Acme Oyster House - Table reservation

I arrived at the Acme Oyster House in Metairie after a long day in the sun at JazzFest. Even though the restaurant was packed, I was able to sit at a hightop in the bar. A cold Abita Amber was the first step towards a most enjoyable dining experience. Next, if my sense of taste is correct, the Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing on the side salad contained a touch of horseradish. Not too much; just enough to give the dressing a kick!

good food and decent prices. we had a half order of both kinds of oysters. I tried for the first time to utter on this trip and the garlic crimped butter and cheese on the boiled was a good supplement.

the service was good, but this place is nothing like the acme on bourbon. eating was better there, but my party enjoyed eating her. I have the fish and garnel plate, the seafood gum, a lemon and sweet tee. the limonade was good, but the sweet tee was amazing. the fish was thin and hard at the edges, but the garnels were good. the seafood gumbo had a funny taste. I mean extreme radioiness. the jambalaya was good when my niece got her, so I turned off my rubber bear, and the charge I got was burned. even better than the seafood gum. the alligator bits were decent, somehow hard and hard. the parking lot is very narrow. the ponchartrain wels was good with the cream sauce.

tonight for dinner here. absolutely the worst ever eat. we ordered ponchatrain and waitress said it was red, but it ended up fried cats. so delicate that one could not cut with a knife. we assume that we have crawled up in butter sauce and garnel. ha it was a kind of heavy with minimal scrap meat and no garnel. terrible. we have left starving.

good customer service. really much to do, but fun atmosphere. good food. good prices. we would definitely go back. ask: I try the fried carcinogens. Oh yes, the oysters are amazing. get their friends family together and try it. they will leave full and happy.
