It looks like the team at ~AQ~ has decided to adjust their format. According to an email from the restaurant, they’ll be switching their menu over to a four-course prix-fixe at dinner, with the option of a grand tasting menu as well. The new format will allow the kitchen to try out some new techniques, but they also want to stay rooted in classic, seasonal preparations. In order to focus more on these changes, they’ve also decided to end weekend brunch service as of January 26th. The dinner menu changes will take effect on Tuesday March 18th, when they switch the restaurant decor from winter to spring.
