“ We purchased the "Christmas Turkey to Go" package for 350 and it was phenomenal. The turkey was enormous and the meat was tender. A lot of lemon, ginger, herbs, onions, celery was used. The package came with all the sides such as salad, bread, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, potatoes, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. All top notch quality. More than enough for 12 people. We had ordered in previous years from a couple of well known venues in downtown for more money, but the Acqua package delivers by far the best value and quality. ”
“ My husband and I met some friends at Acqua Restaurant last night. We all had the Prime rib special. It really was the best Prime rib I've ever had! The Yorkshire pudding was huge and delicious, and everything was cooked perfectly. The restaurant was immaculately clean and well lit. Also, I can't say enough about the staff. Denis the manager was great. He came out to talk to our table, and was very friendly. Rachel our server was outstanding. We will definitely be going back to Acqua. Thank you for a wonderful evening. ”
“ As part of our stay here, we had a spending amount for the restaurant. We chose the Acqua Express Breakfast, the Any Style Fried Eggs, and the Belgian Waffles. The waiter was super friendly and accommodating. He gave us some great advice when ordering. Our meals were very nice. The eggs were cooked appropriately, and the waffles were nicely made. The hashbrowns were essentially tater tots - no complaints here! The bacon was on the fatty side, but that's pretty normal. Overall, we had a nice dining experience here. ”
“ The 3 of us came here for happy hour and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is tucked up the hill inside the Executive Hotel. It is nice and quiet where the only noise you hear when sitting in the patio are fellow restaurant goers and hotel guests. The happy hour menu is decent for both drinks and food. Prices are reasonable as well. The customer service feels like the approachable service we used to have years ago. The decor appears to be stuck in the age of the approachable service, but I personally don't mind the nostalgia. We will definitely come back again. ”
“ My wife and I went for the prime rib dinner and this place and it met And exceeded our expectations by a lot. We started with the Cajun chicken wings which were delicious and a good amount for the price. We got a prime rib dinner and the dine out menu. For dine out we had the soup which was great, and the steak which was unbelievably tasty and cooked perfect. The dessert that came with it was fantastic as well. The prime rib dinner was the best part though, a huge, delicious,perfectly cooked slab of meat, gravy and vegetables. Our server Rachel was easily one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had in my life. Her attention to everything was unbelievable. My wife and I were incredibly impressed with everything here, we’ll definitely be back and recommend checking it out. ”
“ Came here with my girlfriend for her birthday. Everything was excellent, our waitress recommended us a west coast salmon and a beef sirloin steak. We got it so fast and honestly salmon was something fantastic. At the end of a dinner we got cake, what was very surprising. So in total the server was very professional and friendly, restaurant has huge patio, what is perfect for a summer. Going to come back here for sure! ”
