"There are places you take your dad when you want to impress him, and places you take your grandpa. This Belltown waterfront surf-and-turf restaurant is more in the latter category: There’s a piano player in the dining room, tableside Caesar salad and poke, flashy cocktails, even primo cigars on the menu (you probably, probably won’t be able to smoke them outside on the pier). The real star, though, is the wraparound view of Puget Sound — the restaurant is literally on the edge of Pier 70, so you can’t really do better view-wise. And with Aqua’s happy hour menu, you could actually have a burger and cocktail here for under $30." - Gabe Guarente, Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle
