Acre Restaurant

From start to finish, the food was absolutely amazing! We had appetizers, main courses, and dessert. The meat was cooked perfectly-juicy, flavorful and tender. Presentation of the dishes was wonderful and our server, Paige, did an excellent job. Chef Longres even took time to introduce himself and wish us a Happy Anniversary. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

Wow… just wow!! Pair the tasting menu with the wine samples. From the smokey appetizers to the juicy main courses and savory desserts — it was all curated to be fine as helllllll. I haven’t had such a well crafted tasting menu in a long while. It was also so great getting to talk to the chefs behind the counter. Server Johnathan, chef brandon, and sous chef Maddi were immaculate. They paid attention to everything!! Well worth the bill. Make reservations ahead of time!

Delicious. Not cheap but worth the cost. Would go back. Farm fresh food. Very flavorful. Nice setup. Dressier than we expected with higher per item cost but great for a special occasion or if you have a larger food budget.

The first thing you notice at Acre is its beautiful décor — warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. I started at the bar while waiting for the rest of my group, and the bartender was friendly and helpful in recommending a lovely glass of wine. The menu isn’t extensive, but every dish sounds so tempting it’s hard to choose. The service was excellent — Miranda took great care of us and had a wonderful sense of humor that made the evening even more enjoyable. The pork chop was absolutely outstanding — highly recommended! Overall, we loved both the food and the atmosphere at Acre. It’s definitely a place we’ll be returning to for future dinners.

Gotta say been here several times and it’s in my backyard. The place is not 5 stars. Called in a reservations they didn’t have it, happily sat at bar. First encounter was good but then no one cares or services. No utensils when served. No service until paying. Food was good but not sure it’s worth the premium price. Other options are way more the full experience. Fast forward, gave Acre another try and had a Wonderful experience and service. Note to self, sometimes restaurants are just a little off. I had the Scottish salmon which was moist and delicious. We shared the roasted carrots which were recommended by the server and they were wonderful with toasted pistachios on top. We also enjoyed the roasted half chicken. Ended the evening with a blueberry crème brûlée, which was divine.

Thank you Acre for yet another breathtaking experience. Tonight was our first time trying the Chefs Counter experience and it was hand down worth every penny plus more! Great atmosphere, super beautiful and humble staff and of course mind blowing food. We truly thank you and appreciate you bringing such a unique dining experience to Kansas City and will be back very soon! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We absolutely loved our Chef Counter Experience at Acre! They curated a five course meal plus dessert for us. If you enjoy wine, I recommend choosing to include the wine pairings with each dish. This was my first time at Acre and I will most definitely be returning! They exceeded my expectations for accommodating my dietary restriction (lactose intolerance) and created one of the best fine dining experiences I've ever had.

The staff went above and beyond to make the night feel special. The beef tartare is an absolute must-try—perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick out some amazing dishes we might not have chosen on our own. They offer a great selection of both alcoholic drinks and mocktails, so there’s something for everyone. We’ll definitely be back!

We'd been out of town for a bit and couldn't wait to get back to Acre -- this time to try their new Grazing Menu, a three-course surprise menu ($75, served Tuesday-Thursday). As promised, three courses built around the best of the season -- and it delivered from start to finish. Dinner began with a surprise amuse-bouche -- a hush puppy that was piping hot, crisp on the outside, and soft inside. Not your average hush puppy -- this one was rich and buttery, the kind that makes you pause after the first bite. First Course: Blue Cheese Soufflé with garlic crostinis. As a lifelong blue cheese fan, this was my idea of comfort food. Warm, creamy, and full of flavor. The portion was generous -- easily enough for two -- so we brought half home to enjoy later. If I had one suggestion, a slightly smaller serving might make it even better. Second Course: Roasted Roulade of Duck Breast -- one Mallard, one Muscovy. Both were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The difference between the two varieties was distinct -- one a bit deeper and gamier, the other more subtle and tender. The portion size surprised me -- far larger than most restaurants would serve. Acre always delivers great food, but the presentation and execution here were exceptional. Third Course: Panna Cotta (goat cheese, whipped cherry meringue). A light and clever finish to the meal. The goat cheese gave it just enough tang to balance the sweetness of the cherry meringue. It hit all the right notes -- simple, elegant, and satisfying. We also decided to branch out from our usual cocktails and tried three new ones we'd spotted on Acre's Instagram: * Pear After Dark (gin, spiced pear liqueur) -- bright and clean, with a subtle pear note. * Butter Proof Sour (brown butter-washed whiskey) -- rich, smooth, and a little dangerous. * Falling Leaves Latte (vodka, pumpkin spice liqueur) -- fall in a glass, not overly sweet, just really well done. Each drink was creative and beautifully balanced -- clearly made by people who love what they do. Another outstanding night at Acre. The new Grazing Menu is a fun addition -- seasonal, generous, and a great value for the quality. Highly recommend giving it a try before the menu changes again.

