Aqua Grill, Ponte Vedra Beach

Good food, LOVED the scenery. Sat outside on the deck, it was nice.

Went to dinner at Aqua Grill for the first time last night; we are new to the area and are trying all of the local restaurants. So far, Aqua Grill has been our favorite. The service was friendly and efficient...clearly this is a staff who cares and is proud of where they work based on the enthusiasm with which they described the numerous chef's selections that evening. The hardest part was deciding what to eat, too many choices! We both chose fish entrees, which were extremely fresh and cooked to tender perfection. Our biggest surprise was how much food you got for the money. The pricing was reasonable and the meal included everything....salad, bread, starch and fresh vegetable. We even made some special requests to alter the preparation of our meal, which the chef obliged with no problem. Overall the ambiance was friendly and inviting, like you were in a friend's home, the value was excellent, and the staff was professional and attentive. Jacksonville Magazine was right on when they named Aqua Grill a Top 25 restaurant. We intend to try all of the restaurants on their list, but we feel we have found a local favorite and intend to dine at Aqua Grill again soon.

I'm so tired of the same old chain restaurants. My wife and I were so happy to find this great restaurant Aqua Grill in Ponte Vedra. The food was very fresh, the menu has so many exciting choices and the waitress was as friendly as could be. We ate outside on a busy night and loved the ambiance and how special they make you feel. No wonder this place has been there for seventeen years ( our waitress was proud to tell us that and said it was the popular restaurant for the local people). We had a tough time picking from a creative but reasonably priced menu; finally choose a steak and fish selection. The fish preparation was beautiful and quite delicious. My filet was cooked to perfection and the wild mushroom sauce really worked well with bacon whipped potatoes. Dessert was light and refreshing. We had a wonderful evening; the manager personally thanked us for dining with them. We can't wait to go back; I'm craving the crab salad already!

My husband and I came here for a special anniversary. We ordered drinks, a bottle of wine, and dinner. Our waitress disappeared after serving the wine. We had even told her it was a special occasion for us. She never re-appeared until about 30 minutes went by. At that point our food was still not ready so we asked for the check. Earlier I had seen the manager walking around asking people how they were doing. Well, do you think he even stopped at our table?! Or do you think they at least offered our first round on the house? Nope. We paid our tab and left hungry and disappointed. Shame on this place!
