I really enjoyed. I had the wild king salmon with grits as my main, and it was so tender. The grits were rich and creamy. For dessert, we had an assortment of mini ones - I tried the panna cotta, which was good, the chocolate mousse, which was excellent, and a macaron, which was also excellent. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner last week. Food was all right. Nothing we ordered for appetizers or entrees were anything we'd order again. This includes the broccolini, the smoked farro, the NY steak and the Rib Eye. Both steaks were not accurately cooked to temp and had a lack of seasoning. The desserts were our favorite part of the meal, especially the sticky date cake and the hazelnut chocolate tart. Those desserts redeemed the whole experience! Bottle of wine (Pinot Noir) was really nice and paired well with our food. Our server was good/fair. Ambiance was excellent. The atmosphere itself and the patio are exquisite. read more

We went to ACRE for a rehearsal dinner and it was fantastic. The restaurant itself is beautiful - it looks and feels like an old home that was converted into a restaurant. Very intimate and perfect for our group size. The salad to start was amazing, I wish I could recreate the dressing. I had the salmon with black rice and it was perfect. Service was great, my only suggestion would be that the servers wait to deliver drinks/food until after the toast/speech is finished. I understand that is tough but the speeches were very short! Otherwise, I loved ACRE and would return next time I'm in town. read more

If I could leave a negative star I would. I had dinner there tonight 2/12/22 and had a horrible experience. I know since Covid it's hard to find good employees that actually care about costumer service but wen you are spending over $160 for 2 people plus tip I was expecting a little more than an attitude and perhaps a refill. My girlfriend got the NY strip and I got the Pork Both of them were crispy on the outside and completely raw on the inside. She sent hers back 2 times and finally got a burn dried steak but I completely lost my appetite after tasting uncooked pork. read more

Food was phenomenal! Chef came out and it was obvious that he took pride in his creations. Morgan the Bartender was an absolute disgrace "B" for this establishment. My whole group felt like we were bothering her. We had to ask 3-4 times to get refills of drinks. If you sit at a table this will likely be 5 star restaurant. read more

We dined here with friends and the food ,service , and ambiance were wonderful! The server Sonja was extremely knowledgeable of the menu offerings and suggested her favorites as well . We were a party of four and ordered the filet , the halibut , cauliflower, au gratin , broccolini, potatoes, mushroom risotto , salad and banana tarts for dessert. Libations included red wine , specialty tequila cocktails and rose . The steak was amazing with flavorful gravy and the halibut was fresh and tasty ! The restaurant is a beautiful space with a small bar , great dining area and patio offerings. The only reason I didn't give them five stars, is the menu is a bit limited for entree selections and the reservation process is not automated (you have to call in - no online bookings ) and they call yuh back to confirm , which can be a bit inconvenient. read more

We haven't frequented any restaurants of late due to the Covid-19 pandemic but this was a special occasion. It's not everyday your husband turns 40! I am so glad Acre was the destination we chose, after stepping out of protective bubble. They took all the necessary precautions and kept the restaurant at 25% capacity. Now to the food. Everything we ordered was amazing, but I was an especially huge fan of the gnocci. I really don't come here enough but suspect we will become regular patrons. read more

ACRE - Mushroom pie, not what you would expect! Incredible - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

3.5 stars according to my standards but for Memphis 5 stars because there is nothing better in this god forsaken city. The menu is great we got a total of 9 small plates. I want to say 5 dishes were good, 2 great, 2 we sent back. It's a beautiful ambiance, very romantic. Food is good and we will be back for the other main items. To me, this is the best restaurant in Memphis if you are coming from large metropolitan type cities like NYC, LA, etc. otherwise this would be a 6.5/10 type restaurant in those kinds of big cities. For Memphis? 9.5/10. Service was not the greatest. Our server was just short and rude typical of Memphis service. Whatever I am used it at this point lol. But yes like others have said the service is whatever for what you pay for but it's not "horrible" like others like to exaggerate. I say try this place. $25 corkage fee and delicious cocktails. read more

I visited Acre on a dark, rainy night and drove right past it and was given instructions on how to find it "look for the yellow door". Once I arrived, it felt like a nice home. My friends were at the bar in the back and had ordered the charcuterie tray, chickpea fries, and burger. Everything looked great. I decided to order the Kim Chi fries and truly believe I made the best decision. There were so many fries and there was just the right amount of toppings. The Bulgogi Beef, Cheese, and more made it the most high classed bowl of fries that I ever sank my teeth into. They have a full menu and I'm sure you'll find something great too. read more

Acre Restaurant has always been a favorite place for my husband and I. So we decided to celebrate my 60th birthday there by having a private party for 24 people. We reserved the front dining room that evening. I can't even tell you how much they exceeded our expectations. Every aspect was perfection. The food, the drinks, the service was all world class. I worked with their event planner and they were so accommodating to working together with my floral designer and my photographer. The night was magical and I can't thank Chef Andrew, owner Wally Joe, event planner Margo and all the wait staff enough. We started off with a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres that included: Roasted Tomato Bisque in mini glasses & Grilled Cheese Crostini Crawfish, Corn & Okra Stuffed Hushpuppies Twice Baked Fingerling Potatoes Truffle, Bacon, Scallions & Parmesan ​ Then we moved on to a salad starter: Mixed green salad with Roasted Apples, Goat Cheese, Walnuts & Ginger-Apple Vinaigrette The entree choices were: Roasted Chicken Galantine With Bacon, Roasted Root Vegetables, Brussels Sprouts & Thyme Chicken Jus SPANISH SEABASS With Braised Fennel, Shiitake-Butternut Squash Gratin & Almond-Shellfish Sauce IN-HOUSE 40 DAY DRY-AGED RIBEYE With Aligot Potatoes, Garlicy Broccoli & Soy-Red Wine Sauce BRAISED VEAL OSSO BUCO​ With Porcini-Ricotta Gnudi, Charred Broccolini & Dijon-Anchovy Sauce Dessert was an amazing chocolate cake with French buttercream frosting and also a house made strawberry sorbet. read more

