My husband and I spent a week in Ponte Vedra, Fl for the Players Golf Tournament. While there we ate at the Aqua Grill. Everything was great. We started off sharing their fried green tomatoes. They came with a little sauce on them and I think goat cheese. On the side was some type of salsa that had seafood in... More

We blindly picked this spot off the internet as a convenient stop on a Florida trip, and were very happy with our experience. It's a little off the interstate, but worth the drive. Great food and ambience, and attentive service.

We ate outside on the deck and enjoyed the ambiance. Our appetizer, cornbread-crusted shrimp and brussel sprouts, was superb. Our entrees, crab cakes and almond-crusted redfish, were also wonderful. All the food is beautifully presented. Our waitress Amber was very friendly and totally knowledgeable about the menu. We really liked the opportunity to upgrade our dinner salads, which come with...

After years of ranking Aqua Grill as a personal favorite, a couple of not so great experiences (mostly with poor service) caused concern. Wrong orders, no offer to exchange or credit, only excuses. After avoiding it for a while, we decided to give it another try. Management has definitely taken control again and Aqua Grill is back! On recent trips,... More

Loved the lobster! This place has great food. The atmosphere is nice, especially on the patio overlooking a little pond and fountain. We did my birthday dinner here, and we both loved the food. A little bit expensive, but good quality.

Visited here with a large group. Food was very good (4), service was very friendly and good (4), but decor was very outdated and lighting was bad. Crowd was somewhat geriatric and cranky.
