The food was bad. Overall bad. We waited over an hour for the main course. The place was not crowded. The carbona was cold and congealed. Did not eat. Terrible. The trout dip tasted like lemon. No fish flavor at all. Painfully bad. The pork so dry. Like sawdust. The fried calamari was amazing. Only good thing. The servers were really nice. Offered desert on the house. Didn’t want to be disappointed anymore. I would have given one star except for the wait staff. Great people. Terrible meal but we tipped well.

I cant say enough about Acacia. I was looking for a venue for my daughter’s surprise 30th birthday party. I live about an hour and half away so everything was handled by phone . We were lucky enough to be referred to Acacia. Were able to reserve the entire restaurant which seats about 50 people on a Saturday night. Lauren ( owner) could not have been easier to work with or more accommodating. Her suggestions were on point. The service was wonderful. She arranged for a bartender who also was fabulous and was happy to make delicious drinks including mocktails for those who dont imbibe alcohol. Now onto the food. We had never personally eaten here. I will summarize the food by my sisters opinion of the chicken dinner. She not only thought it delicious and moist but “melt in you mouth good!”. That was the consensus about all the food including appetizers and desserts. Lauren allowed us to bring in our own birthday cake, sliced and served it without any up charge. (which you find at many other places). They wrapped up leftovers for us also. Now I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu as a regular patron the next time I visit my daughter.

Excellent dining, attentive server, and excellent service and food in the middle of a packed night. Despite a full house with multiple large Christmas parties they made us feel as if we were the main table in the house, service outstanding pear salad, calamari, shrimp and scallops or lentils what’s an excellent coconut curry and some decent duck. One of our colleagues had aposta slash risotto dish made up as a vegetarian option and absolutely loved it. not quite sure how they did it and made it seem so effortless but we really appreciated the food and the service. The restaurant itself is like one large room with many tables perhaps seeming a little tight tonight just given the crowd but once you get past the initial impression I’ll be a very nicely decorated, we really sagat ourselves as we got lost in the wonderful meal.

Ordered takeout. Servers were nice. The Pear salad w/ Honey Balsamic and the Ricotta toast were exceptional. I ate every bit of it.

Great first time, middle of day, large group accommodating, find!! Didn’t realize it was BYOB, will remember for next time. Get the mussels & ask for a to go bowl for the sauce, it’s amazing! Duck mac and cheese hit all the right spots. Crab cake sandwich was PERFECT. Can’t wait to go again!

Attended a surprise birthday party for my daughter on Saturday night that my son in law put together at Acacia. We arrived early to set up some items for the surprise. Lauren introduced herself and explained what the plan was for the evening. Her staff were all very helpful, friendly and on top of everything throughout the night. Service was excellent! Since Acacia is a BYOB they already had all the provided beverages set up and on ice when needed. The tables were set with tablecloths and all the the needed place settings. The appetizers were brought around which were delicious and always hot! The food choices were excellent and served piping hot also. Received comments from guests that food was excellent. I had the short ribs which were tender and also delicious. The deserts were wonderful! The “icing on the cake” (no pun intended) was the birthday cake that was made in house with real buttercream frosting and fruit. I have to say that Lauren and her staff made sure everyone had a good time, always had what we needed and provided a wonderful experience for all the partygoers. I would highly recommend considering Acacia for your next special event! My wife and I would like to return in the future for a nice dinner maybe even with our daughter and her husband!
