My husband (a hard-core seafood lover) and I (not a big fan of seafood) dined at AquaGrill last Saturday night on their terrace. I often find seafood dishes either bland or greasy --not at AquaGrill. I had the tuna w/jasmine rice cakes in peanut sauce that was mouthwateringly delicious. My husband had the cod w/ mushroom sauce that was amazing! Our French waitress was the sweetest and most knowledgeable server I have ever encountered. Delightful! The manager (in pigtails w/ribbons) was also very helpful and charming but not overly solicitous. She suggested a creme brule w/armangnac prunes, ""I know it sounds odd but it's very sophisticated."" Sophisticated it was and incredible! My husband has dragged me to Le Bernadin (bland w/snooty service) and Duck's (Red Lobster?) and Blue Water Grill (loud) but now I'LL be the one suggesting we go out for seafood --only at Aquagrill!
Pros: amazing food, amazing service, comfortable decor
Cons: 6th ave can be loud, n/a, n/a
