The food was absolutely wonderful. The service was incredible. It was my daughter's birthday and they made her a special drink and brought her a creme brulee. They really made her 14th birthday dinner memorable. Unfortunately, there was an INCREDIBLY loud table of women on the porch with us. It was hard at times to have our own conversation, due to the volume of their conversation (including yelling at people they knew walking by, to come in and see them). That being said, I like Aqua all year long - particularly during the off season. Its always wonderful.
