Excellent Seafood, Service – Went here on a Friday night. Did not have reservation, but the two of us were seated right away at 9:30. Cocktails are served in two sizes regular and modern; modern being served in oversized martini glass and are perfectly prepared. Waiter was knowledgable and friendly. He explained the different varieties of oysters (they have over 20) and put together an assortment for me based on my taste. We also had the lobster salad for an appetizer which was expensive ($23) but contained lots of lobster m... read more
never again – Went with my family to celebrate my sister's graduation, and was never seated. We watched for over an hour as parties our size, without reservations, were seated before us. Incredibly insulting. I'e never seen anything like it, and I'll never go back there.
Consistently Great Seafood – I need to express to everyone who might read this review how wonderfully consistent the quality of seafood at Aquagrill has been since I first ate there in 1998. I have never had anything less than a superlative meal on any of my visits to this restaurant over the past seven years. I've encouraged numerous friends and co-workers to visit the restaurant over the years; not one person who appreciates seafood has ever had anything less than glowing words for the food.
good place for weekend brunch – our quartet came here for sunday brunch. my friend specifically wanted to try their oysters, and was pleased to see over 20 varieties listed. we tried 3 different kinds of oysters per the waiters helpful recommendations. the oysters (ranging from $2.50 - $2.85) were fresh and briny. we each ordered various seafood-themed brunch entrees as well. my friend & i had rare grilled yellowfin tuna sandwiches served with salad ($12). the tuna came slightly seared and there were no burnt edges to mask t... read more
Seafood Heaven – I adore this place. I've never been there and had less than amazing food. The oyster selection is great, and the entrees are delicious. And by delicious I mean, wake up days later savoring the flavors delicious. It's exactly the type of high end cuisine without going over the top that makes this place a must. Not to mention that the service ranges from very good to excellent. I've never met anyone who wasnt a huge fan, and frankly it's better than other, more expensive, seafood places in the city. I'm not on... read more
Disappointing – People must give this restaurant high ratings because they think they're supposed to. I was extremely disappointed. I ordered grilled pompano (one of my favorite fish), but it was overcooked and flabby, and tasted like it had been sitting around under heat lamps for a while. The sides were also overcooked and had a distinct "reheated" quality. It certainly wasn't what I expected from the second most highly rated NY seafood restaurant in Zagats. Add to that very questionable service - I was with a large party,... read more
they made my night – food? A+ service and friendliness? A+ was planning a party for my staff, and was treated rudely by another restaurant when trying to add more people to reservation (a simple "no" would have worked). so cancelled on the spot. aquagrill was recommended by friends. they accomodated us at the last minute, made a vegan dish as a special requirement, and the food & service were tremendous. whatever the owners do when they hire staff, they're doing it very well. i'm a big fan.
City's Best Seafood – Aquagrill has been my favorite restaurant for 6 years because of its warm, friendly staff, happening and romantic ambiance and most importantly its commitment to impeccable food and wine standards. Tonite I was once again amazed by this restaurant. They have added a fantastic entree, barramundi with oxtail. It may sound incongruous but it is sheer harmony and perfect for the season. They just keep getting better!
OVERBOOKERS – What a shame, use to be so well run when the owner was on the floor. They were very quick to say yes to an 8:30 reservation. We arrived and waited, and waited and waited some more along with about twenty other unhappy patrons. The gentleman at the door was extremely unsympathetic! Reservations mean the same as walkins. After waiting for too long we went next door to Fiama and had an amazing professionally handled meal. Keep that in mind while you're standing in Aquagrill's doorway. They blew their second chance... read more
