We ate lunch at Aqua twice this week. Our servers were phenomenal, friendly and knowledgeable. Our first trip a gentleman took care of us and it kills me that I don’t recall his name. The dude is a service industry hero. Edit: found the receipt, his name is Bryan. Today Kat took care of us and made our visit an absolutely exceptional experience thank you Kat. Cheers to Aqua for having such sensational people on their team
Food:
*Skip the duck wings, good but nothing extraordinary.
*Soup of the day Mushroom Bisque available? GET IT! Top ten dish.
*Soup of the day Red pepper/leek combo, also incredible.
*Pineapple fried rice is a stand out. No one flavor is too forward, the dish is a wonderful balance of gastronomic harmony. It has a touch of heat to it but nothing overwhelming. Add some shrimp!
* Cajun Pasta with shrimp. To many people Cajun implies spicy. Not so with this creamy dish. The flavors that make something Cajun are there with out heat. This was a subtle pallet pleaser that was a joy to devour. Spices combined in a harmony that make the whole greater than the sum of the parts.
*Catch of the day pan seared white fish was executed to simplistic perfection. The all-star was the wild rice side with pearl onions, inca peppers and other deliciousness that is worth your time.
*Ginger Snap Bread Pudding with a scoop of butter ice cream. The Mrs. said it tasted just like a ginger snap. I thought it was like a cinnamon roll. We both thought it was to die for! Warm, creamy, soft delight to end the meal.
Aqua is def worth your time.

My sister and I had lunch here yesterday and the service was wonderful and food was good. She had fish and chips and I did the tuna poke bowl, the bowl was beautiful, colorful and delicious. Tuna so fresh. We started with the banging shrimp. I don’t have picture of sister’s meal.

We had a great experience at Aqua. There were 6 of us and two dogs. Service was amazing! Drinks were great, and so were the apps and main course meals. Views were beautiful. One of the best restaurants in Duck.

If you’re looking for a European dinning experience this is a close competitor. As a European this was the first restaurant I tried in the outer banks that had a proper portion size(Not to big) and was seem to be high quality food not basked in cooking oil and butter. The food was fresh and didn’t leave that feeling of fat in ur stomach. The prices were high and we paid around 300$ for 4 people, but each dish was cooked excellently and you could tell a lot of thought went into it. Definitely would recommend

We had a delicious meal at Aqua. If you are vacationing in the Outer Banks then this place is a must. I got the roast chicken which was delicious. The vegetarian entree was excellent as well. I loved the crab soup as well.

Very nice place. The food was good and generous portions. The service was great. It was a little loud inside and they could not accommodate combining 2 reservations into one table so we sat separately.

AQUA in Duck is seriously awesome! The views are just unreal – you’re right on the water and it’s so pretty. But it’s not just the scenery, the food was amazing. Try the local fish. The people working there were super nice and took great care of us. Honestly, if you’re in Duck, you have to check out AQUA. You won’t be disappointed!
