    Wonderful meal, wonderful hospitality. We celebrated our 19-year anniversary at Aqua on Saturday and were treated to complimentary prosecco to start, which was very thoughtful. Ordered the pumpkin soup, the mussels, and the petit filet + crabcake entree and shared it all - it was the perfect meal.

    From our cocktails at the bar with Jamie to our outstanding table service we couldn’t be more pleased. The tapas selection is enormous and our server so thoughtfully spaced them out. Excellent wine selection at very reasonable bottle prices. We couldn’t have enjoyed it any more.

    If I could give more stars on here I would! The reservation prices was wonderful. They accommodated changing the time. We were greeted with all smiles and lovely compliments. They used Christine’s name to say hello and happy birthday. They have her a gift set of olive oils from a sister company with a hand signed card! We enjoyed the meal at our place - no rush to turn the table. The food was amazing. The service was equally amazing! I even like the dress code: be comfortable and make your mother proud. They have a way of crafting the service and seating to give you the feeling you’re in your own private oasis.
