Aquavit New York Reviews from The Last Year
I would have given Aquavit five stars, but I must restrict
I would have given Aquavit five stars, but I must restrict it to four solely due to the level of service we encountered. Candidly, I could consider lowering it by another half-star, but that wouldn't be fair since the food was truly exceptional. In the politest way possible, the service for a two-star Michelin restaurant felt amateurish. Food: We selected the Chef's Tasting Menu because, let's be honest, we wanted the "Arctic Bird's Nest" dessert, which was one of the most beautiful and delicious desserts I have ever eaten. We were also celebrating a birthday, and the accompanying celebratory cake was equally delectable. Setting aside the exceptional desserts, the Chefs Tasting Menu at Aquavit was a triumph, showcasing a breadth of flavors and culinary craftsmanship that stood impressively on its own. Every dish we enjoyed at Aquavit was a refined expression of Nordic cuisine, elevated by inventive and tasteful additions that took the flavors to new heights. For instance, the Langoustine with Meyer lemon featured a delicate shrimp "cracker" on top that was unlike anything I've ever tasted. The caviar and potato dish and the red snapper with apple both showcased culinary elegance, using the freshest ingredients to highlight their natural flavors. Each dish and its elements were thoughtfully paired with sauces and garnishes that subtly enhanced the natural flavors without overpowering them. And the BREAD! I find myself wishing for a small bakery attached to the restaurant so that I can indulge in their exquisite bread daily. Chef Emma Bengtsson has established herself as an exceptional culinary talent, which is evident in Aquaivits' culinary offerings. As the first Swedish female chef to earn two Michelin stars and only the second in the U.S. to do so, Chef Bengtsson masterfully combines traditional techniques with bold, contemporary flavors. Her approach creates a Nordic dining experience deeply rooted in tradition yet strikingly modern. We didn't explore the full range of their cocktail offerings, opting instead for classic martinis, which were excellent. We also enjoyed a few rounds of Aquavit, "water of life," which I highly recommend trying. Service: As I mentioned, the service did not meet the expectations for a restaurant with two Michelin stars. This was not just a one-off instance. Everyone lacked polish, from the check-in staff to the bartenders (we had a few drinks before dinner in the bar room) and the wait staff in the main dining room. Specifically, the front-of-house staff was not responsive to some requests and was slightly awkward. The bartenders were not the friendliest group. In the main dining room, it felt like every waiter was on their first day. Despite the shortcomings in service, the remarkable quality of the dishes at Aquavit ensures that I would not hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant to others. The need for service improvement is mentioned not as a deterrent but as a constructive suggestion to align the entire experience with the high standards set by their culinary offerings.
The dining room is stunning, and I love that you can see
The dining room is stunning, and I love that you can see into the kitchen as they are preparing and plating everything. It was very cool to see Chef Emma Bengtsson at work. The dishes were bright and delicious, and a little surprising (in the best way possible). Service was friendly and personable.
We came here for lunch tasting menu.
The service was top notch, we received lots of snacks and gifts. All the courses were well-paced and delicious. The seafood dishes were fresh. You need to get the artic bird nest, it was a masterpiece and all the flavors went so well with each other. I would definitely recommend?
A bit more old school Michelin restaurant in decor and
A bit more old school Michelin restaurant in decor and service but that's not a complaint. The food was EXCELLENT the staff was perfection, I liked the classic modernist Scandinavian decor. Personally I think this is underrated and often forgotten when people are thinking of the best restaurants in the city. Check it out for some amazing seafood and you won't be disappointed.
Food, service, ambience.
..all were exceptional and far above most previous dining experiences. We had the chef's tasting menu along with the wine pairing and thoroughly enjoyed the almost three hour experience.
Aquavit is exceptional in every way.
My husband and I went for their lunch for our wedding anniversary and it blew us away. The lunch included yellowtail & pear, cod & cauliflower, beef & black trumpet, and arctic bird's nest for dessert. We added the cheese board for an extra price. Every bite was outstanding - so fresh, creative, and flavorful. We really were exported to Scandinavia during our meal. My husband got a cocktail and I got a mocktail. Both delicious. Their decor is minimalist, sharp, understated, and neutral, and I enjoyed it. Service was on top of everything. I loved the open kitchen concept. They gave us a goody bag with smoked sea salt to use for cooking. Deserving of all of the awards and accolades. Such a standout in the expensive restaurants category!
Where do I begin?!?! We recently dined at Aquavit, and it
Where do I begin?!?! We recently dined at Aquavit, and it was an unforgettable experience! To start, they graciously treated us to complimentary champagne to celebrate our special occasion. Then, they surprised us with delightful bite-sized appetizers that only heightened our anticipation for what was to come. Opting for the chef's tasting menu, we savored every dish that graced our table, but the scallops pudding and wagyu steak stole the show for me. And let's not forget about the dessert - it was a masterpiece! Before indulging in the main dessert, they presented a whimsical lollipop forest to cleanse our palates, adding an extra touch of fun to the evening. The highlight was undoubtedly the main dessert: a stunning bird's nest adorned with chocolate and candies. Without a doubt, Aquavit is a must-visit establishment!
Aquavit is the place where dill and pickled vegetables run
Aquavit is the place where dill and pickled vegetables run the show. As a Scandinavian restaurant, I understand the somewhat heavy usage of dill. Nonetheless, the small dining room smelled amazing with views of the kitchen. The tasting menu was not too quick and not too long as it was about 2 hours for 8 courses. The main winners of the night were the scallop foam dish that tasted spectacular as it hit almost all of the flavor profiles. The star of the day was the bird's nest and it was crazy. A fun presentation with delicious flavors and the egg almost tasted like ice cream. The duck was good as it has a nice char. I wasn't a fan of the sun choke with the lobster but it did not ruin my experience. The black bass was delicious too. The yellowtail and pear were refreshing as well. All in all, Aquavit offered a fantastic tasting menu that wasn't too heavy as I left content but not overly full. Also, Aquavit makes in house aquavit but just watch out because it is strong. A memorable experience that matched expectations for a 2 star.
We had lunch here and it was delightful.
They have a price point that seem more accessible for a 2 michelin star restaurant. They offer a three course lunch here for eighty-five (two course for seventy five). It's a nice place to go for a more casual Michelin level dining experience.
Deeply enjoyable Michelin 2 Star restaurant at an
Deeply enjoyable Michelin 2 Star restaurant at an accessible price point. The 5 course tasting did not cost much more than a meal at a steakhouse featuring a decent bottle of wine. Aquavit is a beautiful restaurant and all of the preparations, in a seafood-forward format, were memorable. The corner table for 6 here was really neat. I'd just note that the pomp and drama you'd find a more traditional French Michelin experience were largely (but not entirely) absent. This is more like Elske in Chicago than Le Louis XV in Monaco. And, considering the culture reflected, I'd think rightfully so.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
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!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
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.
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?
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?
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.
