Roasted Beet and Carrots
Douglas G.

The concept of order at the counter and get a flag number and find a very scenic location on the property is worth a visit. The food is delightful and beautifully arranged. The roasted beet and carrots was spot on. The dish had many flavours that satisfied the imagination. The staff was very effective to find the flag numbers and deliver the your order in a timely manner.

Came here for a team lunch. Beautiful space both inside and outside. Points for that, as well as the friendly staff. You have to order and pay at the counter, then you get a number to bring to your table. 5 of us had salads (2 people had the beet and carrot salad with chicken, 1 had a cobb salad with chicken and I got the kale Caesar with steak. I also had an iced green tea, 2 people had the matcha latte that was a special. 1 person had the burger with fries. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal, unfortunately my steak had unchewable pieces so a lot of it went to waste. The salad itself was ok. But for $24? Not recommended. I probably wouldn't come back unless it was for another work sponsored meal.

Group lunches are finicky little things and we had quite the adventure before landing here. The vibe is calm, cool, & casual, which doesnt seem to match up with its surrounding corporate vibe. But you know, it's almost like having an oasis among the work grind chaos. THE FOOD. - Wild Mushroom Pizza | The mushroom varieties are obviously a plus here. Bechamel sauce goes well with the Parmesan and fontina cheeses. Highly recommend. THE DRINK. - Organic Lemonade (Traditional) | Not overly sweet. Just enough tangy flavor. THE PARKING. Free parking available if you can find it. THE RESERVATION. We called ahead to make sure they can accommodate a group of ten for lunch, but it doesn't seem reservations were necessary. COMING BACK? Yep, this place calls for another visit to try other dishes!

The coffee is excellent. All the baristas are friendly, and highly skilled! Their revolving baked goods section is also good. Bring back the fig ricotta danish!

Kale Caesar (Steak).  Fantastic steak!  It's a very quality cut of meat, absolutely delicious.  Definitely recommend.

Love the outdoor experience of Green Acre. Nice little tucked away area to eat at lunch. A little pricey, but everything Ive had here is great. Friendly staff.

Each food/drink item I've ever ordered was never a disappointment. It was always prepared nicely and at the perfect temperature. Each staff member I've come across was always friendly and helpful. The backdrop of this restaurant is just so beautiful. If you happen to know who their interior designer is, please let me know. Working nearby was a bonus and sadly I'll no longer have tenant discounts, but that won't stop me from visiting.

Came here for a work lunch and I don't think I would buy from this place generally since the food is so pricey BUT since I got it comped, food here is pretty solid! Got the burger and fries and both were really tasty. I also got the berry smoothie with a protein boost and that thing was huge ! Everything seemed freshly made. You order at the front and then sit down. Workers are friendly. The place is inside an office building but it's nicely decorated!

This place has food and coffee. They serve breakfast and lunch. I usually get coffee and pastries here in the morning. The pastries are really good and unique, they are seasonal and rotated often. The coffee is good too, there are some baristas that put in the extra mile. There's this one barista guy with black hair that always makes excellent 10/10 cortados and lattes. I always pray that he's the one making my drink haha. The others are good too, but he's in another league. Love this place, come here often

Some days you want lunch, other days you want happy hour but during lunch time... Enter Green Acre, whose convenient office park location and accommodating staff will slake your desire/need to day drink between client meetings. ;) While the official menu is a bit limited, food is at minimum decent (I recommend their small plates + big snacks over their sandwiches + wraps), and, more importantly, the bar is ready, willing, and able to get creative. The space, both outdoors and indoors, is huge and well-appointed, but my favorite place to perch is the back bar next to the game room. Grab a partner in crime and have fun playing hooky for an hour or two!

The first day in my new office this past June and saw that there was an (expensive) cafeteria/restaurant (since my company does not sponsor the food) that looking so neat and modern made me very happy. I loved the design, from the menu, to the mini vases with cute flowers from the farm (there is a farm in campus that belongs to them and they source some of the ingredients they use in their dishes from there) to the playful atmosphere. I have been frequenting this restaurant for 6 months now and is all good (except the price tag). I adore their burgers, that is my favorite to-go dish, although I have not disliked anything I have tried. This summer I got a superb gazpacho (source from the farm), very original taste and different from the Spanish one I am used to. There are happy hours and many corporate and meetup groups parties in there too. The coolest thing is how secluded and unknown this restaurant is, mostly because belongs to the Alexandria conglomerate of buildings and businesses and is located inside a corporate park not too much on the public light.

