    The space is beautiful and the food is delicious. Plus we were celebrating our anniversary and they really made it special (I.e., the hostess greeted us with congrats, the waiter did as well and mentioned it kindly throughout the meal, and they gave us a complimentary dessert). Overall great experience.

    Aqimero has potential and some standout elements, but the overall experience felt uneven. For the price, we expected more consistency and a stronger culinary execution. It’s worth a visit for the ambiance and drinks, but we hope the team fine-tunes the service and kitchen output to match the restaurant’s premium branding.

    Menu was kind of limited. Many things on menu were a little too spicy for us.

    The location in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Philadelphia is beautiful - if you are early then enjoy a drink at the lobby bar! I had the tuna steak, my husband had the short ribs and my son had the burger - everything was delicious! The cocktails were incredible - I love the 1976, a twist on a French 75! We splurged for dessert and it was totally worth it!
    AqimeroResponded 5 days ago
    Michelle! Thank you for sharing such a glowing review of your experience at the Ritz Carlton Philadelphia lobby. We’re so excited to hear how much you enjoyed every aspect of your visit, from the stunning location to the delicious meals and, of course, the cocktails. The 1976 is a favorite around here, and it’s wonderful to see it left a lasting impression. It sounds like you made the most of your evening, especially with that indulgent dessert—we completely agree, it’s always worth it. We hope you will all be back soon for another amazing time!

    Food was pretty good, but it kept getting cold because of a draft in the room... Branzino was very mediocre, not enough flavor (spice, salt, it was bland but had a nice smokey taste) Our waiter forgot out utensils (twice, once at dessert also), gave us napkins instead of a dining cloth, and kept having to ask for water... The basics were not met for an upscale restaurant.
    AqimeroResponded on 22 March 2025
    Hi Francis,We're truly sorry to hear about your experience at Aqimero. We pride ourselves on our food quality and it sounds like we missed the mark during your visit. We apologize for the discomfort due to the cold room and the lapse in service. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely address these issues with our team to ensure better experiences in the future.
