We went for a friends Birthday, and a band happened to be performing. Great, free music with my food...but wait, I can't even hear a word any one else is saying to me! I went out for dinner to enjoy the company of my friends, but instead found myself with a headache and a hoarse voice the next day, as... More

First thing we saw when we entered was fruit flies. Appetizers and Entrees arrived at the table together? Strange. High prices all around the menu. Drink special on Sunday! More

My husband and I used to go to ACME regularly for sushi, but after Peter sold it, it has never been the same again, so we hadn't been there in awhile. A friend said that they had one of their old sushi chef's back, so we thought we'd give it another try. Unfortunately, it looks like our friend was mistaken.... More

I had a pureed borcht and a Bento Box, how far apart is that? Both were excellent. Bring your friends to this unique establisment. You will all have a good time. Lots of sushi dishes to choose from in what looks more like an English Pub. More

Need I say more? Although I said I wouldnt go back after my last overpriced disappointment at ACME, I went in last night with a friend. We both ordered tea. Tiny teapots with one mug full of water arrived; our bill for this awesomeness was just under seven bucks. Um. Yeah. That's not really going to work. Good luck, ACME,... More

I have been going to Acme for lunches & dinners for many years. It has changed ownership several times. Each time, the quality of the food goes down. The last time that we went was Christmas Eve. My husband & I were invited to attend an early dinner at Acme by my daughter & son in law. It was the... More

We love coming to ACME they often have live music which we really enjoy. There are just enough tables to give a quaint atmosphere and not so many that you feel lost in the crowd. The sushi is made fresh and they have some very unique dishes. We have always had great service even when we just have come in... More
