    The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. . The noise level was high as it was Christmas Day lunch so we couldn’t hear each other very well. A big thank you for the menu that was delivered and for not including a drinks package like some do as it’s not an option if you are the driver.
    Acqua Restaurant & BarResponded on 29 December 2024
