The Reader‘s review of Acre last week became obsolete almost immediately. The seasonally oriented Andersonville spot, which shares chef Carlos Ysaguirre with neighboring Anteprima, originally offered separate menus for the tavern side and the dining room, though you could order from either wherever you sat. That was one too many menus to please critic Mike Sula, who experienced some misses alongside the hits. But just after the Reader went to press, the restaurant tweeted: “After much debate, Acre is moving to a single dinner menu next week.” It debuted Tuesday, offering a blend of the two lists—the burger with house-made mustard from the pub menu, the changing risotto from the other side—holding on to dishes like the bone marrow and the house-cured salmon salad, and adding some new items such as rabbit confit. Co-owner Marty Fosse says the original tavern menu will still be available at lunch from Monday to Friday.

As for her future plans, Zarzour told Sula, “I would like to make erotic films. I would like to master flamenco dance. I would like to climb mountains. I would like to learn further about pastry in, you know, I would like to go to the greatest restaurants in the world and learn at the hand of their pastry chefs. I mean, I would like to do a lot of things.”
