Currently my favorite restaurant in Little Rock. I've never had a so-so experience at Acadia. Always top-notch.
Everything from salads, seafood, chicken and beef is prepared very well with attentive service. Acadia has a nice wine list and occasionally has a sommelier on staff to make recommendations and pairings.
Portion sizes are perfect. Don't go expecting a huge gut bomb. The emphasis is on quality not quantity.
Get it back on your rotation for date night or a nice mid-priced lunch. -

Pretty disappointing after having read other reviews on this site and hearing recommendations from friends.
Three of us went on a saturday night and it just didn't impress. We each ordered a glass of wine and the waiter seemed pretty unknowledgeable when we asked questions about it.
I got a scallop dish that was very average. The sauce on the scallops was very rich - but that doesn't necessarily mean good. The salmon was also ordered which was cooked well, but the barbeque style sauce that came on it did not compliment the fish well at all.
The macaroni and cheese entree was also ordered, and although I didn't try it, I was told it was very good.
Not bad, but definitely not worth the price. When there are many expensive fine dining restaurants, it really isn't worth the effort or the price. -

Just had lunch here.
I sat on the beautiful patio overlooking Kavanaugh. The weather is perfect right now for outdoor dining.
I had the spinach salad with a creamy thyme dressing with feta cheese, kalamata olives, diced tomatoes and warm pita bread wedges. It was perfect.
My friend had the blackened bbq shrimp, which were huge, and he loved them. I tried some of the cheese grits that came with it and it was fabulous.
I'll need to come back and check it out for dinner. It looks like a great place for a romantic dinner on the deck. -

Ate here one evening while driving from Austin, TX to Ashburn, VA.
I tried fried green tomatoes for the first time and they were quite yummy. The service was competent, outdoor seating was enjoyable and the wine like a liquid steak, making for a winning combination in my book.
I would certainly come back next time I drive through (who knows when that will be). -

I've been here twice and had a much better experience the second time around.
Mondays and Tuesdays are their special promotional days. It's $23.50 (+ tax and tip) for a three course meal consisting of soup, salad, entree, and choice of dessert if you skip out on either appetizer. To make it easy, I just order the most expensive regular priced thing in the menu, maximizing the the amount I'll save, since I'll be paying a fixed amount anyway. Blame it on the cheapskate inside of me...my mother taught me well.
Food is decent, but being a higher end restaurant and all, portions are kinda lonely. I wonder why restaurants like this don't get use smaller plates? Though very delicious, my tuna appetizer surely looked tiny. The roasted duck I had was rarer than I'm used to, so I can't really say I liked it...but it came with a good side of grits. The desserts were small but extremely rich, so I was satisfied overall.
I can't say it's my favorite restaurant, but it's somewhere I'd go to treat myself. I think I need to give it one more try before I can totally make up my mind about this place.
P.S. They got a really really nice patio. -

A little gem! Fine cuisine, really cute patio, nice wines.
After dinner make sure you take a stroll through the neighborhood (Hillcrest). It's seriously beautiful. -

Wonderful for outdoor dining. I went on a Monday night so it was nice and quiet, not crowded. Also, they do a very reasonable prix fixe early in the week with selections from the full menu. (I loved this because I'm a vegetarian and don't get to benefit from prix fixe very often because the entrees are ALWAYS meat.)

A highlight in Little Rock. Early in the week they have a very reasonable menu with a set fee that alows you to experience multiple courses while not "breaking the bank."

I dined at Acadia with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We opted for the Fixed Price Menu available on Monday and Tuesday nights and were very pleased with the results. I started with the Fried Green Tomatoes accompanied by fresh mozzarella and a basil chiffonade with pancetta. The starter was delicious and paired aromatic basil with the tender crunch of Fried Green Tomatoes. For my main course I enjoyed the Pan-Fried Corn-crusted Walleye with Orzo Pasta. The richness of the orzo and the gentle flakiness of the walleye was perfectly complimented by the herbed butter melted over top of the fish. For dessert I selected a peach berry cobbler ala mode. The fruit cobbler had a delightful smokiness I haven't previously experienced in fruit desserts. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the service. The atmosphere was dark and relaxing.
I will definitely be returning! -

I love to dine here - the menu offers some funky fare and they always have specials: monday and tuesday prix fixe, wednesday wine etc. The patio is however the best part about the restaurant especially when the weather is as idyllic as Arkansas in the spring.

I'm from the West Coast and I'm visiting Little Rock. For decor, menu, service and quality, this restaurant is up to big city standards. The staff knows their job and everything we ordered was delicious and properly prepared.
If you're in Little Rock on business or pleasure, this should be on your top 5 list. It doesn't hurt that it's on Little Rock's most walkable street/strip. -

New lunch menu is terrific. Dined with two other women and each meal was superb. Can't wait to go back. Special shout-out to the catfish served over cheese grits with sauteed veggies. Delicious.

Still one of my favorites! Always reminds me of small out-of-the-way somewhat upscale yet unpretentious spots in New York or Los Angeles, known primarily by locals. Excellent menu and wine selection, knowledgeable staff. Multi-level dining on the deck(s) weather permitting. Always memorable.

It's pleasant eating outside and some of the dishes are excellent but take care ordering. Stay away from the one advertised as having portobellos and pasta--it resembled macaroni and cheese out of a box with a couple of slices of mushrooms on the top. There are no veggie dishes, and the food is too salty. However, the fish and chicken are nice and tender and they give you respectable portions. Good service, nice atmosphere.
