Ever since we tasted chef-owner Jeremy Marshall's inspired falafel-crusted salmon, the notion of a naked pink fillet has been tough to swallow. But despite the high level of cooking, an offbeat and well-priced wine list, and unexpected grace notes like a welcoming amuse-bouche and complementary petits fours, it's still a rollicking neighborhood spot, where you can park yourself at the lively bar and watch the dexterous oyster shucker in action.

really disappointing for brunch

We went to Aquagrill for a weekend brunch, party of 4. We took a really good Grilled Rare Yellowfin Tuna sandwich, fresh fish well-cooked, a nice but not surprising Warm Grilled Chicken Salad, a disappointing too dry Aquagrill Big Burger and finally the Traditional Eggs Benedict which was really difficult to eat. The eggs were well cooked but the ham was elastic and absolutely not good (I had to remove it), the potatoes looked like old and totally burned and the overall plate had a strange taste. The waiters who bring or remove plates are really rude, grumpy and not attentive. This restaurant is probably of a nice value for fish but to avoid for a “classic” brunch.
not worth the hype, but good bar

We had great service and enjoyed the oysters and florida stone crab legs immensely. However, our bouillabaisse was sub-par and lacked the saffron promised in the menu. We ordered the red drum fish but after ordering, they said they ran out but could put the barramundi in the same sauce; we agreed. Upon arrival, they had mistakenly served the barramundi in the turbot sauce, not the red drum. The waiter realized and apologized. We decided to forgive because it was already so late in the evening. After declining a dessert, they brought a pumpkin dessert as an apology, but we were too full. We politely declined the dessert but thanked them for their generosity. We expected a little compensation for our efforts and their failed attempt, but nothing was removed from the bill. We left a 20% tip and our comments. The food was not as good as we expected, and in these economic times, not worth your dime. Good luck if you try it, but your best bet is getting some drinks and oysters at the bar. At least, that's all we'll ever do in the future.
