I think a 3.something overall average rating is spot-on for this restaurant. The establishment itself is amazing. The interior is gorgeous with all the wood throughout. The patio is wonderful and it's off the beaten path of other Memphis restaurants so privacy and size was nice. I took my girlfriend here last night and received great service on the patio. We ordered spring rolls from the bar which were delivered fairly quickly. They didn't seem to come right out of the fryer but were still good nonetheless. (acceptance from ordering off the bar menu) My date ordered the scallops entree and I got the snapper. The scallops were really good. Very rich, tender and plentiful. The snapper was a tad dry due to the thickness of the thin filet. The sides with both dishes were good compliments to the main flavor. We went here knowing we were splurging for date night but the price for everything, IMO, was about $30-$40 too high. The wine list was very expensive even for someone just wanting a taste with their meal. I would put Acre in my top-10 fine dining establishments in Memphis mostly due to the physical structure of the place but it failed to wow me for the price and quality of the overall experience. We will probably return, however, to sit at that awesome bar and take in the beautiful scenery.
If you are an adventurous eater, this is your place. The menu is very different than from what you would usually see in Memphis. There are some recognizable dishes, but if you come here PLEASE try something different. You won't be disappointed.
I've some odd & traditional dishes. I have enjoyed all of them. You can't go wrong with anything you order. SO ENJOY!!!
I also enjoy the back patio. It is a hidden oasis. You can come here to enjoy a specialty drink or unwind while drinking a cocktail with a friend.
Game Changer for Memphis!. This is one of those restaurants where it all comes together. Start with the food...it is good. They have enough variety and creativity but not one of those places that lists 25 ingredients with 23 you never heard of before. Good wine list with a lot of reasonably priced options. Service is friendly and professional. Finally the restaurant is set in an old home that was remodeled in a very contemporary fashion. Best of all is the outdoor patio where you can dine outside or just have drinks. I think this restaurant does the best job of pulling everything together in Memphis. It feels like a restaurant you'd discover in California...only it's in Memphis.

A REALISTIC review. I've eaten at Acre probably 5 or 6 times now and I always really enjoy it. The patio is quite nice compared to most, but I've eaten inside as well. The menu seems to always be changing- which I enjoy (although I miss those shortribs!)- so there is always something new for me to try. Now, I'm not going to say every dish I've ever eaten there is the best dish on Earth, because, let's be real- some things are going to be home runs and some are gonna be ground rule doubles. However, to read these reviews that accuse Acre of using "bottled salad dressing like Chili's" and serving "raw fish over leftovers" are bizarre. Go look around the back. Why would a restaurant waste time with a big garden and a grow tower to serve leftovers? And why would they serve bottled dressing when its probably cheaper to make it in bulk anyway? And have you ever been to Chili's? Maybe the review was from someone who works there, but I'll skip the Triple Dipper and being strong armed into a Top Shelf frozen margarita by a freaked out 20 year old who would obviously be anywhere else. Anyway, yes the portions are not huge. They are not covered with mounds of fries or mashed potatoes, but I've never left hungry. And if I'm famished my money is better spent at a buffet anyway. Acre is where I go to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and savor the flavors of a nice meal. I'm not saying you have to like the place, but if you're gonna write a review, don't make it so obvious that you have an agenda!
Loved it! - great atmosphere overall feel. Good lighting and decor. But that's just the start. The food and menu were great. You wont find this menu selection anywhere else. The service was exactly what you want on a date night.. we were left alone but never left without or wanting. Good job with this one!

Great Upscale Dining Experience. We recently had a wonderful dining experience at Acre. The dining room is absolutely beautiful, yet comfortable and inviting. Our service was attentive without being pushy or overbearing. We were brought warm bread soon after ordering and brought another basket without having to ask. My watermelon salad was a solid salad, but the halibut entree and warm sticky toffee pudding dessert were both absolutely outstanding. Overall, it was a great dinner, and I can't wait to go back!
Beautiful setting. Stunning interior and exterior. Service was excellent. The menu is limited and while the appetizer selection is creative, the salads were basic, the entree's were lacking in creativity. I had the halibut and would not recommend it. The fish was flavorless - did not taste like true Alaska Halibut but the rest of our party enjoyed their meals. I think I would be more impressed if the limited menu meant that each item was prepared to perfection - however that wasn't the case. Still though it is a beautiful restaurant and has potential.
Fine dining comes to Memphis!. Enjoyed a wonderful evening with an excellent dining experience at Acre. Superb service, along with a delicious, very creative menu, extensive wine selections made for a unique dining experience. We will recomend Acre to our friends and look forward to a return visit.

