    Nestled in a downtown office building, Aker is a gem amongst the various architectural wonders. Spacious, contemporary decor, beautifully designed for elegance with soft lighting snd colors. The service was spot on. Needed assistance in ordering from the menu of generous Japanese inspired dishes from oysters to shishito peppers to tuna rolls. Cocktails were plentiful. Three of us shared 6 dishes. And one dessert of warm chocolate mousse cake. I’d return often to taste all the beautifully presented dishes. A winner for Exchange Place!

    We loved our valentine's menu and the wine pairing was fantastic. The wine pairing was a great deal. Our server Derek (??) was amazing. The whole thing was perfect!!! Incredible homemade pickled ginger, homemade wasabi (so different) and barrel aged soy sauce. Nice touches!!

    Was kind of disappointed after all, the hype on social media ....was a little shocked that I was charged $4.00 to make an extra dirty martini. Server was nice.I did feel a little rushed though
