Excellent food and service!
This was our very first 2-starred Michelin experience we've had, and it was incredible! Each dish was so well thought-out and well-executed. The langoustine was exquisite, the scallop was delicate, and the the caviar was surprisingly light! The Bird's Nest dessert to finish everything off-- there are no words! I still daydream of this dinner. We were also blown away by how professional the staff was, with incredible attention to detail!
Be the first to ReplyTruly a special experience. 3rd star?! Hmm
Very very good. A truly memorable experience. The chef seems calm and unflappabe and came out to visit. She even sent me a truffle treat that absolutely made my day. Each course bursted with flavor and texture. The plating was worthy of an art museum. The caviar was generous. The famous arctic birds nest was worth all the hype. I did not want it to end. Too notch service as well. Barely finished my water before it was refilled. Lovely setting too.
Be the first to ReplyCuisine not always incisive
Room furnished in a minimal way, soft lights and essential mise en place. Scandinavian-derived cuisine with a menu that is not too broad and does not include a real tasting experience but only the possibility of choosing à la carte (they do not serve bread unless it is included among the starters as a separate dish). The food is good but not always incisive, the service is attentive. I appreciated the silence, which is anything but a given in NY restaurants. Prices clearly not within everyone's reach.

We celebrated our foodie daughter's birthday here with a 3 course lunch. Everything was perfect-the food, the presentation, the service. We also enjoyed sampling many flavors of house made aquavit. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyFinally a great wine pairing with a tasting menu
Excellent Chef"s tasting menu with wine pairing. Service was great. Tinney was an excellent wine expert
Be the first to ReplyExquisite
Exquisite dining room in a gorgeous, peaceful setting with delicious food and fabulous wait staff who were welcoming and polished
Be the first to ReplyFor the quality of the food and overall experience, it's the best deal in NYC
Best deal in NYC! We've been a couple times and each time have a great experience. The food is fantastic - creative, presented very well, and delicious, and the drinks are equally creative and delicious. Service is always great, and the atmosphere is great as well. And for the price, you can't beat it.
Be the first to ReplyScandanavian done to perfection
If you are looking for a Michelin Starred fine dining restaurant Aquavit can stand proudly next to the best in the world. From the amuse buche to the famous birds nest desert each course was creative and well executed. The Scallops and Chestnut was a personal favorite, with the flavor of grilled scallop infused through the dish. The staff was awesome, not just attentive and detail oriented, but you were left with the feeling they were happy to be there. Emma Bengtssom, the executive chef was working the pass and was an oasis of calm, clearly in her element and with every detail under control. A wonderful experience and would gladly return.
Be the first to ReplyA Great Way to Sample Nordic-Inspired Fine Dining Without Leaving the States
We enjoyed the Chef’s Tasting menu with wine pairing and supplements. Although the caviar paired well with the various dishes, the truffles didn’t. This is not to say that the food wasn’t excellent, it was! The service was professional and the drinks pairing spot on. Food favorites were the duck, and the caviar & potato. The Arctic Bird’s Nest dessert, so tasty, was the perfect way to end the meal. Well done one and all.
Be the first to ReplyA memorable anniversary dinner
We had the most amazing dinner last night at Aquavit, as we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. The service was impeccable, the food was amazing (we did the chef’s tasting menu), and the wine pairing was one of the best ones we’ve had to date. Particular highlights were the rainbow trout dish (one of the most memorable dishes of my life) and the arctic bird’s nest. Loved it!
Be the first to ReplyOverall a great visit
Had an excellent meal and overall visit. The food was fantastic, and very unique and creative, and very well presented. Drinks were also excellent, and service and the people were fantastic. Atmosphere was also excellent. And surprisingly, for Manhattan, it really wasn't that expensive. We'll definitely be back!
Be the first to ReplySoooo disappointed!
We were looking forward to an amazing dinner! It was a catastrophe! Fish tasting food. Several dishes that we couldn’t eat. Extremely expensive. And as a final count down….we got food poisoned 🤮
Be the first to ReplyLovely Food
The food was fabulous and we really enjoyed all courses provided via their lunch service for all three . The service was very attentive and they made sure we had everything we could ask for very promptly. The restaurant was very relaxed and you feel at ease, despite the Michelin ratings. We did have a slight disparity over the charge post meal but they were happy to sort this promptly and without disagreement. I would recommend this restaurant as we were impressed and felt well fed and dined.
Be the first to ReplyDramatically overpriced
This place is dramatically overpriced! We paid $275 for a family of three basically to have a plate of meatballs with cold mashed potatoes and a small appetizer each. Yes the service people are very nice and the atmosphere is peaceful. It’s a respite from the holiday craziness outside. But come on. I like to enjoy a glass of wine with a meal out but at $25 for the cheapest glass on the menu I abstained. The appetizers were okay but not great. The meatballs were tasteless. I make better myself! A coffee is $9. I would not go here unless it is Restaurant Week!

Honestly one of the best best dinners we have ever had. Service was impeccable - servers were very knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating. The food is just better and bette with each course. Cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re thinking about going - do it, you will not be disappointed. Decor is gorgeous as well
Be the first to ReplyAs expected, flawless
There were two spectacular plates, the roasted corn with caviar , paired with sake champagne and the bird nest. Everything else was also Outstanding. The food was delicious and the service incredible.
Be the first to ReplyInnovative food, drinks and experience.
The food is excellent with an artistic presentation. It was one creative dish after another and the drinks were enjoyable as well. The service was top flight and the restaurant had an elegant but simplistic decor. We really enjoyed the food and experience. You will not leave hungry.

