"Aqua is ideal for watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand, or a quiet dinner with your family. If you want to enjoy the patio overlooking the water during peak hours, you’ll likely have to wait a bit on the spacious lawn, but know the dining room takes reservations and still has a gorgeous view. The Bangin’ Shrimp is a must-order appetizer, but there’s really something for everybody, including a steak, chicken, or fish option. If you’re looking to take a break from all the Outer Banks seafood, the seared duck breast is deliciously tender and has a white peach barbecue sauce that adds a perfect touch of sweetness.

If you’re looking for a European dinning experience this is a close competitor. As a European this was the first restaurant I tried in the outer banks that had a proper portion size(Not to big) and was seem to be high quality food not basked in cooking oil and butter. The food was fresh and didn’t leave that feeling of fat in ur stomach. The prices were high and we paid around 300$ for 4 people, but each dish was cooked excellently and you could tell a lot of thought went into it. Definitely would recommend

Excellent lunch experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Bryan was our server, and he was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be coming back!

AQUA in Duck is seriously awesome! The views are just unreal – you're right on the water and it's so pretty. But it's not just the scenery, the food was amazing. Try the local fish. The people working there were super nice and took great care of us. Honestly, if you're in Duck, you have to check out AQUA. You won't be disappointed!

The food was great, very nice atmosphere with a waterfront view. JB the waiter was awesome! The crab and corn chowder is one of the best soups I've ever had in my life, and I'm a snobby cook!

Best meal I’ve had in OBX in 30 years. Despite being off-season, the staff took very good care of us. The food was wonderful. Someone CARED about my meal, not just assembling it, but making sure all elements were perfect. And the cocktails were world-class. Thank you for making it a dining experience and not just feeding the tourists like your competition.

The vibe was a bit loud and overstimulating, but the food and drinks made up for it. The crab dip was amazing, and both the Flu Shot martini and “Hooked on Quack” cocktail were so good. We got the filet for our main— it was super flavorful and cooked perfectly, just a little tough for a filet. Our server JR was awesome— attentive but not pushy. Overall, really solid experience!

Had the best dinner here to end our day on the coast. From the drinks to the staff to the food this place was amazing! Our last great memory with our truck before being hit head on later that night.
