Our experience was amazing! The staff was so sweet and quick to help us. Our waitress was extremely kind to help us celebrate our anniversary at the Aqimero. We had plenty of time to ourselves to talk while still feeling like the waitress was on top of our needs the entire night. The food came out perfectly and tasted nothing short of amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or nicer staff to serve for our anniversary dinner.