Every time we come here it's magical. Fro The chef counter with curative bites, to the patio enjoying some of the best fried chicken, to last time which was my brother's 21st! The steak was amazing (had the 16oz ribeye) the duck was great (a little overcooked for our taste) but flavorful and we love a pickled cherry! The special prawn pasta had good flavor but the pasta was about 1min out from being cooked well..a little crunchy instead of al dente. The wine is amazing, had a great recommendation (hint, it's the most expensive glass for a reason, get it) and the bar was doing wonders with the cocktail list this season (chili oil and dill?? Fantastic choices) Never a disappointment.

Not my first time and it's always amazing! Definitely in my top 5 restaurants in KC. They certainly have unreasonable hospitality", they have a team approach for the tables, and service is excellent!! We also received an explanation of the handmade grill and the method of grilling, smoking, ... that made this visit even more special. Emmanuel was our waiter and he did a fantastic job, very polite, professional and attentive. We will be back again soon! Thank you Acre!, Keep doing what you're doing!

My lawd! Dinner at @acre_kc was phenomenal! We got a reservation at 6pm and the restaurant was almost empty... by the time we left at 8:30 it was packed! Our waitress, Kate, was knowledgeable, kind and is clearly dedicated to the restaurant- having been there three years. I got a festive holiday mocktail, and then we split the beef tartare. Every plate that was brought out from the kitchen to other tables had our mouths watering. My friend had the fairytale pumpkin soup. Check out the video for the presentation! For entrees we got the half chicken and the wood fired sirloin with carrots and chimichurri. The portions were generous so we both took leftovers home. Yum! The drive to Parkville was not bad and parking was easy to find. They were very accommodating of my dietary restrictions. Will add this to my list of places to revisit!

...oops, this one is almost a year late...my bad :P Fingers crossed I can remember enough - but lets just say it was a wonderful anniversary dinner. Chef's counter is always a fun time for us (especially with a set menu) as it make boyfriend actually trying things he wouldn't. i.e. The Beef Tartare. Which I loved and he was kind of ambivalent about! He loved the hush puppies as they had a wonderful kick to it that we always enjoy. The Cappelletti with the braised rabbit was such surprise as we both aren't the biggest fans of rabbit...but it tasted so amazing. And the beef...so good and being able to watch them cooked over the fire...amazing. It was great to learn about the food and process from the Chef/Owner but also to talk to the various Sous Chefs. Look its totally worth the cost for the chef's counter - you get amazing food, great conversation, and a show! Especially for any special occasions...or you know...you just wanna have a wonderful meal and a great time!

Packed restaurant on a Friday night - definitely get a reservation! Our server gave some great recs and was quite attentive. We ordered the beef tartare, rabbit pasta, trout, and fried chicken. I'm not a huge fan of tartare but my friend enjoyed it. Everything else I would order again without hesitation. Great flavors. Bigger portions than expected so we had leftovers! For dessert we had a chocolate cremiux. It was very rich and had great balance of textures. Perfect for chocolate lovers! Overall, great date night spot and delicious food with good value portions for the price!

Fantastic atmosphere, service and food. The staff here does a great job with their attention to hospitality. Their menu is hikes with everything to the smallest detail being made in house, so whatever you pick will be homemade and likely provide great pleasure. This is a fantastic date spot, but would also recommend for a business lunch / dinner or getting together with close friends.

Acre in Parkville is truly our favorite restaurant experience. We love the thoughtful farm-to-table concept and the way the menu changes with the seasons, from the cocktails to the food, everything feels fresh, intentional, and beautifully crafted. The atmosphere is the perfect balance of sleek and cozy, making it a place where we always feel comfortable in. Their private patio is perfect when the weather cooperates. The service is consistently outstanding, attentive without ever feeling rushed. Acre is a go-to for us, and every visit is reliably exceptional.

I went with my girl friends, and we all agreed that Acre has great drinks, awesome side dishes and fantasies dessert. But the steak was ok and not impressive with the price they charge. However we enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant, the nice and attentive staffs, and the our time to get together at Acre restaurant. The staffs were really nice to try their best to accommodate our needs and help us to get the dishes, the drinks, and the dessert we wanted. Without those factors, it would be only 4 stars.

