                              Aceq Restaurant, nestled in Arroyo Seco, offers a "wonderful dining experience" with its adventurous, globally-influenced menu. Praised for "excellent food" and "attentive service," the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. Highlights include the ribeye steak and duck confit.

                                Chef Gabe outdid himself tonight. The special, a pork chop in a parsnip puree and blueberry demi glaze served with brussell sprouts, was divine.

                                Great food. Enthusiastic and accommodating staff. Better try for reservations as it’s sometimes pretty hard to get in especially during ski season…..

                                Food was very good and service was great. I was Expecting amazing food experience based on past experience with this chef. Don't get me wrong food was solid I was just expecting more. Especially when you put on your menu Vegan option available for dish that the sauce that accompanies such dish would be vegan. Pretty simple get a jar of Vegan Mayo. The bread was offered plain, no olive oil & basaltic drizzle. Felt like maybe back of house was a bit off this night. I will surely try them again and would recommend folks give them try and let us know if things are up to snuff so to speak. PS once again coming from a place of complete food snobbery which this chef is known to exceed!

                                Our favorite neighborhood restaurant. I call it "an annex to our kitchen." The menu has changed for colder weather. And we love the offerings.

                                Service was seamless, loved the basic menu, not a confusing array of choices, yet all that was needed. Simplicity with quality works every time. The acoustics were quite live, which can get loud, but this also creates excitement. We'll definitely be back.
