Acadia

This place is just amazing, the food and service are really superior. Since the pandemic hit, I have ordered their takeout meals and they are an incredible value. Great quality food, curbside delivery, and as always friendly professional staff. Just had the do it yourself barbecue. Once again exceded expectations. Thanks!

This place is awesome on many levels.

I'm catching up on Yelp reviews as they are long overdue, but better late than never! The Acadia Burger is rated as one of the best in Chicago and that is...

I love this place. Mitchell and I have eaten in all of the best restaurants in Chicago, and this was the first, for which reason it maintains a special place in my heart for the really wonderful meals we ate, and how we were treated. They didn't have the wine I wanted, which was on their list, so they offered several TOP NOTCH choices of similar wines that were priced a lot more, for the same price. That's classy! That's why I brought them a gift bottle of wine from a top notch Rhinegau estate that was the gift of Theresa Breuer, which they were interested in considering for inclusion on their wine list.

Interesting experience to say the least. Went there during a short trip to Chicago partially based on persistent promotion of their dishes on official Michelin Instagram site. Tasting menu was overwhelming in two ways: too many dishes and too many ingredients for each dish , some of which were fine but not memorable enough to go back . I’m not sure how Michelin rates restaurants objectively but two stars in France, NYC and Chicago are not equivalent.

So....Tresa and I went to Acadia for the prefix Valentine's menu, and everything was very well done. Not a single complaint about the food, and I had a...

Every weekend my husband and I love to try tasting menus at upscale restaurants. Acadia being a 2 star Michelin rated restaurant we figured it would be delicious. Unfortunately, we couldn't have been more disappointed. My 2 stars rating is mainly for the amazing service and for how understanding the manager handled our feedback. Food: While there was GREAT flavor... every single piece of meat and fish was BEYOND over cooked and I typically order my meat well-done. However, the scallop, Wagyu beef, duck breast, and octopus were so chewy I had to turn away my octopus as I almost choked on a small piece. The lobster trail was the only thing not over cooked (but it had a thick bloody vein running through its back which leaked all over my dish). I would love to give the chef the benefit of the doubt because there were 2 moments while dining when it smelled like something was severely on fire in the kitchen. If that was our food I really wish they would have remade the dish. I had brought my concerns to 2 servers at which both responded with, "I will bring it to the Chef's attention". Neither of which returned with a response. There were a few things that I did enjoy. The hot cocoa with a marshmallow was ABSOLUTELY delicious, I'd buy some by the pallet! The macaron was perfect. The single brussel sprout left me wanting more. The tapioca with champagne bubbles was so good. Service: The servers moved and operated like something out of the movies. Almost a Men In Black and Matrix feel. It was definitely a unique experience with no complaints. They really were terrific. ***After reaching out to the new Manager and just giving my feedback she later emailed me after leaving the restaurant with another nice apology and a small credit to cover the cost of our drinks. This was very kind as I have read some previous reviews with arrogant responses from the "owner". Come to find out they were likely from the previous restaurant manager. I foresee the new Manager doing great things for Acadia.

Excellent service and great food! Honestly this restaurant met my expectations but did not exceed them. It is what you would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant but does not go beyond to really revolutionize the art of food. Overall, if you want to eat great (Michelin starred) food then it is a good place to get started (given the strong/bold flavors are very subtle), but that is it. There are other amazing places where the food can really 'blow' your mind.

Great service, presentations and delicate food but not the best taste. We did 9 course plus 3 supplement courses. We spent close to 400 per person and with this kind of money I expect the best from every aspect. During this trip I visited 3 Michelin starred restaurant and Acadia was not the best one. I wish they can work on the flavor so it can match up with their presentation. Good experience in overall but won't go back for a while.
