Went for a family members birthday dinner. kitchen made a couple mistakes on the parties food, multiple drinks took very long, I personally was served a drink in a cracked rocks glass, and when my order was finally arriving; the meal was about to given to the table next to me by the server asst. Luckily for us at least the food tasted good and one of our servers Mister Rhett was on point.

If negative five stars was an option that's what this "restaurant" would get. Or I was just lucky enough to have the god awful server Kenan, he didn't attended to our table more than 2 times the whole night. One of those times being when he brought the "chef" Chris out from the back when we asked a question about our order being completely wrong. In which Chris only came out to basically chew us out for having a single complaint. He was rude and doubled down by cooking horrible tasting entrees. 10/10 would NOT recommend to anyone. Or come on Chris's day off if

Came here for New Year's Eve fortunate to grab a reservation on time. It was a 5 minute walk from tpc Marriott where we were staying. Tried the fried green tomatoes and shrimp for appetizers both were real good. For the main course I ordered the Cantonese fried snapper with roasted veggies on a bed of basmati rice. It came with a Mongolian bbq sauce and a sweet and sour sauce. Both sauces tasted very good with the snapper. And for dessert I tried the key lime pie. The pie was amazingly good highly recommended. Great wine selection to we went with a Pinot Grigio. It was also a NYE menu so I

Great service! We made a reservation and were seated promptly with our requested outdoor table. Ambiance is beautiful- waterside table with jazz playing. We ordered a white wine flight and the aqua new fashion for drinks (pictured). We also had the deviled eggs as an appetizer. Our meals were the baked salmon and my husband the seafood chowder and oyster Rockefeller. Everything was delicious!! Highly recommend!

Excellent place to come to for a unique experience overlooking the water. Great service. Lots of food!
Came here as I was staying at the resort nearby and was hungry with family. Ended up getting the chicken entree and had a little of the fish someone else got. The service is great and reminds me of what Olive Garden would be if they specialized in seafood with higher overall quality. They do take reservations but we were lucky to get a remaining free table on the porch overlooking the water.
Definitely recommended. Somewhat expensive.

Great service !
Great food !
We were a party of 5...on a Saturday night.
We were easily accommodated for an early dinner rsvp and sat towards the front of the restaurant.
Everything was great ... just a little too loud.
Maybe it was the acoustics or open ceiling.
I will ask for a table towards the back of the restaurant next time.
We will be back !

The food and atmosphere were great. We had a very good time...get the Brazilian house wife (or two). The fish and pork chops were delicious. The mac n cheese was creamy and the collard greens weren't bad either. We were outside but they had heaters so it was comfortable. With jazz playing in the background, you couldn't ask for a better experience. And our server (Rhett) was awesome too!

Nice location and decor but very busy and noisy.
Typical high-end restaurant menu but nothing outstanding.
The stone crab was crazy expensive ($32 for 1/2 lb of medium claws) and were watery and obviously had been frozen.
The grilled triggerfish was as dry as sand.
The bread, which looked fantastic (soft, hand-formed "knots") was oddly bland and needed lots of butter and salt.
Our waitress disappeared for a good 20 minutes after greeting us.
The bill was $385 (before tip) for 5 people with 1 drink each and a bottle of their lowest priced wine.
You are kind of stuck in the Ponte

This is the best restaurant near Ponte Vedra. You must try it while you're in town. Perfect atmosphere, day or night, indoor or outdoor. Great for business group dinner or a date. We had the filet mignon and the scallops. Aqua Grill is great for keto / low carb, as they will substitute any pasta or potato for asparagus or brussel sprouts. Wonderful presentations! Follow your meal up with a doppio espresso with cream. Yummy! Can't wait to go back!

Aqua Grill has an excellent menu and delicious food. Great place to meet friends- there is something very good to eat
for everyone. I enjoy the cod pad Thai and my husband loved his swordfish.
Good, friendly service and atmosphere. Outdoor seating is comfortable and conversational. Indoors has a modern look.
We have never been disappointed, it's always good!

Delicious! Came for a catered dinner party and everything was superb! The bang bang shrimp has the most delicious pineapple salsa. Meatballs were big and very flavorful. The Aqua grill salad had the perfect mount of dressing. We had the chicken caprese was very tender. The New York strip was cooked perfectly. Everything was AMAZING — combined with excellent service and the overall feel of the restaurant this place is a TEN! Highly recommend.

I really wanted to give them a good review but I will be honest with my experience I had at this place.The place has great atmosphere and the hostess was courteous, but the food(Alaskan Cod with vegetable pad thai) had way too strong flavor and made me extremely thirsty. I ordered this dish because I wanted something light in flavor and enjoy the cod but ended up being completely opposite. It just made me wonder whether if an average person would like a dish that has this much strong flavor.
I managed to eat about a half of it... on the positive note, the ingredients were fresh.

We've driven past a million times heading to one of our usual favorites, but never stopped in. We wanted to try something new for Father's Day, so made a reservation. Wow! What an amazing place. Lovely location and decor. Diverse menu options. Huge portions. I had the fried pork chops, which were extremely flavorful yet simple. The Mac n cheese was also very tasty. Not bland or heavy like many are. My husband had the chicken piccata and loved it. Unvaccinated servers and staff wearing masks.

We had family in from out of town, and Aqua Grill is our go to place for always having a great meal. Last night did not disappoint. We had lovely seating on the patio, great food - perfectly prepared and served. My son in law wanted to watch the Las Vegas Golden Knights Hockey game, and Denise, our wonderful waitress, accommodated. This brought on a discussion of Vegas and she found out that my Grandson had just graduated High School - She ran back to the kitchen and came out with a lovely Congratulations platter with a slice of delicious cheesecake.

Our party of 4 made 7pm reservations and were promptly seated in the rather crowded outside screened seating area. Our server took our drink orders and since the restaurant was so busy knew there might be a wait for both drinks and food. Well drinks came but food...tick tock tick tock. Finally we were advised our orders were not entered but they would rush them...2 🌟 as they should have offered us at least another round😒due to the delay. Now the food. Bill and I shared a $9 Lettuce Wedge...over priced and lacking 3 🌟. Clam Strips were good 5 🌟 as was another's salad so 5 🌟. I ordered

We had an awesome time. My fiancé has been struggling with working from during Covid, she loves being outside, she is a social butterfly . So I try to do a good job of taking her out to nice restaurants so she can put on some sexy cloths and enjoy her self. Aqua Grille did not disappoint. They had great food and great service. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars and not 5 is because too many times I saw guests walking around without masks. I know it's not directly their fault, but in these times there needs to be someone being strict of the policy of wearing masks when you are walking

The staff was super friendly dog and accommodating to a large party and we had a great meal. The drinks were tasty as well as the food. The wait staff was also very friendly and assisted with the drink menu as things have changed in the current times.
I believe they are operating under a limited menu, which is to be expected.
Would definitely come back and try more foods!
