I was on my way to the MAyo Clinic for surgery. We wanted a quick early evening dinner. We optained a reservation even though the "Players Golf Tournamant" was on. Service was just what we wanted: quick and efficient, but not pushy (as might be expected so they could turn the table). We only had appetizers and a bottle of... More

We came here after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed! Make sure you have the cornbread shrimp with brussels sprouts appetizer. It sounds awful but was truly delicious. Good service, good food. Glad we came.

Our experience was not what we expected for a $100 meal for two with no wine and only one person ordering drinks! The salads had wilted lettuce and there was no bread served. We were seated outside by the lake and the view was pretty but people did come outside to smoke ,so it was not the best environment for... More

My husband and I spent a week in Ponte Vedra, Fl for the Players Golf Tournament. While there we ate at the Aqua Grill. Everything was great. We started off sharing their fried green tomatoes. They came with a little sauce on them and I think goat cheese. On the side was some type of salsa that had seafood in... More

Conveniently located next to the Marriott Sawgrass and the Players golf course. Great ambiance with inside and outside tables. Menu is extensive and full of great dishes. We only managed to try a couple but the fried green tomatoes were great There was a mix up on the main course but it was clear this restaurant equips all its employees... More

We blindly picked this spot off the internet as a convenient stop on a Florida trip, and were very happy with our experience. It's a little off the interstate, but worth the drive. Great food and ambience, and attentive service.

We ate outside on the deck and enjoyed the ambiance. Our appetizer, cornbread-crusted shrimp and brussel sprouts, was superb. Our entrees, crab cakes and almond-crusted redfish, were also wonderful. All the food is beautifully presented. Our waitress Amber was very friendly and totally knowledgeable about the menu. We really liked the opportunity to upgrade our dinner salads, which come with...

After years of ranking Aqua Grill as a personal favorite, a couple of not so great experiences (mostly with poor service) caused concern. Wrong orders, no offer to exchange or credit, only excuses. After avoiding it for a while, we decided to give it another try. Management has definitely taken control again and Aqua Grill is back! On recent trips,... More
