I also live in the neighborhood and walk by the restaurant every day. The door was open today so I walked in to take a peak. The restaurant is beautiful (earthy and grounded with muted Scandanavian colors). The AQ Kafe staff -- a nice looking, friendly and "international" group of people -- was preparing for the opening and they invitred me to taste some of the offerings. I can tell you that AQ Kafe has "best in the world" gravalox; Sweadish meat balls that are actually better than the fabulous meatballs served at Aquavit (the 5 Star restaurant that the AQ Kafe team owns); and the breads and pastries (all made in house) that were just outstanding. And the coffee -- wow! But here is the great news: the price point for a meal of this quality is really reasonable. Move aside Le Pain Quitotian. This will be a home run and it's great news for the neighborhood! I bet it will open on Monday!!! Hi. I also live in the neighborhood and walk by the restaurant every day.

I would be astounded if they open by Monday since they are nowhere near complete.