We came to acre for our anniversary dinner. The restaurant is modern and clean with an open kitchen concept. Parking wasnt a problem for us here. When you walk in, the entire restaurant has a nice smoke smell which I thought added a cozy ambiance. Our service was impeccable, we had a friendly waitress who was honest and gave us a walkthrough of the Acre concept and experience. This is a farm to table concept and everything seems to be made in-house. She was attentive throughout the night and brought us a champagne toast to celebrate. I can't recommend their pasta dish enough with braised rabbit as well as their delicata squash soup. Both had complex flavor, the pasta was rich and the rabbit cut through it along with the parsley to create a delicious experience. The delicata soup was smooth and hearty with sour cherries for a pop of flavor. Their fried chicken is outstanding, the best I've had in KC. Crispy and moist inside and they give you a very large portion. Although I didn't feel that the fries were elevated - I would recommend picking a different side. My husband ordered the steak which was cooked perfectly, and his hatch Chile Mac and cheese had a subtle pepper flavor with a smooth sauce. The basque cheesecake was fluffy and smooth without being too sweet. Their cocktails were okay but I would pass on the next visit. This is a great addition to Parkville, and worth a visit.

Acre is a solid dinner date spot with friendly service and a seasonal menu. The focaccia was the star of the night--worth coming back for. Overall good, not mind-blowing, but I'd try it again.

I had the pleasure of going out on a date with my husband at this lovely restaurant. When we arrived, they were completely full and only had a few spots open at the bar. I'm glad we sat at the bar because our server Angel was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable with the menu and crafted tasty drinks for us. We ordered the American Wagu Tartare. This was a delightful dish. It was a but heavy on the mustard, but if you pair, it was the pickled cabbage and capers all the flavors balance perfectly. We were able to try the house made ricotta cappelletti, and this creation was delicious. The braised rabbit and mousseline paired perfectly together. The dish came with four pieces, and each piece was so rich with flavor that was all we needed. My husband ordered 45-Day Dry Aged Ribeye. Loved it. I ordered the 8oz dry-aged agnus burger. This was cooked perfectly. I ordered this because the menu started it had a red-onion marmalade (which was perfect). I didn't notice it had spicy aioli, which overpowered the entire burger. Honesty, it didn't need the aioli (my taste buds couldn't handle it). This was a pleasant experience, and we will be going back again.

I just cant....how this place has any less than 5 stars is BEYOND!!! From the rolls to the salad to the dry aged steak, sides, cocktails and through to dessert-everything was a perfect 10. Loved my server! Loved the patio with great music-whole place was a vibe. Real drr aged kansas city beef-silkiest potatoes-pistachio harissa carrots...one bite was better than the last. Espresso martini and midwest peanut butter pie rounded out the 10/10 meal! Good thing I dont live here or this place would be a problem! The chef trained at The French Laundry so you know its fantastic! Go and thank me later!

Acre is a great fresh fine dining experience in a comfortable setting. Indoor or gated outdoor tables. VERY clean and very green environment using natural fiber cloths, lovely plates and silverware but the terrific FOOD! That is the WHY of going to ACRE. My Beet Salad, Delightful Newest Pasta Dish + Mildred's Lemon cake .. all for under $45!

I want to give 5 stars here's why I didn't. I made a reservation,i arrived on time, only 2 other tables at the time Occupied, and the host tried to sit me at a 2 top basically in front of host stand and front door ! If I wanted the absolute worst table in the restaurant, I wouldn't have bothered with the reservation! Second, I find the price point for an average night out simply too high. So definitely just a special occasion place. 3rd, don't wear anything that needs to be dry cleaned. I had to immediately throw our clothes in the wash and jump in the shower to wash the smoke smell off . That being said, food was tasty, and I actually found the portions to be generous to the point I should have ordered less. I often find these kind the establishments,You need several courses, and that's not the case here, which was refreshing but had i known before over ordering.

Fantastic each time. From start to finish. Even held our breath and brought children here last night for a special dinner. No need to worry, no one had a single complaint. Chef Andrew even took time out of his busy dinner rush to spend time with my youngest. Love! Wait staff are top notch. She kept drinks full and plates cleaned. Very pleasant. We noticed last night that even though the restaurant was completely full, we were still able to have our own conversations without having to raise our voices to be heard. Really elevated the ambiance. Absolutely incredible to have this special place right down the street from us.

Acre is in a shopping center in Parkville off the 45 hwy. I love this because it's only five minutes from my house. It's on the upscale side but to me it's worth every cent. I absolutely love this place. As soon as you step in the door you're greeted by friendly staff and a nice aroma of yummy smelling food. Very warm and inviting atmosphere. It's an open kitchen so you can see the Chefs at work. I ordered the chopped salad, 35 day KC strip which came with a side, and a choice of sauce. The side I ordered was creamed spinach with gruyere and cheese curds. I picked the smoked horseradish crème fraiche sauce for my steak. The salad was very good. It came with Applewood bacon, pickled onion, dill trout roe (I don't care for roe so I declined that) and Maytag blue cheese dressing. Perfectly cooked steak, so juicy and full of flavor and excellent with that horseradish sauce. The creamed spinach was good but just a tad bit salty for my taste. I know when they first opened this restaurant they weren't open for lunch, but now that they are I need to try their lunch menu as well. Parkville needs more restaurants like this.

