This attractive Scandinavian restaurant features a mid-century Scandinavian décor both in the café as well as in the dining room and lounge area. The ash wood ceiling, mellow lighting, wooden floors and sleek designs create a refined and modern ambiance. However, the spectacular food prepared by celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson is the real star. The three-course prix fixed dinner menu includes favorites like smoked salmon, Arctic char, and some vegetarian options. Service is extremely professional without being stuffy. Reservations are a must in the formal downstairs dining room, but there is also casual seating in the upstairs area.

Ahh, the food of my people! Yes, not the most sophisticated of palates, but a pleasure nonetheless. The NFT guidebook I had was a little out of date...

Came here for lunch a couple weeks, and I was a little disappointed. Perhaps it's because I don't like dill or because I have no palette for Scandinavian...

Very good restaurant, and being a Scandinavian-American, I have to say I feel that it manages to stay very authentic as well. The wine menu is great, but if...

good for business dinner

 by  capibobin  on  2009-02-14

Food is good but pricy for non expense account dinner. We weren't pleased that they try to hide the restaurant menu. we had to request it.

Fantastic!

Aquavit is the type of place, at first glance, that seems a bit on the stuffy side ? a little too stiffly pressed and polished. The door is so...

It is very....Scandanavian

First off, I am writing about the cafe not the dining room. But there is no listing on citysearch for the cafe, so what else can I do. We tri...
