Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain.

Acre never disappoints. This was no exception. There was a delay in the kitchen and food was taking longer than usual to come out. We barely noticed because we were with old friends catching up. But the manager came out and apologized and brought us a free appetizer and comped another round of drinks, so we were all good!

We discovered the beautiful back patio. Even though it was raining, it was warm and comfortable. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the food was spectacular as ever. Can’t wait to return.

The food, service and experience was simply excellent from start to finish. We had such a lovely time on Xmas eve. The crab pasta was fantastic as was the pork chop. Our dessert (the flour-less chocolate cake) was the perfect culmination of tastes. There is a reason that this restaurant continues to impress year after year.

Reve is such a local gem. Excellent service, prompt and efficient. They nailed the moules frites and and scallop risotto. Very easy to make pretty good, it takes skill to make it sublime. A round of clicks for the chef!
