Acme uses only grass-fed beef and local produce. Our server was ok although she didn't seem to know much about steak or wine which bothered me a bit. Charles, another server, stopped by and remembered my date from 6 months ago. He was very informative and explained Acme's philosophy and the exact farms and markets where they get their meat and produce. This was a rare treat; I'm certain other steakhouses can't or won't do the same.
The T-Bone was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. My only complaint was that they didn't have a NY strip by itself. The filet mignon side was so small and wasn't as high quality as I would've liked. The rest of the sirloin was great though. My date got duck with a pomegranate-red wine reduction that was outstanding (possibly better than the steak). The choices of sides were sub par, only because I prefer giant asparagus and creamed spinach which evidently aren't local in October. The chard was good though and I can deal without asparagus for the sake of knowing my food is fresh.
Wine selection was very small for a steakhouse and it's evidently not very popular on Saturday nights (which was somewhat nice because we got more attention). The manager never came over, which is a big downer for me if I'm spending a considerable amount of money...even Applebee's managers ask how my meal is.
