serindeMet M & K and sundry others for lunch at Aquavit (requires Flash). In addition to haute cuisine a la Sweden, they make their own flavor-infused aquavits, which we had a round of before lunch: raspberry-lime-ginger (mine), grapefruit-lemongrass, orange blossom-lychee, pineapple-basil, and pear-vanilla-black pepper (which latter was, I think, the winner, though others may disagree).
My lunch: herring sampler (OMFG good), salsify noodles in saffron-coconut broth (funky, but nice), and mint-chocolate mousse with blood orange sauce (lovely). We freely traded bites around the table, and nothing I tasted was less than really good; the seared scallops were particularly stand-out, as was the venison and dumplings, but my hands-down favorite was the Beef Rydborg.
Would eat there again and again, if I was made of money.
