It kind of jumps out at you since its located at that weird part of Perkins. Just look for the yellow doors! The ambiance here is impeccable. I went here for a bridesmaid luncheon, but could definitely see this place being a GREAT venue for a rehearsal dinner. It teeters on the small side, but they have a great patio and a very open bar area with saucy lounging all around. As for the food. We got to try quite a few appetizers. Some of them were good, some not so much, but they all looked pretty if that counts for anything. The one I found most interesting was the steak with a peanut butter sauce. Definitely wasn't expecting that, but I'm a sucker for peanut butter. Their main courses are pretty big, or maybe they seemed big because we all had to fit in some saucy dresses and got a little full on those appetizers. My friend and I split the roasted chicken sandwich. It was very good. Everyones food looked great for that matter. I only asked to try a few, but most everything I tired, I liked. We each also got dessert. Y'all. I had to contain myself when it came to their spicy chocolate parfait. I wasn't too keen on the caramelized chex mix, but it still didn't keep me away from that chocolate and cookie dough :) I can't wait to go back when I can really splurge. read more

I was highly impressed with the quality of food, drinks and service! The restaurant has a "romantic cottage" feel that was perfect for date night. read more

Came here for lunch for a holiday party at work and I was surprised to see how few people were there. Based off mostly good reviews on here I assumed they would be very busy this time of year. The location is great but the signage is terrible so it's possible that it is just hard to find and know that it is a restaurant. Atmosphere and decor is hands down one of the best in Memphis, in my opinion. I feel like I'm hanging out in a lodge in the middle of nowhere. It's the details of the artwork, lighting, seating, etc. that really pull this together. If you are into the whole ambiance thing, then you must go here at least once. I ordered the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup served with a spicy cream sauce and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The soup was okay. But as soon as I mixed in the cream sauce, it went from just okay to great! The key is the mixing of the sauce. Duh! And I had such high hopes for my grilled cheese considering it has caramelized onions in it. However, it never made it past the okay mark mainly because the Cantal cheese that is used is just way to blah for me. I guess I'm a good ole southern girl that likes a grilled cheese made with either American or Cheddar cheese versus a fancy French cheese. Overall good experience for lunch and I will definitely be back for dinner in the near future. Or maybe just for drinks on the patio in the Spring! read more

This place is a must visit. My husband has been wanting to visit for some time so for his milestone birthday, I obliged his want. If your paying attention while driving as you should you'll miss this place; however, if your looking that direction you can't miss the right yellow door. The ambience is so casual, chic. Definitely a dinner place with the opposite sex. They do have a bar area that might be okay for a girls night but iffy. At any rate, Great food and service. A bit on the pricey side but that's okay for a nice, quiet dinner. Would definitely revisit to try the Grilled Duck. For First Course: we shared the Clams and Pork Belly: Absolutely Amazing!!! Be careful there a few jalapeños hidden and will give you a real hot. The potatoes with grilled bread that soaks up the juices is to die for. I could have as an entree and be okay. I had the Gnocchi and my husband had the halibut. read more

Our first time here, as it came highly recommended. Appetizers were incredible! I would say the ribeye is one of the top 3 steaks Memphis has to offer!! Actually, everything we tried was amazing. The service was top notch. Nice atmosphere with really good cocktails and a really large wine and bourbon selection. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Reliably well crafted food and a very complete and cost appropriate wine menu; if I see a Sancerre on any menu, there's usually only 1, tonight we had three options. Rarely do I see Skate on any menu. In this case it was pan fried preparation was spot on. The food changes with the season with a few very reliable standbys rounding out a limited but balanced menu including appetizers, small plates, entrees and ala carte options. Service by the ever charming Sonia is a terrific ... she remembered me from 4 months ago. read more

Great service, amazing menu. A little difficult to find if you blink! Worth a visit read more

