    A beautiful restaurant with superb service and a talented chef. More of a special occasion restaurant, not recommended for budget diners! The service was so amazing that courses came & went invisibly. The chef sent out remarkable small dishes between the appetizers, and they did not stop even after desert. All of the dishes were unique & delicious.

    Acquerello is truly outstanding, Italian cuisine with a modern touch (coming from a born and raised Italian). Service is perfect, we got a great suggestion for a Californian wine. A must!

    Not worth the money. The food itself was mediocre for a lower price point, terrible for the price point it is at. Some of the courses were inedible because it was so salty. I get it's a reduction but let's still try to make it taste ok? The service was good but I felt like they knew the food was bad.
