Quarter Acre

If you don't want to read any further, just book now and go!Quarter Acre is a quaint little place that is super well done inside. They have a nice bar, cozy seating, and a few New Zealand inspired elements from the chef. The service is otherworldly! Literally the best service I've had since going to Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas which is a $600+ per person endeavor.The food follows suit. Fish on chip? Small but awesome. Sea Bass? Perfectly done. BBQ'd Cabbage? Get it!I wouldn't be someone who would ever order cabbage... the waiter said it was what I should get "if I ate here just once (since I'm from out of town)." And he wasn't wrong. It was unique but packed so many flavors into such a simple profile that I can't quite put into words what it effused. If I had any "meh" it was probably the crab eclair. I was intrigued and a bit excited, but didn't find this dish to really wow the senses like all the others did!Needless to say, Quarter Acre is a must visit! It's amazing, the chef and staff seem to be uber invested, the food is phenomenal, and honestly TRY THE BBQ'D CABBAGE!

My goal for the year is to eat at every restaurant that showed up on the Michelin list. I regularly eat at some of these, but I am on a mission to eat at all of them this year. Just as background, my son is a fine dining Chef and I am a foodie and have eaten at numerous high-end and Michelin restaurants in the US and Europe.Occasion: 60th birthday party for 5 people.Restaurant: We were pleasantly greeted as we entered and seated at the Chef's table with a view of the pass. The ambiance is extremely inviting and comfortable. One of the more welcoming restaurants I have been too.Drinks: All of our drinks were good and reasonably priced.Snacks: We ordered the Fry Bread and the Fish on Chip. Fry Bread was good, but everyone at the table really enjoyed the Fish on Chip.Appetizers: We had the Ceviche, Crab Eclair and Kindova Caesar. The Ceviche was of the highest quality and was good. We all really like the Crab Eclair and the Caesar was more memorable than most Caesar salads. Mains: We had the Seared Duck Breast, Sea Bass en Papillote and the Beef Striploin. All of the these were very good and would order any of them again. All of these were cooked perfectly, had great flavor and were extremely well presented. Service: This outstanding. Our server happened to be from our town and we struck up a conversation. While we were conversing the other staff helped our server. Service was prompt and attentive, but not stuffy. All entrees came to the table at the same and were placed in front of each of us at the same time. This is something you expect from this type of restaurant.Chef: Chef Toby came out to wish me a Happy Birthday and visited us which was a nice bonus.Overall: Our bill with tip was $500+ for the 5 of us. This was a great value for the quality of food and the experience we had. The food was great, service was exceptional and had a great time. I highly recommend going here and we will definitely return.

Loved this Lower Greenville Gem. Chef-owned restaurant serving New Zealand food with French technique. Every dish was artistic, intentional, and delicious. Highly recommend to all looking for unique flavors and a creative culinary experienceSnacks - beet tartlet, fish on chip, and fry bread (goat cheese and honey combo never fails). Would get all 3 againAppetizers - mushrooms were pretty solid but the crab eclair was a let downEntrees - got the truffle parmesan linguini which was the special of the night and decadent (but too small of a portion). The sea bass was flaky and tender and all the components of the dish were independently flavorful (especially loved the beans and mango pieces). Dessert - sticky date pudding was very rich and the sweetness was cut by the cardamom ice cream. The best part were the "lolly bag" desserts that we got on the house - both were delicious Next time would try the mussels and cauliflower agnolotti.Ambience and service were top notch! Could not have asked for better in this regard

We stopped in for Garden Hour last night due to the unseasonably good weather and had a lovely time. Their "Garden Hour" (aka Happy Hour) menu is amazing with $7 cocktails and an amazing array of appetizers. I highly recommend the Bee's Knees, a classic drink that they executed perfectly. The beef tartar, served smoked with umami sauces, was to die for and the snack board tasted as good as it looked. Our friends also ordered the mushroom appetizer and it was delicious. The service was outstanding, striking the difficult balance of fine dining (even for happy hour) and approachable. They were flexible as we walked in last minute and the meal was full of fun surprises like fresh bread and complimentary desserts. We look forward to returning for dinner.