Second visit and waited too long for the second visit. Had the nicest experience and secured the best fine dining place in the Northland. We enjoyed our Ribeye for two, potato purée and fresh green beans. Starter salad and wine were also very good. Outdoor seating was available on a beautiful night. View on the patio isn't the best because of their location but it was like having dinner on our neighborhood patio only fancier. Friendly and social, only better than our neighborhood and didn't have to clean up or cook. Haha

For the price, I would go elsewhere. The ambiance was nice and the service was good, but at the end of the day, the food is most important. I ordered the pickled chicken, and it lacked a lot of flavor. I'm not sure if the chicken is brined at all, but it probably could have benefitted from a brine or a longer brine. For chicken that's cooked just as well and seasoned much better, I'd go to Stroud's. Or if you're in the South, you know to go to Publix. I appreciate that Acre is trying to do something a little different for the area, but I feel like it's only good for the soccer moms that have simple palates that are more wowed by atmosphere and price. To top things off, we had the cobbler dessert, and it was overpoweringly sweet. The actual fruit flavor was lost-- no acidity to balance out the flavors and no complexity to entice the senses. I am not sure I'd go back to try Acre again.

Where to even begin...Acre is by far one of the best restaurants in the KC area, including food, drink, ambiance and service. Acre is our go to restaurant for a nice weekend dinner or somewhere special to bring our out of town guests. For those south of the river, definitely worth the trip up north. For this dinner we started with a round of drinks, with a great selection from their new Autumn menu. Appetizers included the spring greens salad, house-made Parker rolls with the delicious sorghum-smoked chili butter, and of course the OG ricotta cappelletti with rabbit (how is it possible for a dish to be this good?!). For our main, the piece de resistance was the 21-day bone-in ribeye for 2. Cooked medium rare and to absolute perfection, this baby is absolutely a treat for anyone who is a meat lover. They show you the cut of meat before they cook so that you can see all that beautiful marbling, then they show you after cooking before they let it rest and it continues to have a little bath in that delicious butter. Our sides included the silky smooth puréed potatoes and the heirloom tomatoes, both great additions to the steak without overpowering. For dessert we ended with the peach cake and of course after dinner drinks. 5/5 review, highly recommend to anyone and all who are looking for a truly fabulous restaurant. With subtle homage to it's predecessor, Bluestem, this place is a gem.

We made reservations in advance and paid a small deposit. The quaint and quiet restaurant is tastefully decorated, and has a very intimate feel. We had four courses, and each course was better than the next. I will definitely be coming back here. They have lots of happy hour options in different events as well as a cooking class. A fun, happy hour with friends or a date night with your special someone.

I've always loved Acre and was looking forward to treating myself to a Friday Lunch escape. I pivoted and ordered the Cobb Salad. It was the worst meal I've had in a year. The chicken still had bones and cartilage in it, was flavorless and dry. It was as if they took all the straps off a Roasterie chicken and sat in the fridge for a week and put it on top. The bacon was these super small hard as a rock, bits that hurt to try to eat. Please I'm posting this as a warning that you should get anything else on the menu. The amount of food for a $22 salad was not enough for a grown adult, and I selected it because it was listed as an entree not as a starter. Please don't make the mistake I did.

Well tonight I decided I was going to try a cheeseburger at a place I had never eaten at. So, I hop in my car, and I head over to Parkville, find a parking spot close to Acre Restaurant, go inside sit down at the bar and ask for a menu. On this menu they had a cheeseburger listed half a pound with bacon and onion Jam and a really nice bun and some cheese sounded really good. So, I ordered up a Boulevard tank 7 and a cheeseburger with an order of fries. And in just a few moments a server brought me that cheeseburger, Here is the description from their menu. 8 ounce dry-aged black angus burger, aged cheddar, apple wood smoked bacon, red onion marmalade, spicy aioli, house-made bun, garlic fries. I picked this burger up and took a bite out of it and it was if my whole body kind of went blank with surprise as there was a splash of juices with this exquisite flavor of exceptionally well prepared beef. Along with the savory taste of bacon, the sweetness of the onion jam, the creaminess of the cheese, and a slight crunchy toughness of the bread. Without a doubt the juiciest burger that I have had in a long time! My taste buds put on an extra set of hula hoops and started doing the happy dance. This is an exceptional Burger. While I was there, Chef Andrew Longres came up and introduced himself to me and I had a very pleasant talk with him, He was gracious enough to take me back and show me the grill where they grill the steaks. And then he showed me the area in which they dry age their steaks and these steaks are aged for weeks. You might want to consult their web page for more details, as they do offer an exceptional dining experience. Well done Acre Restaurant! Well done indeed. It's a Wednesday night and I am stuffing my face with one of the tastiest Burgers I've ever sunk my teeth into, in Parkville Missouri and life is good!

Poorly cooked steak. For 45 day dry aged and the price it was mediocre at best. Subpar service. Best thing we had was the fried chicken. I might try again at lunch. But unlikely.