Once a month, some friends and I get together for what we call Fancy Food Monday. We take turns choosing a restaurant, and this time it was my turn. Acre is kind of hidden. It is not on a restaurant street and it is in a house that looks like a log cabin inside. We each ordered a different appetizer and a different main course, so that we could try as much as possible. One friend ordered the goat cheese ravioli. It wasn't a traditional ravioli, but it was great, nonetheless. My absolute favorite was tomato tartare and we decided it was surrounded by fried hummus sticks. They have cooked octopus I've had it before but normally it was a sushi dish. This was probably my 2nd favorite. I ordered the pâté. I think this was my first time having it. It was very good, but very rich. A little went a long way. I'd order it again, but I'd probably rather have less. On to the main courses... We all had differing opinions as to which was the best. We agreed that everything was good, so it's probably a matter of personal taste. One friend had the Wild Striped Bass. Personally, this was my least favorite. It tasted like really good fish, but it didn't stand out to me. Another one had the Sturgeon. This is my new favorite fish. It was so meaty. I will definitely order this in the future next time I see it on a a menu. It's like grouper, but even better. Also it was sitting on a bed of brussel sprouts and bacon. It was delish. I love red meat. I love rare meat. I love lamb. This was my absolute favorite of the evening. It was on a bed of polenta a collard greens. To die for... Another friend had the Braised Angus Beef Short rib. This may not have been my favorite, but this was probably the most tender meat I have ever eaten. It literally almost melted in your mouth. And no fancy meal can be complete without a dessert. The waiter talked us into this one. He said it was one of their signature desserts... date cake. It was good. I'm more of a chocolate person, but everyone loved it. More up my style is Milk Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cremeux. It came with whoppers on the side. I don't care for them. However this was delicious. It is more mousse like than anything. Acre did not disappoint. I also noticed that they have a bar menu. I may have to go back there for the bar menu and try the burger and the truffle potato chips. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Memphis. read more

The first thing I have to say about this place is WOW! I was fortunate to dine at ACRE for dinner in its opening week and the experience was incredible. The first thing you notice is just how beautiful the property itself is. The restaurant looks and feels more like a home than a business. The grounds are beautiful with the valet-serviced parking lot hidden neatly at the back of the property. Inside, the decor is gorgeous. The ambiance is very rustic with wood paneled walls reminiscent of a barn, huge windows offering amazing views of the meticulous landscaping, and fantastic artwork including wild horses and, of course the requisite Elvis Presley. The back bar was my first stop for some wine to start the evening. The bar staff was friendly and attentive, and, as a Californian, I was happy to see a respectable selection of decent to great California wines available. My meal consisted of a delicious mixed greens salad with the perfect amount of dressing - just enough to bring out some amazing flavors, but not so much as to overpower the course. For the main course, I went with the ribeye steak, medium rare, served with trumpet mushrooms, carrots, and potato medallions. The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. I often find that restaurants do a poor job of cooking meat medium rare, but such was not a problem here. Paired with an amazing California Cab, this was a memorable course. Dessert was a fresh berry tart, which was delivered to the table by the owner, himself. Even people who don't like dessert would have enjoyed this. If I have one criticism, it would be that the dining room wait staff were a bit underwhelming. They were certainly fine, but they could have been slightly more attentive. That said, this was opening week and the place was swarming, so I'm more than willing to cut them some slack in this area. On the whole, this was an amazing dining experience and is truly not to be missed if you're looking for a fine dining experience outside downtown Memphis. As I was leaving, the owner was at the door, and I made sure to let him know just how much I enjoyed the evening, and that his restaurant rivaled many of the fine restaurants I've had the pleasure of enjoying in California. read more

What an awesome place for dinner. The ambiance is wonderful. We set outside on the patio that has been well designed with lots of stone work and trees. Enjoy when the weather is so perfect. We had the tomato soup, Gnocchi and Cote De Boeuf for dinner. The Gnocchi even allows you to have an appetizer size which is perfect. Try the Financier for dessert, warm brown butter cake, preserved blueberries with whipped cream. The interior has a wonderful unique atmosphere. This is a must for a "local" place to eat in Memphis. Will definitely go there again. read more

Ambiance is wonderfully relaxing. Service was excellent and food a notch above. I originally expected Acre to be an over priced high end restaurant, but am pleasantly surprised. The prices are reasonable. I had the Duck Pastrami, really good, never had anything quite that taste and enjoyed. I had the grilled Angus Ribeye and it was average. My wife had the Alaskan Halibut and it was fantastic. The wine list gave anyone of any taste and price a choice. Overall the experience was great and will return. read more

