Outstanding service, attention to detail and unique taste mixtures, Acadia is a splendid addition to upscale dining in Chicago. The seasonal menu offers wonderful options.
The tasting menu runs over $90, with with wine pairings another $65 but for a memorable night worth the price.
Food is similar in quality to Les Nomades and better than Naha (for about the same price). Service is friendly and excellent, atmosphere is great, and the room is conversation friendly (unlike Blackbird). Only negative is portion sizes, which have become tiny. Beautiful presentation is a plus, but in the end, the food has to keep you alive until breakfast.
Attentive service, very nice bar and dining room, creative food of the highest quality will bring Acadia to the top Zagat lists soon. The sommellier is knowledgeable and unassuming, the bartenders nice and professional, and above all the kitchen is outstanding. My pork belly appetizer was memorable, and the duck main course very good. My wife loved the lobster. All the friends at or table were very happy with the food.
