The Thanksgiving to-go meal from Mago is an absolute delight. We have made a tradition of buying our Thanksgiving feast here and making our lives easier and more enjoyable. The food is fantastic: the turkey is moist and flavorful, the sides are excellent. What a fantastic experience each and every year.

Acre is an amazing restaurant. It’s a rare gem where the execution across the board is outstanding. It consistently delivers excellent food in a great atmosphere with top notch service.

Delicious food that was deeply flavored and surprisingly bright (sometimes soul food can seem super heavy and overwhelming). A perfect brunch spot. I’m eager to bring others and to try their dinner menu. Chef and staff were very pleasant and professional.
