5 for the steak, consistency was just right,not too chewy. I just wish there was a little bit more done on the presentation. Aesthetics for the price you pay does add to its value. To add, the staff could be tad bit more friendlier. Smile when you enter and smile when you go.
We got the Steak and Marrow, excited to have that big piece of “easy-access” bone marrow. Haha Sadly, there was hardly any. We only got a pea-sized amount of it. Rating the restaurant 4 stars still because the steak that came with it was great. The chicken tartufo is also worth trying if you’re into creamy and rich dishes.
Love the forest like ambience. Amazing and sumptuous flat iron steak! Truly a gem in the heart of Cebu! You get what you paid for!
If you want to taste legit stake, Acacia is the place. We ordered 3 different steaks: Rosemary (regularly cooked) with mashed potato as side dish, Ostrich (well done) with garlic rice and Pepper Steak (medium well) with fries.
All is good but needs a little improvement on their staff. They don't smile and they were on their phones when we were supposed to order drinks, one staff was even watching Kadenang Ginto lol.
Dined here for Post Valentine and all I could say is that the steak itself is A PARTY IN MY MOUTH. Never have I appreciated food so much as I have for the steak they serve. Totally worth it. There was just a downside - we ate outside and there were a ton of mosquitos biting us. Thats when I know the food was good cause it didn’t bother me (hehe)
The ambiance is really nice. Good for special occasions and celebration.
We came here to celebrate my sisters graduation. Since we were a big group they gave us the VIP room which is like the only room or function room that accomodate up to 10 people.
The food tastes really good though the serving is quite small.
Reservations are a need.
Food is good and affordable. Cozy ambience. Service is good. Overall, this restaurant is good for intimate meals with loved ones. Location, however, might be a slight concern for some. Nevertheless, it’s a 👍🏼 for me!

Service - crew was attentive and alert.
Food - delish but the steak was a little bit chewy.
Ambience - very chill place nice place for a date.
PS will surely need to have a car or take a cab going here.
They have a really nice well decorated place and the ambiance is really good for dates or special occassions. Their steak is delicious but somehow taste like other restaurants' steaks.
My Go to Steak house. Not easily accessible but its worth it. I always order the black pepper steak paired with red wine, mizo glazed salmon and the prawn gambas - this is my usual combo. Tried the flat iron steak , didnt really like it as much. Maybe i would've loved the Australian Grass Fed ribeye but the AC was blasting in the upstairs dinning area so it got instantly cold. Its hard to get the waiter's attention when there arent too many people eating outisde so I recommend eating inside.
I love this place! The food was good and with reasonable prices. The ambience felt very cozy and relaxed. It wasn't crowded. The service was pleasant. Waiters were courteous attentive. The steaks we ordered were medium rare which were done as we wanted.
AFFORDABLE STEAK IN CEBU FOR DATE NIGHTS AND GATHERINGS!
I think this is the most affordable strakhouse that I’ve been to.
Taste ⭐️⭐️
Location ⭐️
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The place is pretty secluded you gotta use waze if you’re not used to the area. It’s a decent steak, you get what you’re paying for.

We went here during lunch time. It was peaceful and quite. I love the ambiance of the place. The service was great. The steak was also delicious. The price is reasonable though the menu on this app is not updated. Black Pepper steak cost Php 450 ++ . But I'll be back here.
Went there for our monthly dinner splurge. The place was great with earthly tones for a great ambiance, I got flat iron steak medium welldone and butcher steak welldone. Their steaks are really perfect, they even nail the temperature, with their sauce it’s perfect for the steak. For our sides we got mashed potatoes and rice. The potatoes was also delicious. We also had a mushroom soup which was very creamy and mild but still delicious. Our dessert was molten lava cake. Which is the reason why i gave them 4 stars. The reason is they forgot to serve it and its almost 30 minutes of waiting. When we had it there was no molten lava cakes signature gooey mess and its flat with vanilla ice cream.

