This is actually a very attractive restaurant - what they have done with space that was formally an Asian restaurant is surprising. The space has a good feeling of a casual bistro. I have to say that initially we were extremely shocked when they handed the wine list to us There was literally only one bottle of wine for under $50. Many were in the $70 range - with the average maybe being $100. (We eat in a lot of upscale restaurants and even world class restaurants all over the world, so we know wine prices.) My husband was being sort of irritable with the waitress about the wine - owing to the fact that we had just arrived home after 19 hours of travel from Europe. I have to say that she handled his pointedness extremely well. While I know they are trying to do "upscale" food, this kind of a wine list is not fitting the type of place or price point of the food. That said, the GM came over and said that the waitress told him that we had been shocked by the wine list prices and he told us that they were currently in the process of reviewing this and correcting it. He also comped us wine that he was considering buying for the restaurant - which he certainly did not have to do. As far as food - I must say that my husband and I actually prefer menus that don't list so many of the ingredients ... as we find that you can often find something in the dish that you don't want if you scrutinize too closely. Additionally when we asked about a couple of the dishes, while many ingredients are listed, we learned some significant element that probably should have been mentioned was left out. This seems to be a recent trend - not specific to Acorn! Aside from that I must say that the food was excellent. It was beautifully presented, the portions were for appropriate for the price, and perfectly cooked. We had the short ribs appetizer as well as a crudo appetizer, and then we had the rib steak for two. The steak was perfectly done and the flavor was exceptional. Overall this was a lovely meal and I think with a couple kinks worked out, it should do great.
