Food Quality
Pros:
"The burger was amazing, really tender, juicy and tasty."
"Tried seafood linguine and that was excellent."
"The spicy prawn starter was a delight and the steak I had for main was cooked perfectly."
"Food was excellent, and Aqua were very accommodating to different dietary requirements."
"Delicious roast rack of pork and all the trimmings, good wine selection and a superb brownie."
"Portion sizes are insane, quality of the food was amazing and incredible value."
"The steak was cooked to perfection and was so tender, whilst the lamb was very generous in size and full of flavour!"
Cons:
"Food was poor. Scallop starter was tiny... Main of seafood linguine also poor, pretty tasteless."
"The food was overdone / almost burnt and tiny portions compared to the sizing before."
"The Cod was very over cooked."
"Probably the worst meal I have had for the money charged."
"The portions were small and the food nothing special."
"The food was bland, dry, uninspired and tepid."
"Tiny scallops for £13."
Service
Pros:
"Professional and polite staff."
"The staff were super lovely, we were served by a blonde lady who was amazing."
"Really nice manager with short blonde hair. Very friendly and had a good chat."
"The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our drinks were always topped up and the food was really delicious!"
"Extraordinarily well looked after by the fantastic Ellie and the rest of the team."
"The staff was exceptional, the food was even more exceptional and we would not hesitate to return."
"The staff service was amazing and we were made to feel really special."
Cons:
"Very disappointing. The restaurant ran out of basic pizza products and olives and some chicken dishes as it was the day after Valentine's Day."
"Near the end of our meal the waitresses started to clear our table and take away the food that we still wanted to eat."
"The wait for the food was very, very long."
"Had to wait over an hour for main meals, the meals didn't come out of the kitchen at the same time."
"However the biggest problem of all was the managers arrogant attitude."
"Booked for 8 p.m for 5 people. It's 10 past 9, we're still not served."
"As i presented my voucher he refused to accept it, he said 'this must be a printed copy' despite the fact that the previous member of staff who had now gone home said it was fine."
"Sat outside in the sun after and a very pleasant server gave us water (not requested) as he didn’t want us to become dehydrated."
"We stayed for around 3 hours because the atmosphere was also incredibly pleasant."
"Large space with outdoor seating."
Cons:
"To summarise this review, if you want to go to a restaurant following the government guidelines on Coronavirus then Aqua is not the place to go at the moment."
"However, the waiting staff were not wearing masks and seemed to be making no efforts to socially distance."
"The restaurant staff were not following social distancing rules either, and there were no masks being used."
"When the waiters or other customers walked between our tables they would be within about 10cm of each of us."
"The one downside was that electricians were working on the lighting alongside our table."
"I did not feel welcome in this space, essentially left with little service throughout."
"Too many staff being efficient they weren’t very efficient."
Value
Pros:
"All very reasonable, especially for the quality."
"Prices are reasonable and staff are really friendly and provide great customer service!"
"It's pricey, but not extortionately so."
"The food is really tasty."
"Amazing quality food which is extremely well priced for the standard."
"Good food and value for money."
"Found the food to be really good and very well priced."
Cons:
"Many foods on the menu were off (to save food waste) which means a very limited menu."
"Not too bad food but expensive."
"The quality of the food was expensive for what you get."
"Incredibly out of price."
"Given that it's pretty pricey, this isn't really good enough."
"Bill wasn't exactly cheap either as we paid £110 for two people."
"We got charged full price for cocktails even though there was meant to be an offer."
