I was referring to food quality and service more than price. The food 
is often overcooked and bland. The tip is included in the meal price, 
and the waiters act like they know it.

Acme is OK if you like raw oysters and fried seafood. Another place 
like this near the hotel is Felix's (at 739 Iberville), which I like 
a little more. Other relatively inexpensive places include Deanie's 
Seafood at 841 Iberville (sort of like Acme and Felix's with less 
character but with *huge* portions), Napoleon House at 500 Chartres 
(best known for their hot mufuletta - I think a mufuletta is better 
unheated), Mena's Palace at 200 Chartres (I've never eaten there), 
and Johnny's Po-Boys at 511 St. Louis (for the uninitiated, a Po-Boy 
is a type of sandwich).
