    NYE dinner here was a fantastic choice. They had a specialty menu and everything was amazing. The service here is outstanding — they go above and beyond every time. Thank you VA for another great meal.

    Fun place to have a drink and dinner. Just wish the food was a little better. The Pizza was doughy (under-cooked) , the burger and fries were one note taste. Very heavy and rich tasting. Almost as bad as overindulging in to much chocolate.

    Bryan, We’re so glad we are a fun place for dinner and drinks! We are sorry to hear that your expectations were not met with some of our menu items. This is certainly not the norm, and we are checking into all the variables to ensure that each menu item hits the mark for our guests. The Van Acre Team

    Excellent food and a nice little dining room to ourselves for a family holiday dinner. The small room made it much quieter. Fantastic service as well!

    Had a phenomenal experience in the igloo this evening with my family, including my two small boys. I had dined here in an igloo a few weeks ago with my girlfriends, and there were a few minor things that I shared with a previous review. Management reached out, and after learning I was dining with them again, went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. I can’t thank the team enough for providing an unforgettable little experience for me and my family this time around. As always, the food was fantastic and the service was phenomenal.

    Cassandra, Thank you for joining us again! We are delighted to hear you had such a wonderful experience with your family. Wishing you all very happy holidays! The Van Acre Team

    We have made it tradition to do an Igloo Experience at Van Acre ever since they started doing them! It is always a lovely experience. The food is wonderful and the drinks are top notch. I do, however, feel that it seems more rushed every year as they are trying to squeeze in as many parties as possible. I don’t feel that the experience is what it used to be. I would love the ability to add on extra time for an increased reservation cost. That would be well worth it!

    Emily, We’re so glad our Igloo Experience has been made into a tradition! We’re happy to hear the food and drinks were wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. The cadence of our igloo experience remains the same and has not changed to serve additional parties. Guests are always welcome to reserve back-to-back timeslots for an extended experience. We hope to serve you again soon! The Van Acre Team

    First time at Van Acre with my husband, it was a last minute date night and we were impressed. Ambience was good, nice customer service, a bit crowded the kind of person probably cause holiday season. I am but most important thing, we enjoyed our food. Will definitely go back
