We visited the town of Rochelle, actually for a tour of the distillery. And before that we were attracted by the smell of food, we looked for the location, we thought it was nice and we decided to enter. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived, we didn't have a reservation but that wasn't a problem, they gave us a table. Firstly we had some banana bread drinks and a Rochelle Jackas, of both I would recommend the Rochelle, with ginger, I loved it. We had A1 burger, it was also very tasty and the potatoes were well cooked. It is an excellent place to eat with the family.

Had dinner here last night. Our server Jess was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere here is cozy. The portions are well inline with the price. The lemon pasta tasted fresh and vibrant, added on the shrimp to the pasta and it was perfect! The soup was a creamy mushroom veg soup which was delicious! The Philly crunch wrap had amazing flavor and a good crunch which was excellent. Overall the dining experience was tremendous. Definitely recommend.

Acres never disappoints!! Every time I order the food and staff are phenomenal!!! Tonight they had been busy and a little bit behind but that did not take away the exceptional service they had provided. It’s worth the wait I promise you. Corey was one of the staff members that had assisted me tonight with my pick up order. He was so sweet and helpful. The cook (I’m sorry I did not catch his name) but he was equally sweet and apologetic for the wait but honestly life happens and no need to apologize. You all worked so very hard and honestly one the best staff in town. Thank you so much for the delicious food and saving this mama from a night of cooking. God Bless each of you.

Was in town for a work trip stopped at this restaurant based off of a google maps search. I think it’s probably the bestdinner spot in Rochelle with a super cool aesthetic. Chef Nathan killed it with his menu, which just changed today. We loved the burrata, salmon, and spring salad but you can’t go wrong with anything.

Great food, simple menu so you know every item is quality. Chef Nathan is great, and takes extensive precautions of any food allergies. Knowledgeable staff. The best food in town.

My wife and I have talked about trying Acres Bistro since it opened several years ago. We finally got around to it for Valentine's Day dinner in 2024. And while I cannot comment on the regular menu items, I can comment that one of the Valentine's menu items was outstanding.I had the Butter Lover's ribeye, with Cajun cayenne butter (which was also added to the baked potato), cooked perfectly medium rare. This steak makes my top five steaks list for the tenderness and flavor. Aside from the baked potato, it also came with a small arugula salad with pickled onions and a sprinkling of pepper, which was amazing. My wife had the ribeye as well, but with blue cheese butter, and was very pleased with her meal. Since it was Valentine's Day, they had a couple of other specials going on; $5 off a bottle of wine, and four complimentary chocolate covered strawberries which they boxed to go since we were both full.The staff we interacted with, including the owner, was attentive, courteous, and seemed to work together as a team. The decor is charming, I really liked the farm windmill ceiling fan and the painting next to our table.In my opinion, the two entree's, a bottle of wine and a craft beer was well worth the bill plus tip, and at some point, I would like to try some of the regular menu items.

You can tell the chefs truly care about food here. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious! The decor is also very charming and welcoming. I like to come here with friends or date night ?
Would like bigger entree menu. Came on a Thursday. Trout on menu not available. They substituted salmon. Other entree was a meat dish. Service a little slow. Only one server. Having said all that food was outstanding. Will be back. Mixed drinks done well.
