   Aqua is one of our favorite restaurants on the OBX. Last night our server, Paige was outstanding…pleasant and attentive. Their daily special of sea bass was one of the best meals I have ever had… kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. I have to acknowledge all of the Aqua staff. They are always pleasant and on point. If you are considering going to Aqua, do it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

   Great atmosphere and service but the shrimp on my salad tasted like they were frozen. Disappointing

   Always good, I love the allergy menu, I’m celiac and Aqua makes it so easy to eat out. The servers are knowledgeable. Will always come back!

   It was our first time there. We had a party of eight to celebrate two birthdays. The food was amazing and so was the service. There was never a moment we were out of drinks. Paige was super nice and made sure to check on us often. Definitely will go back! Definitely recommend!

   Loved our dinner. Me and hubs split a bowl of corn crab soup, cesaer salad and shrimp truffle pasta. All delish but the pasta for sure. Terrific service. Waterfront table. Home made pecan maple ice cream! Nice wine list as well.

    Excellent dining experience as usual. Had a nice table by a window overlooking the sound. Both of our shrimp entrees (shrimp and grits and black truffle shrimp pasta) were delicious. Great service too. Can’t wait to go back again since this is one of our favorite area restaurants since it is consistently good.

    Love Aqua! One of my favorites in OBX. Park down at the waterfront shops and you have an amazing 15-20 minute walk to enjoy the sound instead of just parking at the restaurant.

    An outstanding restaurant! We enjoyed our dinner on Friday so much that we returned on Sunday for lunch. Everything was delicious, presented beautifully, and served by a quality waitstaff. Honestly, one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Aqua is managed so well! Our table was ready at our reserved time. Handcrafted cocktails, appetizers and entrees were timed perfectly. We enjoyed a leisurely meal without ever feeling rushed. We watched a gorgeous sunset from our table. There is nothing that we would rate lower than 5 stars. A must when you are in Duck.

    Overall we had a nice experience. The food was very very good. We felt a little rushed at dinner, for example the entrées arrived when several members of our party were still working on their appetizers. We were in the bar for a drink earlier, and they insisted that we come to the table twice within 30 seconds. Shelly was wonderful though very informative about the wine and very fun.

    We were seated right away with our reservation. Valerie was pleasant and always attended immediately to our needs, even though it was quite busy. We started with the smoky pimento appetizer with chips which was so delicious. I had the garden salad with mahi and my husband had the sea bass special. Both meals were superb. We finished our dinner off with a rich, delicious chocolate torte while watching the sun set. It was a very special birthday dinner for me.
