    We love coming to Ninety acres for special occasions. Last night was a birthday dinner. Love the ambiance. I like sitting in either the bar area or on a banquette in the main dining room. Always a classy experience!

    Loved our Saturday night dining choice! The ambiance is great, although we were right next to the musician and that was a bit distracting. Will make a point to be seated away from the music next time. The food was absolutely amazing; everything was perfectly prepared and presented. Our server was outstanding - she really made for a wonderful experience. The only disappointment was the wine list. The choices are very limited and not what we expected from a restaurant of this distinction. All in all…can’t wait to return!

    The food was good. We had a party of 4. In all we had 5 meals. We wanted to have the homemade gnocchi to share as an appetizer, but they ended up not having it. We ended up sharing the lobster ravioli, which was good. For our entrees we had the seafood risotto, which was excellent, the cod special (which was good but very small piece of fish), chicken dish and the yellowfin tuna special (was just ok). Overall, we had a nice time and will go back if in the area
