We went here for lunch and were very disappointed. The restaurant was not at all busy, yet it took forever for our 4 meals to be served. Then when they arrived, one of the orders was wrong. As for food quality, mine was the driest Reuben I've ever had, while the pulled pork sandwiches suffered the same fate. Overall, typical... More

I called the Aqua Restaurant & Bar today to inquire about space for my sister's rehearsal dinner. We were requesting space in August for 20-30 people in the evening. I wanted to report my disappointing experience with the events contact. I was asking questions to understand how an event is planned at this business as well as questions in regard... More

We had a party of nine and had made reservations since we were celebrating an anniversary and a birthday. We were seated in a semi-private section in the corner of the restaurant. We all fit fine, but the servers had a hard time serving around us with how the table was situated in the small space. Beautiful scenery. Waterfront. Nice... More

Our favorite OBX restaurant. Great seafood, wine list. Highly recommended! Not really a place for children.

Wife and I had a sunset dinner for 2 on the patio at Aqua. The food was terrific (her shrimp, my steak) and the service was awesome. We will be going back this summer for another date night when we head to OBX.

We were greeted so warmly and got a great table to watch the sunset. The food was delicious with fresh greens, fresh fish and good service.

I was lucky enough to be invited to this charming restaurant on a recent visit to duck. I loved the place so much, I insisted on going back the following evening for their Sunday beer and burger special. 2.00 beers. And the best hamburger and fries I have ever tasted. I found something that needs to be on the food... More

I am just home, returning from an awesome meal at Aqua Restaurant in Duck. My tummy is so very happy. The meal was satisfying, filling, and fun. The waitstaff couldn't be more friendly and attentive, just at the right times. And the view of the sound water from the bank of windows is simply stunning and so relaxing. My friends... More

Dined here for my birthday because my usual fav on the OBX was closed. Well, I now have a new fav. My drink is a dirty martini and I've had them all over this country. The bartender probably made THE best one I've ever had. And then came the sushi (only rolled on the weekends) and I was blown away.... More

Amazing food, particularly the drinks and desserts, and amazing sunset. This is a must for your trip. You are warned though that the truffle fries can be addicting.
