Aquarelle seafood & mediterranean east village restaurant NYC

Walid took amazing care of us. He was so hospitable, professional and charming! We had a fabulous time in our second visit. The squid ink pasta was so delicious, as were the hamachi ceviche and tuna tartar. The space is beautiful and we loved the energy of the team. We can’t wait for our next visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a fantastic dinner at AQUARELLE NYC! Came here with friends and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The tartare trio and truffle flatbread were delicious starters, and the crusted branzino and seafood risotto were absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The caviar bombs with prosecco made the night extra fun, and the lava cake was the perfect sweet finish. Great service, beautiful ambiance, and a very special vibe. Highly recommend! ✨🥂🍰

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Spent my one year anniversary here and they treated us like royalty gave us 2 glasses of champagne each free dessert and a tour of their beautiful restaurant. Victor was a great host and gave us the tour. The waiter was so friendly and gave did a great job with the salt baked fish. If I could give a better rating I would 10/10 recommend.

I visited here for their Valentine’s Day service. I didn’t even know that there was a special menu. I was looking forward to trying the regular menu in particular, Squid ink pasta. The atmosphere matched the occasion and I was pleasantly surprised by that. I had reserved a table so seating was quite quick. The waiter could’ve been a bit more attentive as the drink order was messed up so that set the tone for the night. I got the crab cakes which were really good and unfortunately the portion size was very small. Bite size pieces. That also took 40 mins or so to come out. The main was the grilled Salmon which was exceptional. The NY Cheesecake for desert. I’ll definitely be back to try their regular menu and hopefully the service from the server will be a bit better!

Came here to celebrate a friend's 35th birthday this past weekend. At first, I was a little nervous because the streets were still snow-covered, so there was absolutely no street parking available. We had to park about a mile up and Uber down to the restaurant, making us a few minutes late for our reservation, but thankfully, they were understanding. Our group consisted of nine women and we requested to be in the downstairs Mermaid area. Everything was so nice! Beautiful layout, modern design, very unique. My only qualm was it was absolutely freezing down there and the drinks were a tad slow to come out. However, in terms of the food and hospitality, everything was excellent. The managers were all so nice and helpful, and the food was very well flavored. I especially liked the seafood flatbread which comes topped with shrimp, calamari, and mussels. They actually gave us one flatbread with tomato sauce, a the other without. I'm not sure if that was intentional or by accident, but I actually preferred the one with the sauce, though both were very good. In the future, I would definitely order it without the muscles, as a matter of preference. For dessert we finished off with chocolate lava cake, and champagne. On our way out the door, we had one last round of drinks and the bartender, Alexander and manager, Gael, were super friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return in the future!! Thanks so much!
