I absolutely love this place for many reasons. 1st of all I have been living in N.Y all my life and this place is by far the best value. During happy hour ALL appetizers are 1/2 price including oysters and shrimp. Plus on Tuesday's they have $2 specials on some beers. I also love Abita beers and the Cajun cuisine. This place will leave you very satisfied with still money left over for dessert if you could fit it in.

Waste of money. I lived in New Orleans for nine years, so I believe I have a good sense of southern cooking. I can say that Acme is a poor rendition of southern food. The food was bland, and the restaurant was pretty dirty. I couldn't even finish my meal. It's pretty much a trap for unwitting NYU students and unknowledgeable tourists. Avoid it.

Awful service. The workers were mean to my children when they asked for photos. Everything was dirty.

Walking into Moran's during the week it would seem like your average restaurant/pub, but looks can be deceiving. My husband and I visited several catering halls and researched a few restaurants for our wedding, but nothing seemed like the right fit u ...
