Review Aqua - Tampa

Chicken wings were good, the side veggies were not fresh. The flat bread pizza is a good option from their menu. Location close to highway so you hear vehicles driving be prepared for the noise. Servers were very polite and welcoming.

A quick spot if you are staying on the Westin. The turkey club was absolutely delicious as well as the fries. I would eat both again at any time but bring your appetite since they load you up. The negative was the wait time but the staff were overwhelmed so not blaming them.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is as quiet and low key. It was just what I was looking for after work. The fish tacos were delightful. The potato soup was hearty and filling. The bartender, Jimmy, was attentive. He gave exceptional customer service.

Nice place inside the Hilton that we thought was a buffet because it looks like that from the windows.... But we sat out on the patio under the lights and it was beautiful. The food was delicious and the appetizer portions are enormous so you definitely can share them. Our server was beyond friendly and took care of us very well.

To Joe, Chris, and all other management and staff of AQUA: you gave us 5 star service! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 We held a 60th Birthday Celebration for my mother and this crew just were so accommodating from beginning to end! Setup was timely, actually very early. We had everything we needed. We were checked on often. If we needed scissors they got it. We needed tablecloth they got it. They stored the cake in the fridge until the time. Alyssa our server was on it! There was another server assisting as well. But, we had a big party and it didn't seem to fluster her or anyone! Just sooooo accommodating! Made my mother feel so special and all of our friends as well! The food was good, but the service is what puts you over the top for this review! Kudos to all! ❤️

Had reservations for a graduation dinner at Aqua. Food was fantastic! The chef made the graduate a beautiful dessert platter. Chris our waiter was awesome. Great place for special events.

Great food! Had the Aqua burger and Tuscan flatbread. Even though the scenery includes the highway, it's not tremendously distracting. Keith, our server, was great, personable, amicable! If there's any issue with service, ask for Keith.

This was my first visit to Aqua and it was wonderful! I went here for a lunch meeting for work and was pleasantly surprised. View/Decor - It has a nice waterfront view from most of the seats in the restaurant. Patio seating is also available. During the colder "Winter" months the patio has the heater towers. The entrance door has a neat metalworks fish adorning the top. There is also a peaceful waterfall upon the entrance. Since this restaurant is at the base of the Westin Hotel, there is random artwork throughout the waiting area and bathroom foyer. Waitstaff was pleasant and professional. Food - I ordered the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich. This sandwich has a thick juicy chicken breast topped with roasted tomato, and sauteed spinach covered with fresh buffalo mozzarella(way better than regular cow's milk mozz), all between two chiabota rolls coated with basil pesto. The fries were good. I asked for double fried and they delivered extra crispy fries! Bonus points! Adult Beverages - I ordered the Very Berry Mojito. The drink was fantastic! It definitely needed to be strained a bit as the fresh organic blackberries contain a lot of seeds. The mint was fresh, in beautiful shape, had a nice color and is also organic! Great choice in drinks.

I had the sirloin steak and it was delicious! 😋 not a fan of this cut steak...I'm a filet mignon type of gal...buy this was yummy! They will be expanding their menu soon! ...came here a couple of years back and was surprised to see their menu so scaled back bit it was awesone!

Tampa’s best kept secret!! We wanted an option for outdoor seating that offered fresh menu options. Our lunch was exceptional, service was fantastic and we will return. So many healthy options to choose from as well. It’s OK to cheat with a dessert!

The best black bean burger and sweet potato fries I’ve ever had! Great service and view! Pleasantly surprised after reading the mixed reviews. Note for management: I suggest designating a smoking area away from the outdoor dining. (Several people came out while I was eating and filled the dining area with smoke.)