Acre never disappoints. You can eat at the bar without reservations or eat in the beautiful dining area with reservations. Order a cocktail--their mixologists have concocted some great combinations. They change the cocktails depending on the season and what is fresh. Can't go wrong with a berry Cosmo. If you are at the bar, you can order from both bar & dinner menus. At bar: duck pastrami hash, truffle potato chips, & burger are excellent. On dinner menu, the tomato tartare is gorgeous and delicious with chickpea fries. And the scallops, gnocchi, and short ribs shine. Menu varies seasonally which makes for wonderful choices and reasons to return regularly. The flavors of all of their dishes are perfectly balanced. In nice weather, sit outside, the patio is relaxing and very pleasant. The staff and service is wonderful, and chef-owner Wally Joe is always around checking on his customers. This is one of the few gems in Memphis. read more

Beautiful location & interior at Acre! The crab cake appetizer was SO good, as were the cocktails we ordered before dinner. My husband and I both loved the duck breast entree, but I was less than impressed by my ribeye. The meat seemed super chewy/tough, and during my struggle to find edible pieces, the lights inside suddenly dimmed and I could barely differentiate good vs bad cuts to eat, which was my worst nightmare :) The service was great and they bring you REALLY good multigrain type bread with oil before your meal which is always a welcomed surprise. I do wish I would have enjoyed my meal a little more- even the sides (mashed potatoes and garlic broccoli) were just kind of blah. read more

We rented the entire restaurant to host the rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding in Memphis. Acre provides a comfortable setting for a dinner for 75 people with excellent service from beginning to end. The planning went on for about a year and Margo, the event coordinator, was very responsive to my wife every step of the way. The restaurant is in what seems like a residence but has a great layout for a small event such as this where we were able to seat everyone in two different adjoined rooms. When it came time for the toasts, everyone was able to assemble in the main room. There is an outdoor patio that easily holds the 75 people and where we had a band to perform during the cocktail hour. Acre arranged the menu so that each dish had a Persian influence as my wife is from Iran. We had a very fine artichoke truffle soup followed by a shirazi salad. This was followed by our main courses served family style where we had salmon with spinach biryani, duck with eggplant sauce, lamb shanks and strip steak. Each were served on platters where our guests were able to pass around and enjoy. This was followed by a dessert plate with three different desserts. I can't emphasize enough the creativity and solid performance of the chef and kitchen staff at Acre. Margo provided very dependable advice and service in putting together all of the elements. read more

Was on business in Memphis and looking for a place for a lunch with a cilent. Decided on Acre and was NOT disappointed. FIrst of all, the decor alone is breathtaking. It was a topic of conversation repeatedly throughout the meal. Such a charming, warm atmosphere. Our waiter was very helpful with recommendations and we were taken very good care of. Then there was the food. Had the duck pastrami hash and poached eggs. So delicious. My colleague had the deckle pastrami sandwich and said it was equally good. Finished the meal with sticky datie cake and butternut squash ice cream (imagine what Thanksgiving would taste like were it a flavor). What a fabulous find! read more

Acre is truly a hidden gem. Like, so hidden that I drove past it because there was an exit sign but no entrance sign lol. Regardless, this place is worth the find. The space is absolutely gorgeous - rustic, with a touch of elegant charm and absolutely perfect for a small wedding, which is why I visited. Staff was friendly and very informative. The food was also amazing. My options were limited as a veggie but everyone raved about the food and agreed the truffle mac and cheese alone was worth a second visit. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu and hopefully grab a seat on the adorable patio. read more

This restaurant is a great addition to some wonderful new additions in Memphis. Chef Andrew Adams created an incredibly diverse lunch menu with lots of different flavors, something to please everyone (including vegetarians). Our group had the shrimp potstickers to start and we ate them up. I had the quinoa tabouleh and a salad with goat cheese and beets and they were both delicious and well-presented. Others in the group enjoyed the hanger steak, mushroom agnolotti and a salad with cashews, brocolli and mandarin oranges. Our clean plates were evidence of our satisfaction. Perfect lunch portions. We saved room for a dark choloate mousse that had some kind of blackberry reduction. We cleaned that plate, too. The space is also just cool: decor, seating, decorations. And they have a private room with giant wall-mounted plasma tv. Would be a great private place to watch the NBA finals with friends. Our service was good and they just got their liquor license today so in addition to beer, wine and hard liquor will soon be available. I'd recommend this to those in Memphis as well as anyone visitng from a big city looking to have something more sophisticated than Memphis BBQ without a NYC-sized bill. read more

