we have visited aqua three times now and every visit has left us wanting to return. Our server ,ivy, guided us our choices off the new menu like a true pro ! Everything we tasted including the wine suggested for us was excellent. Can not wait for our next aqua date night !

Love the fact that the menu changes periodically.The delightful atmosphere and the food is worth the price and wait . The outdoor seating area and bar are a wonderful addition to the awsome food and service.

The atmosphere at this casual fine dining restaurant is amazing. Everyone is very helpful and welcoming. We dined on the closed in patio and the food was amazing. They have tapas, small plates, large plates, salads, and desserts. We had the duck ravioli and shrimp and grits tapas and the filet mignon, crab cakes, and exotic mushroom filo small plates.... More

We had reservations, but got there a little early so we could enjoy a drink at the bar. The service at the bar was attentive even though it was very crowded. We sat an... More

We had several of the tapas selections and then shared a couple of the small plates, followed by the biggest creme brule that we've ever seen. Everything was perfectly presented and tasted wonderful. Excellent service and $5 martinis to boot.

My husband and I enjoyed two amazing meals at Aqua on a trip to Beaufort to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. First of all, the staff is incredibly friendly and responsive.
