Aqua Bar - Perth

Visited this establishment yesterday, doors open so we made our way in. To be told they didn't open until 12 noon, wasn't a problem with us as it was only 10 mins to go and their menu did appeal to us. We did ask if we could take a seat, to a sharp reply "no" as they were still setting up. Looking around all tables were set with the essentials for any guest to take a seat. Decided to go next door and spend our $100. Checking this restaurant out when we had finished our meal next door, to find they only had three full tables. The staff member who greeted us, need to be reminded who pays her wages and how important it is to make everyone feel welcome, even if it is 10 mins early. We are interstate visitors and these types of experiences do stick in ones mind.

Had a lovely afternoon overlooking the river. Staff were busy, helpful and professional. Kept the food and drinks flowing very smoothly. All the dishes were lovely and hot with a good variety. Kept the tables cleared and the atmosphere was excellent. Only criticism, and it is a small one, was with the security. Was a weird look standing around with glasses on looking intense - several conversations made mention it made them feel uncomfortable. Tried to get people to "scull" their last glass when people were leaving. Not necessary! A large group all leaving at the same time will always have a few stragglers. I handed my glass to one of the wait staff. Perhaps could have had a better interval between last drink poured and eviction. Dampened a delightful afternoon. Well done though to the bar, wait staff and kitchen.

We had a family gathering here. Tapas food to share. Good variety and reasonably priced drinks. Seating in a large square was good.

Stafff were very friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions. Had a lovely cup of tea overlooking the Swan River. Great location and good value for money

Had some shared plates in here tonight. service was excellent as was the food. Beautiful view although the tables by the river were reserved but still really nice view. Quite expensive but worth it. Really enjoyed this place.
