Sat at the bar with my girl and had an excellent date night.
We had the Warm Olives and the Charred Cauliflower then their burger and grilled cheese, which were all excellent. Our bartender, Jacob, was super friendly and informative along with being creative with a carte blanche cocktail. We'll definitely be going back.response / report this review -

This review is meant for the bar dining area. My GF and I had a poor experience unfortunately. The way it was explained to us was that if you order anything that's not on the bar menu its a 17.00 charge (titos and soda). In addition, my beer was incorrect and when brought to the servers attention his reply was "must have pressed the wrong button. However, the difference between the buttons were my 10.00 beer and a 25.00 beer. On top of the that our food took unexpectedly long. The server had to return to our table twice to inform us that the food is taking longer than normal. Food Quality is superb however the over experience was very poor. We wanted to test the waters before dining in officially but will have much hesitation for future dining. Cheers,

This is a review for the bar menu. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Friday and had no trouble getting a seat. The two standout dishes of the evening were the Connecticut-style Lobster Roll and the PB+J-inspired dessert. We tried the bar tasting menu, which included canapes, egg yolk ravioli with truffles, roast quail with savory bread pudding, and the PB+J-inspired dessert. We also ordered the cauliflower dish and the famous Acadia hamburger.
I would come back in a heartbeat for the buttery and delicious lobster roll, and we also left with the impression that the pastry chef is very talented. Outside of those dishes, however, we were disappointed by the execution and felt a little surprised that Acadia has two Michelin stars. Many of the hot dishes arrived cold and tasted like they weren't seasoned carefully.
The service overall was excellent. Our waiter did forget to light our candle after we asked him about it, but of course that was a minor detail. I think the Michelin stars carry so much mystique that we noticed those little details more than we usually would.response / report this review -

Excellent service and great food!
Honestly this restaurant met my expectations but did not exceed them. It is what you would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant but does not go beyond to really revolutionize the art of food. Overall, if you want to eat great (Michelin starred) food then it is a good place to get started (given the strong/bold flavors are very subtle), but that is it. There are other amazing places where the food can really 'blow' your mind.response / report this review -

Great service, presentations and delicate food but not the best taste. We did 9 course plus 3 supplement courses. We spent close to 400 per person and with this kind of money I expect the best from every aspect. During this trip I visited 3 Michelin starred restaurant and Acadia was not the best one. I wish they can work on the flavor so it can match up with their presentation. Good experience in overall but won't go back for a while.

One of the best restaurants in Chicago (Michelin starred). Terrific chef and great service. Very inventive tasting menu. The bar serves light food that comes from an amazing kitchen - worth trying. A must try in Chicago as it is a foodie destination

The dining room is very comfortable and relaxing with beautiful living art work decorating the walls. The staff are simply outstanding in every category. They were warm and friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and very professional. The restaurant manager/sommelier Jason Prah is a terrific gentleman whom I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with. His wine pairings were so engaging and meaningful. The food was sublime although I felt a few items were slightly underseasoned. The presentation was beautiful, uncomplicated and very memorable. I would like to say thank you again for a wonderful experience at Acadia.

Delicious food, friendly service, and wonderful ambience. I just took my wife here the other night for an early Valentine's Day date. We sat at he bar this time. The two bartenders were both entertaining and professional. The cocktail menu is wonderful, and the tasting menu varied. We got the burger, which was AMAZING. Seriously, top 5 I've ever eaten. We also got the Lobster roll, which was delicious, but pretty small. Understandable I suppose, I just wish there was more of it. Still, this is an amazing restaurant, and we love going here. Totally worth the money!

We live in the neighborhood and have been here several times. We've done about every variation of dinning possible here: They use to offer an a la carte dining in the restaurant and the tasting menu and eating an app and drinks at the bar and tonight, last minute, we came in for a bite in the bar area. I wished we had sat at the bar as we did in the past. Their bar tenders are so fun to watch, true mixologists. Our server tonight was not Acadia quality, but nice. And everything else was wonderful as expected. I had heard so much about the lobster roll, I tried it today. It came out and I was totally underwhelmed. It looked small and basic! When I ate itit was delicious! We also got the mac and chess to split, a prefect accompaniment to the lobster roll. The souffle was great!
Of course I would love to do the 10 course meal every time I go but we would not be able to afford our home if we did that. So once in a blue moon for that. I wish they had more vegetarian options and alternatives to their tasting menus.response / report this review -

Never fails. They always have a great selection of ice cream and served in a wonderful setting. We love this place, and so does most of the island