It's so modular and easy to order from the table through our phone app,, it honestly felt as high-tech as Tony Stark commanding F.R.I.D.A.Y. from his suit tbh. Although this was not our first time eating here, they must have changed the business model, as the last time we went was almost a decade ago. Their menu has changed significantly, and although they were excellent before, I think they are even better. We tried pretty much all of the proteins, from the steak, chicken, pork rib, ribs, and they were all excellent very fresh ingredients. The meats were so perfectly cooked and tender they basically fell apart easier than Thanos's army at the end of Endgame lol. We especially love the side dishes. The broccolini was excellent with the sesame sauce. We loved the brussels sprouts as well. And I really loved the beef and mushroom soup. It had such a comforting and rich flavor that it felt like Scarlet Witch used some chaos magic in the kitchen to get it exactly right. French fries were pretty good, and pretty standard. That was the only dish that was average, but everything else was excellent. Good service and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We even brought our pups! The patio was so spacious and chill it basically felt like relaxing at the Avengers compound after a mission. Parking is super easy. It was such a breeze we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink our car to fit into a spot. Five out of five stars

For one, our server accidentally put in an appetizer that we didn't order, and instead of taking it away, they gave it to us as a complimentary treat. They also explained everything well, packed things up for us as we went so that we had room for new dishes, and gave a full sized cheesecake slice as the complimentary birthday dessert. Overall, I will absolutely consider coming back to Catania for any special occasion, or just a delicious meal!

Quite casual, but very nice nevertheless. This restaurant also turned out to specialize in Hawaiian food...something I haven't had since our 2nd honeymoon to Maui decades ago!! We started with Crispy Coconut Shrimp, which was delish! Then shared this huge Rib & Chicken plate and this Vegan Ravioli dish. We were stuffed by the end of it. But then, given that they knew that this was our anniversary trip, the restaurant treated us to this amazing dessert (huge serving of ice cream with fudge etc.etc.)...and WOW! We really appreciated this generosity!! Also enjoyed their Margarita (Boomers, I think?). Service was good, but a tad slow...given how bustling the crowd was. Overall, we had a great time here (minus all the touristy picture-taking in front of us lol!).

I chose it for our guest. I knew I'd find something on the menu as a vegan option. I had read they were accommodating so I didn't worry and knew it would be great. I saw a few items labeled vegetarian and I asked what recommendations the server had for vegan options. She told me what was easy to be vegan on the menu and she offered to check with the chef. She came back and gave me more options, which was nice. The dinner menu is different from the lunch menu. I think the lunch menu had a falafel burger and a quinoa vegetable dish. So, for dinner I decided to have a southwestern kale salad without cheese and sub the dressing. I also got a side of roasted veggies. It was a nice variety of veggies and everything was fresh and tasty. I shared the roasted veggies with my husband because it was enough to share. I was very satisfied with the salad. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone ate their dinner and enjoyed the sunset. Great place for a guest.

One of the best pork chops I've ever had…read more I ate at the bar and had the Kurobuta bone-in pork chop, and it was outstanding. The pork is marinated and then sous vide, and whatever they're doing works -- incredibly tender and juicy all the way through, with great flavor and none of the dryness you can sometimes get with a thick pork chop. The pepperonata and charred onion paired perfectly with it, and the chorizo cornbread was a great addition. Everything on the plate complemented the pork without overpowering it. I also have to mention behind the bar. The service was incredible -- attentive, friendly, and added to an already great meal. I eat and grill a fair amount of meat myself, and this honestly may have been the best pork chop I've ever had. Between the food and Cory's service, I'd absolutely come back and order it again.

Not only did it take 20 min to get our order taken and about 30-40 additional minutes to get our food, but we were there SO long that we were able to see the outside the entire time, and the tables were empty that entire time. We could have eaten TWICE at those tables outside. Food was...fine. Staff seemed to enjoy their job mostly. But the hostess.. ehhh... that was sorta sus. Waited forever, and wished we were outside. Also, on the kids word search, "OWL" Is not on there despite it being a word required to search. You need to change that. Totally gaslit.

We were also looking forward to the live music, but the singer was placed far away from the guests, seemingly performing for a separate area rather than the restaurant as a whole. As shown in the attached photo, he was left alone while performing. It did not feel respectful of his talent, and it did not match the live-music atmosphere we expected. The food was okay, but overall we would rate it 3/10. The highlight of the visit was the service: Sunny and the other servers were truly amazing and deserve 5/5. Their kindness and effort prevented our overall rating from being even lower. We hope the restaurant can return to the warm, welcoming, fun atmosphere it used to have. It has so much potential, and we would love to see it get back to its original good vibes
