What’s all the fuss about ACME? The facade is exactly the
same as it was during it’s many years as an “Authentic Southern and Cajun
Cookin” bar and grill… But the interior has been completely redone, well, to
look old. Danish chef Mads Refslund brings a modern, and somewhat revolutionary
cuisine to the spot, not disappointing his legacy of being an apprentice of the
world-renowned restaurant Noma in Copenhagen.
The doorman with the list at the door is
obviously intimidating to passers by and completely discourages walk-ins. The
place has a super buzzed scene, but once you score a resie (really simple, try
opentable in advance), and after you pass the lizard handles on its shiny red doors,
service is friendly, the mixologist kind, and the atmosphere quite welcoming,
emulating a Parisian café.
Downstairs is a funky basement bar, for aperitifs or an après-dinner
cocktail. Perfect place if you want a hip vibe, with innovative and interesting
dishes.
