Aquagrill hold a special place in my heart as being my first restaurant experience in NYC. Whimsy aside, it stands out as being consistently excellent; busy yet comfortable, innovative yet homely. A glass of champagne at the bar sets the scene, and the food is delicious. The tuna tartare starter stood out, as did the cod main course. The wine list is surprisingly reasonable and the service is friendly. The tables are a little too close together, but when the food is this good it's difficult to be distracted.
Pros: Fresh fish, Good wine list
Cons: Too many tables
