    We travel often and eating good food is always a must. This was our first time dining at this restaurant in Salt Lake. The food was out of this world! All the dishes we ordered were delicious and mouthwatering. Food came out quickly but at a great pace as to enjoy each dish. Can’t wait to go back on out next visit. Definitely a new favorite

    Everything was ok but service. The foods came out too late. First we had sushi, we didn’t have to wait too long but the main courses. We have to wait more than 30mins between sushi and main courses. The kids kind of hungry. I have visiting a lot of restaurants, normal to high end, this is the first time I have to wait for that long. It would be nice if some one came to say something to us but it didn’t. Hopefully not because of we are Asian, so no one care. My bill cost more than $400, my tip more than 10% of it, I’m not a cheap one. Last time I visited when it first opened, everything was good, I even gave 5 stars but this time. Anyway, food was good, hopefully service can be as good as it used to be

    My Husband went to Aqua Terra for our 29th wedding anniversary. We had a reservation for 2, when they walked us back to our table and we saw that out table was set for a party of 4. They quickly removed the extra placemats and wine glasses which made our table seem empty. While we were ordering we had a hard time hearing our waiter. My husband had ordered the salmon, the waiter mumbled something and my husband said yes. Not knowing what he said. Mind you our waiter was so tall it was almost impossible to hear him from the table. When our food arrives I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken, and my was served 4 pieces of salmon with a piece of bread. My husband is very patient and didn’t want to cause a problem on our Anniversary. After dinner they brought us a dessert while my husband and I reminisced of our wedding day, then we were rudely interrupted and our waiter cleared the table. Overall it’s a very beautiful place, the ambiance was great. My daughter had recommended this place, because she had came on Valentine’s Day. My daughter had a great experience, but we did not have the same.

    Customer service was great. Our server, Jordan, had a great balance of helpful, friendly, and funny. Open tables were quite close to one another in a big open room, but it didn’t feel too loud or obtrusive. Food was overall delicious. Poke was perfect. We liked the sushi rolls better than the crispy rice cake base on the sushi which tasted too much like a hash brown. But the citrus aioli dip was fabulous. Steak was tender and well flavored. As was the lamb. Chicken dish was ok, would have preferred boneless chicken. Portions were good. Similar pricing to Ruth Chris or Flemings. Definitely a special occasion restaurant.

    We wanted to like this place but it just fell short. My food (filet tips) was so salty I couldn’t eat it. I declined another one as we had ordered sides but the Mac & cheese was also over salted. My husbands steak was okay, slightly over cooked. Service was good but she asked if we wanted dessert, then dropped the check without ever bringing dessert menus. Our bill was over $300 with the filet tips removed, so too expensive to try again.

    Whatever you read on here that has any negative feedback, just disregard it!! The food was outstanding! Our server, Iris was one of the best servers we have had at any restaurant in any city! And any negative chatter about the ambiance or lighting is just nonsense. You need to try the crispy rice sushi rolls. And the steak with scallops was perfect. We ate there last night and already want to go back!!

    If you want steak, go across the street to The Capital Grille. Neither steak was cooked to the desired temperature. The sushi here was decent enough, nothing special. Cocktails were tasty but inconsistent with the amount of alcohol. Some where a little heavy and others were a little light. Service was fast and friendly enough except for the waiter looking down the front of my girlfriend’s shirt.

    I have to say it was our first visit we will definitely be back. Food was perfect, a little over price for a Valentines dinner special in my books, also, there were two Valentines flavored drinks listed on the special menu with no prices looks like it was included in the five course dinner price. Spent $450 for the two of us including tip.

    Aqua Terra Steak + SushiResponded on February 17, 2023Hello Shanna, Thank you so much for your review; we sincerely apologize about the drink for Valentine's; unfortunately, in Utah, alcohol must be separate for any promotion. We apologize about the matter, and we would love to see you back soon. Jorge Coelho GM

    Minus the key lime everything was delicious, and a great way to celebrate my birthday but I’m not a big fan of key lime anything and it tasted like it was made with too much gelatin but the presentation was pretty, the bison tenders and my frenched lamb on the other hand were superb, I will be dreaming of those dishes for days to come haha

Cool vibe as well, not too fancy but also not somewhere you would wear street clothes. Was very impressed with the menu, as well as the super friendly staff. We’ll certainly be back here soon, great spot and even better food!

    All was good except they missed the mark on cooking my steak. I ordered my filet Pittsburgh Rare and it was over cooked and not a flavorful steak. For the price and positioning the restaurant as a steak place. I expected better. The service was wonderful and I did get a free dessert for messing up my steak. The atmosphere is also great.

    Food was delicious. I was hoping the server was going to explain what the burning black rocks were on my plate. He did not, I had to ask. It was salt for the steak and it was delicious. The sushi was good but could have been filled more on the cut rolls. I’ll be back! Steak was cooked perfectly!

    Phenomenal experience! Jordan is a next level Server who created raving fans. She recognized our table had a draft from the front door, so she kindly transferred us to another table between Starters and Entrees. Food: The Crispy Brussels Sprouts are to die for!!! The Ahi Tuna crunchy rice…yes, please!!! Our daughter loves the Bison burger. My wife and I shared the Tomahawk Ribeye cooked medium rare - Chef and team were on point! We enjoyed all our various beverages. I highly recommend the Treasure Chest. We will return accompanied by friends. I will also return with work colleagues and Staff. 10/10!

    My first impression was not great, after entering the restaurant, the hostesses (there were four of them) were confused and very unorganized, but we were lucky to have Zach V. as our waiter, he was so pleasant and professional, he made our experience nice and memorable. The dishes we ordered were mediocre but nothing to rave about. If I go back is because of Zach V. and his excellent customer service.

    Don’t get me wrong, the food was amazing so no complaints there. Now, I don’t know if this was an open table thing or the restaurant itself but when I made my reservation I respectfully asked on the notes for a nice table if possible since we were celebrating my husbands birthday and it was also our first time here. Well, we got seated at the very back, on a small table right next to the kitchen that gave us the feeling we were actually at a fast food restaurant. I’ve always had great experiences with other restaurants when booking for special occasions (anniversaries, bdays, etc), they all always have nice gestures (a little happy dessert, etc) but it wasn’t the case here. I was excited to take my husband here for his bday but unfortunately the whole experience was ruined for us, even with the good food, because of service and experience alone we won’t be back.

    Aqua Terra Steak + SushiResponded on January 14, 2023Our sincere apologies about the seating, usually, our guests ask to sit in our tree room area since it's the more popular and requested area for special occasions. I'm sorry it wasn't the location you had hoped for. I'm happy that you enjoyed our fantastic food, and I hope you decide to give us another chance in the future. Our deepest apologies for the table.
