Title: failed to meet expectations

Review: I had read several reviews of Aqua Blu and the good ones definitely seemed to outweigh the bad ones. As such, I suppose I set my expectations too high. It was not a bad dining experience, yet, nothing memorable enough about it to return. The waiter seemed disinterested in us and was just unenthusiastic about being at work. The physical atmosphere was enjoyable and well put together. The starter and main courses had good flavor, especially the sea bass. Portion sizes were nothing to brag about by any means. I think prices should be lower as the restaraunt has not yet established itself as one of the premiers in the gaslamp. Hope this helps.

Title: Great

Review: Everything about this restaurant exceeded expectations. Their Sake was excellent, and reasonably priced. The duck spring rolls were flat out amazing, and my entree was cooked perfectly. I was surprised at the portion size, which was large for a restaurant of this price range. The staff's timing was perfect, and they were very friendly. Great atmosphere, my only complaint is the small table we were seated in. All together, a fantastic dining experience.

Title: Overpriced

Review: The service was good. The food was o.k. but for the price you pay, it should be better. Nice decore.

Title: Loved It.

Review: My boss took 5 customers to Aqua Blu and came back raving about the food and service stating it was all wonderful. The only negative was the noise level but the service, food and atmosphere made up for the noise. Loved it and will go back.

Title: Quality not proportional to price

Review: I took a business party of four to this restaurant on a January friday evening. The atmosphere was very nice and the waitstaff was above average in thoroughness, courtesy and timing. The food was somewhat more expensive than comparable downtown restaurants. Entrees were slightly more and appetizers were ridiculous (I paid thirteen bucks a three-shrimp cocktail). Now, I don't balk at price when it comes to providing an enjoyable dinner for colleagues and customers. But I do insist on value for the money and I can only say that the food was mediocre in flavor and the portions insufficient in the estimation of my party.

Title: WAY overrated

Review: This restaurant is extremely overrated. San Diego is quickly filling up with restaurants that are "full of themselves" and not "filled with great food". This is a prime example of a restaurant that is full of itself. The fish had too much flavor added to it. Rather than allowing the natural flavors of the fish to come through, the only thing I could taste were the seasonings added to it. The menu stated that my dinner came with green beans. Don't be fooled- two green beans came out on my plate. I was so upset with dinner, that to the extreme suprise of my boyfriend, I opted to skip on dessert (and that never happens). When you pair the disappointing food with the mediocre service we received, this is not a good restaurant to go to for seafood. There are MANY other choices in San Diego with excellent service, where the food is great, and they won't skimp on the portions.

Title: Its our anniversary!!!

Review: Very romantic setting, me and my wife went here for our first anniversary. The food was o.k. for me she actually loved her entree. We had a very nice time at Aqua Blu. I dont think I would eat there again though. Really nice place but not our style.

Title: Outstanding

Review: We sat at two-top out on the patio and had a wonderful evening. The Ahi and Crab Cake apps were presented with creative elegance, and the flavors were bold and complimentary. The Miso herb-crusted Halibut was prepared perfectly and went great with the woked veggies. Our server reccomended the Brancott Reserve Sauvignon Blanc that was a perfect pair to the meal.

Title: Incredible

Review: Foood not only delicious but beautiful as well. The specialty of the house is a whole lobster friend in tempura batter. Out of this world. Everything including the service. Right up there with number one.
