Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

One of my least favorite Michelin rated restaurants visited

3/5 by Azarel B. on 03/21/2023

One of my least favorite Michelin rated restaurants visited so far. I expected a lot for two stars and it certainly was no Jean George or Gabriel Kreuther. The attention to detail and service just wasn't there for me. My fiancé who isn't as much of a foodie as me even mentioned that it just felt like a "regular" restaurant. Not the Michelin quality we so highly anticipated. No black gloves, greetings from the manager, in depth knowledge of menu, bread or dessert carts. Maybe the French have just spoiled me? Simply put, the menu and experience was boring. I was in and out in an hr tops. You spends upwards of $1000 at Michelin restaurants to experience new foods and combinations that make your eyes light up. The food is basically art but this was just food cooked well... The most exciting dish I had was the bird's nest dessert. Flawlessly executed dish but even that was just okay because the concept is popular in NYC restaurants at the moment. I've had versions of it at least three times already elsewhere. This one being the best though, I must say. My favorite bite? the bread. Now that was like no bread I've ever tasted before. It was excellent from taste to texture. Don't get me wrong, the staff was very pleasant and the food was enjoyable. However, if it weren't for the caviar tasting add on, I would've left very disappointed. The whole ordeal was just rushed and lack luster.

4/5 by Selena L. on 02/23/2023

Came here for dinner; some solid eats and they have a reasonably priced menu, as far as 2 Michelin star places go.We started with the herring sampler, which was definitely my favorite of the night. The herring itself was tangy and sweet, and I enjoyed getting to try the 3 different flavors. They all complimented the herring quite well, and honestly I have a hard time picking a favorite!We ordered 3 entrees to share--the short rib, Swedish meatballs, and arctic char. Honestly, I think we expected the entrees to be smaller since it's a Michelin star spot, but it actually ended up being plenty of food! My favorite was probably the arctic char, which was cooked perfectly and had great texture. I also liked the radish that paired with the char. The short rib was soft and tender, and the meatball was juicy and I enjoyed having the tartness of the berry to contrast. I did feel that some of the dishes were a tad too salty for my taste, however.

Food: 3Decor: 4Service: 5Came here for a work dinner with a party of 5. They have 2 Michelin stars and serve Nordic food, which was definitely unique.175 ppHors d'oeuvreGreat. Really liked the chip with yellowtail and radish, as well as the red dish afterwards.Fluke and MelonOkay. The combination of fluke and melon was unique, but overall thought it fell a bit short. Also wished there was a bit more uni.Foie gras and grannysmithGood. Foie gras was tasty, and the julienned grannysmith apple provided some nice acid to balance.Cod and endiveGood. Cod was cooked well as was the endive, and the foam added some nice flavor.Duck and beetsGood. Duck was cooked perfectly and wasn't too gamey or hard to chew. Beets provided some nice acidic balance.MeatballsOkay. We added this to our dinner, and they were pretty good.Honeycrisp and fennelOkay. Interesting combination and pretty plating, but wasn't blown away by it.Petit foursGood. Truffle, gelee, and caramel.Service was excellent. Overall, glad I was able to visit and check this place out, but was hoping I would enjoy it more than I did given the two stars.

The server was very attentive and conscientious of my nut

4/5 by Melanie G. on 02/11/2023

The server was very attentive and conscientious of my nut allergy. Restaurant had a really nice ambiance. The bread basket we ordered was hands down one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life. I have only been to NYC twice, but this place will be on my list when I return simply because of the bread.Having said that, I was unimpressed with the other food. I got the Swedish meatballs and my potatoes were cold. I don't like my food to be really hot, but even this was too cold for me. Also, I learned that I don't like Aquavit (the drink)!

🤮

Soooo disappointed!

1/5 by Stina H on 02/10/2023

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 🤮

😍

Came in December 2022.

5/5 by Gab G. on 02/01/2023

My boyfriend and I started with the Aurora melonalis and Beet me up Scotty! cocktails, which were good if not amazing, and did the chef's tasting menu. I would say the three highlights were:+ Potato chip caviar potato course+ King crab from Norway - this ruined me for all other crab+ THE BIRDS NEST DESSERT - insaneSalt as a take-home gift was also perfect. Execution was fantastic overall.

