    Incredible experience, where you allow the staff to choose the plates for you. The steamed mussels with sweet potato and the lamb toast were our favourites. I’ll definitely be back!

    Loved The Ace overall - great food! highly recommend the seasonal squash they have and they were able to add fries to it as a side for a complete meal for my vegetarian self. While they lean "carnivore" for mains, their apps are sizeable, and absolutely delicious and filling. I like to eat well, and the (clarified?) butter(?)-fried sage atop the squash was just *chef's kiss*. The Ace has excellent money for value as well - All their food is great; you can't go wrong. Great alcohol options too - the bar does not skimp on the gin! One *teensy* suggestion: if it's important to you, request seating by the window for the best ambience - similarly, if it matters to you, there are two booths at the back that are kind of next to the bathrooms (which is really not my preference), so just make sure to request a spot away from the bathrooms or come early. The servers were super helpful and moved us to a sizeable bar and I had a great time. (Others were presumably able to take the booth as they didn't mind the bathrooms so it worked out well for everyone!) oh and - their cheesecake at the end was to die for. I was in fluffy cheesecake heaven!
