W-O-W – I come to Aquavina probably three times a month and every time I leave I want to personally thank the chef. I am forever intrigued by what my experience will be like the next time, and the next time... What more can I say other than brilliant? This seafood restaurant is both inviting and delectable! Last night Chef Jason Pound served his Lobster Bisque as a delightful beginner to his most famous preparation of deer. Just one of the 10 new items from his newly prepared menu. (I happened to notice). I recommend bringin... read more

Food 10; Service 3 – This place has excellent and creative food with a fantastic chef. Too bad the wait staff doesn't care if you get what you ask for or not. My wife and I used to eat here once a week -- not anymore. For the class of restaurant this is you expect better service. On good days the service is acceptable, on bad days it is downright horrid. Forget about regular drink refils here and try not to ask for anything special, they will walk away only hearing half of your request then complain when you tell them they d... read more

User review by scooterbug – I held my rehearsal dinner at Aquavina and was delighted with the service & food! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone planning a group dinner. We had our cocktail hour on the terrace, followed by dinner in the private dining room. It was lovely & intimate!

Exceptional seafood – This was the most exceptional seafood I have ever eaten. The restaurant is beautiful and the service acceptable, but the food was truly remarkable. You should try the amber seared scallops or the ahi tuna over beluga lentils. They also have great salads, desserts, and a great view of the park from their outdoor patio. I thought I was back in San Francisco. I would dine here every week if my budget permitted, but I am willing to pay for fresh seafood prepared by this talented chef.

Needs a little attention – They say its hard to spend a lot a cheap places, but at this restaurant its hard to spend a lot because no-one is there to take your order. After finally getting noticed, I took the servicer's advice and had the grilled mahi. While the sauce, the custard and the accompanying lobster tail were awesome, the center piece mahi was overcooked (i.e. dry and tough). I'd give this place a second go 'round, but with much lower expectations.
