   Whenever a "reservation" style restaurant opens in the exurbs, there are always high hopes - however they seldom meet expectations. Fortunately that is NOT the case with Silver Girl! To start, the completely renovated interior is so inviting. Its sharp and sophisticated with contemporary colors, accents and low lighting that sets the mood. The wide open, large bar/island in the center serves as a stage for the bartenders. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the show. The whole room exhudes warmth and calmness. I'm trying to remember the former Savory Lane shrine to Bruce Springsteen but alas there are no remanants whatsoever. The food is creative, tasty and well-prepared. The chef, Dawn (Eve) hails from Louisiana and there are many nods to their food tradition, although subtle. The popovers with compound butter and carmelized onion was a nice way to start the meal. I also got a single crostini ($3) with tasso and something zingy. So fresh, crispy and on-point. The duck cassoulet reminded me of the first time I ever had this dish in New Orleans at Broussard's. The duck was perfect!!! The cornmeal crust was consistently crispy and void of overly fatty skin. The beans were hearty and a perfect balance to the rich duck. An excellent dish, Cocktails and mocktails were complex and innovative. Service is well-above the usual exurbs level. This is a tight group of bartenders, servers and hosts that work hard but remain calm and warm. They are dialing it in. Off to a good start. Keep it up. "See how they shine."

   Nice addition to Acton . Cocktails and food were very good. Loved the popover. Service was only issue-waited a while for someone to take our order. Very slow to make our drinks. Wait person forgot multiple things we ordered/asked for, and she needed reminding. Not the best experience with our waitress.

   Cynthia, thank you so much for your honest feedback. We experienced some growing pains this weekend, both in service and in the kitchen, and I'm so very sorry that we made your night out less enjoyable than it should have been. I do hope that you'll give us another chance. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your next visit right. Sincerely, Dawn (Eve)

   I wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars! Acton really needs a place like this. My husband and I went for a date night for my birthday and it was absolutely exceptional. I’m a vegan and it’s rare to find a vegan option in the menu, let alone one with flavors and textures that are carefully thought out and crafted. We also don’t drink, and the mocktails were out of this world - also so hard to find those and we were so happy! The ambiance makes you feel like you are at an upscale place in the city, without the 45 min drive! It’s cozy, modern and clean.

   A great dining experience. We enjoyed every moment, from the beautifully crafted drinks, light starters, dinner (the duck was the winner for the night!), to the delicious panna cotta to end our meal. We are excited to have this local date night spot in town. Well done, ladies!

   The food here is perfection. We just had our second visit in as many weeks and it did not disappoint. It's also great that they have free and easy parking behind the restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful. The cocktails are creative and delicious! We will definitely be back!

   Our second visit was a good one. They are still very new so it’s expected that they would still be fine tuning the service and food. The fundamentals are there. Tonight our cocktails were very good. Just like our last visit. The crostini were as well. The smash burger wasn’t really smashed or charred so that was a bit disappointing. Servers are kind and friendly but are a bit disorganized sometimes. They’ve only been open a few weeks so this is all normal. Figure it will take some time to hit their stride but they have the right attitude, great style, solid cocktails and some really good food already. Really looking forward to them reaching their potential. It’s a great neighborhood spot that we enjoy already.

   Joseph, thanks for coming back in, and we really appreciate your feedback. Getting an un-smashed smashburger is honestly the worst, and I'm so sorry it happened. As we've gotten busier we're experiencing some growing pains, and are working hard to get both the kitchen and service up to our high standards. Thank you for your graciousness and patience while we get there. Sincerely, Dawn (Eve)

   Such a treat to try Silver Girl during its soft opening period, where there seemed to be no learning curve whatsoever. Service was attentive and courteous with frequent check-ins. We tried three cocktails between us and they were all excellent. Likewise, all three of the cicchetti starters were inventive and delicious. The polenta suga finto was pillowy inside and perfectly crispy outside. The posh pot pie had well integrated flavors and was generously portioned. The olive oil cake was guilt-free while the flourless chocolate pave was decadent. We're already planning our next visit and we're super excited that Acton finally has a restaurant worth talking about.
