Arcadia, a new modern American restaurant, is opening in Polk City today with unique Vietnamese and Latino influences.
Why it matters: The owners want to introduce fine dining and more cultural choices to the suburb's growing restaurant scene, co-owner and head chef Mikel Nguyen tells Axios.
The vibe: The newly-constructed, nearly 5,000-square-foot restaurant has high ceilings, lots of windows and natural lighting.
- There's also a large patio for nearby boaters from Saylorville and Big Creek who want to dine outside.
What to expect: Brunch, lunch and dinner menus featuring casual plates like a smash burger ($15) to more formal plates like surf and turf ($37).
- Nguyen, who is Vietnamese, worked with his chefs to create a fusion menu featuring dishes like chimichurri tacos ($17.50) and Asian-inspired sticky ribs ($27).
The intrigue: "Arcadia" means a place with peace and simplicity, Nguyen says, nodding to their farm-to-table concept.
If you go: 11am-9pm, Tues-Thurs; 11am-10pm, Fri; 8am-10pm, Sat; 8am-2pm, Sun.
- 1010 Tyler Street, #4, Polk City.
