A well-deserved fresh fish lunch after walking the glorious cliff path. All 3 of us had the very good chowder with excellent bread to start. Then 2 fish and chips - the pieces of haddock were plump and juicy - and I had the hake...on mash and spinach, which was delicious (though I would have preferred to dose my own melted butter sauce: it was delicious, but I’m not personally used to eating that much butter). Service was correct and attentive without being obtrusive. Dining room is very pleasant, with great views. For all these reasons, we had a memorable meal at Aqua and loved our day out at Howth.More

A good location for a 180 degree view of the sea. Service very friendly. The ambience good. Clean throughout. Food very average. Prawn cocktail lacked flair, very standardised and boring. The Chowder was good. Fish and chips very mediocre. Small haddock with a very lack...lustre batter. Chips were fine and the mushy peas dry.More

Celebrated my 60th birthday! They were excellent! Ask for Sean, you will be so pleased!!!! Foos was exquisite! Service as well!

My wife and I loved it, food excellent & service above and beyond. Attentative staff who truly deserve a good tip.....we'll be back, thank you.

As a local I had visited this restaurant many times in the past, my last visit was a couple of years ago. It was, without exception, one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had - I will NEVER go again.

There's a line of restaurants on the pier extending out to the lighthouse in Howth. Any of them are good... I can prove it - I ate at two the same day. Had lunch at Aqua which was the former yacht club. Small, quaint but...nicely appointed dining room with a small but spectacular bar. Wait staff was exceptional - no wait on this given day for a table, but we were very satisfied with fish and chips accompanied by a Caesar salad.More

Great fresh seafood with an amazing view. Staff was friendly and attentive. Dover Sole was amazing. A great end after walking the cliffs.

My wife and I had a fabulous lunch at Aqua. The view was second to none. The food and service were all top notch. We enjoyed the Rock Oysters along with Salmon and Seafood Chowder. Everything was flavorful and fresh.

Amazing views, amazing Seaford platter and great service, thank you for a memorable dinner. Highly recommend as a special treat

I took my aunt and Uncle to lunch a few weeks ago. We have come 1 to 2x a year the past 7 years to enjoy the food and beautiful view at Aqua I do not think we will be returning. The service was quite...poor. We were greeted at the top of the stairs by somebody barely friendly who did not smile at all. No greetings , no warmth.We were waited on by a tall waiter of foreign origin ( his accent was certainly not Irish ) who appeared to be totally bored and uninterested in serving us. No smile , never asking how we were doing , serving the plates fast and not even looking at us. On top of it all he served the wine so poorly that he dropped quite a bit of the said wine on the table. My calamari appetizer was very good ,the pinot blanc from Alsace was fine but my monkfish entree was bland and lacked taste.My aunt’s gnocchi were also bland. It is really too bad because I remember the food at Aqua being uniquely tasteful. This why we kept coming back The best way to sum up our experience, average!More

We arrived when they opened (literally when they opened) and was told there were no tables available in the dining room. We were instead shown to the downstairs area, the menu was different, the crab were not even locally caught. I ordered the fish n...chips. They claimed the fish to be fresh, but still no flakes and very dense. The chips was obviously bought frozen and not fresh cut. All in all a disappointment.More

Straight from England, we visited for lunch craving fresh cooked fish, and we were not disappointed! The Aqua Sauvignon Blanc paired perfectly with my dish. A brilliant choice!
