    Van Acre is always a 10/10 experience. The food, atmosphere, and service is some of the best we have ever experienced including many fine restaurants across the US. Each time we visit, we have a wonderful time. Every dish is excellent. We are so fortunate to have such a great dining place in our neighborhood!

    We got seated a little later than our reservation but the Tomahawk Chops and the Sea Bass over shadowed that. The food was EXCELLENT!!! We will go back…again and again!

    Food was average at best. Honestly I cook just as well at home. Prices were high relative to the overall value. Service was slow. It literally took 10 minutes before drinks were delivered to our table. They were brought to the table individually instead of being delivered all at once. Cook time was about 50% longer than it needed to be. Offer to refill drinks was non-existent. I would never go back to this restaurant.
