WHat are you people talking about- the place is stuffy, snobby, and attracts a not so exciting crowd, and the meals were absolutely BLAND- I don't know how they made a delicious sounding special of Striped Bass with all these yummy acoutremants taste so c ”

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. ”
- “
overall, despite our experience, the food was not as good as we expected, and in these economic times, not worth your dime. ”
- “
Speaking of which, Aquagrill can get a little pricey, but it's not exorbitant. ”
- “
great seafood at reasonable prices. ”
- “
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). ”
- “
Very unpretentious, service is great, prices are excellent and you can't beat the freshness of the seafood. ”
- “
Although pricey, it's definitely worth the money overall if you're looking for quality seafood in a nice intimate/cozy setting. ”
- “
We had the Seafood Plateau and it was a huge bucket. ”
- “
the wine list is one of the most affordable and better wine lists i've seen around town. ”
- “
The prices are reasonable, especially for what you get at Aquagrill. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
I've never met anyone who wasnt a huge fan, and frankly it's better than other, more expensive, seafood places in the city. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
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). ”
- “
Food is good for price. ”
- “
The food is adequate; yet very expensive and the service left a horrible taste in my mouth. ”
- “
Overall a great place if you are willing to spend the money. ”
- “
I'm not one to highly recommend places, but this place is worth every penny (and that's a lot of pennies). ”
- “
They were extremely fresh and I had fun trying a few of Aquagrill's huge variety. ”

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

Prompt seating (less than 15 minutes without reservation) and very friendly service. ”

The service was professional and attentive- they even let us move to a cozier table that opened up 20 minutes after we'd been seated. ”
- “
We went for a quick lunch and both the crabcake sandwich and the lobster roll were fabulous. ”

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. ”

Great food, slow service. ”
- “
Service was slow at the end. ”
