I think a 3.something overall average rating is spot-on for this restaurant. The establishment itself is amazing. The interior is gorgeous with all the wood throughout. The patio is wonderful and it's off the beaten path of other Memphis restaurants so privacy and size was nice. I took my girlfriend here last night and received great service on the patio. We ordered spring rolls from the bar which were delivered fairly quickly. They didn't seem to come right out of the fryer but were still good nonetheless. (acceptance from ordering off the bar menu) My date ordered the scallops entree and I got the snapper. The scallops were really good. Very rich, tender and plentiful. The snapper was a tad dry due to the thickness of the thin filet. The sides with both dishes were good compliments to the main flavor. We went here knowing we were splurging for date night but the price for everything, IMO, was about $30-$40 too high. The wine list was very expensive even for someone just wanting a taste with their meal. I would put Acre in my top-10 fine dining establishments in Memphis mostly due to the physical structure of the place but it failed to wow me for the price and quality of the overall experience. We will probably return, however, to sit at that awesome bar and take in the beautiful scenery.
If you are an adventurous eater, this is your place. The menu is very different than from what you would usually see in Memphis. There are some recognizable dishes, but if you come here PLEASE try something different. You won't be disappointed.
I've some odd & traditional dishes. I have enjoyed all of them. You can't go wrong with anything you order. SO ENJOY!!!
I also enjoy the back patio. It is a hidden oasis. You can come here to enjoy a specialty drink or unwind while drinking a cocktail with a friend.
Game Changer for Memphis!. This is one of those restaurants where it all comes together. Start with the food...it is good. They have enough variety and creativity but not one of those places that lists 25 ingredients with 23 you never heard of before. Good wine list with a lot of reasonably priced options. Service is friendly and professional. Finally the restaurant is set in an old home that was remodeled in a very contemporary fashion. Best of all is the outdoor patio where you can dine outside or just have drinks. I think this restaurant does the best job of pulling everything together in Memphis. It feels like a restaurant you'd discover in California...only it's in Memphis.
