menu  

“... The quite affordable three-course menu had us tasting a melt-in-your mouth artichoke bisque spiked with truffle crme fraiche and bits of venison, a smooth and perfectly pink seared salmon topped with bright orange roe, and a chocolate lovers dream of a chocolate mousse to end the meal...

herring  

“... Chef Marcus Jenmark's cuisine blends modern and traditional Scandinavian cuisine on his nightly tasting and prix fixe menus, so, yes, pickled herring, but also a butter-poached trout with roe and greens, or seared arctic char with cauliflower puree, nettles, smoked egg yolk, lobster and ale sauce...

    Aquavit has the most amazing food. The best part, appart from the cucumber aquavit was the goat cheese ice cream. I was leery to try it (but since I will try anything once), I tried it and can't wait to go back for more. Definitely worth the money.

    My dinner at Aquavit was a top notch experience. Recently, I ate at Aquavit in NY. What a enjoyable and satisfied mealService at this particular restaurant was extremely awesome!The dining room is sleek and somewhat lovely. The hospitality was remarkable. Now the quality not to mention amount of food seemed to be to very good. Even though no serious issues. Me and my friend had a terrific evening! So refreshing since there are countless NY restaurants that are bad. I'm a enormous fan of the place. Visit today before the hype gets ridiculous. We will certainly be soon.
