This is located in the Dominion area so it has to be good. I am glad that it exceeded my expectations. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. She gave us great recommendations and details of the dishes. We loved the cherry tomatoes appetizer, that sauce is delightful. We also had the bacon wrapped dated but the date over powered the cheeses inside. My friend ordered the whole branzino and I had the rack of lamb. Both entrees were presented nicely and were at least two meals. The fish was cooked well with a nice smokey flavor. My lamb was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I am still thinking about it and I would happily order it again. I can't wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow.

We had an amazing dining experience at Acu Bistro Bar, we're extremely happy that we chose this place for Saturday dinner ~6pm-ish!
Plenty of parking spots were available just infront of the restaurant. The glass walls of the restaurant was decorated with plastic leaves outside leaving the entrance empty. There were both inside and outside sitting arrangements including bar area. They had funny decorations for Halloween! The restaurant had an enjoyable atmosphere, spacious sitting arrangements and good lighting. The place was >80% full when we reached. Attendants were nice and cordial. They served a digital menu card. Adequate number of menus detailing what's inside.
We started with Mule-lijoto which just prepared our food pallette. The drink was very refreshing, perfect balance of citrus and sugar with a pinch of bitterness. The crushed berries at the bottom of the copper mug made it more refreshing. We ordered dolma and stuffed dates as appetizers. 6 dolmas were served with a white citrus flavored sauce and a hint of spices. The leaves were tender, stuffing tasted great as well. The dates were stuffed with mango based ingredients and wrapped in bacon. 4 pieces were pretty heavy as appetizers! We think the bacon overpowered the sweetness, may be a little less bacon would have been great.
Our main course had lamb shank and short ribs. Lamb shank had a good portion size but trust me, short ribs were not short at all !! Atleast 4 servings were there! Both, the lamb and the ribs were well cooked, tender meat pieces didn't fall of the bones till we touched it with the fork & knife! Lamb shank was served on a cast iron pan with yellow rice and pomegranates. Short ribs were served with roasted potatoes and carrots with dip and sauce. We had to box the huge quantity, of course! We ended the meal with bread pudding and if you don't order it, it would be a huge miss. The solid soft hot bread pudding with burnt crust was served with a scoop of white chocolate ice cream drizzled with toffee and it was delicious with absolute bliss.
They are very generous with the portion size and kindly boxed all the leftovers. The main attraction is the fire oven which was serving fresh breads, pizzas.
We will try their pizza at some point of time.
We strongly recommend this place especially for weekends date nights.

The food is unique and delicious. It’s our very favorite place to eat for the appetizers, pizzas, main entrees, paella, and the best desserts. The wine list is all we could want.

I had a delicious watermelon salad and I want to go back for another one. It's the best one I ever had. The place was quiet and comfortable. I recommend stopping by and giving Acu Bistro a try.
