   The service and food were excellent. A little loud but the view of the Currituck Sound is stunning. I would highly recommend Aqua

   Wonderful and relaxed dining experience. Great sunset views, quite acoustic music. The food was excellent and it was great to have a menu that offered thoughtful gluten and allergy free options that were tasty.

   We have lived in Duck for over 4 years and just haven’t had a chance to make it to Aqua. I know, crazy! We just have our favorites and automatically gravitate to them. However, it was my wife’s birthday and she wanted to try something new so Aqua it was! We went early to avoid the crowds, but with the weather, it was pretty empty anyway. For starters, the bread was excellent! The butter was soft and easily spreadable! Don’t you hate that chilled butter that breaks the bread in pieces?! Anyway, I ordered the Filet and my wife ordered the Roasted Chicken. My Filet was excellent! Perfectly cooked inside and out! It was so delicious I almost cried! Yea, it was that good! I Loved the cubed potatoes as well! The broccolini was awful! Don’t eat that! Well, unless you like green vegetables! My wife enjoyed her meal as well and the chicken was also cooked to perfection. She liked the broccolini so I gave her mine! ;) The service was also amazing. Brian was our waiter and he helped with our selections and he was very friendly. Hopefully, we get him next time! Honestly, we’ve been missing out! Especially since it’s so close to home! Now, the prices are high, but not unreasonable. We couldn’t afford to go there all the time but definitely for special occasions and when guests come to visit! Anyway, I highly recommend! *****

   Crab dip excellent, black drum special was delicious. Sunset across the bay was exceptional. Wine was delicious but servings were small for the price. Service was great! Special request was honored delightfully.

   Aqua was recommended to us by our house rental manager Paulo - were visiting from out of town. It was my husband’s birthday. The weather was snowy icey and cold, BUT the staff from Aqua showed up and presented us with a delicious and most hospitable and memorable experience! And for that we are so very grateful! Brian was our server and he was just such a JOY! He knew everything about the menu choices as well as the area and gave us his full attention as if we were family coming home for dinner. I had the drum fish special which was out of this world, and my husband loved his salmon. We definitely recommend Aqua - a delicious meal, fantastic service, and a stunning sunset right on the water to boot! Can’t ask for much more!

   Our dinner overlooking the Sound at Aqua was amazing. The warm bread, several appetizers, steaks and finally the peanut butter pie. Literally one of the best desserts my wife and I have ever had. The service in particular Gwen were top notch as well. Can’t wait to go again the next time we are in Duck.
