Aquavit has long been an incubator of talent, from JBF Award winner Marcus Samuelsson to all the talented chefs who followed. All eyes are now on current chef Emma Bengtsson, who has earned the restaurant a slew of accolades, including a second Michelin star, for her sophisticated Swedish dishes. Tonight Bengtsson showcases her deft skills with plates like Quail Confit on Toasted Sourdough; Cold-Smoked Lobster with Wheatgrass, Elderflower, and Ginger; and Cured Rainbow Char with Ramps, Rhubarb, and Strawberries.
