🌟 ACRU NYC: Atomix’s Sister Restaurant with $95 Prix-Fixe Menu

Just opened in the West Village near NYU, ACRU is the latest venture from the team behind two-Michelin-starred Atomix — offering a more accessible fine dining experience at $95 for a 5-course prix-fixe (though we ended up with 7 dishes including dessert!). The space is understated, but the plating carries that signature elegant touch. 🍞 Prawn Toast A beautiful floral-adorned bite with delicate shrimp topping. Pretty to look at, tasty but not unforgettable. 🐟 Bluefin Tuna Thin slices with fig and roe — clean but lacked wow factor. 🫑 White Asparagus Sliced paper-thin with light broth. Simple and subtle — not a standout. 🐟 Spanish Mackerel Tender fish served with scallops, peas, and creamy fish liver (the highlight!). Came with warm bread and special butter — cozy and satisfying. 🐑 Lamb Leg Perfectly cooked and tender, though portion was small. 🍨 Pavlova ⭐ The best dish! Crunchy meringue-like base, creamy ice cream, and fruity sorbet — layers of texture and flavor that truly impressed. 🍦 Golden Haytime A caramel-coated ice pop — cute but not extraordinary. For the price, ACRU delivers a polished, ingredient-focused meal in a low-key setting. Don’t expect the grandeur of Atomix, but it’s a nice option for a special yet relatively affordable night out. 📍 ACRU – West Village, NYC 💰 ~$95 per person (before tax & tip) #ACRUNYC #AtomixSister #FineDiningNYC #PrixFixeNYC #WestVillageEats #NYCEats #MichelinVibes #NYCRestaurants #DateNightSpot #FoodieReview #NYCFoodie
