Recently had a business event here. We reserved the private space outside on the water. It made for a great ambiance & the sailboat promenade at sunset was impressive. As for food, the star of the meal was the melt-in-your-mouth salmon entree. So good that I refused to talk to anyone while I was eating it so I could truly appreciate it. I enjoyed the bread pudding dessert for dessert as well. I didn't care as much for the shrimp appetizers but others seemed to enjoy it. The servers were attentive for the most part and it was neat that a live pianist played throughout the dinner. This place is fancy & pricy but a good option for a restaurant for a business event.

We had wonderful service - staff were attentive but not rushing us . All courses were beautifully prepared and taste lived up to the presentation .

Aqua was absolutely 5/5 stars. Couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. The ambience of sitting outside on a beautiful Seattle summer day with the sailboats passing by was incredible. We started off with a dozen oysters in the half shell. French fries for a baby too! Main courses included: Octopus Black cod King salmon Poke like dish Kids chicken tenders My meal specifically was the black cod, and it was fantastic. So tender and moist, perfectly cooked. I have high expectations when it comes to black cod and they nailed it. Also, the kids chicken tenders were a great sized portion. Kids could share these 100%

We attended an evening auction/dinner at AQUA last night and what a class act event. It was a magical evening and the food, drinks, service, outside and inside venues was the best quality and smoothly run event. The restaurant service from bartenders, wait staff, MC, to parking valets were amazing. Thank you, AQUA - just the BEST! Special shout out to server TORII - we got to the event a little late and this wonderful human still managed to deliver some sushi apps over to us before the dinner. You made our night and deserve kudos!

Came here for HH on 7/25/24 and had a really good experience. Valet parking is only $12 and they give you chocolate chip cookies when your car is returned. Exceptional service all around. This is to be expected at any El Gaucho establishment. Portions were generous and crowd is on the older side. (Seattle old money) Youcan't beat the views overlooking the water and space needle.

The experience was exceptional! We were sat outside, served our favorite drinks, that we specified ahead of time. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, suggested couple of his preferred dished. We followed the recommendation of sommelier to pair our food with local Columbian Valley wine which was superb and finished our dinner with a "Happy Anniversary" hand crafted cocoa powder personalized plate! The staff went above and beyond to make this even truly feel like a celebration.

Celebrated a friend's birthday at AQUA by El Gaucho on a Friday night. Ambiance: The table was beautifully decorated with a Happy Birthday card and rose petals upon arrival. AQUA offers a fine and comfortable dining experience with stunning views of the water, complemented by live piano music throughout the evening. Food/Drinks: We ordered dishes like king salmon, wild Alaskan black cod, rib chop, and seared scallops. Tim, our server, recommended the black cod, which was a standout dish. The food, including the shareable sides, was delicious, and the extensive wine, liquor, and cocktail selections added to our experience. We definitely appreciate the dessert at the end to top off the celebration! Customer Service: Tim provided exceptional service, patiently assisting us in selecting a bottle of wine by offering tastings. His attentiveness contributed to an enjoyable dining experience. Looking forward to returning for their Happy Hour!

Located next to the pier overlooking at the waterfront. A great place to see the sunset and have that water view. Reservation was made ahead of visiting. Valet parking available. We arrived just a little pass sundown and was seated in the greater dining area with booth seats. The atmosphere is inviting and classy. There was a pianist nearby playing some familiar melodies during the Saturday evening. Our server was Alex and he was attentive and helpful. We celebrated our anniversary and was treated with care by all the staff. We ordered the Seafood Bacchanalia to share. The seafood was delicious and fresh. Loved it. Would definitely come back again if I am in Seattle. Highly recommend. Great for Anniversary, Office Meetings, Celebration Dinners, Date Nights.
