                    We had a business dinner for 6 people and it was a truly enjoyable experience. Our server was charming and highly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was outstanding.

                    After the great dining experience we had at the Aqua Grill Sunday night, we had to come back one more time before we left. We had lunch before leaving for the airport. The lunch and service from Devin was just as exceptional as Sunday evening's dinner with Emma. Really looking forward coming back to Ponte Vedra again. Thank you

                    Our experience in the past has been very good at this restaurant. Something has changed. The food is not as good. The paella is more grouper and rice and not really paella. For the price we had expected much more. The was no shrimp in it, the scallop looked like it was cut in half but not seared. Not even sure why they advertise the onion and pepper you have to use a magnifying glass to find them so why feature them? It was ok but nothing near Paella. I had the swordfish and I am glad I asked for it to be cooked medium. I did expect a swordfish steak and usually I get something about a half inch thick. The was about a quarter of inch thick. It was grilled very nicely and the sauce was very good. While the service was ok for some reason we had a waiter from the other side of the dinning room so the service was not very attentive. It looked like the manager was the only one who was breaking a sweat as you could see her running all over getting menus and getting tables water and helping people all over. Like I said something has changed or they were just having a bad night.
