"Acru is from an Australian chef who used to work at Atomix, and the menu reads like he’s just returned from an international tour with a sackful of ingredients and kitchen toys from around the world. But everything comes together nicely, like in a bread that marries Aussie bush bread with Boston brown. At some point during the six courses, you’ll get some exquisite grilled fish, and the multiple desserts are a highlight, especially the brûléed, hay-infused ice cream." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
