Acacia Real Food & Cocktails To Close Permanently In Mid-May

Acacia Real Food & Cocktails To Close Permanently In Mid-May

Feb 24, 20161 min read

Chef Albert Hall has announced plans to close Acacia Real Food & Cocktails.

From the press release:

After 11 successful years in business, Chef Albert Hall and his wife (and co-owner) Lila Yamashiro have announced to their staff that they will close their award winning restaurant Acacia Real Food & Cocktails in mid-May. Until then, they invite everyone to enjoy their signature style cuisine and outstanding service that has made this iconic Tucson restaurant a long time favorite. Over the years, Acacia has received many awards including numerous Tucson Lifestyle Culinary Awards as well as the prestigious AAA Four Diamond award.

“It has been our great pleasure to have served the Tucson community since 2004”, said Chef Hall. “In the years since, we have been blessed by the many extraordinary friends and acquaintances who have enjoyed countless meals and good times at Acacia.  We hope that everyone will stop by and enjoy their Acacia favorites over the next few months.  We will hold a grand finale event on Sunday, May 15th.”

The Acacia family has always given generously of their time and talents to countless culinary charity events and auctions in the community. Albert and Lila look forward to continuing this tradition on a personal level.

Acacia gift cards will be accepted at the restaurant thru May 8, 2016.  Information on the final celebration will be available on the acacia website in March.

Further information will be available soon on the Acacia website at www.acaciatucson.com.

Our best wishes are with Chef Hall and his future plans.
