Great restaurant by the water in Duck, NC. They have two outdoor seating areas, one in front of the restaurant and one to the side where you can see the sunset. There is live entertainment nightly so that is a nice plus. We got the bang bang shrimp and it was delicious on top of a slaw. All of us got the duck. The skin is crispy and savory. The duck meat was tender and juicy and it was served on hominy corn. Quite an interesting combination and delicious. Cocktails are great here with many unique choices.

After a poor experience at a different establishment we had left, we decided to come here. We had a great experience. We only had about a 20 minute wait on a busy Saturday night. We were seated outside, allowing us to see the sunset. Our waiter Bryan was great. He was very attentive and helpful. We got the catch of the day, Golden Tile Fish and it was AMAZING. It was beautifully seared with a nice crust, with a soft but firm center. We also got the sweet corn crab soup and a caesar salad with scallops added on. The soup was delicious, the corn flavor was a nice touch and there was a ton of crab meat in it. The Caesar salad was a perfect size and the scallops were very big and perfectly seared. Our mixed drinks were also made very well. The experience, food, and service was very exceptional. I would definitely recommend this.

Such a unique and incredible dining experience. They have a spa upstairs? So cool. Atmosphere is great right on the water and they have fans by all the tables which was a nice touch. Service was great the entire staff seems very passionate about the restaurant. They also apparently change up the menu every year so things don’t get boring and the food is so well thought out and delicious. If I had the critique the vegetarian curry dish wasn’t my favorite, but a great option for people who don’t eat meat and they even have a thing on their menu that they can cater to guests with allergies or dietary restrictions. But I got the duck to go and it was incredible! My fiancé said his salmon was the best he had ever had. And the cheesecake was mindblowing! 10/10 experience will be back when we are in the area and so worth it, the prices are very reasonable for what I feel is practically fine dining.

We had a party of six. About an hour wait. Food was delicious and fresh. Service was good. Would definitely recommend this place. My only issue is limited seating on the waterfront side.

We had an absolutely fantastic dinner at AQUA. JB was our server and he was amazing! He tended to our every need to include apps, dinner, drinks and dessert. We enjoyed calamari (outstanding), shrimp app, crab app, crab cakes, tuna and several desserts. The view was amazing too! We will definitely be back.

Last night of eating out with good friends and family. Topped off by a gorgeous sunset. Made the fact of the extremely high prices posted on the menus seem minute and easier to swallow because of the exceptional customer service that we received from the restaurant’s management & staff !!

Had a 7PM reservation but got there around 6:30 to have a drink at the bar and was seated instead. There was a window seat which we asked for but were declined. No one sat there during our meal. Our server was FANTASTIC! Entertaining, knowledgeable, & super friendly. We started with the whipped feta app and it was decent. Too salty and missing a little acidity. Got the steak, and will admit it was cooked a perfect medium. The accompaniments were a great addition. Flounder was the catch of the day and this dish was well executed. The fava beans, mushrooms, & remoulade were delicious. Dessert was the Bananas Foster Cheesecake & Key Lime Pie. The Bananas was again missing something. Maybe the flambé or a caramel drizzle. Key Lime just a little tart. Overall the experience was nice & id recommend trying Aqua.

Great waterside restaurant with friendly staff and an amazing view. Even more interesting was that there is a spa colocated on site, upstairs. I came for the food though. Lunchtime menu had a decent selection of food and drinks. The Big A$$ Fish Sandwich with the local special draft was a tasty and fulfilling way to spend the afternoon. As a truffle fry lover, I can say the truffle fries and house made sauce was . Recommend you stop by if in Duck!