To be honest, I was that excited to dine here because the menu is smaller and I wasn't in the mood for the options. However, I couldn't have been more wrong about it all. While the options are not a huge book, they're without a doubt the best thing you'll ever experience. The restaurant itself is small, intimate, and cute. Service was impeccable! Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. We started with the carrot soup. It was amazing!! Presentation, 10/10! Followed by the smoked ricotta. I'm a sucker for ricotta and this did not disappoint. It was served with fried crackers. Next, we shared the delicious spring greens salad followed by the pork chop and cappelletti. The pork chop is a MUST. Everything about it from the sauces to the garnishes and pork itself was divine! Lastly, we enjoyed the bread pudding which was terrific then we wobbled out stuffed and can't wait to come back!

Finally got the change to check out Acre. I have been seeing this restaurant reviewed by many other KC locals. Acre is a newer restaurant in the Parkville area. It is located near many other shops and places to eat. Parking was easy and close to the restaurant. We made reservations online so we had no wait. We went on a Saturday evening so I would alway recommend making reservations if you can. There is a decent amount of seating between tables and bars, but nothing crazy. Our service was very good. Waiters were willing to answer questions about the menu and give a bit of history on the restraint. Options to choose your steak occur as you walk in. Everything was very clean and decorated nicely. They recommended we order everything together. Our appetizer was small but amazing. They tasted like broccoli and cheese casserole bites essentially. The salad and pasta were a great addition. Portions aren't huge but the food was filling. The icing on the cake might have been the best part. The espresso inspired dessert was a HUGE hit at our table. Lots of cute cocktails as well! Defiantly a cool and unique experience that I would recommend and go back to!

Comfortable seating, great ambiance, food that is savory and served with style. Intimate and charming, Acre is a midwestern mix of upscale and traditional. The espresso with its humble but perfect 10ct brown sugar nugg pairs nicely with the bread pudding, when I say nicely I mean, get that. I don't even like bread pudding and I know for a fact I will go there again soon just for this dessert. They forever changed my mind about saltines. Don't second guess this one folks, it's the type of shareable food you don't mind being an ass about and taking the last cracker when there's a 60 second pause in reaches. But wait, the waiter then came back and asked us if we wanted more! Oh, hell yes we do. Those were my highlights but I can tell you I was salivating over the look of my neighbors roasted veggies, and this was the first time I was all over my own food and didn't ask my husband for a bite of his, and that my friends, is saying something.

My husband and I finally made it out to Acre in Parkville last night to celebrate our anniversary. I have continually heard amazing things on here about the restaurant and have been wanting to try it for some time. To say we were impressed is a massive understatement. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the most amazing aromas. We were taken right to our seat where an anniversary card was waiting for us signed by all the staff, including Chef Andrew. Our server shared with us the history of the restaurant and was very well-versed on the entire menu. She offered numerous suggestions and each one ended up being perfect for us! Upon finishing our complementary champagne, we ordered the Swidden acre old fashioned and Missouri wildfire cocktails. Both were beautiful in appearance and lovely in taste. Foodwise, we started off with the American wagyu tartare and ricotta cappelletti with braised rabbit. Wow. Just wow. Both were full of flavor and absolutely hit the spot. My husband ordered the 35-day dry-aged Kansas City strip with creamy cheesy corn and I got the Iowa hay roasted pork chop with pickled blueberries and black pepper jus with pommes puree. Holy explosion of flavors! Everything was just amazing, and I think we can officially say we both have a new "best steak we've ever had". For dessert we tried Maxine's lemon cake with preserved berries, lemon curd, sweet cream. This is Chef's grandma's recipe, and it did not disappoint. I'm a dessert girl and happen to love lemon anything. My husband, on the other hand, rarely eats sweets. We both were big fans of this dessert. We had high expectations coming into this dinner and they were not only met, but exceeded. The attention to detail in everything put on our table was very apparent. We are looking forward to coming back and trying the chef counter hearth experience! Thank you to everyone for the recommendation and thank you to Chef Andrew and his team for a truly remarkable dining experience.

Wow! Acre has got it all! Located in Parkville, Acre is a wonderful dining experience with great ambiance, service, and food. We sat outside on the covered patio. The street was a bit noisy but we hardly noticed once the food appeared. We started with the watermelon salad with whipped yogurt. It was truly a beautiful dish and quite possibly the best salad I have ever eaten. The kitchen delicately plated the dish and the flavor was a perfect balance of sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy. Next we ordered the grilled beeler pork chop and home-made ricotta cappelletti pasta with braised rabbit. The pork was juicy and delicious and the pasta was a fun take on a deconstructed pesto/alfredo. Both felt very interactive and kept us searching to combine the perfect bite on each forkful. Lastly, we enjoyed the milk chocolate smores pie and it was a super fun take on a popular summertime favorite. I cannot wait to return to Acre, dine inside, and try a delicious dry-aged steak. This is a gem of a restaurant and a must try!

