    Piedmontese Gnocchi
    Donae R.

    I had a wonderful experience at Acre. I've driven past it so many times without realizing what a gem it is. Once inside, I was immediately impressed by the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The food was outstanding, and the gnocchi was an absolute standout for me. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. If you're looking for a spot to treat yourself to a special night out, this is definitely the place to go.

    My experience at Acre was great. This is one of the coziest restaurants I've been to in Memphis. The food and drinks were excellent, and so was the service. I loved the foie gras torchon and would recommend it to anyone. The short rib gnocchi was rich and pillowy and a huge portion for the price. The rotolo with morels was one of the tastiest, and prettiest, pasta dishes I've tried. I look forward to my next visit here.

    Came here for a wedding rehearsal dinner and loved the ambiance, service, and food! The cornbread panzanella salad was unique and delightful. The cornbread made it more interesting and more Southern, which I really enjoyed. I had the wild king salmon with grits as my main, and it was so tender. The grits were rich and creamy. For dessert, we had an assortment of mini ones - I tried the panna cotta, which was good, the chocolate mousse, which was excellent, and a macaron, which was also excellent.

    Came here for a birthday dinner last week. Food was all right. Nothing we ordered for appetizers or entrees were anything we'd order again. This includes the broccolini, the smoked farro, the NY steak and the Rib Eye. Both steaks were not accurately cooked to temp and had a lack of seasoning. The desserts were our favorite part of the meal, especially the sticky date cake and the hazelnut chocolate tart. Those desserts redeemed the whole experience! Bottle of wine (Pinot Noir) was really nice and paired well with our food. Our server was good/fair. Ambiance was excellent. The atmosphere itself and the patio are exquisite.

    We went to ACRE for a rehearsal dinner and it was fantastic. The restaurant itself is beautiful - it looks and feels like an old home that was converted into a restaurant. Very intimate and perfect for our group size. The salad to start was amazing, I wish I could recreate the dressing. I had the salmon with black rice and it was perfect. Service was great, my only suggestion would be that the servers wait to deliver drinks/food until after the toast/speech is finished. I understand that is tough but the speeches were very short! Otherwise, I loved ACRE and would return next time I'm in town.

    If I could leave a negative star I would. I had dinner there tonight 2/12/22 and had a horrible experience. I know since Covid it's hard to find good employees that actually care about costumer service but wen you are spending over $160 for 2 people plus tip I was expecting a little more than an attitude and perhaps a refill. My girlfriend got the NY strip and I got the Pork Both of them were crispy on the outside and completely raw on the inside. She sent hers back 2 times and finally got a burn dried steak but I completely lost my appetite after tasting uncooked pork.

    Food was phenomenal! Chef came out and it was obvious that he took pride in his creations. Morgan the Bartender was an absolute disgrace "B" for this establishment. My whole group felt like we were bothering her. We had to ask 3-4 times to get refills of drinks. If you sit at a table this will likely be 5 star restaurant.

    Wonderful experience, not your ordinary menu... which is a huge PLUS!! Our waitress was attentive and we received plenty of food. Whoever the bartender was, made our taste buds very happy:)))

    We dined here with friends and the food ,service , and ambiance were wonderful! The server Sonja was extremely knowledgeable of the menu offerings and suggested her favorites as well . We were a party of four and ordered the filet , the halibut , cauliflower, au gratin , broccolini, potatoes, mushroom risotto , salad and banana tarts for dessert. Libations included red wine , specialty tequila cocktails and rose . The steak was amazing with flavorful gravy and the halibut was fresh and tasty ! The restaurant is a beautiful space with a small bar , great dining area and patio offerings. The only reason I didn't give them five stars, is the menu is a bit limited for entree selections and the reservation process is not automated (you have to call in - no online bookings ) and they call yuh back to confirm , which can be a bit inconvenient.

    Mushroom pie, not what you would expect! Incredible

    We haven't frequented any restaurants of late due to the Covid-19 pandemic but this was a special occasion. It's not everyday your husband turns 40! I am so glad Acre was the destination we chose, after stepping out of protective bubble. They took all the necessary precautions and kept the restaurant at 25% capacity. Now to the food. Everything we ordered was amazing, but I was an especially huge fan of the gnocci. I really don't come here enough but suspect we will become regular patrons.

    3.5 stars according to my standards but for Memphis 5 stars because there is nothing better in this god forsaken city. The menu is great we got a total of 9 small plates. I want to say 5 dishes were good, 2 great, 2 we sent back. It's a beautiful ambiance, very romantic. Food is good and we will be back for the other main items. To me, this is the best restaurant in Memphis if you are coming from large metropolitan type cities like NYC, LA, etc. otherwise this would be a 6.5/10 type restaurant in those kinds of big cities. For Memphis? 9.5/10. Service was not the greatest. Our server was just short and rude typical of Memphis service. Whatever I am used it at this point lol. But yes like others have said the service is whatever for what you pay for but it's not "horrible" like others like to exaggerate. I say try this place. $25 corkage fee and delicious cocktails.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

This time around, I stopped by the Downtown Memphis location, which is tucked away in a residential area not too far from Beale Street. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip. Now, let's talk about the experience. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged. A few employees made eye contact, but nobody said a word. I eventually learned from another customer that it was a seat-yourself establishment. Interesting! LOL. However, the moment I sat down, someone came right over to take my order. I guess everybody strictly stays in their lane around here! I ordered the three-piece white meat meal with coleslaw, baked beans, and a small side of mac and cheese. BABY, that chicken was GOOD! Everything came out in a timely manner, piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. Exactly what I was looking for! Another thing I appreciated was the cleanliness. Both the dining area and restroom were clean and well-maintained. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and amount of food you receive. My only real criticism is the initial customer service experience. A simple greeting or acknowledgment when someone walks through the door goes a long way. Other than that, I enjoyed my visit. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! The food speaks for itself, and Gus's continues to deliver on that front.

    I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!
