Aquavit

Editorial Review

Adventurous twists on often-bland Scandinavian. Herring and gravlax are accounted for, but tandoori-smoked char with goat-cheese parfait and Osetra caviar is the real star. Redone space warmly embraces the future with dark wood and sleek, minimalist presentation. Those who aren't up for power-dining in the main room nosh on herring tacos in the café. Stunning presentation and clever staff complete the picture. Finish with the tart apple sorbet.
