Aqua Bar & Grill

Third time's the charm! After a year, we decided to give Aqua another try. We figured that they must have changed something to still be open. I'm glad we went back, because everything is much improved.

The beer selection is excellent and reasonably priced, which was a surprise. For an appetizer we had the wings. They were good but not as described. Instead of being tossed in buffalo sauce, the sauce was served on the side, which I thought was a bit weird. The wings were big and crispy, but I like them a bit messier. I had the Cajun catfish sandwich. It had a nice zing to it and was big enough to eat the leftovers the next day (bonus!). My husband had the jambalaya and it was tasty, but inexplicably served over pasta instead of rice. If they just offered the option to serve it with rice I think it would be perfect.

The service was much improved, and so was the food. The chef even came out and talked to us, and seems excited about the changes they've made. If you were disappointed in Aqua as it used to be, I suggest giving it another try. I look forward to the continued improvements.

Right next door and I'd never been there. Bought a groupon and there you go. What a great find! The food was Wonderful! I had the Tilapia with sauteed vegetables and roasted potatoes. It was Grand! My girlfriend had the shrimp and pasta which was also wonderful. It takes a while, as everything is cooked fresh, but it is so worth it. Plus they have a great offerering of craft beers so idling a while is very enjoyable. Service was attentive but not overdone and as a nice touch the Chef came out at the end to see if evreything had been to our liking and to wish us a nice evening. So happy we found this place hidden off Sheridan.  We wii return!

i wanted to update that I received a phone call from the Chef soon after my posting.  he apologized and invited me to dine there with a guest. while i did not proceed with the invitation - i definitely appreciated the effort.  I'm not in a place where i would go back (yet), but its not on my banned list. I do really appreciate the call. Mistakes are mistakes and owning up to them as a service provider makes a big difference.
