What G likes about Aquavit:
Worth an experience! It was my first time for Michelin 2 star restaurant and indeed an amazing tasting experience. They features all sorts of sauces adding to the course in front of you, and the flavors are rich and colorful. My favorites are caviar and potato, king crab and sunchock, lamb and lentil, and OMG the most famous birds nest!!! I hate goat cheese but this one is out of my mind, which doesn’t taste like goa... View all feedback. What NYCFoodie doesn't like about Aquavit:
We ate in the main dining room. The food was just okay. We did enjoy the wine paring. We weren’t wowed by any course, and actually didn’t like one. Can’t believe that the restaurant has two Michelin stars. Far too many exemplary restaurants in NYC, and this isn’t one of them. Go somewhere else! View all feedback.

Wonderful meal! Each course kept getting better. Best duck breast dish I’ve had and the bird’s nest for dessert is divine

Would have gotten all stars if the waiter remembered my Reisling request

Aquavit is a restaurant that has received mixed reviews from diners. Some were less impressed with the food, feeling that the taste combinations were odd and that certain dishes lacked balance. Others, however, raved about the top-notch food and service, with the Chef's tasting menu being a highlight. The atmosphere was praised for being calm and the service attentive. The Arctic Bird's Nest dessert was a standout, with many diners commending the overall experience as well worth the price. With a blend of positive and negative feedback, it is clear that Aquavit can be a hit or miss dining experience.