when's the last time you treated yourself to a truly phenomenal meal?? try the chef's hearth experience and be prepared to be wowed on the menu: winter tasting menu 1. smoked ricotta tartlet, smoked trout roe, beef tartare, and midwest hoe cake 2. smoked potato soup 3. roasted carrot salad 4. braised rabbit & ricotta cappelletti 5. 52 day dry-aged ribeye 6. dark chocolate cremieux our thoughts: there are not words to accurately describe how wonderful the meal was, truly one of the very best tasting menus we've had. the atmosphere is very warm & welcoming, refined yet still relaxed. our tip: add the wine pairing with your tasting menu, it really adds to the experience brings it together kiddo menu available: yes

If you're seeing this, make your reservation today! It's worth the walk, drive, or flight! No need to do more research...THIS IS A MUST VISIT! The service is always amazing, the food is beyond delicious! And the drink selection is top notch! This quaint restaurant is located in Parkville near Hwy 9 and 45 and it packs a punch of great options and tastes! Lots of exclamations here, but I love this place!!!!!

A visit to this restaurant is a must! From the service to the birthday wishes, they left on the table with everyone's signature, to the ambience, food, etc. this place has my heart. I will be back. My son and daughter-in-law celebrated their two year anniversary dinner here. We went to dinner last night for my other sons, dirty 30 birthday dinner.

Holy cow this place has it all! From the moment you walk in you feel super welcome! You are greeted with the soft smell of a fire and the ambiance is perfect for a date night or business dinner. The bar is a tight squeeze but worth it. The cocktails will rival the best speakeasy's in KC and I've been to almost all of them. Once you've had a cocktail from the appetizers to the entrees their presentation and flavor continue to amaze you. The portions are the perfect size and each course compliments the next. I really appreciate how they support local growers and farmers and you certainly get the sense when you taste your food this is fresh and local. This is about a 45 minute drive for us but we'll be back again soon!

Food and service was amazing! A bit pricey, but excellent food for a special event! The venue was immaculate! I was wearing shorts, but wish I would have dressed a little nicer.

Unfortunately, I ate too much steak and have to come back to try the rest of the meals. I had the 40 day aged beef. My hot date had the rabbit. We had sides of Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and sweet potato. Five-star dining at Acre: where farm-fresh meets fire My recent experience at Acre restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped inside, the warmth of the wood-burning stove and the inviting atmosphere had me captivated. The farm-to-table concept truly shines here,with each dish showcasing the freshest, seasonal ingredients prepared with passion and artistry. The wine menu complemented the food perfectly, offering a diverse selection of regional and international options to suit every palate. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring a truly memorable dining experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend it and wouldn't hesitate to give it a five-star rating! Cinq étoiles chez Acre : là où le frais de la ferme rencontre le feu Mon expérience récente au restaurant Acre a été tout simplement exceptionnelle. Dès mon entrée, la chaleur du poêle à bois et l'atmosphère accueillante m'ont captivé. Le concept de la ferme à la table brille vraiment ici, chaque plat mettant en valeur les ingrédients les plus frais et de saison, préparés avec passion et créativité. La carte des vins complétait parfaitement la nourriture, offrant une sélection diverse de vins régionaux et internationaux pour tous les palais. Le service était attentionné et compétent, garantissant une expérience culinaire vraiment mémorable. Si vous recherchez un restaurant qui célèbre les produits locaux, fait preuve de créativité culinaire et offre une ambiance indéniablement chaleureuse et accueillante, ne cherchez pas plus loin qu'Acre. Je le recommande vivement et n'hésiterais pas à lui attribuer une note de cinq étoiles !

We went for lunch with some friends. First impression was it was WAY too smoky smelling. When I left I smelled like I had been around a bbq pit all day. And I like bbq but I don't want to smell like that in my nice clothes. Second, the tables were very close together. When we got there, there was a group of two women and the host put us right next to them. We were there for several hours and it never got busy so I don't know why couldn't put us further away from the other table. The menu was very limited. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich was actually really good and I didn't mind the price. That said, you can only get their kettle chips as a side unless you want to pay $3 extra - even for fries. I'm cheap so I went with the chips. I ate maybe 1/4 of them. They weren't super crispy and were cut way too thick. I asked for a side of bbq sauce and my friend asked for a side of ketchup. The waitress told us they don't have either. They sell steak, have fries but don't have ketchup or bbq sauce - not even a house made option. I also ordered the lemon cake for dessert. All the other apps and entrees were decent portion sizes so I was expecting a good size piece of cake. What I got tasted good but the cake itself was so small I had trouble finding it in the pile of blueberries coated with something gritty and crunchy and the whipped cream. Pretty sure I got more of the garnishes than the actual cake. Overall the food was pretty good for lunch. The servers were nice and the chef was making ravioli by hand in front of everyone which is impressive. But overall the place seems kind of pretentious. I'd never pay the dinner prices they charge and probably won't go back for lunch again.

