- “
Although pricey, it's definitely worth the money overall if you're looking for quality seafood in a nice intimate/cozy setting. ”
- “
The service was attentive and informative, even down to serving an appetizer in two portions from a single order - not something you see often in a bustling nyc restaurant. ”
- “
Food is good for price. ”
- “
The prices are reasonable, especially for what you get at Aquagrill. ”
- “
I'm not one to highly recommend places, but this place is worth every penny (and that's a lot of pennies). ”
- “
Overall a great place if you are willing to spend the money. ”
- “
I've never met anyone who wasnt a huge fan, and frankly it's better than other, more expensive, seafood places in the city. ”
- “
We had the Seafood Plateau and it was a huge bucket. ”
- “
overall, despite our experience, the food was not as good as we expected, and in these economic times, not worth your dime. ”
- “
The prices are surprisingly reasonable. ”
- “
The same woman who told us about the complimentary desert had also done damage control with the table next to us when they sent back their huge clams they ordered steamed. ”
- “
great seafood at reasonable prices. ”
- “
The prices seemed reasoable enough and while I did enjoy the raw bar, my entree of the highly touted (by the maitre d and the server) swordfish was overcooked and bland. ”
- “
Very unpretentious, service is great, prices are excellent and you can't beat the freshness of the seafood. ”
- “
Speaking of which, Aquagrill can get a little pricey, but it's not exorbitant. ”
- “
the wine list is one of the most affordable and better wine lists i've seen around town. ”
- “
and there signature dish of salmon crusted with falafel was equally poor- skip this, save your money and buy your own fish at the market- I promise it'll somehow come out better! ”
- “
Food, of course, is always great but at a price of rude service. ”
- “
We also had the lobster salad for an appetizer which was expensive ($23) but contained lots of lobster meat and a multitude of flavors (chunks of avacado, citrus). ”
- “
The food is adequate; yet very expensive and the service left a horrible taste in my mouth. ”
- “
Hey, if you have more than two words to say to the person across from you, then a little wait for great food is a small price to pay. ”
- “
Seafood dishes are ample to very generous in portions (cod dish is great, specialty dishes recommended, bouillbaise was very good too, grilled fish anything all good). ”
- “
They were extremely fresh and I had fun trying a few of Aquagrill's huge variety. ”

We went for a quick lunch and both the crabcake sandwich and the lobster roll were fabulous. ”

Great food, slow service. ”

We ordered the warm apple tart from the ever-so-friendly waitress and several minutes later she came back to tell us they sold out earlier in the evening. ”

After waiting for too long we went next door to Fiama and had an amazing professionally handled meal. ”

Service was slow at the end. ”
