The Aquavit Terrace, with its casual ambiance and innovative Nordic-inspired setting, offers guests a uniquely Viking dining experience. This venue combines the delight of alfresco dining with a conservatory style, complete with retractable floor-to-ceiling glass doors, ensuring diners can enjoy stunning views no matter the weather. The menu highlights include a buffet of crisp salads, hearty soups, and a selection of entrée choices like carved meats and curried chicken sandwiches at lunch. Come evening, options like griddled burgers and sumptuous pastas take center stage. This splendid dining experience is further enhanced by complimentary wines, beers, and soft drinks, reflecting local tastes and traditions. Diners seeking a more private meal can opt for take-out containers, an appreciated perk given the scenery. My personal tip: don't miss the chance to dine here at sunset, the views are simply unmatched.
