Title: A Great Experience - Review: I had heard good things from friends of mine and decided to see for myself. I was immediately greeted by a polite hostess and sat on the small, but cozy patio. The wait staff was friendly and efficient from beginning to end. Never having to ask for anything. The appetizer was spectacular and the martini's even better. I highly recommend the Tartare. My main course was the Ahi and it was prepared perfectly. NOT OVERDONE! The potato cake had a touch of wasabi and it was a good companion to the Ahi. The presentation was as good as the flavors. I look forward to returning to Aqua Blu in the future and trying more of their Asian style cuisine.

Title: Aqua Blu - Review: For appetizers, we chose the crab cakes and the chicken satay. Crab cakes were excellent, and the satay was pleasant. It was disappointing that the waiter did not know the chef's name, nor offer to discover it for us. For entree, we had the bass and the filet. The filet was disappointing - Ruth's Chris is the place for that. The bass was good, but not inspiring. Presentation of the plates was beautiful, wine list good, but service was mediocre. Our career waiter really did need to find a different career! Despite knowing it was a birthday, waiter did not even congratulate the person. I would not return here - there must be a better fusion experience!

Title: Aqua Blu was great! - Review: We were looking for fresh fish and seafood in a modern setting - we found it. The food was excellent as was the service. They even helped us select a great wine to go with it all.

Title: Best dining experience in San Diego yet! - Review: I was really shocked how great the food was here. I had the mushroom crusted salmon and my date had the beef filet with truffled onions and it was great. I'm a bit of a foodie and have dined in some of the best restaurants in the US and Aqua Blu is among them.

Title: Best seat on 5th - Review: We had an early reservation which was good because we got an outside booth before the place filled up. We had an outstanding merlot with dinner which was very nicely prepared. The salmon and the ahi tuna both excellent. The service was friendly and perfectly timed even though the restaurant was almost full. In all a very enjoyable dinner.

Title: Disappointed - Review: I was very excited to go for my boyfriend’s birthday after reading the great reviews. We LOVE seafood, and hoped to be impressed. I knew I might be in for a bad dinner when the host informed me they had no valet! We looked past the fact that there were only a few seafood items on the menu, and hoped that they would be extra good because of it. However that was not the case. We both ordered two of our waiter’s recommendations, and they were sub par to say the least. The service was awful and the waiter didn't even acknowledge that we were there to celebrate a birthday. I will not be returning!

Title: Disappointed - Review: We were disappointed in the choices and the prices. They were a lot higher priced then posted on sample menu.You also did not get much as you had to order sides. I had the sea bass 31.oo and it came sitting on bokchoy and that was it. Plus the food was ok not great and parking was horrible. Had to pay valey 17.oo down the street as we couldnt even get right in front of the resturant. Service was good.

Title: Disappointed with food, waitress's knowledge - Review: Perhpas it was the night - Jazzfest - but we were disappointed with our experience at Aqua Blu, the food, the waitress's knowledge of the menu, small things. In the first course, the lobster bisque emerged lukewarm, it was quickly repolaced (micro-waved?)when we complained, but it got things off to a rocky start. During the second course, while the portions of protien were quite reasonable, the sea bass was served with burned potatoes and the snapper (rockfish?) was served with a few scraggly, disiccated longbeans. The waitress had very little knowledge about the menu... I asked about the sauce on the seabass, I was told it was a tomato sauce - which technically it was, but I am use to more colorful descriptions of the dishes I order. According to the menu, it was a smoked tomato sauce with red pepper. She also drew a blank when we asked about the sauce for the snapper (another waiter indicated it was a red bean vinegarette). At one point I asked for our candle to be lit, it rema ... Full Review

Title: Enjoyed it - Review: I came to this restaurant based on a recommendation from colleagues. We were a party of 8 people and the staff was very accomodating considering we were late for our reservation. We all loved the seared ahi and the mussels are a must have. According to the other reviews, I thought that yes, the prices are a little high, but, my entree was ample and flavorful. I will definitely return here on my next business trip to San Diego.
