Acres Bistro

We decided to stop in for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon after doing a whiskey tasting across the street at Kennay Farms Distillery. The entrance is a little hard to find as you have to walk thru a small boutique store to enter the restaurant. Fortunately for us,a nice lady who worked in the store came out and took us to the restaurant. I believe they are all owned by the same person We were lucky enough to get a table on their ekevated patio that overlook the alley garden. Alyssa was our server and was super helpful and friendly. My wife started with their Lemon Lavender Gin Spritz which was one of the many crafted cocktails they offer. I had a nice white wine blend that was suggested off their extensive wine list. We shared the Bruschetta Burrata with toast on the side as my w

My husband and I discovered Acres Bistro in early 2023 and it has become our favorite restaurant, well worth the 30 minute drive one-way. We’ve even twice had lunch and dinner on back to back days - the food, service and environment are simply that good. If you’re traveling on I-88 or I-39 near Rochelle, Acres Bistro is well worth the short drive from the interstate. You won’t find a fresher more delicious meal for miles around. I’m always on the lookout for salmon and theirs is excellent. My favorites are the Spring Salad with salmon (the waiter suggested the lemon vinaigrette dressing and it was perfect!) as well as the Honey Spiced Salmon entree (another recommendation from the knowledgeable staff). My husband is a fried chicken fanatic and loves their Wednesday night special that incl

A small town hidden gem! We made a reservation for Acres Bistro on a Saturday night, but it probably wasn't necessary. Our table was ready when we arrived. Our waiter offered us beverage menus and we ordered craft cocktails. The menu features small plates, soups & salads, large plates served with soup or salad and "handhelds", sandwiches/wraps served with fries. We started with a shareable, Italian Whipped Goat Cheese with bruschetta, balsamic glaze and toast points. It was very good! Hubby had the creamy cajun pasta with grilled chicken and I had the citrus baked halibut. Both prepared very well and were delicious. Our friends had sandwiches which were large enough to take half home. Great food, great service, great ambiance! And check out the bar downstairs!

This is a go to place for friends that live in the Chicago area and I who live in Moline. This is a halfway point that has become our favorite as the food is outstanding. The menu changes based on the seasons, and we have never been disappointed. There is something for all appetites and the atmosphere is so nice. Was very attentive and wanted to make sure that our dining experience was exceptional.

The staff, experience and food were all excellent. The pumpkin spiced old fashioned was unique and quite good. We will definitely be back. Everyone there couldn't be nicer. Their gluten free menu was robust.
