   Went to Acorn for brunch. The chorizo hash, fried chicken sandwich, chilaquiles, and vegetable frittata were all amazingly delicious! 5/6 of us ordered coffee which none of us liked. It tasted old and was bitter. The beignets weren’t horrible, but if you’ve been to New Orleans, take a pass on them here. They weren’t very fluffy and the one I had wasn’t cooked enough as there was raw batter in the middle. Otherwise it’s a really cozy place with what we all thought was a phenomenal playlist of music. Waitstaff was fantastic. Definitely going to go there to try their dinners.

   I have been here before and enjoyed it however this time the waiter was much less attentive. My husband and I both got the steaks - medium rare - which we both have gotten before. Although mine was cooked appropriately, my husbands was way too rare. We didn’t send it back before the waiter never came back - until the end of the meal when i was completely done. He Didn’t even ask how we liked it - although he could prob tell since my husbands steak was hardly eaten. I am unfortunately not sure we will be back since my husband had such a terrible meal. The calamari on the other hand was delicious.

   I like that the menu is very limited. To me it means they want to put out only quality food. The Food was well prepared. Service was friendly and helpful but I think they are short staffed as everyone is these days. Our food was verging on cold when it was served to us and the clams topping my dish had started to shrivel. It seemed like it took a while for our waiter to make his rounds back to us. But he did always come back and our water glasses did not get empty It is a lovely restaurant my complaints are minor. I will definitely return.

   Seated near front door. Cold blast of air every time the door opened. Food took a long time and was lukewarm and not helped by the fact that one entree was served 5+ minutes after the first three. Manager tried to compensate with a couple of free desserts but too little too late. Stay away in cold weather.

   The food here is always excellent, sometimes superb. The drinks are very well tended too. The big shortcoming for us was service. The server did not attend to us at all once the main portions were served. She did not return to get the order for a second round of drinks we wanted to make, and when we finished eating, our plates sat on the table for a good 20 minutes before she finally showed up. She did not offer any dessert menu. In these ways she lost the restaurant business (more drinks and dessert) and she lost our confidence. Despite our high fives for the quality of food, we will have to consider whether or not to return.

    Best calimari I’ve ever had. Great meal, somewhat pricy so not an everyday meal but for a special event it is great. And don’t forget to try the beignets.

    The tomato soup was delicious! We also liked the calamari small plate and the cauliflower small plate. The linguini and clam sauce was very flavorful and we liked the homemade pasta, but it was much thicker than traditional linguini. The carrot cake was light and very good. Overall, the food was inventive/creative without being peculiar -- we really enjoyed everything we ate, and our server was lovely. Will definitely come back.

    I've loved this restaurant but for my birthday night, things weren't up to par. There was something off in the kitchen, and for 20 minutes, our server seemed to forget we were there while our glasses were empty and our appetizers cleared. Although they were told (twice) that it was a birthday, there was no acknowledgment of it, and a server hurriedly dropped our dessert on the table. The food was great, the pork chop somewhat oversalted. Hope it's better next time.

    The food was tasty but came out luke warm. The service was slow. We ordered a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and the waiter spilled some by overfilling the flute, and didn’t clean it up so we had to ask a food runner walking by for an extra napkin. He asked what the occasion was and we told him it was our anniversary even though we had already acknowledged that through OpenDoor when reserving as well as when we checked in and were seated by the host. They took forever to clear the table after each course. Good food, but we won’t be back.