This is an amazing place. One of the best restaurants in Kansas City. We have always had white glove treatment and their wine selections are amazing.

After months of driving by Acre Restaurant my wife and I finally made reservations and stopped in to try what would be one of our favorite restaurants in KC. Although Parkville is only minutes from our home the anticipation got the best of us. You walk in and are treated like a VIP which sets the tone for what's about to come next. As you pass the open kitchen there are smells of woodfire and comfort. We start off with drinks and I order an old fashioned which is pretty darn good the wife orders a Missouri Wildfire and oh boy that was one of the finest cocktails I have tasted Bravo to Acre! We shared a salad and the pickled chicken which was incredible we loved the hot sauce so much we asked for a side and dipped the garlic fries to add more delight to our meal. Not sure why we waited so long but we are definitely going back.

Delicious meal! They hand make everything from scratch except the ketchup here and you can definitely tell! Superior and amazing food!! I forgot to take pictures of our main meals (we split the burger & fries and the pickled fried chicken & veggies)--everything was on point! The only thing I didn't love was that they don't have ranch dressing for the chicken/fries (something I value in American dining!) but the ketchup ended up working fine. We were fully satisfied at the end of the meal. You won't be disappointed if you go here!

This place hit every mark for me. My only regret was that I did not have time to experience a greater depth of the menu any further as I was there for a late lunch from the clean and sophisticated decor, to the thoughtful design--IN everything (including how the bill was presented). I would drive the distance to experience Acre and all it has to offer. The people/staff, the drinks, food and environment was incredible. Don't forget to start your meal with the house made ricotta for sure!

I have been dying to try out this restaurant ever since long before it was even open. We finally made it in to celebrate my birthday, and it lived up to every dream and expectation that I had. I wanted to include the fact that we brought the kids (7 & 9) in case anyone else was wondering if the whole family might enjoy it. And I say - if it's in your budget - go for it! Let me tell you all the reasons why: They do have a kids menu. My boys both ordered the chicken strips and my picky eaters proclaimed them "The BEST chicken tenders ever." And let me tell you, they've eaten a lot of chicken strips at a lot of different places. My oldest asked if he could get to choose what restaurant he has dinner at for his birthday. I said yes and he immediately replied, "I want to come here and get the chicken tenders again." The food was timed perfectly. Our thoughtful server entered the kids' entrees so they came out with the adult soups (because you can't not get the smoked tomato soup). Free entertainment for the kids as they watched the chefs cook through the glass window. The kids both ordered a Shirley temple (with scratch made grenadine of course) and unanimously also declared them to be the BEST Shirley temples ever. And for dessert they shared the dark chocolate cremeux - basically a deconstructed s'more and right up their alley. They devoured it. Now, as to the adult perspective? Service was impeccable. The hostess was very gracious (and I was so happy to snag the last open table, since there were no reservations available online) and our server was just amazing. Drinks were crafted perfectly. Food presentation was on point and everything tasted amazing. Portions were very filling without being too much. Bravo to everyone there! What an amazing birthday experience.

