A few niggly things throughout mean I’ll probably not return, plus with cocktails it’s very expensive and not equating to value for money

This was my first time having dinner at Aqua although I have had lunch several times outside. Such a beautiful contrast. The lighting and the ambience was perfect. The service was great and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

I love this place, I’ve been a few times. Something went wrong little wrong with my last visit, after the starters I started to feel quite ill and not well. I let my guests finish their meal and everyone had a great time. Even now I’m not sure if it was the food or something from earlier in the day, either way I’ll be back!

I don’t mind spending money for good value food - this unfortunately is one of those experiences where you feel slightly ripped off as the portions are tiny and simply too pricey for what you get. Atmosphere is also rather stale/not cozy - too much grandeur but just lacking something …oh well, ticked that one off the list but sadly will not be returning …can’t fault the service though.

Date night for drinks and dinner was a real flop. Overall ambience was okay, but the food was the worst we’ve had in London for a while.

Despite the restaurant's appealing ambiance and attentive service, I found it difficult to justify the exorbitant prices charged for such modest portions of food. While quality ingredients and skillful execution undoubtedly come at a cost, the pricing structure felt unjustifiably inflated.

Impeccable décor and ambiance. The place is immensely chic and just…immense. Service and attention was second to none. Menu was very interesting and diverse; particularly the starters/platters. Loved the roof terrace. Absolutely beautiful surroundings. High recommended

Food very tasty, and service good, but considering the place was practically empty we’d have hoped to have a table with a view as that’s why this restaurant was chosen. As it was we were placed as far from a window as you could get! Which was a shame as 3 of our party were visiting London for the first time. I’d definitely recommend/go back, but would be more specific about table choice.

Food was good. Tapas taken to a level of excellence. Tuesday evening and pretty quiet, service perfect. Not as expensive as I had thought it would be, so pretty good value for a very good restaurant in central London.
