"Salads and dessert were lovely. Husband's fish entree - very nice. I got the vegetarian eggplant dish. Sadly, the mushrooms in the dish were past their prime - too funky to eat. Server gave us free dessert, but the kitchen needs to set higher standards for themselves."

"We went to the Easter brunch, it was crowded and the noise was quite loud. The food was terrible.
We had to ask for bread and when served was yeasty slightly sweet rolls, the rolls were fine but were served with
olive oil rather than butter -- not very good. The fruit salad starter contained very fibrous pineapple and
my crab cake eggs benedict had a very fishy mostly bread crumbs crab cake and two poached eggs one with a runny yolk and the other solid. It also had the thinnest ham slice I have ever seen, thinner than most proscuitto. The omelettes were bland and under seasoned and the lamb, said to be medium rare, was overdone. Any of the local diners would have been a better choice."

"I expected a nice quiet dinner with friends. I couldn't hear anyone who wasn't sitting right next to me. Service was slow At least one order was wrong. And at the evenings end the bill was wrong. Not a great night"

"We had dinner on Valentines Day and the place was busy but we were seated within minutes of our reservation. Our waitress was very knowledge about the dining options. We were very happy with our selections, the portions were large, very flavorful and presented beautifully. The restaurant was buzzing with activity, our meal was excellent and our waitress was lovely, what more can you ask for?"

"We have eaten here many times over the years and usually have a very fine experience. This time, two in our party ordered one of the specials: Strip steak with a colossal prawn. The steak was not tender and the prawn was mushy.They did not enjoy it. This was a Saturday night. My meal was very good, also a special: Tile fish and small crab cake with sauteed veggies. Also, the portions were quite large compared to previous visits. We would rather smaller portions, and fresh ingredients, than larger portions and less fresh ingredients."

"We were four people, two of whom ordered the Griggstown chicken entree. It was so dry that it was almost difficult to swallow it. We ordered sorbet for dessert and it was quite tasteless, mostly ice crystals. There was a photographer there that evening, taking photographs for the website, so we ended up having flashbulbs in our eyes the entire meal. All that said, it's a convenient location and will be good when we can eat outdoors in the spring."

"We returned to Acacia for the first time in a couple of years, and what a let down. In the past we found the food always great the atmosphere comforting and inviting and price point good. It appears that has changed the food was fair the menu narrow and for a BYOB offering dishes greater than $35.00 in some cases,I would suggest going elsewhere. The dining area is a bit warn down and dollar for dollar there are far better restaurants coming in at the same price better ambiance regardless a BYOB or NOT."
