Acacia Real Food & Cocktails is officially celebrating 10 years in Tucson. This isn’t a one day only party – owners Chef Albert Hall and Lila Yamishiro are inviting you to help celebrate for 10 days, from November 16 through November 26.

Over the next week, guests that are over 21 will receive complementary glasses of sparkling wine with the purchase of an entree in the dining room. Plus, daily anniversary specials will be featured.

If you aren’t sure about which entree to choose for your free glass of sparkling, new additions have been made to the lunch and dinner menus. Acacia has even brought back a few of their classic dishes for the celebration, including the Crab Louis Salad and Bronzed Scottish Salmon.