From the moment you pull in to the impeccably landscaped drive and hand your keys over to the friendly valet, be prepared for an intriguing and impeccable experience. ACRE is located in a residential-turned-commercial block of mid-century houses that have been converted into businesses. The decor alone is so welcoming, including many wooden accents (walls, light fixtures, etc.), lending itself to a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Arrive early for a drink at the bar prior to seating, and sample one of the half-dozen or so seasonal cocktails, or any number of the wines by the glass. The appetizer selection is diverse, from soups to salads to shellfish to pork to rabbit - we had the crab cake and oysters this night, and they couldn't have been more complementary. The oysters were light and refreshing, without the typically associated ocean flavor. The crab cake was savory and chock full of crab meat. I also had the tomato tartar as a salad - the little chickpea "logs" that housed the pile of diced tomatoes and goat cheese are a delight on their own! Having difficulty deciding on my dinner entree, I allowed the server to choose for me. He arrived at the table with a striped bass entree, which looked small at first but I was more than full when I was finished. My dining companions both had the sea scallops and neither offered to share a bite! Service was spot on at all points- valet to hostess to bartender to server - Owner Wally Joe even delivered one of our courses to the table, and checked on us during and after our meal. We skipped dessert this round, but I will definitely be back once these New Year's resolutions stop ringing in my ears. In the meantime, I can't wait to return to ACRE for Happy Hour and a light dinner in the bar area, where they have a separate, scaled down menu but the same warm atmosphere and attentive service. read more

What a great place! It was a Monday night and it was very quiet with only a few tables filled. I really like the atmosphere of the place; cozy and warm. It was a little tricky trying to find it in the dark for the first time as there are no large signs. It has a good selection of wines and other options too but the real reason to come is the food. I ordered lamb which was from CO and was very fresh and cooked to perfection. My wife had a fish and it was unbelievably good. We will definitely be back with friends. This place is just too good to keep secret! read more

I was seriously impressed. Coming to Memphis, you might not expect to see something like this. ACRE has rustic charm, but still with some classy stylings. Warm woods and accents of country style living had me feeling like Laura Ingalls Wilder once I stepped inside. We were met with great service at the bar. Our bartender (I forget her name, bless her) but she gave some wonderful Southern hospitality as she poured me a magnificient Gibson. We noshed off the bar menu sharing a delicious burger, Kimchee fries (WTH, can someone bring that to California to rival Carne Asada Fries?), and some steamed pork buns. Not your normal usual Memphis fare, but what a wonderful treat. When I'm back, I'll definitely be back. You can count on that. read more

Once again my most charming dinner companion and I decided to celebrate Thursday and we headed to Acre. I've passed this restaurant many times without realizing it and its neighbors all along the street are commercial businesses and not single family homes so getting there is a trick if you don't know where you are going. The food: He started with a Martini and I had a signature Cuba Libre. It was reported , while the Martini wasn't terrible it certainly wasn't memorable. I enjoyed my rum-and-coke. I like their house-blend syrups and the liberal pour. The salads were excellent. The lightest of dressings but still the rightest amount. He had the lamb. I had the sturgeon. Overall the main courses were nice. I'm not sure I'll try sturgeon again. He had some toffee yummy and I had a banana tartlet. Not much to comment there. The service: The service was smooth. Our person was calm and knowledgeable. I will make a comment that the dining room looked like a spread for Pottery Barn. The white and beige with rustic touches left me flat. read more

Tough to find!!!! Great atmosphere. Didn't make it past the bar menu and apps. So many looked great. Entrees looked tasty as well, but I was in the mood for a little variety. I got the Sourghum noodles and the duck confit spring rolls. The flavor was a little on the bland side, which is OK for me. I asked if they had some soy or preferably tamari.....score, they had Tamari. It definitely helped the spring rolls. So many other things to order. I'll be back read more

I Visited here for a black-tie wedding. The staff was extremely nice and worked to make the wedding flawless. The venue is beautiful with their outdoor patio and modern, minimal decor being the perfect backdrop for wedding, photos, and reception. Chefs made a special menu for the event that highlighted Memphis style whole hog versus North Carolina whole hog. The guest loved it. The truffled Mac and cheese was a big hit. I will be back to this romantic venue for a meal! read more