The food and service are phenomenal! I've eaten here so many times and have never been disappointed. I particularly like the duck fried rice but it's impossible to go wrong here. If you're lucky they'll seat you by the fireplace and turn it on, which is quite cozy. The reservation system is the only reason I took off a star, otherwise it's a solid 5/5. I would eat here a lot more if they had online reservations. By the time I leave a message and get a call back, most of the time I've already booked another table somewhere else. Give this place a shot! read more

Service and food at Acre were fantastic. Definitely one of Memphis' best dining experiences. My only negative is that the menu is a little odd, the smallest cut of meat was 14oz and we all struggled with what to order for our main dish. Ultimately though we loved everything we got, and we took home tons of leftovers. Highlights were the gnocchi, cauliflower, wild boar gnudi, the veal crepinette and all of the desserts! read more

We came here for dinner and the service was incredible! As for the food, it lacked basic flavor in my opinion. We started with the octopus and it was pretty good, the oxtail in it was the star of the fish. For our main courses, we ordered the monkfish and the braised beef short rib. The monkfish texture was incredible since it was olive oil poached, however there was zero flavor. The short rib was good - garlic mashed potatoes were incredible. Overall somewhat disappointed with the food but might give it a second shot in the future. read more

What can I say? This was an amazing recommendation from a friend that lives in Memphis. The restaurant is a charming former house, redone very nicely with natural light and simple, elegant décor. I started, on this warm summer evening with the Champs de Provence Rose' while I perused the amazing offerings for "First Course". It was crisp, just a little fruity and refreshing. For my first course, I decided on the lighter, smaller option of the Kampachi crudo with avocado-lemon oil, pesto, Marcona almonds, pickled mustard seeds and castelvetrano olives. This dish was SUPER FRESH AND LIGHT. The lemon oil is perfect with the fish, maintaining the fresh and light theme, although (not being a wine aficionado and certainly not a sommelier) the rose' did not pair well with this selection. About the time I finished the crudo, the house bread arrived. I was in heaven, again, with the nutty, chewy 12-grain bread and the salted sweet cream butter. With my dinner, I ordered the Tinta de toro, Victorino - dry, fruity, black cherry and chocolate. This was the best selection I made the entire meal, seriously... I still (a week later) can't stop thinking about this wine! It paired very well with the grilled porterhouse (pork), Oh.My.God good - yes, it was that good! It was served with ham hock sautéed cabbage, fingerling potatoes and a crushed tomato sauce. I was already getting full by this time, but I cleaned my plate anyway... (so good I forgot to take a photo!) And since I still had a bit of this delectable wine left, I ordered dessert! The dark chocolate mouse cake which was dense and rich and oh, so delish. (Best part - it paired famously with the red wine). I've already recommended Acre to everyone I've encountered since my visit... You won't be disappointed! read more

Acre is our favorite restaurant in town. The patio is beautiful and quiet. The decor inside is perfectly on trend and the architecture is very cool). The vegetarian options are fantastic (I recommend the heirloom tomatoes and mushroom pie). The cocktail menu is fun and their bourbon selection is amazing (and not too bad a value). read more

Hidden gem in East Memphis. My wife just happened to find this place on Google Maps when she was searching for something else. We looked it up and decided to have our anniversary dinner there as it looked like a cool, low key, and fancy spot. It is all three. It's actually inside of an old house right off of Perkins. The interior is really nice, but the patio is where I recommend sitting. Great wine list. The food was next level. Everything on the menu looked outstanding. We will definitely be back for a special occasion dinner, or when we have guests in town looking for something besides BBQ. read more

This restaurant is Beautiful, cozy and romantic. Service staff was attentive and thoughtful.

Great atmosphere, amazing service, and overall good food. I went recently for my wife's birthday. It was a Thursday night and from 6-6:30 we were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered the octopus as an appetizer- overall it was good but octopus was cooked a bit too long and was chewy, the black garlic was DELISH but we only got one clove, and the oxtail was a bit chewier than I've had before. Flavors were amazing, happy with the app, but just a couple things could have been a bit better. The mushroom polenta was my favorite! Varying mushrooms with different textures and amazing earthy flavor. The pork chop porterhouse was good and smoky but I would have liked some type of contrasting flavor to cut the smoke/salt taste. Overall, happy with the experience and I'll probably return; however, for the price and the excellent restaurants popping up all over Memphis it's not quite at the top of my list. read more

Charming, homey restaurant surrounded by lush shady green trees...boar ragu and sticky toffee pudding highly recommended!

Wow. I am so glad that I finally had dinner here! First of all, I can't believe how nice everyone was. From the bartender to Wally Joe, every person I met was incredibly kind. Especially the bartender! She was absolutely amazing. The entire night I felt like I was in a ski lodge. The ambiance is incredibly charming. I fell in love with the horse photographs and the complimentary valet was also a plus. My only teensy, tiny issue was with the menu. There were only a handful of things I would order. I finally decided on the ribeye and it was quite good, but not knock my socks off. I don't know if they change the menu regularly but I would love to see what else they have. And they didn't have any specials tonight either. However, the dessert was absolutely mind blowing. The apple pie and chocolate whatever was gone in 2 seconds. I will definitely be back! read more
