Aquavit

"2 Michelin stars. Fine dining. Wonderful experience with both food, service, and setting. A very reasonable price on the lunch pre-fixe (compared to others in the same class). I'm ashamed that I haven't come here sooner. Fun and delicious. I usually talk about the dishes in detail - but I believe the surprise is part of the experience so, if you can resist, skip looking at the photos if possible and dive in blind. I did go in expecting heavy sea food - but was hit with a nice balance of creative dishes. This was my first visit. I surprised my wonderful beautiful wife (who might be reading this) with a visit here for her birthday. I added the non-alcoholic pairing (I still had work to do later haha) and was impressed by how excited I was for not only the food but the drinks. Staff were super kind and professional. And the restaurant has a simple gorgeous tone to it. What I couldn't figure out was why some chairs were draped with a sort of fur shawl. I'll ask next time."

"A very refreshing tasting experience. Every dish had a fresh taste, not sickening at all. I liked the addition of some sour flavours to the dish. It covered a wide range of foods as well (meat and seafood). I would recommend and would go again!"

"Amazing two star Michelin star premier Nordic restaurant. Exceptional chef tasting menu with wine pairing. Phenomenal service and staff. Really worth the visit and I definitely recommend dining at Aquavit if you are in NYC and have the opportunity to book a reservation in advance."

"Never explored Scandinavian cuisine previously and decided to give it a try. Lots of dill and tart berries keep the dishes fresh. The service staff was very attentive yet not ovoverbearing. The wine pairing option was a bit pricey but I think it was an important part of the experience. The Crab and Corn dish and the Caviar courses were exceptional especially with the accompanying pairings. Great customized dining experience as the server notified the bar director we were in the food and beverage industry and they sent out a complimentary tasting flight of aquavit to finish the meal. Not for the faint of heart cost-wise but a great experience."
