    Nice view. Bit noisy as the restaurant was full. Food came quickly and service was very good. We had $29.00 lunch deal which included a drink. It was quite nice for the price.

    My friend and I had a delightful lunch at Aqua. We both had the battered prawns with a pickled radish salad followed by the tiramisu. Delicious! Lee, did an excellent job taking care of us two elderly ladies! She was kind and patient and nothing was too much trouble. The views up and down the coast were spectacular. I recommend Aqua for a long lazy lunch and you won’t be disappointed.
