   If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Aqua Blu is an absolute must-visit! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the atmosphere — chic, modern, and inviting. But the real star of the show? The food. Each dish was nothing short of spectacular, packed with bold flavors and prepared to perfection. Every bite felt like a true indulgence. Whether you're a seafood lover or a fan of inventive cuisine, Aqua Blu has something that will leave you craving more. And the drinks? Absolutely top-notch! Their cocktail menu is creative, with expertly crafted drinks that perfectly complement the food. The bartenders are true mixology masters, offering up refreshing options that never disappoint. It’s clear that Aqua Blu puts so much love and care into everything they do. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this gem — I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience.

   We have never been disappointed at Aqua Blu. I had Brodetto and my wife had Spaghetti and Meatballs. The pasta in both dishes was fresh and homemade. The Brodetto had the perfect level of mild spiciness and it was packed with seafood. The sauce on the spaghetti and meatballs was good and the dollop of ricotta was delicious and creamy. Service was great. There was noise in the bar but the dining room was quiet and easy to have a conversation.

   We booked late for Valentine’s Day and could only get a high top at the bar. When the hostess called to confirm our reservation she was so kind and asked if we would prefer a regular table in the dining area and if something opened up she would put us in. When we got to the restaurant it was beautiful and decorated with a huge balloon shaped heart for pictures. We didn’t take any, but it was cute. lol. The hostess sat us in a beautifully decorated room, the tables were spaced perfectly so you weren’t sitting too close to anyone and had privacy for conversations. The waiter was very friendly and attentive as well as the runners. We ordered the charcuterie butcher block, seafood tower and hanger steak. Everything was cooked perfectly and served with perfect timing. We finished the meal with the cannoli dessert. The cannoli’s were delicious, and we are tough critics because we are Italian! Lol Bottoms line….. everything was perfect and we look forward to returning!

   Probably the worst Christmas Eve dinner we have ever had. Waited 2 hours for our food, an hour and a half just for appetizers to come out. Appetizers were good. Our dinners on the other hand… we had to send back my mom’s dinner bc it was inedible chicken. So she did not eat dinner since we did not want to wait longer for another entree to come out. The salmon I ate 3 bites. The short rib was no way near good quality for you to charge $38. Not worth over $300 for our meal in general. Not one manager came out to apologize for the delay or the bad meal that ruined our Christmas Eve. Never again.

   Went for brunch and was surprised to find a DJ with loud music. I enjoy music like anyone, and he played great music, but it was more fitting for a Friday or Saturday night, plus it was football Sunday. Just a little out of place. Food, drinks & service were great.
