Whitney: Date night again and we've decided that we must re-visit Acacia. The last time I went everything was just so lovely and the food is AMAZING! (Thank you Dale).
We ate (what felt like) everything. Let's begin with fried oysters, southern coleslaw, spicy mayo 9- these were each served in little sauce plates and each had its own bed of southern coleslaw and a small dollop of spicy mayo. I enjoyed seeing (and tasting) the spicy mayo outside of a Sushi joint.
Pictured above is the tuna ceviche peruvian style, with cucumbers, onions on avocado 9- (the avocado is amazing and I don't even like avocado) and as you can see it's really beautiful.

We also ordered the sauteed scallops, homemade gnocchi, spinach, parmesan sauce 24. This is phenomenal! For some reason gnocchi and scallops are just wonderful together. This dish is so wonderful, probably my favorite so far.
We were too stuffed by the time the sauteed rockfish, broccolini, and plantains made it to the table. But we gave it effort enough to know that the plantains combined with the salty rockfish and broccolini are divine.
In the past we have also tried the Duck Salad, The Calamari, Potato Scallops wrapped in Applewood Bacon, and the Crab Cakes.
The menu changes seasonally so you are always ready for more ACACIA Mid-Town.

The food is great; the mood is awesome (it's a very calm and contemporary feel right in the middle of down home Richmond). The bathrooms are pretty awesome too, simple and sophisticated and too difficult to figure out.
Acacia is a great place for a family meal, or a snack at the bar with friends. I love the huge brightly lit open kitchen, the enormous wine cooler and their private room is private enough but still central to the heart of the restaurant.
Overall: I highly recommend this place, I have for many years and probably always will. If you thought the old location couldn't get any better, then you thought wrong. This is nice. It's convenient location is between shops and entertainment and they offer Valet parking.
