This place is a hidden gem. I eat gluten free due to.a Celiac diagnosis. I ordered the buffalo chicken panini with GF bread. It was delicious. My husband had the steak sandwich. His was excellent as well. We went back for breakfast and had an açaí bowl and bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Service, food and atmosphere are all 5 stars!

Enjoy a cozy vibe with attentive service and a commitment to making your meal just right, ensuring a delightful dining experience.
I have to have gluten-free noodles so ordered the spaghetti Bolognese but when my husband brought it home, I had bravo pasta, which was not gluten-free. So we called and Chris said that he would remake my order. It tasted delicious. It was very nice that they remade the correct order since it’s not healthy for me to eat regular pasta. All in all it was a good experience.

Spectacular sunset views and creative blind menus" set the stage for a memorable dining experience with exceptional service and delicious dishes.
"The Perfect 10" When vacationing, we love to explore local eateries. We were excited to try Aqua and that set high expectations. And Aqua Exceeded every one!! Aqua is not inexpensive and I did not want my guests to feel the need to order based on cost. Staff printed "blind menus" just for my party of 6. Very kind. First "win" for the team. Sat down at sunset, indoors over looking the sound...spectacular view. Win number two. Service was fantastic! Waiter knew foods and how there were prepared and able to make acco.modate two gluten and one dairy allergy. Win number three. Drinks were even better than their descriptions...I LOVED my King Richard and the Pear Martini was sublime. Win number four. Apps were amazingly presented, delicious and good for sharing amongst a party of 6. Crab chowder, scallop ceviche, Banging Shrimp, Truffle Fries...all superb. Win number five. And then dinner comes out. No list of adjectives will suffice! Local Red Snapper, Shrimp and Grits, Sirloin cooked perfectly...Every one loved every bite. Win number five. Desserts including sorbet, ice cream, peanut butter pie (OMG) and Key Lime pie delicious and not too sweet...just perfect. Win number six! We have been to many places but I do not ever recall a finer meal. Aqua was a perfect evening and worth every penny paid...and then some!
