Aqua Blue Restaurant

Stopped in around 5pm on a Saturday and was surprised to find the place completely empty. We considered going somewhere else, but decided to stay and we were glad we did. They have great seafood and we enjoyed the blackened scallops with lobster ravioli and the salmon in the recommended special was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Their grits are fantastic too - each bite is a ride through a number of rich flavors. Our waitress did a brief wine tasting with 3 wines to determine which wine our table should order as well. While the food was great, I think the service really earned the fifth star here.

We always enjoy dinner at Aqua Blue. I love the lighting, high ceilings, long diaphanous curtains and the eye-catching art on the walls. The servers are friendly and accommodating. Sometimes it takes a while for the food to arrive, but we usually go with friends, so we have a cocktail and chat. We usually order the sushi, but we have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered. It’s a very nice place to celebrate or to treat yourself (or clients) to something special.

I absolutely love this place. Have been at least twenty times, always with great service and food. The staff is outstanding! Drinks and signature cocktails are delicious. Even their bread selection prior to your meal is varied, interesting, and great-tasting! Usually order something Hardwood Grilled, love the mashed potatoes, sushi, and everything a dinner companion or I have ordered. Interesting menu with something for everyone of any age. Great, friendly staff. Beautiful atmosphere in both bar and restaurant areas. Uniquely modern decor that also feels warm and cozy --- quite upscale for its location. I always leave satisfied and always return!

Aqua Blue is a great place to enjoy a bottle of wine and some great food. The atmosphere is modern, open and clean. I have tried a few different appetizers here including the Calamari (pretty good - tasted fresh and had a flavorful sauce without being too spicy) and the Tuna Tataki was fantastic. On Sundays they offer half off bottles of wine which is a great deal. I havent ordered an entree or sushi here yet, but would not hesitate. Overall a fun, non-pretentious place to enjoy some cocktails.

They got rid of the weekday sushi lunch special, which is the only thing they had going for them. Every time I have eaten here, the service was very slow and lacking in attentiveness, even though it's never very busy. Often we are weighted on by several different servers because the original server never comes back to check on us or bring the bill. Food is decent but overpriced if you aren't ordering the sushi lunch special (which is gone, sadly). Will be looking for a new sushi place for lunch.

Aqua Blue is an experience of its own kind. The menu had a wide variety, I got the special pork tenderloins and was definitely pleased with my choice. For an after dinner treat, be sure to get the Aqua Blue velvet cake!

Great service with Bryan, Kimberly, and Terri. Love their all you can eat sushi (Monday through Friday from 11:00am - 4:00pm)! Recommend to come close to or after 1:00pm to avoid the crowd and traffic on Holcomb Bridge. They make the sushi fresh so the more crowded, the longer the wait.

Never had an opportunity t taste the food here, because my initial experience was so unforgettable. My friend and I visited this restaurant on February 6th, 2015 and when the waitress came around , ordered 2 glasses of wed wine for starters. When the waitress approached me, she dropped the entire glass of red wine all over me. I WAS SOAKING FROM CHEST TO TOE. Fortunately I was wearing black dress and shoes. The waitress never even apologized and when I mentioned to her that I was actually soaking, she responded that she was soaking too...??????? I couldn't believe it. I was offered nothing to dry up until a bus boy noticed the wine all over the floor about 10 minutes later and offered me some shop rags. Consequently, the waitress never came back by to ask how we were, OR take our dinner order, so after many attempts, finally got her attention, and summoned her over and asked to speak to her manager, David Smedlund. Well, that was a bad idea. I came over with a complete attitude, and proceeded to defend the waitress claiming that she DID apologized so what was the problem. I then explained to him that just because he doesn't see wine all over me, the very idea that it was spilled on me deserved some type of apology. I then asked for the bill and said to him that I felt that I should be comped for the wine. He started YELLING that I expect to come in to his restaurant and drink for Free (wow!) By then, he had an audience, and when I didn't respond, loudly exclaimed that I just cant come off the street and expect him to allow me to drink for free. I was soooo embarrassed. Other patrons that saw what happened and actually apologized. The walk to the car was horrific. I was sticky and very cold as this was a freezing February night. We were going to a party after this occurrence and I smelled like a complete alcoholic. The pair of shoes that I wore that night were ruined. Just picked them up to wear them to church this morning and noticed the red wine stain has caused it to rot. I will never , ever visit this place again for any reason....
