Got in on a Friday evening. Lucked out and were seated right away. Loved the atmosphere and drink selection. I had the fried chicken and it was amazing. Not what I expected but I’ve been craving it since I had it. I just wish I didn’t eat as much at lunch so I could have had some soup. The pumpkin... More

Ate here a little over a week ago with some friends and was a little disappointed with the food. While I love the concept of farm to table, and their great set up with the big garage doors, there was just something lacking in all of our meals - except one. My husband had the ribs, which were very flavorful... More

Food was so good and fresh. They grow most of it on local farm they own and they also own landscape/nursery next door. The food was casual and almost rustic so reminded me of southern food.

I have eaten here two times. The service is most excellent. Our server knew everything about the food in such grave detail; it was fascinating. Revolving menu to account for in season items. Atmosphere ... very small and quaint. This is not a large establishment. Expect to wait even with a reservation and prepare to stay for a while. The... More

This restaurant has a great menu that changes seasonally to allow for the freshest ingredients. The offerings are not your run-of-the-mill american food. They like to mix things up, like the beet hummus which is fantastic. The restaurant is in a converted garage and the feel is funky and intimate because of the size which is fairly small. The art...

After a failed trip to the indoor farmers market, we stopped by Wise Acre because we had a toddler who couldn't be in the car for 5 minutes without eating. Best surprise ever. The breakfast was outstanding - poached eggs with some of the most beautiful yolks ever, amazing Carmelized Brussels sprouts, and spicy sausage that was out of the... More

Love Wise Acre for breakfast. Veggie hash is my dish of choice. Not a finely chopped dish it is chunky, tasty and flavorful. Best cottage bacon (not fatty) ever, aioli is a great accompaniment to the dish. The marmalades/jams are fresh and are made with interesting combinations of ingredients. Love being able to have a mimosa if I am so... More

We ate lunch there yesterday and it was excellent. The beet borscht soup was delicious. The hamburger with brie and bacon I had was really flavorful and filling but not too large. The Autumn Salad was fabulous mixture with wild rice, chicken, roasted squash, beets, bacon steak and pickled egg over greens with a light dressing. Fun decor from converted... More

If you love a good salad of the non-vegetarian variety, this is your place. I've been here many times and you cannot go wrong with their Shades of Autumn salad (the name, BTW, preceeded "50 Shades of Gray"). They change this salad up for the various seasons (Shades of Summer and so on. All are crave-worthy. A lovely mix of... More
