Or try the Acadia burger- 1/2 # with Chistou cheese, onion bacon jam, dijonaise and butter pickles. Bagaduce River oysters- migonette, lemon and sriracha. And the real deal Maine lobster roll. Buns smuggled in from Maine. 2/3 of a lobster, buttered bun, paprika, salt and vinegar chips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-71786718531227087182011-12-29T11:42:36.969-06:002011-12-29T11:42:36.969-06:00Here is an article about the BAR area at Acadia......Here is an article about the BAR area at Acadia... http://www.redeyechicago.com/entertainment/restaurants-bars/redeye-acadia-in-south-loop-20111229,0,1233502.storyAllennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-83469405850954331952011-12-28T11:00:59.087-06:002011-12-28T11:00:59.087-06:00Has anyone eaten at the bar area?Has anyone eaten at the bar area?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-65562623542903744682011-12-28T10:04:03.279-06:002011-12-28T10:04:03.279-06:00I also ate there Wednesday night.

Regarding an earlier post, the bill for an average amount of food/drink for two added up to $115 before tax and tip. So it's not an every day stop, but a great choice for any special occasion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-69070447619168277542011-12-23T08:11:02.169-06:002011-12-23T08:11:02.169-06:00Anyone go last night?

I know that number sounds random but a place reaches a price point where it is tough to go their more than a few times. I also think that many of us will go to different hoods for a change of pace to eat in that price point. Really hope the bar menu is approachable and really hope the place does well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-22568416850538112082011-12-21T15:22:09.508-06:002011-12-21T15:22:09.508-06:00Very excited, place looks great!Very excited, place looks great!Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-71902685666116198722011-12-21T14:03:04.223-06:002011-12-21T14:03:04.223-06:00Rome wasn't built in a day and I think this wi...Rome wasn't built in a day and I think this will be a great addition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-82641162589924998352011-12-21T13:40:30.860-06:002011-12-21T13:40:30.860-06:00A good way to check the place out is to go in and ...A good way to check the place out is to go in and have at least a drink if you are not ready to go eat there before the New Years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-59608446460692531872011-12-21T12:58:31.148-06:002011-12-21T12:58:31.148-06:00Looking forward to trying out Acadia very soon.

Those words all describe the commercial state of that stretch of the sloop. Go to the Metromix' "countdown" section and compare all the other restaurants on that list to this one. Acadia is the ONLY spot on that list that does not have one single other restaurant near it within a city block in all directions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-26324016522289856522011-12-21T11:08:33.477-06:002011-12-21T11:08:33.477-06:00looks gorgeous inside!looks gorgeous inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-66428538837208229172011-12-21T09:04:54.341-06:002011-12-21T09:04:54.341-06:00I suspect they mean vacated by other restaurants -...I suspect they mean vacated by other restaurants - which that stretch of Wabash certainly is.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254214148071025120noreply@blogger.com
