Aquavit

Aquavit is pure class. Its status is shown in the details- as most amazing things are. I dined here for lunch and participated in their three course meal option. The value of my meal greatly exceeded the price I paid- which is rare in this day and age. I started with the scallops which where incredibly fresh and rich. I then ordered the Ora King Salmon which was perfectly cooked, although I should have went with my gut to try the Swedish meatballs. The trout roe on the salmon was a perfect addition though, and didn't feel too 'fishy'. Now... onto the star of my meal, The Artic Bird's nest. Iconic and one of the best desserts I'd ever had. It was balanced, fresh yet indulgent and decadent. I will definitely be back to try the full tasting menu!

Wonderful lunch at Aquavit. Did a 5-course tasting which is such a great deal for the city for what you get. Everything was good to exceptional with the wagyu sup, birds nest (obvious) and Chilean sea bass winning out for me. Other secondary components/dishes like the creamy elk opener, Swedish caviar, and Iberico rillettes were awesome bites or compliments to the primary dishes. The pairing was very complimentary and service was excellent. Highly recommended

Aquavit is an excellent 2 star rated Michelin restaurant! We ordered the 7 course Chefs tasters menu. Everything that came out of that kitchen was excellent. The service was very good. The ambiance was equally very good. I must say, in all my life- i've never had a more fun time eating the Chefs special dessert. The Birds Nest! This dessert is absolutely one of the best deserts i've ever eaten.

Beautiful dining experience from start to finish. We chose to eat in the bar room because we wanted to choose our items rather than have a tasting menu. We started with the breads which included a traditional sourdough and a danish rye. Both delicious but the danish bread was the star and worth ordering the bread to try. The tartare was very good, a small portion but tasty. We ate at the bar and the bartender was great, he provided very welcomed recommendations and descriptions of the food. We also shared the shrimp skagen pancake. I will ruin the description but it was like a light crepe filled with shrimp in a creamy sauce. I am not doing it justice but it should be a must try. We then split the meatballs and KROPPKAKOR. Both were delicious but the kroppkakor was the star. A li

Aquavit is a two Michelin star Nordic restaurant for 2025, and in terms of food quality it’s easily one of the best value fine dining spots in New York. Published on Main, which was once ranked number one in Canada with one Michelin star, shares some similar DNA with its Nordic based fusion approach, but there is still a noticeable gap when compared to Aquavit. We chose the five course tasting menu but not the chef’s menu with seven courses. I was a bit worried about portion size at first, but in the end two adults were completely full. A big part of that credit goes to the excellent rye bread and house butter. Unlike the rye bread most people are used to, Aquavit’s version is neither hard nor sour. The nuts baked inside even add a subtle sweetness, which makes it quite distinctive. Ove