1.Location-secluded but you can reach it by cab/private car.
2.Ambience-Place is spacious, has ample parking. It has an al fresco, and a full dining area inside. Ambience is earthy.
3.Service-is excellent, fast. Staff were Attentive. We were seated immediately.
4.Food-i ordered Mushroom soup and Pumpkin soup. The soups were fine but not that great. Pumpkin soup was bland. Australian Grass Fed RibEye with medium doneness, Osso Buco, Molten Lava Cake, a glass of Fat Bastard Cabernet Sauvignon for the wine, and a banana shake. Steak was done correctly to my preference. They did "medium" correctly! (Refer pictures), steak was well seasoned and delicious. I rate it 8/10. Osso Buco was soft and good but it needs more "fats". Fats give flavor. Please add more fats or a small beef marrow in your Osso Buco cause it would be perfect. Lastly, the Molten Lava cake, im not sure about this cause there is no "CAKE" in their molten lava cake. Check out the picture. The cake is nowhere to be found LOL! Only the lava, and the ice cream is available. The staff told me that this comes from the supplier and they dont make their own molten lava cake. BUT it taste very good. Very creamy and scrumptious.
I will definitely be back! This is a good steakhouse!

Acacia Steakhouse is located in a quiet neighbourhood so even though I’ve been wanting to try it for months now, it’s only during my latest visit to Cebu that I was able to do so... and I wasn’t disappointed!
Of course, we ordered their steak. We got their Australian Grassfed Ribeye (350 g) and had it well-done. Even though it was cooked to well-done the steak meat was still tender and juicy. The accompanying gravy was also yummy. We also had their black pepper steak. The meat was also great! Although honestly I prefer their black pepper gravy compared to gravy that came with their ribeye.
We got their salisbury steak too. Nope, this one was just normal tasting and not really a to-order. Better skip this if you plan on eating here.
Bolognese pasta (not pictured because lol forgot to take a photo) was really good. The tomato sauce was very flavorful. We also had their salad but for me all salads more or less taste the same so.. yep hahaa.
Each steak already comes with a side dish, either rice or mashed potatoes.
Wanted to try their steak and marrow but it was unavailable during our visit.
Ambiance was really nice! Service was good too. Ample parking space if you plan to bring your car.
Rating this based on their pepper steak and ribeye (sans salisbury because it was the only dish that didn’t meet our expectations!), this place really is worth going to. It is a bit pricey, but you do get what you paid for. 😁
Went to Acacia Steakhouse for a spacial date and ordered their Butcher's Steak, Seafood Pesto Linguine and Steak and Marrow. Just the thought of their Steak and Marrow makes me salivate because it was really good. Overall, their steaks are cooked as we pleased (opted for medium well) and I was satisfied to the core. Their pesto pasta was also top notch. I can't think of any negative review based on what we ordered because we were really happy with our dinner date. The ambiance is also commendable. We opted to stay in their al freso area (which was not bad at all) because the airconditioned room was full. I suggest you get a reservation prior to your visit if you want to dine inside the main restaurant. I am already looking forward to returning and try their other steak dishes. Two thumbs up!

