We had a great experience at Acova this evening. First off, I was very impressed with their reservation system. I initially made the res. Online for early this evening but due to a change in plans had to push it back. I called the restaurant knowing it wasn't open yet and that it might not get answered. I left a voicemail requesting the new res. time. I assumed I would need to call again later in the day to confirm the change but within 3 minutes I received a confirmation email with the res. change (still before the restaurant was even open for the day). Our server was amazing! We brought our two young kids and she was very engaging and accommodating (getting kids food in first, split plates, etc.) She had great menu knowledge and didn't steer us wrong with recommendations. Food was delicious, cocktails were amazing! We'll definitely be back! Menu recommendations: spicy mezcal margarita, beef short rib risotto, crab cakes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
