Aquavit, the premier Scandinavian restaurant in the city, has been carefully designed to impart a sense of serenity. The dining room is set in the soaring atrium of a lavish, converted townhouse that was once owned by Nelson Rockefeller. The steady splashes of the two-story waterfall transform what could be cacophonous acoustics into a pleasant quiet. Chef Marcus Samuelsson is heralded for his stellar herring plate, gravlax, and prune-crusted Arctic venison with potato-pear strudel. The food is unusual and deftly prepared, and the service is gracious. A five-course tasting menu is available for $75, with an additional $25 charge for five-course wine accompaniment. There is a more casual, less expensive cafe upstairs.
Focusing on an eclectic American and Continental cuisine, this is a café. Expect the average entrée to cost over $20, and there`s a prix-fixe menu at $58 per person.
