| - I would give Acorn a 4-star for the food but the overall experience in terms of price/value, noise and comfort reduces my rating.
Wine prices by the glass are high (low teens) but that has become a trend here. But it was the price of the wine bottles that seemed more inflated with very few priced at under $50!
As others have noted, this is a pricey restaurant and the portion size in many cases (particularly the appetizers) was small. For a party of 3, we ordered two appetizers: the charred cauliflower ($14) and the root vegetables ($11). The cauliflower was very tasty, the root vegetable dish was served at room temperature and was just OK. Both dishes where on the tiny side given the price. We each had our own entree: Mushroom Rigatoni ($26), Arctic char ($33), and Rainbow Trout ($28). The trout dish was a decent size and very good, the Char was undercooked and had a strong mustard sauce as well as raw onions, the pasta dish was certainly tasty but again small in portion with no other sides. By the end of the meal, I was still moderately hungry. Given the high price of desserts, we opted to go across the street for gelato instead.
The noise level in terms of music was high and distracting, particularly since the restaurant was not overly crowded on a Tuesday night. Others have complained about the chairs but were not an issue for me.
Service was good but not great given the price point of this restaurant.
The menu is an interesting one though and for those willing/able to spend over $50 per person, it's certainly worth trying.