If you're quickly scrolling through reviews to see if you should eat here the answer is yes. I just got home and am utterly stuffed as I write this- couldn't stop eating, the food was too good. For those who want more info, Acre is the inaugural restaurant from the talented Chef Andrew Longres, who has an excellently pedigreed resume but honestly all you need to know about him is that he's creative, curious, kind, and very good at what he does. He makes great food. Having been so sad to see him leave Bluestem and then the American, we're thrilled he's back in action in KC. He's almost certainly our favorite chef in town. The team he's built at Acre is excellent: from bar to food to pastry to service, each is well-curated and well-executed. The cocktail and wine menu was thoughtful and compelling. There was creative thought behind it, not simple emulation of trends to try to justify a $15 price point. As far as Acre itself, it's Belfry meets Bluestem meets Stock Hill - elevated pub food plus fine dining and steaks. There's something for everyone here. And all of it is executed with excellence. We started with the whipped ricotta. If it's available when you go you absolutely should get it. The creaminess but simultaneous lightness of the cheese combined with thoughtful touches for flavor and texture made for an excellent opener. We then went with the pumpkin soup. If it's available when you go you absolutely should get it. Adding poached cherries to the soup was brilliant. It's such a special dish. We went home and made a gourd-based soup ourselves we were so inspired. The cappelletti with braised rabbit looked amazing, so we tried it as well. If it's available when you go you absolutely should get it. Turns out it is amazing. I don't remember if I used the word symphonic while we ate it, but yes. Flavor and texture combinations and contrasts, light while deep... masterfully done. We also shared a burger. If it's available when you go you absolutely should think about it. It's a great option and we'd totally be back for it alone. The red onion marmalade combined with bacon and cheddar worked so very well. There may also be other dishes that appeal to you, so it's not an absolute must, but it's an excellent option and addition to the menu, an accessible item in both familiarity and in price point. Our table also had such a good time with the other openers that we did an order of fried cheese curds. While these are probably the best I'd ever had with an exceptional texture and flavored sauce, there's an awful lot in the order so unless there's four at your table you should probably hold off. Your doctor will thank you for it: not because of the calories or cholesterol, but because she cares about you like I do and wants you to have room for all the other good food. Every item we ordered was delicious. We're eager to return and see what's next - there were so many great ideas here, it was fun to get inspired. Shout out to the service team, who were warm and welcoming and passionate about the food as well. It's wonderful to see at any time, let alone year three of a global health catastrophe that has absolutely scorched servers and nurses with what they have been forced to put up with. Congrats and thanks to them. My one "criticism" is the location. I hope the good people of Parkville realize how special this place is. This is the kind of place people would make pilgrimages to atop a mountain or in a converted farmhouse, and it's ensconced in an upscale sort of strip mall. The interior with the open kitchen is very tasteful, the outdoor patio section is well done for the limited space they're working with, but it's wild to see something this good next to a suburban karate dojo and a Walgreens. Like yeah I needed to swing by an optometrist and then get my nails done, and while I'm here I may as well eat at one of the best restaurants the region has to offer. So yes, don't worry about finding parking, there's a lot of spaces in the area. I actually like having phenomenal food in humble locations, so it's all good for me, I just don't want anyone mistaking this for anything less than spectacular.

We went for our anniversary and we had a wonderful meal with great service. They recognized our anniversary and the burger there is outstanding!

If you go away hungry, it's your own fault. I had the pleasure of dining at the Chefs table. The food was spot on. I am now a fan of rabbit! I was able to experience the teamwork that made our meal a success. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday. Thank you all who made the evening a delightful mix of sweet, savory, crunchy, smooth. You hit all my senses and was a fantastic experience. I need to make it back for that butter drenched steak that was making us all drool. May you have continued success!

I heard about this place, and I was glad to finally visit. It's safe to say it lives up to the hype. There's definitely a market for this type of place in Parkville. It seemed busy on a weeknight too, so that's a good sign. We had the rolls for an appetizer. Both the rolls and the butter they came with were awesome. I had a pork chop served with grilled peaches and broccoli and the presentation was very cool and all of the accompaniments paired very well with the pork chop. The group I was with allowed me to try a little bit of everything. The fried chicken was very good, and so was the pasta with braised rabbit. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Let me start by saying this is an absolute Kansas City must if you want to try an elevated midwestern meal. The dry age steak for two was exceptional with the potato puree and fries. Some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had came from This kitchen. The presentation while cooking the steak was phenomenal as they showed us the steak in phases prior to cutting and plating it. The staff were kind and very helpful and provided assistance with ordering as you have to provide your full order at once. Definitely a hidden gem in the Parkville area!

Where to even begin with the incredible experience I had at Chef Andrew's place. The ambiance is incredible and seating arragement makes the perfect setting for date night, a night out with friends or just treating yourself. Love the open kitchen concept. We started with the beef tartare which was acidic and mindblowing. The homemade chips were the perfect crunch. The garganelli pasta was one of my favorite dishes I've eaten anywhere from Rome to LA. I wish I could have that every single day for the rest of my life. Also pictured is some of the crispy chicken which is basically ditto what I just said about the pasta (thanks Chef!). For dessert we had the blueberry crumble and ice cream and yeah, once again. Probably my favorite dessert ever. Justin took great care of us, and the cocktails we perfect too. 10000/10 would recommend

Had our first visit to Acre and it lived up to the hype. Fantastic, attentive service that made the experience even better. The restaurant is an intimate space - filled with the warm aroma of the wood fires that are cooking the delicious food. You order the entire meal up front so the serve can handle coursing which provides a nice flow to the evening. Everything we tried was great - and we got so engrossed in enjoying the food that we didn't snap pictures of the main course or dessert. The pickled chicken is some of the best fried chicken we've had in quite some time and both desserts were great. A wonderful evening at a place I have no doubt we'll visit again soon !

New restaurant in Parkville, Missouri @acre_kc Highlights of our meal, Wagyu tartare, tomato soup, and the honey crust on the lemon cake. This tartare had horseradish and mustard and capers just a flavor bomb. Also, really liked the tomato soup, wanted that the cheese to be cut a little bit smaller so that it got gooey in the hot soup. There were small special hits throughout the meal, pickled banana peppers on the salad and in the cheese curds, fried saltines on the salad. Sadly the fried cheese curds, had lost their cheese but the pimento cheese mousse is delicious!
