The aqua-blue colors and bubbling-water theme is a bit corny, but the food is terrific.

The Scene Be prepared to get bubbly at this restaurant/bar in the Park East Hotel. The entire space was renovated in late 2003 and now features a water theme--everything from bubbling water inside the bar to pastel-colored lights poking down through the ceiling. Service is fine, but can be scattered if you arrive during the quieter hours. The Food Seafood is the star... more

Aqua used to be a very cool place to go when friends would come from out of town. The clear chairs next to the clear bar with water running under it was something you would expect to see in Miami or Las Vegas. I recently went back to Aqua with my wife to have a drink. It was the middle of the day on a Saturday, so the bar was almost empty. It had been about two years since my last visit and it... more

I can go up to the bar, order a drink, sit there and watch ESPN on their plasma TVs. a few years back when it was busier,... more

Customer service is poor. Food taste is ok, but definitely not worth how much it costs. Drinks are also very dissapointing and expensive. I would recommend any other restaurant over Aqua.

My husband and I were one of the first people who stayed in their renovated Lake Park Suites. The bathroom was huge and had a romantic jacuzzi tub. We were also able to go on the roof top and view the city from there which at night was beautiful with all of the lights. Being connected to Aqua was a plus. Downfall no one told us about parking when we checked in and we got a ticket by parking... more

The decor is interesting and we were seating right away. Everything after that was pretty bad. The one waitress seemed to have no experience at all and needed reminders to bring things to us once asked for. The music was blues - completely out of place in this atmosphere. When the singer was not singing, no background music was playing but we could listen to the air conditioner instead. Not... more

My fiance and I went to Aqua on a Saturday night for a romantic dinner. While the food was good, the service was so horrible I could never recommend this restaurant to anyone. We were seated promptly, but after that it went down hill fast. Only one waiter was working in the main dining room. He was also bussing his own tables. I can't believe this place has been open a year!

Aqua has the most beautiful setting, the most curteous staff and th emost exotic and exciting menu in the city. I love the martini list and the bar staff is awesome. Their wine list is huge if you are into trying new wines. I highly recommend Aqua for a romantic dinner or a night out on the town. After ten o'clock the bar is crowded and the DJs are always awesome.

The room was small, WIFI didn't work and no one would help us get it working, phone in room didn't even work. They do have a cool, upscale bar/restaurant called Aqua inside that is nothing like I have ever seen. My husband also said they had a pretty decent free breakfast spread. They provide a free shuttle service, which was very helpful for us.
