Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in West Trenton

I really enjoyed my meal at Acacia on Thursday night. The calamari appetizer was so delicious. I never tasted anything like that before. Such a unique twist on a menu staple. No other calamari's will compare to it. My entree was the Blackened Mahi Mahi. It was done to perfection. Coconut rice was delicious as was the mango salsa. Fish was not dry but nice and moist. My only issue with Acacia and the reason we will not return was the noise level. I would not describe it as energetic but instead it was down right rude. The 3 large tables separated from the rest of the diners by a folding screen was not enough to contain the obnoxious level of noise. It ruined our dining experience and was the reason we did not stay for dessert. Some people don't know how to behave outside of their home and this was the case. Someone from the staff should have said something to them. But of course nowadays nobody wants to insult someone and risk them not returning. From the facial expressions of the diners in our area they were all annoyed. Too bad because we enjoyed the food but won't return.

From the hostess to settling my tab; excellent. Food A+, beer A+ and service A+!! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back!! Great 1st time experience!!

The place is beautiful and welcoming. The room we ate in was small and intimate. Our waitress was amazing, very attentive and accommodating . The food was delicious, I had eggs benedict on sourdough bread and potatoes - really excellent. Two people had the smash burger which had a fried egg, pork roll and fries and they raved about their meal. The fourth person had a wedge saalad with shrimp. We all shared an incredible slice of chocolate mousse cake - I would have happily polished off a slice on my own. We will definitely return there again

Lovely experience at Stella’s, our server Jack was very accommodating.

Very creative and great tasting food with excellent service!