The place has a really great ambiance and a very romantic setting. It’s a very good place for a date or a family Sunday meal. The staff are very quick and very attentive to your needs. They refill your water when they see that your glass is almost empty even without you asking .
The food was really good. We had the standard steaks like the flat iron steak, steak and marrow and we also had salisbury steak. the steak and marrow was amazing very tender. And it’s not that pricey and very worth the money.
I absolutely loved the place! The only little downfall for me is that it isn’t very accessible. You need to have a car to he able to get there or at least ride a cab. But other than that everything from the setting to the service and food was absolutely amazing👍🏻
As a first timer in this place, I was pretty impressed with the ambiance. The place looks like it was a garage turned into an average sized restaurant. With not much fancy decoration, just twigs, leaves and lights, it has achieved a romantic ambiance. Food is great too with a reasonable price. I would definitely come back to this place!
Beautiful and magical place for dinner. Gorgeous hidden gem around capitol site.
Very cozy.
Very pleasant crews.
Reasonable price.
And will always have a special place in my heart.
I wasn't able to take pictures because the steak was too good. Service is commended. The chicken fingers were 👌🏼. The waiters were fri ndly and attentive too.
Was here for Valentine’s Day.
FOOD: good food, good price. They have a variety of food to choose from. Steaks range from 400-1000. Other meals are 200-300ish.
SERVICE: 🙌🏻
AMBIANCE: I expected it to be crowdy but it was cozy enough
Will defly be back ❤️
Best gambas and is a must try dish! Their staff are well trained, knows the menu, and are great in providing customer service. Steaks are worthy of the price and you pay for its value. Make sure you visit earlier than opening time as they get crowded so quickly especially during lunch time. Kudos team Acacia! Keep it up!
Fine Dining * You would not regret going to this Steakhouse. Had a very sumptuous dinner with my friends. Medium Rare cooked and very efficient even if the order was in bulk. Lots of varieties of them steaks!
Tonight I have been dragged out by my mom's friends for steak. Seeking for one of Cebu's Hidden Gems near Capitol lies Acacia Steakhouse. The ambience of the place is very welcoming and quite romantic if you wanna go on dates or simply want to pig out. I love their playlist, kuddos for the soft jazz. As for the food for appetizers we ordered the French Onion Soup and the Pumpkin Soup, the FOS was da bomb; for the steaks we ordered the Flat Iron Steak (medium rare, I recommend if you are open-minded and of course love good steak*), Black Pepper Steak and the Marrow, with the lovely sides of mashed potatoes. The Flat Iron Steak needed a little bit of seasoning and their service, although is nice is quite a bit slow because there's only a few of the staff. Overall the night went well and my belly was satisfied.
Bang for the buck! 💥 Restaurant, food, staff and ambience are great 👍🏻 though the location is not quite accessible but it’s all worth it! ☺️
Love their prime rib-eye! 😍😍😍 their prawn gambas is also a 👍👍👍 & their flat iron steak is also yummy!!! Ambience is so nice, place is also away frm the busy metropolis. prawn gambas is vry yummy 😍😍😍
Finally steak cooked the right way. Place is nice and cozy. Staff are friendly and accomodating. I really dont care about the price so long as the food is cooked the right way. Ive been married to a chef for 10 years. I know my food.
I've been to different steak places here in Cebu and so far this has been the best one. I love the homey ambiance of the place, not very posh-ish. Food is also at the top of their game. I've tried their Prime and cab rib eye, both were cooked medium and it just melts in your mouth. If you want a cheaper option, try the Flat Iron and you won't be disappointed either! Aside from steak, that gambas and salmon are superb! Overall, I would highly recommend this place to meat lovers out there~

Finally! A restaurant thats just 50m from my place-- big plus since its a steakhouse! Haha i looove steak.. i don't cook but i've done a few experiments in the kitchen with a piece of ribeye or new york strip.. always medium rare of course! but when im with mom i have no hoice but to settle for a medium well-done 😑 huhu anyway, for tonight we ordered miso glazed salmon, chicken tartufo and cab ribeye :)
I must say- the miso glazed salmon is a must!! Its worth the P395 price tag and i would definitely be ordering this again the next time i come back! :) chicken tartufo was a bit overcooked (chicken was a little hard) but the black truffle cream sauce made up for it-- amazing! Ok, now for the steak-- we got a 500g cab ribeye cooked medium well-done. Being a steakhouse.. their steak did not disappoint! although im not so fond of having it cooked medium well-done.. the ribeye was still cooked to perfection as it was quite tender (compared when other restaurants do theirs), it was very juicy, seasoned well and priced reasonably at P1,450 (good for 2-3 people). Overall, i enjoyed our dinner again and would be back again soon.
Excellent eating experience! Been here twice already. This place is a hidden gem away from the hustle and busle of the city. Its elegance is perfect for a romantic date or intimate gatherings with friends. The steaks are so yummy yet affordable. Salpicao is my fave. Thou shall go back again and again.
Worth the trip. Good ambience. Ideal for romantic dates. They also have a variety of other dishes aside from steaks. Reasonable price for a good cut of steak. Steaks are seasoned well.
Service was good. Food was good. Very sulit 👌🏼. I liked everything except when the waiter told us that asahi is a korean beer when in fact it's japanese 😂

This place is my favorite steakhouse. The place is so homey yet elegant. The staffs really know what they are selling and helpful in what to order. The food is really, really good especially the Australian Grass-fed beef. So juicy and yummy. Best if you pair it with a glass of red wine. Just perfect! 😍
(Note: I didn't give a perfect score because for the past times we have been eating here, there is always a free salad for the steak but now, sadly there is none.)

