Polk City's newest restaurants opens up

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 4,000-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.

Dig in: Expect brunch, lunch and dinner menus featuring a range from casual plates like a smash burger ($15) to more formal plates like surf and turf ($37).

• Nguyen, who is Vietnamese, also incorporated fusion foods, along with his Latino chef. You'll find 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.