😍

Everything about our dining experience was perfect.

5/5 by Craig B. on 01/29/2023

I would award the coveted third Michelin star if I could.

Really solid food that served as an elegant demonstration

5/5 by Jinghang Z. on 01/25/2023

Really solid food that served as an elegant demonstration of how the skillful use of acidic ingredients can elevate a dish. The caviar and potato course is a strong contender for the best thing I've ever eaten. Wasn't a fan (despite the hype) of the bird's nest dessert; felt like it was too busy. Nevertheless, it didn't detract much from an otherwise outstanding experience.

😍

Absolutely stunning.

5/5 by Vivian W. on 01/23/2023

Aquavit located in midtown has a subtle elegance that can't be ignored with its classy vibes. We came to celebrate a birthday. We made reservations and was seated immediately. The hustle and bustle of the open kitchen was great to watch but you can barely hear it through the glass windows and doors. There was more servers than guest and you felt very well taken care of. Every dish was provided with much thought and flavors were brought in together harmoniously. The menu was mostly seafood with the exception of the lamb. Every seafood piece was fresh and the lamb was not game-y at all. One of us opted for no lamb and got the duck instead. The biggest surprise was our dessert! The artic bird's nest was a dream, balancing the perfect textures and tasted to create an exquisite illusion with an indescribable tasting profile. 10/10!

I attended Aquavit for a wine dinner in the group dining

5/5 by Chris W. on 01/15/2023

I attended Aquavit for a wine dinner in the group dining room. The food was stellar, particularly the fluke crudo (which was swimming in a deliciously bright citrus sauce), Amish chicken, and the most deliciously crispy duck breast I can remember eating. Everything was packed with flavor, but nothing was heavy. One of the elite spots in the city right now.

😍

Lovely Food

5/5 by Emma P on 01/06/2023

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.

😒

Dramatically overpriced

3/5 by Colby7777 on 12/21/2022

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!

😍

Perfection

5/5 by person n on 12/16/2022

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

😍

As expected, flawless

5/5 by Lovetotravel147321 on 08/22/2022

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.

😍

Innovative food, drinks and experience.

5/5 by matelajolla on 06/14/2022

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're not sure how often the menu changes but we both felt

5/5 by Susan F. on 04/03/2022

We're not sure how often the menu changes but we both felt the dinner we had was the best we've had to date. The Chef's Tasting Menu was spectacular. It's not often that we get a tasting menu and love every course. That's exactly what happened to us. The flavor profiles were wonderful. The food was memorable. The service was friendly. The room is beautiful. They have an a la carte menu that looks great in their lounge that we want to try. Thank you to the entire staff for a great evening

🤢

So so disappointed.

2/5 by Dorothy M. on 04/03/2022

Not a 2 star, not a 1 star, barely average among New York restaurants. We sat in the bar and ordered the abbreviated menu (like we have done at 11 Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Per Se, etc) We entered to an odd trio of staffers loitering around the hostess station who failed to properly greet us . Next up was an uninformed and unhelpful "server" who we initially believed to be the busboy bc he barely said a word to us, after bringing the bread basket and herring trio, he didn't check on us for 30 min. We finally had to flag him down to bring the next course. It was now 10pm and not at all busy. Herring trio meh, served with cubes of a decent cheese and unseasoned boiled small potatoes. Nothing elevated or special about this dish. Swedish meatballs surprisingly flavorless gravy, the char cooked correctly but drowned in a watery horseradish sauce. Just not even in the same universe of service, attention to detail or cooking we had enjoyed even at the superb 1 star Tempura Matsui earlier that day. It's an insult to the countless other restaurants in NY with better food and to the outstanding waitstaff they employ that this place has been given the 2 star distinction.

😍

Absolutely phenomenal execution.

5/5 by Namir S. on 04/03/2022

Started with shrimp skagen toast and hamachi crudo. Both fairly simple dishes but just so on point. The flavors and textures were just right. The flavor in the shrimp skagen toast honestly surprised me with richness and depth. The hamachi crudo was clean but not particularly noteworthy. Cod for the main was good, but left room for the masterpiece. The Arctic Birds Nest. Truly worth the hype. The combinations of flavors, textures, colors, temperatures. It's masterful and I'd come back just for that if it were an option.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
