Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

"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!

The food is perfectly prepared. I had scallops, the duck wontons, coconut shrimp, the pickle brined fried chicken sandwich, and the cheeseburger on different occasions, all superb. They're very sensitive to celiac disease and will prepare safe GF meals. The service is friendly, and there's outdoor dining.