Great addition to the East Memphis dining scene. First of all, the space is amazing. Inside, the atmosphere feels like a swank lodge and there's a beautiful patio.
The bar space is perfect. Intimate and cool with an extensive specialty drink list and clearly well-trained bartenders. The bartender mixed up a lovely blackberry concoction for the pregnant member of our party. She loved it and the drink size was generous. Our cocktails arrived just as the hostess came to tell us our table was ready. When she realized that we'd just gotten drinks, she told us to enjoy our drinks and just come and get her when we were ready to be seated. Given this place is brand new and reservations are stacked up, I was very impressed that they offered us this courtesy.
We were seated fifteen minutes later in the larger dining room at the south end of the restaurant. Though beautiful, it is a bit noisy.
The menu is "well edited" and not diversified as I had hoped. Our party of four settled on first and second courses. There was a slight snafu with drink orders, but everything else went smoothly.
For the first course, I had the octopus salad and it was interesting. The portion size was right and the flavors were great. However, I bit into what i determined to be a peppercorn several bites in and the taste overwhelmed the dish. My husband ordered the pea soup and it was underwhelming. In fact, I hate to say this, but the dish needed salt. Overall, I'd give the first course a B.
For the main course, I ordered the sea scallops and they were cooked to perfection. A table-wide taste test confirmed that this was the best dish of the night. I highly recommend it if you like scallops and artichokes. A+ for the scallop entree.
My husband had the ribeye. It was well marbled and flavorful. Though he doesn't typically order steak, my husband thought the dish was excellently prepared.
I was a little surprised by the lack of creativity of the dessert menu. Everything was very basic. We ordered four different desserts for the table and everything tasted great. I had the cheesecake and I might say it is some of the best cheesecake I've had in Memphis, outside of the Cheesecake Corner downtown.
I won't say that this is the best restaurant in town, but I do think it is in very good company. I think this restaurant will become a staple of the East Memphis fine dining scene. We'll definitely try it out again in the future.
Not only did they pay attention to every detail, but their food was outstanding! Every one of our dishes went back to the kitchen without a crumb left on it!
It was a lovely anniversary dinner. Bartender makes an excellent dirty martini but I would love to see a nicer/fresher olive or option of blue cheese stuffed. Our favorite food items were the carrots for the table and the sea bass. Everything was delish in a beautiful, romantic setting.
What a wonderful dinner! Morgan at the bar mixed excellent cocktails. Everything I had was so delicious! Gnocchi, tuna, octopus, gnudi, quail, carrots. All SO good. I recommend going with a group of 3-4 people so that you can get a few bites of lots of different things.
The best restaurant in town. Ambience and food impeccable.
LOVE Acre! Great food, great service, great setting. Sat on the patio for the first time. Awesome! And enjoyed the GF options. Oh...and very good wine!
One of Memphis’s fine gem restaurant. Great steaks, cooked exactly how we like it, the cocktails also excellent. And their desserts are mouth watering. I would highly recommend.
Morgan was an absolute pleasure. She had amazing recommendations and drink suggestions. I had the ribeye and you better be hungry as it's huge. Correctly cooked and very tender. The duck confit casserole was amazing.
Parking is in the back and if you show up when they open, you probably won't need a reservation. Sit at the bar and Morgan will entertain you.
I will come here again.
Great atmoshphere...quaint but not stuffy. Waitress adjusted to our group well. Sourdough bread was an excellent start and the mushroom soup was fabulous. Main dishes were all delicious (halibut, duck and steak). Some of the sides that came with them were mediocre, but overall a fabulous meal (didn't distract from the main dish). Drinks were yummy too. Highly recommend the Soup Du Jour and the This is my Second Rodeo.
Acre was excellent. No complaints. Had a few small plates and the NY strip which they cooked to blue at my request which was much appreciated as it was done perfectly! Highlight was definitely the steak and the farro small plate. Will definitely be back!
We absolutely loved our meal. Every aspect is well thought out and executed!! Top notch service and the food is the highest quality!
