Aqua Grill was a wonderful experience with great service and fantastic food. Lunch was enjoyable with the many options to choose from based on taste, time and cost. There were also interesting and delicious beverage pairings that were just as unique as the food. I loved the fettuccine and lobster roll. The desserts were top tier as well, I suggest the chocolate cake or key lime pie. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!Parking: It is an open shared lot with other businesses but there was enough to go around. Plenty of accessible access parking too.

Eggplant parm was huge and amazing. I asked for Vegas instead of pasta and got asparagus. The fish dish my wife got was so tender and tasty. The butter had herbs in it. I could have eaten with a spoon. And I appreciated the water bottle left on the table. The bread was kind of dry.

Aqua Grill is PVB’s finest! Love coming in here and getting pampered by the wonderful employees and the cuisine is absolutely divine. All around 10/10 experience. We ordered some mussels, Rockefeller oysters, beet salad, lamb chops and the trigger fish fresh catch special. They also have a robust drink menu with one of the best espresso martinis in town I just forgot to take a picture. Highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t already!

Do not waste your money here. I was horrified by the story my close friends told me of their experience here for a birthday party. The manager, Tara, harassed my friends until they were forced to leave.My friends had a reservation for a large party that the restaurant knew about for over a month. When they arrived, they were seated at a table in the center of the restaurant and spent time decorating the table for the event. The manager pulled the birthday girl aside and said that the party needed to move into a secluded area because *allegedly* other patrons were offended by what she was wearing. She was wearing a cocktail dress.I could not believe that anybody would be so rude and would purposefully embarrass someone on their birthday. When my friend insisted that she was not dressed inappropriately (because she wasn’t), the manager had the audacity to suggest that she cover up. My friend is a grown woman at a restaurant with a bar in proximity to the beach. She is not a child in school and should never have been addressed as such. Truly appalling behavior.Because of the manager’s poor handling of this situation and her harassment of the party, the restaurant lost out on a tab for 15 customers who would’ve spent a great deal of money there until closing.I will never give my business to this restaurant again and you shouldn’t either.My friends still have not received any apology from the team at Aqua Grill. Shame on you.

I'm not sure when the refurbishing took place but it's my 1st visit since they re-opened. Very nice, we ate out on the deck with a great view of the water.

I had an absolutely appalling experience at Aqua Grill last weekend. I am a loyal patron who has frequented this restaurant throughout the years, which made the whole thing even more despicable!I had planned a joint birthday dinner with my friend. We had the reservation made for over a month for a group of 15 women. I’ll summarize here by saying, in a matter of 30 minutes upon arrival – the manager, Tara managed to offend and discriminate against myself (the birthday girl) based on another random patrons subjective assessment of my attire, then she got argumentative with others in the group over ordering appetizers, then finally managed to run 15 women (business owners and professionals) out of the restaurant, due to her rudeness and harassment of the group. It pretty much goes down as the worst experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant and for my birthday, no less. EPIC FAIL Aqua Grill!As for what happened, I was there not even 10 minutes when I am getting pulled aside by Tara, the manager. I had not even had a chance to sit down at the table. I was pulled over to a side area in the restaurant along with the other birthday girl and we were asked if our party could move to this area that was hidden off to the side. I am extremely confused at this point. My friend had just spent time setting up table decor, some friends had already started ordering drinks and were seated at the table in the main restaurant. It would be extremely disruptful to our group of 15 to move. When I asked why, I was informed by this manager that allegedly some other patrons had complained that the dress I was wearing was “inappropriate”. I am speechless at this point and frankly just shocked and appalled that this is even being brought up to me. Seeing that we were not going to agree to moving, the manager than asked me if I can “put a sweater on”. This just kept getting worse by the minute. To this I responded, that no, I would not put a sweater on and that I thought this entire interaction was extremely rude. She then tried to justify it by saying that the patrons complaining were “old” and then said, “that’s fine, they will just need to deal with it.”I am still unclear what about my outfit was deemed inappropriate as it was never disclosed to me specifically. I was wearing a dress which showed my arms and legs. As far as I know, that is not breaking any dress code. This NEVER should’ve been brought to my attention. If patrons complained, that’s their problem. Make them move and don’t make it my problem. I did nothing wrong. I wore a dress to my birthday dinner. The way this was handled was extremely unprofessional, discriminating, and unnecessary.Things went downhill from there when my group caught wind of what happened. We attempted to salvage the night and stay but manager Tara wasn’t having it, it seems. She got argumentative re: an appetizer order my friends were trying to place and then when one of my friends addressed her rudeness with her, she got irate and started berating my friend to leave. Of course, this was the final straw and all 15 of us women gathered our belongings to leave.The treatment we received was truly disappointing and appalling. It’s very unfortunate as Aqua Grill has always been one of my favorite places to go.We ended up taking our party to Coop 303 who were more than accommodating and welcoming to our group and treated us with the common decency that anyone dining out would expect to receive.

We had a lovely family dinner on the back patio at aqua grill. We started with the fried green tomatoes (highly recommend)-all the entrees were delicious and the setting was so beautiful. Our server Rebecca was attentive, stylish and adorable and took excellent care of us. A wonderful place to go for a special meal!

Med platter the naan had mold on it. My wife’s chicken piccata smelled like it came in contact w/oyster juice. It had a nasty saucy fingerprint smudge where the plate was handled. When we talked to the old manager woman, she was dismissive, rude & did nothing to make things right. The atmosphere seems nice until while I was coming out of the restroom & a kitchen guy was walking into it with his dirty apron still on. Wife not feeling well today. Absolutely appalling. AVOID.
