    The Pork Belly Mac and Cheese was a big disappointment. It was virtually bland noodles in heavy cream with slivers of pancetta hidden throughout. Almost inedible. At $22, I expected the dish to be on par with Ocean Prime’s Black Truffle Mac n Cheese at $19 or Double Eagle’s Lobster Mac at $26.
    AqimeroResponded 1 day ago
    Hey Jordan, thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Aqimero. We're glad to hear that you found our service excellent, but we're sorry to hear that our Pork Belly Mac and Cheese didn't wow you! We take pride in our dishes and it's disheartening to hear that our efforts fell short this time. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future.

    While the place is beautiful and the food and service very good, I did not learn that we had no reserved seats for NYE until 2 days before the event. The price was high for no seats and not being informed of that before purchase was misleading at best. Also no dance floor and elevator type music ensures we will not be doing this again.
    AqimeroResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Jeanne! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful ambiance, delicious dishes, and service, but we’re truly sorry that your experience fell short in other areas. We understand your concerns regarding the seating arrangements and lack of communication about this prior to the event. This certainly wasn’t our intention, and we’ll be reviewing our event descriptions to ensure all details are communicated more clearly in the future. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance our events to better align with our guests' expectations.
