    Lamb loin with polenta and chanterelles

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wonderful experience, not your ordinary menu... which is a huge PLUS!! Our waitress was attentive and we received plenty of food. Whoever the bartender was, made our taste buds very happy:)))

    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.

    Mushroom pie, not what you would expect! Incredible

    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.

    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.

    Perfect night out!…read more I selected Napa Cafe for the ambiance and great food selections. They didn't miss a beat! I had reservations for 7:45 but the seating took a little minute due to large celebrations beforehand. Upon booking, I was unaware of live music on Saturdays so that was a surprise and a great treat. The artist is a well known local musician, he was phenomenal! We ordered the blackened shrimp dumplings and the baked crab dip for starters. The dumplings had an unique savory taste but it had the texture of grounded meat instead which was interesting. However the taste was delicious. I loved how the tomato bacon gravy brought it all together. The complimentary bread went better with the crab dip than the French baguette toast that it came with. Now for the entrees...salmon with black rice, mushrooms, topped with beet emulsion and shrimp and grits! Perfectly seasoned and nice portion. The pictures speak for themselves. Our waiter, I believe named Gary was very attentive, helpful, and courteous. He stated he's a veteran when it came to this restaurant and I can see how. He described everything in details and gave great suggestions. I am looking forward to another visit!

Looking back, I would have much preferred to have been told at the door if we didn't meet the dress code rather than being seated. Throughout our meal, we felt judged by both the staff and some of the people around us. It made for a very uncomfortable experience, and we left feeling like we weren't treated the same as other guests. I completely respect that restaurants have dress codes, but I wish it had been communicated more clearly and handled before we were seated.

On the buffet there was a variety of foods to create a taco with small flour tortillas or a taco salad with chips. There were seasoned chicken, beef, fajitas vegetables, queso, sour cream, guacamole, and chips. Also available was taco soup. The server brought you salad dressing for your salad. Strawberry Shortcake was the dessert on the salad bar. Service was awesome. Cassandra was very friendly and helped us tremendously. She was attentive and so nice. The restaurant was super clean and decorated with a golf cart and very pretty metal decor. The lunch buffet foods change each day. Call before you check it out to see what the daily special will be. You can also order items from a small lunch menu if you do not want the daily all you can eat buffet. At the end of lunch, the special treat was the infamous Doubletree Chocolate Chip cookie! Yum.

Very informative, with different wines from different regions for each course. I learned so much, and it really gave me a newfound respect for people that really care about wine. I have a lot to learn, but the vibe was so cool and educational (not stuck up as i had feared!) The wine dinner inspired me to go for lunch during the week, as I work pretty close by. I was elated to learn they just introduced a lunch buffet for those of us who need to grab a quick bite and get back to it. For $15 (an amount I could easily drop in a drive thru these days), I was able to enjoy a full fledged meal, complete with soup, salad, and dessert! On the day I visited, they had smothered pork chops, a cajun andouille sausage medley, wild rice, steamed vegetables, and broccoli cheese soup. I may or may not have needed a nap later, but i can promise i was having sweet dreams about my next visit! :)

    Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up.

He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!
