Kristel Poole: Go to Acacia between 5:30-6:30 and order off the $23 fixed price menu. What a deal! Tuesdays are half price wine bottles! (When in doubt, get the oysters or crab cakes.)
Randall Fletcher: Best crab cakes in town, maybe ever.
Charles Edge: If you want to never be satisfied with another restaurants crab cakes again have theirs! I am ruined!
Virginia Hendricks: The blackened mahi is one of the best plates of food I have had in a very long time. The arugula and beet salad and the crab cakes also excellent, the flavor combinations were all on point.
Lauren McMullen: Crab cake Benedict. Pancakes. Pork belly pastrami. You'll be back for more. 👏🏾 They bring their A game now that they're back.
Tess Dixon: Get the calamari. Get the crab cakes. Get the truffle fries. Get a cocktail.

Deborah Childs: Great crab cake sandwich! Amazing desserts!!!
Mighty Casey: Aviator salad with crabcakes - extra anchovies, please! - is my kryptonite. But there isn't anything on this menu that isn't amazing/awesome. GREAT place.
Tanisha: Pancakes, Crabcake Eggs Benedict and boozy brunch beverages were the tops.
Tammy: Get the crabcake! It's SO worth it. And the pizzookie - say goodbye to your diet. Awesome covered patio.
Sarah Jamillah: Excellent food beautiful at sunset! If you're really hungry, get the crab cakes, If you want a smaller taste of something wonderful, have the scallops, both were delicious!

Jeaneen White-Tops: Unfortunately, I can't speak too highly for the food, but the service was good. Crab cakes are NOT lump. Brown rice was overcooked. The pizza sauce was unexpectedly spicy. Good portion sizes though.
