   Hard to believe but the food continues to get better. Going from excellent to the next step is always tricky but Acre hits it out of the park. A perfect dining experience.

   Your receptionist, Molly, at the front desk is friendly and very courteous. Don't let her get away ! The wine list could use some more selections.

   Food is good. but service was not so good. The bus staff was attentive in keeping our water glasses filled and removing dirty plates, but our server was hard to find and we waited long periods of time to get drinks, to order, etc. Also entrees were not all delivered to the table in a reasonable amount of time. The youngest (15 year old) waited a long time for her entree - it arrived as others were finishing. He did apologize for his lack when he gave us the bill, so he was aware. We had leftover pizza we wanted to take home but after it was removed from the table it never made it back. This was my second visit to Acre. My previous visit the food was good and the service was good. I think this experience may have just been a fluke. Maybe the server was new?

   Unfortunately, the food quality has declined at Acre over the last few months. On my most recent visit, the soup, which is a staple on the menu, lacked its normal rich flavor and was swimming in olive oil. Likewise, the tuna melt was tasteless. You can find better tuna melts at almost any diner. Acre is an important anchor in the College Avenue food corridor, so I am hoping the food quality will soon return to its normal higher standard.

    Great food here. First class ingredients with inventive preparations especially when it comes to the small plates. The focaccia is light and non-greasy some of the best I've ever had and the flavored butter accompanying it is also yummy. Our apple and beet salad was a great mix of beets that tasted just off the farm, apples, lettuce with just the right amount of dressing. We asked to split it and they obligingly served it on two plates. Scampi with pasta featured pasta that was obviously made in house and plenty of big, tasty shrimp. The orange olive oil cake was dense but light and the orange scented creme fraiche added a perfect finishing touch . Even the coffee was good. Service was ok. We were asked a few too many times if everything was ok. While I appreciate the sentiment, they might want to tone it down a notch. On the other hand, we had to ask for water a couple of times and there there was confusion about who was doing what. Food this good deserves more professional service. The room itself is light and airy and the noise level gives the place a nice buzz while being quiet enough that it's background to your conversation. Acre truly has outstanding food and the dining room is a lovely airy place. This is my second visit and I will definitely be back.
