位於Jefferson Park​的優質療癒美食餐廳

I don’t usually write reviews but our experience last night at Acova deserves more than the 5 stars I just gave it. Our party of 5 was high maintenance with 2 people having celiac disease and one young lady who has many serious food allergies, so much so that eating out is a rarity for her. Our server, whose name I’m sorry to say I can’t remember, went way above and being the call of duty talking note of the allergies, making several trips to the kitchen to double check things and even bringing out a big book with all of the ingredients for all of the menu items in it. The kitchen made a custom meal for our friend that met her needs. And on top of all of that the food was delicious. All five of us ate every bite. Thank you Acova and our wonderful server!

Very engaging servers. Pumpkin bisque is fantastic Other food was good. Basic chicken needs more flavor and crispiness (but, I'm a Kentucky Fried extra crispy fan, so, there's the comparison). Food took a little long, but, i really like that it's casual but has a really good vibe. Warmth and friendliness.

A wonderful experience. This 3rd concept by Johnny Curiel was worth the wait. Most of the menu has fish and various ways it was prepared. A nice mix of cocktails and wine plus an extensive list of tequilas and mezcal. I had the Toro Tostada, with large pieces of dry aged Toro (tuna aged on site) sitting on smashed avocado & a crisp tortilla. My entree was a grilled Baja striped bass served on a bed of black beans cassolet and mole verde. A great blend of firm flaky fish and mole. I tried their white Negroni and a creative take on a Pina Colada.

Why have I never been here before? A well-made cocktail, fun, warm environment without being obnoxiously loud, good food at a fair price, something on the menu for everyone. Also, our server took the time right away to ask about food allergies -- much appreciated. I will be coming back.

First time, did not disappoint. Excellent food. Get on the waitlist as you are heading there. We will be back, again and again.
