    Food was as good as frozen food goes. Had the calamari and the branzino, they were both on the bland side. Had the chocolate mousse for dessert, which was good. But then again you can’t go wrong with a chocolate-based dessert. Chain restaurants offer similar meals for about half the price or less. At least the ambiance was good.

    The restaurant has an identity crisis, it doesn’t know what it wants to be. Has a bit of everything but isn’t particularly amazing in anything.

    Very much enjoyed the meal, service, and outdoor environment with the space heaters unexpected, and the nearby firepit just lovely. The appetizers were excellent, as were the entrees and sides, though the steak, requested medium was closer to well-done - a common occurrence. But the flavor and quality were extremely high.

    What a treat to eat here! The outdoor dining space is fantastic! Tables are more than 6 feet apart, so it felt very safe. The food was delicious and the wait staff very attentive;. It was my first time dining here, but I will come back again and again

    This is a lovely spot, but they just can't seem to get their act together. My vodka martini was almost undrinkable (it tasted like a glass of olive juice with a little vodka poured in). The food was fine, nothing special. The service was professional. We've lived in this neighborhood for about 2 1/2 years now, and this place used to be worse. Lately it has improved (both food and service), but our last visit was a bit of a dud. If you don't know how to make a vodka martini, get out a bartender's guide and figure it out! We'll be back, but one day soon we may just give up.

    Acacia is great for social distance dining. I love their large patio, and the food is good as well 👍🏼

    I always enjoy it there. It's international but a neighborhood place at the same time. The food is fine, but the menu is currently reduced.

    Visited for Sunday brunch 7/26 outside on the patio. Fantastic service with excellent safety protocols. Vegetarian options, non-alcoholic beer, and a great location make for a wonderful dining experience. Service was attentive but not intrusive and the patio is set up with safety in mind for both guests and staff. Would absolutely go again.

    Acacia is a neighborhood sleeper. It's always nice, and the food is always good. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but lately it has been excellent. We'll be back!
