    Excellent service and food. I ordered the pessimist Cabernet and my husband got the VIP martini. For food I got the shrimp cocktail, my husband got the wedge salad, we both got the truffle bone in filet special with Alaskan crab, creamed spinach for the side and butter cake for dessert. Everything was really incredible. It was one of the best steaks I have had. And the butter cake is next level. We had two managers check in to see how everything was. I highly recommend.

    What a gem! The atmosphere was cozy, with comfortable seating, warm lighting and a quiet dining area, despite the vaulted ceiling. Our server was gracious, and provided great suggestions for wine, dinner and dessert. Our dinners were delicious - perfect portion sizes, and all the flavors blended well. We stopped at the terrace for a nightcap - the bartender was friendly and gave us fantastic cocktail suggestions. We will definitely be back.

    We always have a great experience at 80 acres. We went for Valentine’s Day and the special menu was great and the ambiance was so nice. Always have a wonderful waitress no matter who we get. We’re so fortunate to have this restaurant so close to our house as plum does not have many great restaurants- this is definitely the best restaurant in the area. I’d definitely recommend if you want to go somewhere nicer than “bar food” or some chain restaurant but not somewhere super fancy that requires getting extremely dressed up or is stuffy. Great in between for a nicer dinner!
