Aqua Terra never fails.... I used to go there a lot when I was working in Buford. Nice cocktails at the bar before you sit down for the sizzling steaks and garlick mash potatoes, or perfectly seared scallops and pasta, topped with cream brulee, good selection of wines and port. My wife reminds me of her favorite, the lobster bisque. Professional service and live piano music, as per the original owner, Laura's vision.This New Year dinner, I was told that it changed hands but...

Todd was a PHENOMENAL server on Tuesday night! He provided my boyfriend and I an amazing experience for a date night out. His knowledge on the menu and wine list was excellent and allowed myself to indulge in wines I would not have tried on my own. If I could give 10 stars I would. We will be returning specifically for the service of Todd on our next date night out!!

Our server, Katie, was excellent. We had octopus, calamari and the buttermilk chicken. Entrees are generously portioned so we split the chicken. It came with loads of mashed potatoes and green beans. We were delighted that there was a very talented piano player playing beautiful music during dinner. That made it extra special.
