    We rented the whole bottom floor for a friends birthday and it was great. They put the tables together and served a good 3 course dinner. Please note that the place is quite laid back and a bit cold inside during dinner. The place later turned into a club, which was tons of fun.

    The atmosphere was great both in the dining room and the lounge downstairs! The food was okay compared to its price. The complementary chips and cacio e pape spaghetti was top notch.The lounge downstairs had a dance floor and a DJ which I enjoyed very much! It got packed at around 12

    The hamburger was excellent: perfect bun, great patty, not too soggy nor oily. It matches European tastes and small appetites.The cocktails were good, nothing exceptional.Heads-up : The service is a bit slow and the place is really loud, often with live music, but thats part of the show!

    Great food and atmosphere. The drinks were on point! Big group of women so we ordered a mix of appetizers. The wings were huge & delicious zucchini chips amazing, chicken skewers ok, and mini burgers amazing! Will definitely come back!

    Came for a private event and had a great evening! Service was great and the staff were so kind, shout out to the chef that made a plate of dairy-free sliders for me!

    The food here was great. The Rigatoni I had was excellent as was my wifes pasta, although her portion was on small side. Very dark here and the only reason I gave it 4 stars was the host and wait staff were not that friendly. I would recommend.

  • Review 7 (2014-06-07 - Rating: 4)

    I really enjoyed my dinner here. The menu changes periodically, but the fish taco and farmers eggs are staples here that definitely worth checking out. Im not sure where they get their fingering potatoes from, or how they prepare them, but those are some of the most creamy and buttery potatoes Ive ever tasted. Absolutely phenomenal. Id skip the desserts, though. I have yet to come across good desserts at a Nordic restaurant, and this place is no exception.Food: 4/5Service: 4/5Decor: 4/5Noise level: easy to carry out a conversation in a booth

    Great cocktails; comfortable and lively vibe for a Saturday night; candlelit, leather, marble and sepia toned decor; good food: solid clams casino appetizer, good ricotta cheesecake and great scallops with roasted Brussels. The only drawbacks are that it is a bit expensive; beer and cocktail offerings are very good but not extensive.

  • Review 9 (2012-05-31 - Rating: 4)

    I miss the old Acme - the cajun roadhouse, but this place is nice if youre looking for something considerably more upscale. We went early on a Saturday and since we told them we had to be out by 7:45, they were able to seat us - they were completely booked from 8pm on. Our meals were good, the fish special and the beets were a particular favorite. The service was fine, but I wonder how they do when the place really fills up. I thought the prices were $$$ rather than $$.

  • Review 10 (2014-11-10 - Rating: 4)

    Waiter was a bit too cool for school, sometimes personality and a bit of warmth is all thats needed. Service was excellent to be fair.Food was great - we had the eggs with cauliflower foam which were delightful, foie gras and langoustine, we loved and lots more.Great ambience. Cool enough interior and bar area.

    A sultry sexy vibe with a friendly staff. A must try in NYC

  • Review 12 (2018-02-02 - Rating: 5)

    Incredibly nice, hidden jam. Known for the inpublicity and good, real drinks along.

  • Review 13 (2018-06-30 - Rating: 4)

    Food was excellent and worth the price. We had the cacio e Pepe, the crab spaghetti, grilled salmon and polenta. The cacio e pepe was particularly memorable, the flavor was so on points Wine selection was quite good, and the drinks in general are great. The club area downstairs was a lot of fun!

  • Review 14 (2024-01-23 - Rating: 4)

    Great party place. 80ies music was played, people are very chill and i had a lot of fun

  • Review 15 (2012-07-26 - Rating: 4)

    More about the scene than the cuisine even though the New Nordic dishes coming from the kitchen are nothing to scoff at. The model-types in the dining room remind of days when Downtown was less full of d-bags and (gasp!) the prices are actually affordable. Head downstairs post din-din to chill out in the lounge and catch some live jazz musics.

  • Review 16 (2018-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent pick. Great ambiance. Attentive service. Beautiful people. Inventive food. On the expensive side but this is Manhattan. Outstanding steak. Loved the beets.

  • Review 17 (2024-05-25 - Rating: 5)

    🥳 We love Moussa and Mary Lou!They work the front door and were amazing. Coming from Nightlife and Hospitality. 💝We were there for about an hour or 2.They are enough to make us come back and recommend to others. Thank you!Filled up pretty fast and liked the music & disco ball.

  • Review 18 (2016-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Stunning venue with amazing food and lovely attentive staff. Perfect for a romantic little something or a group of friends. Cant wait to go again!

  • Review 19 (2012-09-11 - Rating: 4)

    This place was recently renovated and no longer serves Cajun food - whats available now is a tastefully designed bar and dining space that offers a sophisticated New Nordic menu and well-crafted cocktails.

  • Review 20 (2018-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere. Dessert was probably my favorite. Tres leches like Ive never had before.

  • Review 21 (2019-02-23 - Rating: 4)

    Lively place on Friday night. Delicious food to share. But the service was expedited and not so friendly.

  • Review 22 (2013-02-01 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing, mind-opening food. I wish I could eat duck confit ebleskiver every day! Service was very good (despite lots of other reviews saying it is poor).

    Excellent drinks. I went with a friend and had an amazing time. The staff was friendly and the bar menu was exemplary.

    Thought the food and drinks were good but not exceptional. Unfortunately, in Manhattan, there are plenty of such restaurants.

  • Review 28 (2013-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Great catfish, ok mac n cheese, good garlic spinach and brussel sprouts. Usually followed by a lemonade

    The restaurant is nice and the food is good.The nightclub has a very good atmosphere, and with even better music... I recommend it!The security guard is very unfriendly and even rude.The concierge, on the other hand, is very friendly and perceptive.