We took the tasting menu. The food was delicious especially the caviar, king crab and duck meals. Service was excellent. The presentation of the dishes was impeccable.
Be the first to ReplySublime experience
I took a special friend here for his birthday and the entire experience was wonderful. This is a very relaxed, spacious, quiet restaurant with great staff. Everyone we interacted with was professional but also fun and interesting. We barely noticed anyone else there. The food is highly creative and delicious. One of the top 5 restaurants in NYC as far as food but the atmosphere and experience make it my second favorite after Aska.

High class food and service. Highly recommended for a special meal. Acknowledged it was our anniversary with a glass of champagne.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious seafood-based courses!
We’ve been to many prix fixe oriented restaurants and Aquavit ranks very highly for its seafood-based courses, and the calm and tasteful dining room and decor, and the service. The wine list is excellent. We have two nitpicks though for a restaurant at this level. First, our primary server temporarily took on the role of sommelier by giving wine pairing advice but didn’t have the expertise to pull this off. The sommelier did come over several minutes later and he was excellent but he was a busy man and couldn’t spend as much time with people as I would expect. Also, at the end of the meal, the server missed a big opportunity by not offering after dinner drinks. This is becoming strangely common even in 2-star restaurants.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing
Let me start with the caveat that we were in the bar, not the main restaurant. We ordered the first Christmas plate. The accompanying glass of glogg was just the ordinary stuff one drinks anywhere in Sweden at this time of year. The herring were fine, but nothing special; ditto for the smoked salmon, gravlax, ham, and cubes of cheese - same stuff you can pick up from a nice supermarket. The shrimp eggs, which at least didn't appear to come out of a package, were cold and had no taste. The boiled potatoes were good. No point whatsoever in paying this amount of money for these perfectly ordinary things, a good portion of which went uneaten. We next had the skate schnitzel, a paper thin piece of fish with a lot of breading soaked in a butter sauce. Fine, but nothing like two star food. The service was likewise fine, as was the atmosphere. The question really was, why come here? Based on the excellent reviews of the main restaurant, perhaps try that instead of the bar.
Be the first to ReplyMost incredible food I had this year
This was incredible.
The details are not making it Justice
This was a surprise on every expected level
First the food was well deserving of 3 Michelin stars
The progression was perfect
The first course was amuse of shrimp crispy and citrus surprise of texture and taste paired with a perfectly blended pate and sweet sour bite
Next came a very refreshing bite of fluke
Followed by an amazing caviar and langustine perfect bite and a highlight- well deserved to be a signature dish followed by the most incredible crab dish 2 ways paired with incredible Bread followed again by
Sweetbread- a twist that was fine and the weakest dish of the night but still crunch texture and solid dish
The halibut follows and is well balanced and very well received
The duck was excellent and truly deserving of a gold star Add on truffle was amazing but noted to be both expensive and not necessarily requires as the dish stood very well on its own
A intermezzo not too overwhelming and well placed - was fine
Last came the desert a significant up scale and signature worthy desert
Last came swaleets a nice touch
The food was a 9 with all well received
The mediocre temporizing component were
Location is nice but not as comfortable as one can get - fine but not great
The cost was as expected but expensive
Service was good not great 8
The only poorly received was the paired drinks menu
The pours were small some much lower than expected
I expected 2 oz for each they were much smaller but well paired and good wines
The pisco drink was very good and the beers selection and execution was good
Overall service 7-8
The value to the paired wine was 5 pulling it down
Overall the most surprising meal and experience I had this year and well deserving of the 2 stars
I see a bright future for this restaurant and chef with impecable ability to bring joy
Blessed to be here
Good, but not great!
I must say, with two Michelin stars and some fantastic reviews, we decided to attend this restaurant, which specializes in Nordic cuisine.
On a busy Saturday evening, we were very happy to try the set tasting menu, which had the following courses:
(1) Fluke and cucumber. This really worked very well. Fresh and light chopped fluke with the crunch of the cucumber. A very good way to start this menu;
(2) Scallop and leek. What's not to like about scallops. Sweet and fresh. However, you would hope that leek would go well with the seafood. It seemed to overpower it both in taste and texture. The scallop had been chopped up and covered with the chopped leek;
(3) Halibut and trout roe. A great combination. However, our table agreed that the halibut was slightly undercooked;
(4) Beef with black garlic. Really delicious combination. However, for the price of $155 per person, two rather minute slithers of beef was a little mean; and
(5) Dark chocolate with currant. This was something else. Probably our table's favorite, even though not all are 'sweet-tooths'. The currant sorbet (tasted a lot like plum sorbet) was tart and really was delightful with the rich chocolate. Most excellent!
I would struggle to complain about service. We literally could not move without a server being attentive. Perhaps overly attentive.
The atmosphere was fine, but in my humble opinion, the staff lacked esprit de corps. They were efficient, but lacked personality. What I am trying to say is the service was there but felt like a facade or veneer hiding something.
Good, but not excellent.
Good Meal
I enjoyed my meal. This was my second time at Aquavit, and I would love to return a third time.
My only regret is ordering the wine pairing. The pours were very small, and the pricing was very expensive compared to wine-by-the-glass, yet the quality of the wine-by-the-glass was about the same. Our table managed by a team of servers, as opposed to a dedicated server. This resulted in service being a little more rushed than I would have preferred. Another advantage of ordering wine-by-the-glass is that you can manage the speed of the service better.
I don't mind, but this is not really a Nordic restaurant. Yes, the furniture is Nordic, and one of dishes was accompanied with classic Swedish bread, but none of the staff was Nordic, and the dishes included ingredients such as Asian spices, daikon, and lemon.
