    Kayleen (sp) provided excellent service and made our night extra special. We started with the tempura roll and we loved it! We both had the meatloaf. I had never had it before but my husband raved about it, so I tried it. It was FABULOUS! Prior to dinner, we had a drink at the bar. The drinks were perfect and the bartenders were fun. It was a wonderful dinner.

    We were staying nearby at the Hilton Garden Inn and tried to stay close for restaurant options. Aqua Grill was an excellent choice! While our table was not ideal (2-person table in a busy location), the restaurant was very interesting. Our server, Breana, was terrific! She was just the right amount of attentive, and very friendly. Now for the food. We got the mussels as an appetizer, and they were very good. Then came the bread. I was sorry that I'd filled up on mussels because I could have eaten the whole loaf myself. Hubby ordered the short ribs and let me try some. DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend. My shrimp scampi was chock full of shrimp and flavor. I also had a mocktail (for which there were multiple choices), which was excellent. If you're in the area, go there. You won't be disappointed.

    Our server was Brandon and we couldn’t have asked for better. Friendly, timeliness, excellence in every regard. Additionally two managers came to our table to ensure everything was perfect. We enjoyed exactly what we were looking for, which was a very relaxing Christmas Eve lunch and they delivered perfectly. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

    Excellent service and food my husband my daughter and grandson sat at a lovely table in the room off of the bar, which was much more quiet than the bar area. The brussels sprouts are fantastic. The prime rib sandwich was great and the butter chicken was superb.!
