A trip to New Orleans and a brand new relationship with oysters, this place delivered both. I'll be…read morehonest, I was nervous. The texture reviews had me second guessing myself at the door but I'd read enough to know Acme was the place to take the leap. Started with a half dozen charbroiled oysters -- strategic, just in case and immediately wanted to order another round. Showed restraint and explored the menu instead, landing on the catfish po'boy which was equally satisfying. No regrets but the oysters were absolutely the moment. The line outside makes complete sense. The food, the service, the ambiance it all feels authentically New Orleans even sitting in the middle of the tourist district, which is honestly harder to pull off than it sounds. This one has officially made the must return list for every future New Orleans trip. Already looking forward to it.

We had a great dinner at Acme!…read more We started with the chargrilled oysters, which were dripping in a Parmesan garlic butter - so so good! I got the fried peace maker po-boy and it was delicious! The fried shrimp and oyster wasn't greasy and tasted fresh. My sister got the New Orleans medley, which was okay. We preferred the gumbo, which was very flavorful. The jambalaya was a little dry for our preference and the rice and beans lacked flavor. My dad got the gator bites which were also really good! We also appreciated the options they had for vegetarians - my mom got the veggie burger and sweet potato fries and enjoyed both. She also had a shellfish allergy and they took great care regarding cross contamination.

The restaurant is beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and every dish showcased just how incredible the seafood is. We started with the tuna crudo, which was incredibly fresh. We also shared the spicy ground shrimp over pasta, and it was unlike anything I've had before. Oddly enough, it reminded me of Cincinnati chili in the best possible way. rRch, comforting, and packed with flavor. For the main dish, we had the baked drum, which was cooked perfectly and served with stewed okra. The fish was outstanding, and the flavors throughout the dish were balanced and delicious. We also shared the grilled zucchini. It was a bit overcooked, which made it soft, but the flavor was still excellent. Overall, this was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Beautiful restaurant, outstanding service, and memorable food. I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in New Orleans and highly recommend it.

This was some of the worst customer service I've experienced in a long time…read more I ordered the steamed crabs. As soon as they arrived, I picked one up and immediately thought, "Wow, this is incredibly light." Anyone who eats crabs regularly knows that's usually a bad sign. When I opened it, it was completely hollow inside--nothing but an empty shell. A crab that is hollow like that was dead before it was cooked. I never took a single bite. I showed it to our server, Remy B., who apologized and said she would let the manager know. She took the plate away, so I assumed the issue was being handled. When the bill arrived, I was still charged for the crabs. I asked to speak with a manager and explained exactly what happened. She confirmed that I had notified the server and that the plate had been taken away. Then she told me that it didn't matter because their policy is to not give refunds or remove food from a check. Let that sink in: they acknowledged that I didn't eat the food, acknowledged that the server removed it, and still charged me for it. A restaurant standing behind its food is the bare minimum. Charging customers for food that was clearly unacceptable and never eaten is ridiculous. The lack of concern from management was even more disappointing than the crab itself. The only reason this review isn't 1 star is because the young man at the host stand was friendly, professional, and the one bright spot of the entire experience.

Well - let me anyway. High quality here - from start to finish. Thoughtful, design forward, excellence everywhere. The Gumbo was unlike anything I could have imagined - dark and rich - a treat. Had the butcher slice me some mortadella - then they plated that with some stone ground mustard and crackers - I'll remember this one for a while. if you get down here - make it your mission to get here.

It felt a little confusing because it was slow at times, but then our food came out pretty quickly.

Located right on Bourbon Street, we were on the second level and could step out onto the balcony and overlook the city. The staff was very friendly, but the food ended up being just alright.

I ordered the shrimp po' boy, which was around $22, and was surprised it didn't come with fries. Usually places either include them or at least mention that they're separate when ordering. We also started with the charbroiled oysters, and whatever topping or seasoning was on them had this weird crunchy, crackling texture that literally felt like it was cracking against my teeth when I bit into it. I don't know if it was burnt cheese or what, but I personally could not eat more than one. The service also wasn't great during our visit. After our food was dropped off, our waiter never checked back in. I had ordered fries separately once I realized they didn't come with the sandwich, but after waiting about 10 minutes with no update, I finally got up and walked to the bar to cancel them because I was almost done eating at that point. Maybe we came at an off time, but overall it just wasn't the experience we were hoping for and probably not somewhere we'd return.

The restaurant is actually bigger than we thought. Our server was just okay, maybe she had a long day. I ordered the chargrilled oysters to start off, my husband had the gumbo. Both were delicious, no complaints. Our main entree. I ordered the main lobster and he ordered the Mediterranean fish dinner. The lobster had a little fresh taste, kinda fishy. I didn't too much like that and the butter didn't mask it. My husband said his reddish taste like vinegar. The potatoes that came with both meals were very delicious, nice and buttery and tender. All in all, I know that I can get the chargrilled oysters and be satisfied.
