    Overall, the service was amazing, but the food was just okay. The smoked appetizer (salmon dip) was recommended; however, we found it to be too overpowering with its smoked flavor. For this place being one of the higher-end places in Wausau, the pizza was the star, not the main dishes.

    Danielle, Providing the highest level of satisfaction is always our primary goal, and we apologize for falling short of meeting your expectations. We’d love the opportunity to serve you again and provide a wonderful experience. We wish you a joyful holiday season ahead! The Van Acre Team

    Our reservation, my husband and I, was for my birthday. Jorden was our top notch server. From greeting us to explaining how things worked, she was patient and personable. When my husband spotted a really appealing table, Jorden checked to see if it was available, finding it was, enabling me to see my husband’s expression of joy. Seeing that smile, I knew the evening would exceed my expectations. Our wine selections, the Cig Zin and the Walla Walla Merlot paired beautifully with the Farm Pizza and half servings of the French onion soup and Caesar respectively. The vibe of the restaurant was very upbeat and energetic noted in observations of the entire staff. Just before the meal ended, Jorden presented us with a dessert menu to select a complimentary dessert. The chocolate cheesecake did not disappoint. Our first visit to Tap Acre will forever produce a smile when recalling my birthday dinner. Thank you to Jorden et al for an everlasting memory.

    Shirley, Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us! We're so glad to hear that Jorden made such a positive impact on your visit, and you enjoyed everything along the way. We hope to serve you again soon! The Van Acre Team

    We visited for the first time this week to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. This is a very nice restaurant with a big city feel. Our server was professional but still outgoing. Time for food to table after ordering was good for formal dining. The filet I ordered was prepared as requested and a butter knife had no trouble cutting through it. Pricing was in line for a dining experience like this. With drinks, appetizers, meal, desert, and tip we spent $80/person. I highly recommend.
