It is a perfect space. Food exceptional. Drinks exceptional. Service exceptional. Ambiance is overall exceptional (depending on the specific seating). You get what you pay for and it's worth every penny.
From the moment we stepped into Aqimero at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Philly, we were treated to an experience like no other. The customer service was impeccable, with every detail attended to from start to finish. The food was simply amazing. We opted for the four-course endless bubbles brunch, and it was more than worth it. The crab cake Benedict was a standout, absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. What really impressed us was the unbeatable value. For the quality of food and service, the price was incredibly reasonable. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening with your significant other or a fun brunch with friends, Aqimero is the place to be. Dress up and prepare to be wowed. Trust me, you will not regret the experience. Highly recommended!

Angela, the manager always goes above and beyond to ensure we have the best possible dining experience. She is truly a gem. The menu offers a wide variety of Latin influenced cuisine and the food is consistently outstanding. The service is always attentive but never solicitous, clearly everyone has been well and thoughtfully trained. We will continue to dine here, and recommend, based on every experience we've had at this restaurant.
Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Aquimero, a Latin cuisine gem. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality. The food was incredibly tasty, showcasing the rich flavors of Latin cuisine. The attentive server ensured my glass was never empty, providing quick refills with a smile. As a delightful surprise, they even presented me with a complimentary birthday cake, adding an extra touch of sweetness to the evening. Overall, Aquimero exceeded my expectations in every aspect, making it a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend to others.
Aqimero
Start to finish Aqimero was a great experience. Our server Julio was great and made sure we were happy. Our food was amazing. The atmosphere was quiet and wonderful. We did not feel rushed and enjoyed our meal with the occasional check in to make sure we were well taken care of.
I booked Aqimero on a whim and it more than exceeded me and my family's expectations. Julio, our server, was friendly and accommodating. The food was awesome, though I wish some of the appetizer portions were larger (the steak tartar, tuna ceviche) for the price. All of the entrees were beautifully presented and delicious. I ordered a lobster tail; it was cooked to perfection and 8 oz! We ordered many appetizers, so it was nice that I didn't have to order an entire entree with sides to fill me up. They also have a late night bar menu with apps, as a note for the future. We will be back!

Great experience!

Food was great, service was great. Loved everything about this except seeing a small pet dog at an adjacent table, on a bench seat next to his/her owner person being hand fed food from the table.

I usually don't write reviews (bad or good), but received an email asking for feedback, and had such a great experience that I thought it was necessary. The food and drinks were incredible, but what made the experience A+ was our server, Isaiah. Isaiah is exactly what all fine dining servers should strive to be... attentive, aware, knowledgeable and outgoing. Great food + Great Service = We will be back.... a lot. Thanks, Robert AKA SB Dunk High Tiffany's

Memorable brunch because my wife and I agreed that we had the worst cappuccino ever: cold, seemed like just frothy milk and no there was no taste of coffee. Out of politeness to the servers and to our guests we just let it be.
My wife and I had a wonderful time , the food was very unusual but absolutely fantastic full of flavors , our bill was peanuts for such fantastic feast in a killer atmosphere as we would expect nothing less since it's in the Ritz

The Ritz lobby is stunning, but the drink I ordered came with a cheap corona instead of the promised local draft with no explanation as to why. Hard to get the waiters attention. The facade of fancy is broken in the outdated bathroom in need of

phenomenal from start to finish..I was running behind due to trying to find parking/traffic and the host was very helpful and greeted me with a smile and a compliment. Then we had Rachel as our waitress and I must say she made our rainy evening go from drag to marvelous I travel alot and I love to indulge in fine dining weather abroad or local and to be honest She was actually the best waitress that I have had in a long time. Rachel was very knowledgeable about both cocktail and dinner menus she gave suggestions, checked in often, and even helped me find non dairy items she is truly awesome and an asset to aqimero and I look forward to visiting her again. Jules was also great she introduced herself to upon arival and even checked back in when things calmed down to see how everything went and even had small talk with us.we are already planning to visit again.

I was excited to try Aqimero after a friend showed me a video of his dinner selection that was an enchanting presentation. Learning it was located in the Ritz Carlton was a bonus as well. I immediately expected great ambiance, food and impeccable service.The entrance from street level into Aqimero is breathtaking. The hostess was friendly and advised she would be able to seat us when the third person in our party arrived. That was perfectly fine. We headed to the lounge area and grabbed a seat. Within a few minutes, a very nice server approached us and we ordered cocktails. I had the Espresso Martini and my friend ordered a Spicy Marqarita. Both drinks were satisfying and the tab was closed.We were seated in the bar area and advised of our waiters name. Another nice server offered us water and advised of the specials. However, after an excessive amount of time had passed, I went to the hostess stand to advise our waiter never approached our table. Shortly after, a young lady came to our table and informed us the person we were told would be our waiter went home and she would assist instead.We started placing our orders and one friend asked if they had salad. She was informed the did not. (that's odd for a restaurant not to offer a salad). She then ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and a Lemon Drop Martini.I ordered the pancakes and since I had looked at their online menu, I asked if they had bacon and eggs. The waitress said they did. (why would these items not be on the printout Brunch menu)? I ordered those as well as a Peach Bellini.The waitress brought the Lemon Drop Martini and an Espresso Martini. I advised her I ordered the Peach Bellini. She took the Espresso Martini back and placed it back in the area for servers. Then there was a wait for the Peach Bellini.My pancakes, bacon and eggs were all very good. My friend and I were both completely deflated to see there were 2 small box style crabcakes and not fresh lump crabcakes as was expected in a venue located inside the Ritz Carlton in Center City Philadelphia. This was a major disappointment. And to top it off, her dish was cold as if it had been sitting awhile. That's unacceptable.We ask for the check, and the first thing listed is a $22 Espresso Martini! My friend now goes to the hostess stand where our waitress was located. She acknowledged the mistake and had it corrected prior to presenting us with a new tab.There were far too many mishaps and disappointments for me to say I would recommend you try them. However, there are good reviews as well, so decided for yourself.Cheers!