Many might consider the remote location of this restaurant negatively. I don't. I actually liked that it is a restaurant a bit distant from commercialized centers and locations. It won't be any problem getting to this establishment now, considering the advent of GPS and transportation websites and applications.
There is some parking space inside the lot, although not that spacious. The property is surrounded by trees and some other greens, which gave the place some pleasant nature vibe into it. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating available. We went for a table outside.
We ordered two kinds of soup: pumpkin at Php 65 and mushroom at Php 195. I liked the mushroom better. Both of them came with toasted bread.
For the salad, we had their Greenvalley salad. The serving was a generous one at the price of Php 120. The lettuce especially, was of good quality. The dressing was just right.
For the main course, we had:
1.) Miso Glazed Salmon (Php 350) – I have always been a fan of this fatty fish. The Miso glaze even added more delight to its flavor. Pleasurable balance between salty, sweet, distinct salmon taste, and the contrast of textures from the glazed part and with what’s underneath it.
2.) Ribeye Salpicao (Php 540) – This could be the posh and heavier version of the Filipino salpicao, with ribeye cut into dices and sautéed accordingly. Subtly salty and sweet, with more characteristics of garlic in the dish. It was a bit oily but I didn’t really mind.
3.) Prime Ribeye Steak-Medium Rare, 350 grams (Php 1,670) – Just as I had expected from good reviews going around. It definitely didn’t disappoint. As a whole, it was notably tender and tasty (even when a bit cold over some time). I liked how this restaurant discourages requests for steak sauces and gravy, so as to “allow the natural flavor of the beef to speak for itself.”
With all the beef going on, it was a no-brainer to have some red wine. A wine with a decent amount of tannin and alcohol would be good from all the marbling with the ribeye cuts. I had a glass of their Pionero Cabernet Sauvignon at Php 175.
Lastly for the dessert, we had a Crème brûlée (Php 120). It was fairly priced at such a decent quality of the said dessert.
The servers were very attentive and accommodating, even for the fact that we were seated outside. They fill your water glasses almost instantly every time. The restroom and handwashing area were clean and well-organized.
With the rest of our orders plus a 5% service charge, everything costed us at Php 3, 760.71. It was a meal for 4 people.
Japanese Approval: 10 out of 10
*The menu reflected on this app looks different from the actual one in the restaurant.
If you want specifically & authentically-done steaks (rare to well done) then here's my bet for you. We came here late already and expected to have slow service since it's almost closing time, but we were treated really well. Food was served fast. Their drunken prawns were really good. I ate more of that than my steak. Over all, the experience was good; just prepare to cash out some bucks because they're not at all Cebuano-cheap.
I think the downside for the place is just the location. It was a challenging drive since it was raining when we went there but nonetheless was still worth it.
The steak is good and the fast service is superb! It is good for romantic dinner dates and family dinner too. The music adds to the good ambiance.

1. Location - ⭐⭐⭐
You need Google Maps and Waze to be able to find this restaurant. So if you want a little bit of privacy especially for a Dinner Date for 2, then this is the place. But if you just want to have a quick dinner, this ain't it.
2. Ambiance - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the best place to have a dinner date with your loved ones due to it's cozy ambiance. It's also a little bit exclusive with only a few tables.
3. Food - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My fiancé and I ordered Porterhouse Steak and Prawn Gambas. Food is superb. I personally loved the Prawn Gambas.
4. Service - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Waiters were very attentive to your needs and despite that we were dining in a fine dining restaurant in our casual wear, we did not feel being judged by our attires.
5. Price - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Price of food is fair in my opinion considering their service, food, ambiance and location. Its worth your bucks!
Went there for dinner. The ambiance captured my attention from the moment I stepped in the yard. The place has simple decors yet elegant. The music was just right to have a conversation with others.
Salad as appetizer was good together with steak as main. Steak was cooked perfectly, yet the side vegetables were quitw salty.
The crew was very accommodating.
Thank you for the meal!

The Gambas was GREAT. The steak was GOOD.
But the BEST thing on the menu for me was the Creme Brulee ✔️✔️✔️
Also loved the interiors of this place and the fact that they had a function room which can come in pretty handy this Christmas season 🎄
This place is nestled on a quiet village not far from the Provincial Capitol and has an intimate setup for dinners. The ambiance speaks about passion and love for food and is also a great way to enjoy steak without hurting the pocket. This is where great food and positive vibe takea centerstage. The outdoor kiosk is a plus on comfort while watching the city lights.
