Aquagrill

Aquagrill Review

Owned by a husband-and-wife team, Aquagrill is a popular SoHo standard. The decor's a bit tired, but there's lots of room and warm, welcoming service. The lively neighborhood eatery makes its own pastries and baked goods—including the bread for its brunchtime challah French toast with cinnamon apples and pecan butter. Fans rave about the lunchtime $21.50 prix-fixe Shucker Special—a half-dozen oysters with homemade soup or chowder and a salad. Dinner specialties include roasted Dungeness crab cake napoleon with sun-dried tomato oil, and falafel-crusted salmon. Try the the chocolate tasting plate consisting of a dark molten chocolate cake with milk chocolate ice cream and white chocolate mousse.
