    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.

    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 on January 19, 2025
    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.
