    Went here for Valentine’s Day. A bit disappointed that the food wasn’t tastier for this type of hotel as well as the prices. Branzino was dry with a Light flavor. Side of Mac & cheese was totally flavorless. Salmon was just ok. This is not the standard for Ritz Carlton restaurants. I would return only for drinks and light bites. The atmosphere and Ambience are beautiful. Service was very good.
    AqimeroResponded today
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us following your Valentine’s Day visit. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful ambiance and atmosphere of our restaurant, as well as the attentive service from our team. Creating a welcoming and memorable dining space is always a priority for us. That said, we’re truly sorry to learn that the food was less than perfect. Your comments about the Branzino, mac & cheese, and salmon are very important to us, and we’ll be sharing them with our culinary team to ensure we consistently deliver the high standards that guests expect from The Ritz-Carlton. It is our hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best regards, The Management Team at Aqimero

    The prix fixe brunch is fun! Unlimited sparkling wine beverages and a fine selection of apps, mains, and extras along the way. Drinks were slow to come, but arrived over time. Food delivery was fast (first deconstructed yogurt parfait and pasties) then paced slow after that - just right for afternoon brunch! Two small complaints but nothing huge- the server missed a few small items (we should have been given spoons in my opinion to eat the parfait. Had to ask after eating it with our forks. And I’m certain the sparkling wine contained sulfites - I don’t react to Prosecco but definitely got flushed due to the sulfites in this wine. Overall I’ll definitely do it again for a special occasion. We were both “stuffed” and still had food to go home. Like any red-blooded American I embrace more is better. Ha!
    AqimeroResponded today
    Thank you for sharing, Patrick! It's so rewarding to see how much you loved our prix fixe brunch—unlimited sparkling wine beverages and a delicious selection of dishes make for a great way to spend an afternoon, don’t they? It’s fantastic to know you loved the pacing of the meal, and we’re so glad you left feeling "stuffed" with food to take home. We appreciate your feedback about the spoons and the sparkling wine. We’re always looking for ways to refine the experience, and your input is noted. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another special occasion. Cheers to good food, sparkling drinks, and indulgent brunches!

    When the food arrived, it was cold. We told the manager that the food arrived cold and her response was lackluster and slightly apologetic. The food was taken back to the kitchen to be reheated and returned cold, as it was originally. The food was subpar and the whole dining experience was not what we expected, given the restaurants reputation. We will not be dining at Aqimero again.
    AqimeroResponded today

    Had a good time at Aquimero. I’ve been a few times but this was my first time getting a table, I usually sit at the bar. Ambiance is always great, I had the charred Branzino which was really good. I also had 2 of their cocktails called almost healthy, that was really refreshing. I love to see mocktails on menus, there’s more drink options the better! Overall, dinner was great and I’ll be back to try more options.
    AqimeroResponded on 7 February 2025
    Wow, Tiona! It's so exciting to hear how much you loved the charred Branzino and found our "Almost Healthy" cocktails refreshing. Creating an innovative menu with options everyone can enjoy, including mocktails, is something we’re truly proud of. We can’t wait to welcome you back and introduce you to more of the immaculate flavors we have to offer!
