I was a little dissapointed at my lunch here at Aqua, as can be the case with restaurants with great views, they didn't really deliver on the food. My entree was a very sad little fig soaked in a vinaigrette of some description (nice) surrounded by several slices of a descent proscuitto with the most minuscule amount of gorgonzola (hardly...

The wine selection is good, with... More
