I went to Aquavit for Restaurant Week. It was bomb-diggity. Great all-around experience. I’ve been recommending it to all my RW’ing friends.

@ dubs, you are not alone. But you can’t just come out and say it. There is an unwritten law that a person can’t insult Marcus Samuelsson. Just happily hand him your money.

Zach… I would boot Smorgas from Scan House anyway and move FIKA in – better food, lower prices, hotter staff

Aquavit’s food is awesome – esp. the festival buffets

I thought aquavit was great. I have friends who love aquavit and go there frequently.

Since we’re on the subject of swedish food, am I the only one that thinks the food at Aquavit is gross? I don’t even remember what I ordered but I just remember it being very unpleasant.

I didn’t know they had another location.
I work really close to their Park ave location.
I should give them a try…to see if their meatballs are different than the ones they serve at Ikea.

@wayne – sorry if it was confusing… the Smorgaschef in the Scandinavian House is still open. Their 2nd Ave. location closed.

Excellent AQ, gone… Marginal Smorgas, gone…

Maybe Scandanavian House will do the right thing and lease the space to the real swedes of FIKA for a reasonable rate?

Dare we dream?