I recently took part in a group of 25 people and we all went in and decided on the whole pig for a surprise party. This was a very unique experience and something that I would try again with a few adjustments. First of all, we all got there at 6:15 with the surprise birthday guest coming at 6:30. When we got there, we were not asked about any drinks and there wasn't any food out at all. Once the surprise came at 6:30 it wasn't until someone asked around 6:45 if we could order drinks. We got our drinks close to 7:00 and the first part of the meal (salad) came around 7:30. We were there for over an hour and did not have anything to eat. My suggestion would be to work out with the restaurant to have apps come shortly after arrival. The next thing to come out were the sides around 8:00. The sides were very good and consisted of: -roasted carrots and snap peas -creamy mac and cheese -bokchoy -buttery biscuits Finally the carving of the pig came around 8:15 and just about everything I was served tasted good. The pork belly by far was the best. We finished with dessert that was really good. We had caramelized bananas with a corn ice cream that was out standing. The waiters then cleared everything out around 9:15-9:20 and that was the last we saw of them. We didn't end up leaving until around 10:15 but not once did I see someone come by and offer more water, coffee, or anything else to drink. So my two suggestions would be to have some sort of app shortly after you get there and make sure that after the pig is carved, if you want another drink make sure and let the waiters know quickly because it was very evident as soon as they were through with our party and cleaned up they could go home. Food 3.5 stars Service 2 stars read more

To get right to the point the atmosphere at Acre was great and the food was unique and creative however not worth the price in my opinion. The food was good but not great. It a good place to try once however not a place you would keep coming back to. Here is a breakdown of what we had and what we thought about it: Starters Lobster Lasagna - The was out favorite started dish. Very good! Misty Point Oysters - Not bad. Warm Mozzarella Salad - Not bad Butternut Squash Soup - Very good! A couple of people in the part felt it was a little rich to each a whole bowl of it however I could : ) Main Dish Sea Scallop - Very good. Pan Roasted Ribeye - This was our favorite dish. The only criticism is that it was a small dish and I have had better. It's hard to compete with a great chop house. Truffle Studded Chicken - This was our least favorite dish mainly because it was a little dry. 72 Hour Braised Short ribs - This was our second favorite. The mashed potatoes were excellent. Again the dish was very small for the price. read more

This is one of the top five dining experiences I have enjoyed in Tennessee. I had the pork brisket. I was surprised it wasn't sliced - it was whole. What a wonderful experience! Very few meats "melt in your mouth." This did. With this entree comes a sprouted rue dish. It has an earthy taste with a rough texture. I enjoyed it immensely. My wife had the lamb, which was also excellent. I can't believe I had never tried Acre out before. We will be going back for sure. read more

Welcoming and clean ambiance, kind and knowledgeable staff, and delicious and creative dishes. The chickpea fritters to start with a harissa dipping sauce, carrot soup and yellowtail sashimi was amazingly delicious and light. I highly recommend trying Acre! read more

ACRE - Sashimi with pesto- amazing - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I've been meaning to write this review for months. This was definitely one of the standout restaurants that I visited during my trip to Memphis. What a beautiful restaurant. The building and decor were great - it felt rustic yet posh at the same time. The menu offerings were great. We ordered the lentil soup, crab cake, rib eye and striped bass. I don't recall what my mothe rordered but all of it was delicious. We also ordered the sticky toffee date cake and the pumpkin pistachio bars. The toffee cake was AMAZING but I could've passed on the pumpkin pistachio bars. The bars were somewhat tasteless, but the toffee cake more than made up for it. The restaurant had a good crowd and a nice ambience.I would definitely recommend this place to out-of-towners (like myself) for a nice meal while in Memphis and for a special occasion if you're local. The service was great and the owner was very nice. Only in Memphis do owners of restaurants actually hang out in the restaurant and greet guests. I'm bummed I don't live in Memphis to eat here more often. I'll definitely be back on my next trip. read more

After trying to make a late reservation at most of the finer Memphis restaurants the Friday before Valentines, we felt fortunate to get a table at ACRE, as all of our other options were booked. I have heard several good reports from others on ACRE, and the Yelp reviews were positive. Most of the reviews start with positive comments regarding the interior design, as if that is the strongest feature of the restaurant. I tend to agree that this was the most positive part of the experience, but we were there expecting near perfection in fine dining, based on their prices and reviews. We were disappointed in most of our meal. The Kamatchi was probably the highlight, and I would order it again as an appetizer. My wife ordered the lobster salad, which did not match the price and was nothing special from a flavor perspective. For the entrees we had the Loup de Mer (basically sea bass or branzino) and the lamb shoulder. Although ACRE attempts to pass themselves off as special and fine dining, neither of these dishes reached this level. Both were not especially flavorful, and we would not order either again. A disappointing experience for us, as we love most of our fine dining opportunities in Memphis and wish we could add this to the list. We probably will not return considering the quality of our meal relative to this price point. read more

