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.

We dined at Acre for the second time tonight and it was even better than the first! We enjoyed the preset NYE menu and every dish we tried was delicious! Healthy portions for a preset menu and everything was planned and executed perfectly. As always, their cocktails and service are top notch! Well worth the price!

Really enjoyable, friendly valet, hostess and waitress. Fresh salad, delicious Tuna tar tar, excellent, crispy but light walleye. Enjoyed a bourbon up front and good cab with dinner. Beautiful decor and Sinatra playing in the background. Treat yourself! Looking forward to returning with friends that enjoy good cuisine.

The menu options are diverse and tempt any refined palete. Paul was a delightful, professional, and incredibly efficient host, especially considering he seems to also be tending the bar while waiting tables. The place has long been on our go list for Memphis-fine-dining-to-try. We'll be back. It's got a sort of fine, European ambiance going, and seems like the kind of place that would be equally delightful to pop in for drinks and dessert if dinner not an option.

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.

I'm a food blogger and huge foodie. I love to travel and experience new dishes. I visited Acre Restaurant and loved the quaint atmosphere they have. The food was nothing short than amazing. The flavors and sauces complimented the dishes very well. However service from our waiter Alex was awful. Other than that great job with menu!

Amazing place to have dinner with friends, a date or even business partners. Food is delicious and well presented, portions are good but not ver vast. The burrata and pork rib are espectacular. Drinks are fun and ambiance in general is relaxed, everything to guarantee you a good time. Service was good.

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.

ACRE has got to be one of the best places in Memphis to enjoy fantastic food. The salmon is very fresh and cooked to perfection. My go to dishes are their inventive soups! The squash soup has a creamy tiny eggplant flan in the middle of the bowl and sprinkled ground oatmeal with nuts? Which is toasted to give a nice crunchy texture... it sooooooo good! The wine list is fantastic and the staff is knowledgeable for suggesting pairings.

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

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

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

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
