What Ariana restaurants likes about Aquarius:
We stayed at the Dream Inn so this restaurant was an easy choice. I'm so glad it was because it was fantastic! We dined in the restaurant for dinner the first night and then had room in from the restaurant the 2nd night. It was delicious each time. The restaurant itself has great views and live music when we were there. Outstanding restaurant! View all feedback. What Sean McManus doesn't like about Aquarius:
2017 Dinner: The restaurant week menu was on the unimpressive side. Not nearly as appetizing as prior years, though the desserts were still pretty solid. I'd have to try the individual items again to compare quality with other experiences, but the menu has become radically inconsistent. Creativity, variety, and presentation have been replaced with bulky portions. Still a great view, but food just ok for the most part. Some exceptional dishes to be found, but you'll have to hunt for them.

Look, the food is not truly gourmet but the beschside setting is fabulous and surprisingly unique in this town. It's best for brunch.

Perfect sea view. Fantastic food. Superb service. Pricy though. I think this restaurant is part of the nearby inn, you can charge to hotel bill.
