ACRE Kitchen and Bar offers a delightful dining experience with incredible food, friendly staff, and a unique, beautiful atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a range of dishes, from appetizing arancini and delicious pizza, including the best hot honey pepperoni wood-fired pizza in the Bay, to a flavorful chicken dish and indulgent desserts like flourless chocolate cake and soft serve ice cream. The restaurant also features a cafe, bar, and upstairs fancier dining area, catering to various preferences. The atmosphere remains a favorite spot for meeting friends, and the service can vary, with some guests experiencing attentive care while others felt overlooked.
The interior is clean and deliberate, with wide-plank oak, exposed beams, and tiled bar surfaces lit by firelight from both the hearth and outdoor heaters. The menu is wood-fired California-Mediterranean, with standout flatbreads, rotisserie meats, and grilled vegetables. The experience depends on timing, as the restaurant can become packed, especially during weekly promotions like the popular Tuesday $1 oyster happy hour. While food and service are strong, pricing trends high compared to nearby options.