The place is beautifully landscaped and decorated with natural wood, treated mirrors and various kinds of interesting light ornaments and fixtures. The green salad was good, with just the right amount of dressing and additions. The truffle studded chicken was delicious, mellow, filling and went perfectly with the white wine we ordered (of which I unfortunately forgot the name). The only con was the patios mosquitoes. They have an underground repellant system but it didn't work at all. The staff was quick to help with bug spray but we had already been bitten to death. After dinner, I had some peanut butter ice cream, sticky date cake and coffee. All very tasty and rich. The staff were very accommodating, prompt, kind and knowledgeable. Five stars I'm sure, if you bring your own bug repellant or sit inside. read more

We dined here last night after reading reviews of this and several other choices in the area. The building outside and inside is very elegant. As with other reviewers, it is somewhat difficult to find from the road. Our reservation was at 8:00, and our table wasn't ready until about 15 after. We had a drink at the bar. Once at our table, it hadn't been cleaned well and was slightly sticky. Our server wasn't the friendliest but overall he did his job. We started with the crab cake which was delicious. My wife ordered the ribeye medium rare. It was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. I had the monkfish. The monkfish was cooked well and tasted good but was somewhat bland. We did not order dessert. Overall this was a good dinner, atmosphere was good. Valet parking is free which is a plus. I would say it's worth another try. read more

Unfortunately, just a really bad experience. New experience for me as all the other times were wonderful. Told server immediately I was a vegetarian and asked to modify something. Was told that they can not modify. Okay, that was never my experience before, but new rule, okay, fine. Then asked about pumpkin soup. Said it was great so I ordered that. Ordered a grain dish and veggie. Soup came...tasted like bacon. Asked, turns out soup has pork in it. Asked to be made without pork. No problem. Comes back 5 minutes later. It's made with chicken stock. No soup for me. 20 minutes go by...I get to thinking, I wonder if the grain dish I ordered is vegetarian. Google the menu...nope. 5 minutes later server is serving the dish and I ask if it's vegetarian. She states she was just thinking about that and no it's not. And then attempts to leave it on the table. I went and spoke with, I believe, the owner who told me they do modify dishes and apologized, but this was just a straight up hot mess. Usually if I go out of my way to tell a server I'm a vegetarian and avoid meat and fish, they look out for me and don't try to serve me dishes with meat twice, especially at upscale restaurants. It was just a crappy, weird experience. Especially since no one ever attempted to fix it or make it right or offer to make me something different. She did ask me if I wanted to order a salad after the soup disaster (that I'm sure I would have paid for and the same salad I had already told her I wasn't interested in when I originally placed my order). I've had bad experiences at restaurants in my life, but it's the way they are handled that always makes it or breaks it for me. Mistakes happen, I get it. It's how you handle the mistake that matters and saves a customer, in this case, from a crappy, ruined night...especially now when a lot of people are not going out as frequently. We paid and left...with a sour taste in my mouth. The bartender was super nice and cheerful though! read more

Very beautiful place. Would definitely be back for another date night. We ordered kimchi fries. It was okay. It includes quite a good amount of beef and cheese but it made our fries soggier than I would like. Our fries were definitely not crunchy. I would not order this again when I go back. For main, I ordered the duck because I was craving a really good, crispy duck. ACRE really delivers. My duck was crispy and perfectly pink in the middle. I ordered medium and it was just right. The collard green, navy beans and cornbread was good but not astounding and it doesn't really go with the duck. I finished it nevertheless. For dessert, I ordered the sticky toffee date cake. Came out really hot goes really well with the ice cream. It was a little too sweet for me and it didn't really taste special. I prefer the sticky toffee pudding from the kitchen on shelby farms instead. Will try a different dessert next time. I also tried the acre royale and loved it! I am a new wine drinker and have been sticking to sweet wines like moscato. If you love super sweet wine, you'd love the acre royale. Overall I think ACRE is perfect for a fancy night out in memphis. It is very pricy and would probably warrants a little saving up before indulging. I rate 3 dollar sign instead of 2. read more
