Went last night and could not be more disappointed. I also had the grouper. Relatively tasteless, the potato crust was overdone on one side so they served it on the bottom as to think I would not notice. Fish was slapped on the plate with some sauteed carrots it look like something I threw together for my kids in a few minutes. I also had the clams appetizer whic was so salty I would have sent it back but I was very hungry. Service was okay

Our favorite restaurant in the Princeton area. Since Joe Immordino has taken over in the past two years the menu and service from the staff has been excellent! We recently had the grouper which was outstanding. The taste and presentation of every dish has that extra touch from Chef Immordino.

Interesting restaurant, we've been dining out in the Lawrence / Princeton Area forever. This place has been getting a ton of hype recently. definitely lives up to the bill. I was here about 4 years ago and thought it was okay, but wednesday was the 3rd time thismonth. My husband got the colorado rack of lamb as usual and I tried a "Pumpkin" Swordfish special, the best fish ever!!! Service was prompt and the ambiance on point!!!

We agree with the most recent reviewers. Our party of four was very disappointed on a recent return dinner after some years. Starters and salads were better than average, but our main courses were 0 for 4. Fish was overcooked and smothered with carmelized onions. Duck breast was pungent and confit was undercooked with none of the usual wonderful flavor. They have a long way to go to deserve their prior ratings.

I agree with Eddie6408 and rdb1204. This restaurant was a major disappointment. The food was average at best; the halibut was mealy, risotto cold in spots and likely nuked, eggplant an unappealing mess and undercooked. Desserts were overly sweet. I remember Acacia from visits in past years and I am sorry to see how far they have fallen.
