Fantastic meal once again from start to finish! Don't skip on the apps, bangin' shrimp and the crab and corn chowder are musts! Wonderful service and ambiance watching the sunset on the sound. It's a must visit for a wonderful meal in Duck!
Lovely atmosphere on the water. Not a huge menu but everything delicious. We had a private table which was lovely.
Second year in a row dining here. Early reservation, (4:30), party of 4 on a Sunday. JB was our server. He was great! Two in party had the tilefish special and raved about it. One person had the duck and said he would definitely order it again. I had the shrimp and andouille sausage pasta-YUM!! Drink specials were fun. Overall a very good experience.
Parking is a bit of a configuration. We were seated promptly. Bread service and crab dip exceptional. Server was competent. Our main dishes were all good but felt overpowered with the flavor of elegance of fine dining. We had duck which tasted of game, the tile fish was just that the side sauces nothing of mention and the pasta good but over run by andouille sausage.
Excellent experience, every dish was delicious. Glad we took the recommendation to add three scallops to the duck entree, they complemented the dish perfectly.
Excellent! It's been a while since I had a great experience like this. Highly recommended.
Food is delicious and service is amazing! Brian is great and we always enjoy our time there!
They were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about food allergies. They have a dedicated allergy free space in their kitchen. The waiter was very helpful and handled our allergies perfectly. The food was delicious.
Our server was wonderful, I honestly can't remember his name but he knew the menu inside and out and provided his favorites, local favorites and good pairings!
Loved everything about Aqua! Our table was inside but we could still enjoy the views of the water out of the window. Our server Paige was sweet, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious: looked great, and tasted clean and wholesome. We will definitely come back to Aqua next time we visit OBX.

Valerie provided outstanding, attentive service. The salmon, roast chicken, and crab cakes were all outstanding entrees-nothing to take home, because we all cleaned our plates!
We had a great experience at Aqua! We come every time we are in the area and it never disappoints. 
There were multiple (labeled) vegan options on the dinner menu from plant based steak to stuffed peppers along with app options. And we had a beautiful table, on the water, at sunset with an attentive and knowledgeable server. Great experience!
Fantastic meal. It's clear the area is struggling to get service staff this season so we didn't have high expectations on our last night in town. However, Aqua nailed it. Our server, Valerie, was excellent -- friendly and knowledgeable. The food was also outstanding. We will definitely be back next year.
Great food! Only mention is the main entree was a little slow to come out and wasn't hot. Our server Kat was very attentive and pleasant. Atmosphere was perfect.
