I learnt about the Prime Rib Wednesday special online. Since I don't own a car and it was about a 10 min walk from Brentwood Skytrain station, and it was raining, it wasn't exactly convenient for us. But once I sat down, the waitress was extremely friendly and caring to bring us hot water with a touch of lemon per our request. Since we were not very hungry so I ordered the prime rib directly. The size was big and truly value for money. Since it is family restaurant, u may expect to hear kids shouting here and there, but still a very comfy ambience. Highly recommended!

My partner and I went there for their Valentine's day set meal, and the food was amazing!! I ordered the tenderloin, which was well seasoned and cooked to a beautiful medium rare. At first, I was a bit uninterested in the appetizers (the options were a beet salad or prawns and Spinach gnudi), but I was pleasantly surprised that both options were very delicious. Also, we were given complimentary champagne which was very thoughtful.

I have been to Acqua Restaurant for their Happy Hour but never for dinner. Our party participated in DineOut. We were pleasantly surprised by the good food and attentive service. Portion sizes were very generous. Will definitely return to sample some of their special menus.

Overall rating is outstanding. The only deficiency is the music volume level. The music level was so loud that it was difficult to hear my friends talking. Hope that it can be improved next year.

We were supposed to be seated at table 42 and it took about 10 minutes to set up table 42 even though the ballroom was half empty. Waited almost 15 minutes to order drinks and a bottle of wine as we were placed in a corner with no waiter or waitress. The music was very good. The ambiance was OK. Then the buffet layout was nice however the beef quality was just OK. The Wellington was good. The hot entrées of the cold pasta hot ravioli were overcooked. The chicken and turkey were very good and the salmon was excellent. Overall, for the wobbly table, lack of service, ambiance, it was fair just OK. I expected more. Finally the receipt showed no price for food, wine, gst or pst … not quality.
