"Ah, Aqua. A classy Frasier-ish venue with patterned carpeting, wedding cocktail hour-style poke (prepared tableside!), and an in-house pianist. It’s a fine choice, though nothing will blow you out of your seat—and we’re not just saying that because they use constricting dining room chairs. Keep it in mind if you’re getting comped “a nice seafood meal” by a coworker who has a "C" as the first letter of their title and your eyeballs become flashing cartoon dollar signs. For that—or for some waterside drinks outside—Aqua is a decent power play." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley
