I can't say enough good things about ACRE. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful restaurant in Memphis, but there's so much more to this hidden gem. Chefs Wally Joe and Andrew Adams were personally invested in making the event exactly as we envisioned. We met with Andrew a few times to tell him our likes, dislikes, favorite foods, trips we have taken together, and more so he could craft a menu to our tastes. He has a brilliance for synthesizing this information and creating a menu that is both delicious and impressive. If you're a foodie, he will indulge you - and surprise you - with his great ideas.
The evening went beautifully: we had about 60 people for a cocktail hour on the back patio (cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres); then we went inside for a sit-down, 4-course meal with wine pairings; and we capped off the night with champagne for toasts and passed dessert bites (the most delicious and inventive ice cream sandwiches ever). At the end of the night, we had planned to do speeches on the back patio, but it began to rain. Somehow, this was even better than we had planned - the main dining room was quite cozy, but so intimate, filled with all of our favorite people in the world. We couldn't have asked for a better night.
Along with the perfect food, the set-up and logistics were expertly handled by Margo Young. She was so patient with all my last-minute headcount changes, and she went out of her way to make sure we were happy. The entire staff went above and beyond to make this one of the best meals of our lives.

Perfect, romantic spot for rehearsal dinner
The Acre team was fantastic and took phenomenal care of us. The booking process was very easy and stress free- Margo was wonderful at communicating in a timely manner and getting us info quickly. Chef Andrew prepared a beautiful menu that reflected some unique things about our relationship (My husband is a beekeeper so we used his honey for the dessert and we had gnocchi as the pasta course because we had it on our first date.) Everything was so delicious, all of our guests raved about it, and the service was attentive and fast. Couldn't have asked for a better kick off to our wedding weekend! Would definitely recommend.
