   Great service at Aqimero. Servers were friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. Tuna ceviche and grilled avocado were tasty and well executed. The rib eye was technically cooked to my med-rare order but would have liked to see a thicker cut of meat (was probably at or slightly under 1 inch thick), and could've had a better sear. I'm guessing the thinner cut made achieving a proper sear difficult without overcooking the steak. I acknowledge that this isn't a steakhouse, but at $85 I would hope to get close to a steakhouse level cook on a thick cut. Overall it was still very tasty because steak, and was a good meal with a bit of upside potential on the steak.

   I’ll be honest, I didn’t do much research before booking this reservation. I was a little disappointed by the fact it’s seemingly in the lobby of the Ritz rather than in its own room off the lobby. Due to the open-concept plan we were still getting a stiff breeze whenever someone would enter despite us being against one of the far sides of the restaurant. The service also wasn’t the fastest, which I wasn’t too upset about as I was celebrating my anniversary and enjoyed the extended time to chat. The people next to us just ordered a number appetizers for their meal and probably got out in under an hour. The food was the best part- I really enjoyed my appetizer, main, and dessert. I might go back but I am not rushing to do so.

   Outstanding presentation and creativity. When the porterhouse was served tasty but overcooked and dry the staff were very accommodating and attentive. Being off of the busy and loud lobby was a bit loud but overall an excellent experience.

   Went for drinks before a show, and it was terribly slow. Took 35+ minutes to get a glasses of wine. Beautiful space but not worth the slow service and expensive drinks.

   The hostess never told our server we were sat so we waited 15-20 minutes to even be greeted or given waters. The waitress was wonderful though.

    Great restaurant with excellent food and good service. Only downside is if you're looking for more private dining. They do have a side area of the lobby that is a little more private than the open area but generally it's not private. Best for groups or more social gatherings, less so for a couples night out. Quality all around though, definitely will be back.

    Hello Jon! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We're excited to hear you enjoyed our food and service—it means a lot to us that you had a great experience. We truly appreciate your note about private dining, and we’ll definitely keep it in mind as we look for ways to improve. Our space is designed to encourage a social atmosphere, but we understand how important privacy can be for certain occasions. We're glad you found the side area to be a bit more intimate and hope it worked for your visit. We're so pleased to hear you'll be coming back, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
