"The atmosphere and service was absolutely amazing! We were greeted by smiling faces and an amazing lemony scent. We went for a post-dinner treat. We got the chocolate, stout cake with whiskey caramel we had a huge slice (more than enough to share), which was plated beautifully. When we finished our dessert and asked for the check, we were informed that it had been, “taken care of” so we had our cake for free! We were seated in front of Chef where I could see that the kitchen was working quickly and efficiently, freshly preparing ingredients. I have no complaints about the cake other than the fact that the caramel and chocolate cake together was very rich. I will be coming back to have a full meal here because the Service was fantastic, and the aroma of the chefs bar was absolutely delightful!"

"We got a seat at the bar as reservations are recommended here! Tyler was exceptionally great! Very attentive and answered questions easily. He made great drinks, too! They had a wine cider that smelled heavenly and tasted just as good as it smelled. I ordered a strawberry walnut salad without strawberries and they put blueberries on instead and it was absolutely amazing! The dressing was perfect! The boudain was flavorful. The beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly!"

"I had a very positive dining experience here a few years ago and was bragging to a friend about that fact. I was a little scared to go back because I wasn't sure if I hyped it up to much to have realistic expectations but not to worry. Their health score was 100, their service was top notch, the food was as good as I remember and I can not say enough positive things about Acre. I love it and will be back!"

"When I was in school at Auburn, I would have never imagined a restaurant of this quality making the Plains it’s home. The building is charming and reflects a humble yet classiness. The servers are charming explaining the menu and taking time to chat so you are more relaxed as you await you meal. The lovingly prepared food is as good as any restaurant you will find in LA or Atlanta. So if you are making a trip to the Loveliest Village, be sure to book in advance so you do not miss out on a true Auburn experience. Food pictured is fried bacon appetizer, summer vegetables and chicken gnocchi, and steak frites."