  • Review 30 (2013-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    The way ingrediens are treated - with respect and without prejudice - makes for a truly excellent dining experience.

    I dont even know where to begin, its chic, its so New York, its unbelievably delicious. 6/5 stars.

  • Review 34 (2023-11-01 - Rating: 4)

    The bouncers can def be intimidating but have been here 3x and never had a bad experience. Very typical nyc entrance situation, just be patient and polite and you will get in without having to pay. Crowd is probably around ~25 years and music is alright

  • Review 35 (2019-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    Pricey but Kale salad and Blackberry drink were awesome.

  • Review 36 (2023-06-22 - Rating: 4)

    Fun spot for a night out. Better on weeknights. The only problem is the prices but if someone else is picking up the tab its a place to meet accomplished attractive people

  • Review 37 (2015-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    It was a great atmosphere with really friendly staff that went above and beyond to make me and my boyfriend smile....Love ACME!!!

    Good vibe, good food, good drinks. A bit pricey and noisy though.

    Awesome! Good music dancing fun environment. Security on point.

  • Review 48 (2022-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    This is for the Nines specifically. Sat at the bar. The bartenders were great. Cocktails on the menu were very solid, but I was more impressed when I ordered a vodka gimlet. Was spot on. Staff was friendly, not snobby like one might expect at a place where a reservation is hard to get. Very relaxed and similar to a Wisconsin supper club, but in downtown NYC. Impressed. Expensive, but impressed.

    Fun underground party bar. Music was deafening but the DJ was really good.

  • Review 55 (2019-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    Went their with friends during the restaurant week. Very good place. The food was creative- my starter was artichokes with lemon cream - but at times lack fines touches ( the artichokes were a bit over grilled). Overall, the food was very good, including the desert, which included a few re-invented dishes. Good selection of wines - but not a huge list. The service was superb - one of the best in NY and the place looked very popular - clear the in place these days.

    When i attended nyu for undergrad, i used to love coming here. their wings were the best. and their other food and beer selections were amazing as well. never had an issue with the quality of the food and service. havent been in a few months, might be time to go back.

  • Review 62 (2018-01-20 - Rating: 4)

    Much better since it was taken over from Carmike cinema.

  • Review 63 (2017-04-01 - Rating: 4)

    Food was great! Amazing bar tender service with amazing/friendly staff. Great downstairs club/lounge area. There was a line outside for the downstairs club, but if youre eating dinner there you can go to the downstairs area after without having to wait in line outside.

  • Review 64 (2018-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    Hey! Bartender was great, ambience was great, all was great until the 20 something super loud girls came in to tell EVERYONE just how smart and successful they were. There was a group who had downstairs booked for a birthday and they looked like they were having a great time. All in all, its the kind of place you can have a drink and relax at.

  • Review 65 (2018-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I had a wonderful evening here with friends. I highly recommend their chicken entree.

  • Review 66 (2017-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibe, the bar tender Jake is super hospitable, friendly and sweet. The drinks he recommended were perfect. Would come here again!

  • Review 67 (2019-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    This is one of those expensive places where the food is good and the service is appallingly slow, but thats okay because youre having a good time sipping on a fantastic cocktail with your friends. We made a reservation but it wasnt necessary because the place was by no means full at 7:30pm on a Thursday. Seriously, the cocktails were amazing. But my steak was only good, not great, and the chimichirri sauce was disappointing. Ive made it better at home. The fries were pretty great, and they give you chips with this amazing spicy dipping sauce. The other people I was with got the burger and said it was good. Theres an asparagus starter that was really stellar, though!

  • Review 69 (2012-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Serving mostly southern cuisine, but at far higher prices, Acme has only average fare, at above average cost. There are tastier places to go. Hot tip, avoid the $8 juice, it tastes the same as what youll get in a grocers fridge.

  • Review 73 (2018-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for restaurant week and the entire experience was flawless. I had the cocktail with mezcal, tequila, and pineapple juice--it was a perfect balance of sweet and smoky. For the artichoke appetizer, the artichokes were perfectly crisp without being heavily battered or breaded and the cheese and herb sauce underneath--which I expected to be more of a garnish--was a delightful complement. For the entree, I got the chicken, which far exceeded my expectations. Often chicken is sort of an afterthought at restaurants, but this was done in a sweet-savory sauce over a very light batter that gave it a richer feel that youd expect from red meat. For dessert, the affogato is pretty typical but I did appreciate them not dousing the ice cream in the entire cup of espresso. I could actually enjoy it without racing the rapidly melting ice cream. All in all, the vibe is great--a mix of a trendy hotel bar and Soho house or almost collegiate feel. The service was impeccable.

    Was here for an event downstairs and the place was everything you would expect from a NYC bar. We didnt get to eat off the menu, but the passed appetizers were tasty. The cocktails were special for the night and were expertly crafted by the very accommodating bartenders.

    I had a likable yet flawed brunch here recently. I like the design of the room and the menu had some interesting choices but the service was spotty and our $12 mushroom toast was charred beyond belief. Acme comes with an impressive pedigree but in reality its far from best in show.

  • Review 95 (2015-01-31 - Rating: 4)

    I cant speak to the food because I havent eaten here. While the drinks are a bit pricey, they are worth it. I went downstairs on a Friday night around 9pm before it turned int oa scene and it was a solid crowd.Then once it started getting later they moved a lot of the chairs out of the way and the DJ started playing a great mix from the 90s and everyone was on the dance floor. The crowd wasnt too young which was a nice change.
