Awesome, precisely prepared, exquisitely plated Scandinavian food. We loved the Nordic seafood with butter-poached lobster, seared diver scallops and Montauk squid ($40).

Order a manhattan at Aquavit. Best Manhattan in Manhattan. Chase it with a Lychee Akvavit. Stumble home.

Youre not here for fusion food, pal. Get the herring plate, a Carling and a shot of aquavit. Some sweetbreads to follow, a piece of char. Skohl!

Joey Joey Joey-he's an amazing bartender. He knows my special (Spiced Mango Margarita) but tonight he's going to make me try something different he created (Cucumber The Vibrant) :-)

Absolutely phenomenal private dining experience with impeccable service. Steak tartare was the best I've had; rye was fantastic as was the Swedish meatball & gravlax. Fav dessert: vanil panna cotta!!

Have a flight of Aquavit, a few recommendations: Fig & Cardamom, Anise, Caraway & Fennel, & of course Lingonberry.

Go to this Scandinavian restaurant for lunch and get the shrimp toast and the Swedish meatballs with lots of aquavit, of course.

A brilliant restaurant, everything about it was absolutely perfect, a truly "Michelin star" experience.

Say "Tack" to your wait staff (i.e., the Swedish way to say "Thank You")... They're a great crew!

A beautifully designed restaurant with impeccable service. Check out their daily bar specials we like the Oysters & Champagne or the Sliders & Beer.

Aquavit has two areas: a more affordable cafe at the entrance and a much more expensive dining area. Do not hesitate to eating at the cafe: the experience it is pure Aquavit and you will save money.

Try the HAY-SMOKED SWEETBREADS with parsnip trio, grilled bread and apple cider.

The aquavit with the mango, lime, and chili pepper is not to be missed

Go to the Cafe. Try the salmon. It sounds "standard", but is so high a level you will think you've never had it before. Also order the Arctic Circle for desert (off-menu from the main dining room).

Try the Venison and the Arctic circle!

The food is good, but I've always had an exceptionally great time at the bar. House-infused aquavit is great straight up or mixed into brilliantly balanced cocktails.
