Acme Restaurant
Independent restaurant serving Portland and the surrounding OR area. Here's what we offer, how we work, and how to get in touch.
About us
Independent, local, and built on doing the work right.
Acme Restaurant has spent years building a reputation as one of the most trusted restaurants in Portland. We're independently owned, deeply experienced, and care about the work as much as the customer who walks through the door. Whether you're new to restaurants or you've been disappointed elsewhere, the goal is the same: do the job right, the first time, and earn your repeat business honestly.
What makes us different
Small team. Honest work. Earned loyalty.
Most restaurants compete on price or volume. Acme Restaurant competes on the part you actually remember — the experience. Our team is small enough to know you by name and skilled enough to handle whatever you bring in. We don't upsell, we don't oversell, and we don't outsource what makes the work ours. That's the whole pitch.
Everything we do
Services & specialties
Tuesday–Thursday campaigns with day-specific offers (industry night, wine specials, prix fixe) targeted to diners within your real trade radius.
Push bookings straight to your own reservation system — Resy, Tock, or your site — so covers don't come with a per-head third-party fee.
Campaigns targeting office managers, event planners, and party hosts in your zip for rehearsal dinners, holiday parties, and corporate buyouts.
New menu, seasonal rotation, or chef's tasting — launch creative that re-engages past guests and reaches new diners while it's still news.
Diners who browsed the menu but didn't book, and past guests who haven't returned in 60 days, get a reason to come back this week.
Example testimonials

Frequently asked questions
How much should a restaurant spend on Meta ads?
Most full-service restaurants see strong results at $1,200–$2,500/mo in ad spend. Below $1,000/mo, Meta doesn't get enough conversion signal to optimize reservation campaigns properly.
Can you drive reservations without OpenTable fees?
Yes — that's the point. We send traffic to your own booking system and set up the Conversions API so we optimize on actual completed reservations, not clicks.
What creative do you need from us?
Ideally nothing. One 2-hour shoot — plates landing, the pass during service, the dining room full — gives us a month of ads. Food is the highest-performing creative category on Meta.
Is Acme Restaurant accepting new customers?
Yes. Acme Restaurant regularly welcomes new restaurant clients from across the Portland metro area. The fastest way to get on the calendar is to call or email using the contact details above, and someone will respond within one business day.
Want a real business website for your restaurant?
Karbon designs and ships full business websites — about page, services, contact, booking, the works — in 5–10 business days, wired to a CRM and your real ad accounts.