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. Definitely exceed ALL of my expectations and more. The staff was the friendliest I've ever experienced and it was very clear they worked together as a team.The food was divine. The bread and homemade butter was a delightful start and then we got the fry bread bites which were a mix between fried goat cheese balls and a beignet.. AMAZING, we ordered more for dessert. We got the sea bass which was light and not too fishy, and it was cooked to perfection, flaky and flavorful. The truffle pasta special which was our favorite, not overpowered on truffle at all, crunchy, creamy and just perfect. It should definitely be a staple on their menu. At they end they have us these dessert treats which were out of this world. A mint marshmallow that melted in your mouth, and melted is an understatement! They also gave this crunchy gingerbread cracker/cookie that was so tasty. The interior is classy but doesn't feel like it's trying too hard and the restaurant isn't too loud at all. This was one of the best meals I've ever had and I can now see why they were mentioned by Michelin!

Breezy Sophisticated Atmosphere. Cheerful Impeccable Service. Intoxicating Creative Seasonal Menu. Savoring Chef Toby Archibald's Summer of '24 Delights of "Crab Eclair"; "Hot-Smoked Glory Bay Salmon"; and, "Campfire S'mores". I Love It Here!CHEERS!

I believe Quarter Acre is a pretty new restaurant. However, the staff and chef don't act like newbies and were on top of their game the whole night! We went on a Tuesday night and it was not crowded at all. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable and helped us pick out a wide variety of food. Our food was incredible. The pork belly was delicious. I ordered another after my entree because it was so good. The pasta was a little too smoky for me but tasted good nonetheless. The lamb was amazing and my friend said his steak was possibly the best he's had. I gave my girlfriend some of my pasta to try and she ate almost all of it! The dessert was good as well! The sourdough ice cream is interesting and the s'mores cake is wonderful. I would come back here again!

Food service and ambiance all solid. High dollar meal and experience for the special occasion. Everything tracked as advertised and appetizers, snacks, and entrees were exceptional.

What an incredible find. The seating is a bit awkward but the food more than makes up for it and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The meal comes with a hefty price tag but the taste and service make it well worth it as long as you're ok eating 12 inches from a stranger.

I had been wanting to try Quarter Acre since it opened, and I finally got the chance over Thanksgiving weekend. The occasion was actually a birthday dinner for an old friend, and we had a lovely time.We began dinner with cocktails. I don't remember what my friend ordered, but I had the Cook Straight Sour, which consists of vodka, grapefruit, and peppercorn. Cocktails are tricky for me because I hate syrupy drinks, and most cocktails are too sweet. But this one was perfect.Our server brought us complimentary sourdough bread and New Zealand butter early on. It was tasty, but I think it would have been better if the butter were salted. For appetizers, we shared the fried squid, the Caesar salad, and the ceviche. Everything was good, but the standout was the ceviche--I've never seen or tasted ceviche like this. The outside was a coconut-lime "foam" (for lack of a better term), and the inside was where the fish was. I was impressed with the inventive presentation of a normally predictable dish, and the flavors were well balanced.For entrees, my friend had the Sunchoke tortellini, and I had the hot-smoked Glory Bay Salmon. My salmon was good, but I tasted my friend's tortellini, and I would totally recommend it to pasta lovers. The pasta tasted fresh and had a wonderful smoky flavor. The prosciutto was also a perfect addition to the dish.For dessert, we shared the matcha cheesecake with pear sorbet, which was perfect for someone like me, who doesn't like overly sweet desserts. It was delicious and the type of clean, refreshing dessert one might find at a fancy Asian-esque restaurant.Finally, our servers were friendly, attentive, and seemed very knowledgeable about the menu. One observation though--they checked on us repeatedly, and my friend commented that it felt like they were trying to get us out of there. It didn't bother me, so maybe it's a personal thing.All in all, I really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service. I look forward to coming back.
