Fantastic food and service. The pork chop melted in my mouth. It was a good date spot. May not be the best for kids. Drinks were also top notch.

The food and service were amazing. Every course was delicious and the presentation was intentional and gorgeous. 3 patios to choose from all with lake views, and the inside is upscale yet warm. Can’t wait to go back! We sat on the second story balcony and ordered the scallops, white tail, sea bass, and Elk. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had in the Midwest.

Service and food are top notch! One of the best places to dine in the twin cities. They sat 4 of us on the oudoor patio. We were able to hear awesone music from bar next door in addition to having a fantastic meal. I sadly was 10 days post achilles surgery and in a cast. Upon sitting down, our server was so kind as to offer an extra chair to elevate my leg. Sweet gesture indeed!

Simply the best. A true fine dining experience. Everything was perfect. Top notch customer service from everyone, especially Rachel, the waitress we had. She provided us with helpful suggestions every step of the way, let us sample wine so we could find what we truly enjoyed, and always checked in on us. Our drink glasses were never empty the entire time we were there. The food was magnificent, a step above all the rest and each bite was delicious from first to last. This place is worth every dollar you spend here. Highly recommended!

Absolutely knocked our socks off. Thank you for making a ribeye for me from the previous menu. It was special and delicious. My boyfriend had the best scallops he’s ever had coast to coast. The team that served us was absolutely amazing! Thanks for making our first anniversary a fantastic one.

We just had a fabulous dining experience at Acqua! Erin was our waitress and she was fantastic; honestly the best service we’ve had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the drinks were great. We dined by the water for a lovely date night experience. Great date night recommendation!!

We dined here for our 18th anniversary and loved the small plates for the courses! Our fave was the scallops as a 1st course!!! Melony H was a fabulous friendly server! She asked what the key to marriage is and I said honesty and my husband said laughter! I love that she engaged with us and I’d highly recommend her and this restaurant!!! Loved the view of the lake on the top floor inside!!

Food was fantastic! Came all the way from NJ and everything was fresh and delicious from the appetizers (crab cakes, caprese salad, shrimp, fresh corn, and apple salad) to the entrees (seared scallops and shrimp scampi) to the desserts ( chocolate souffle cake and NY cheesecake). Daron the owner was especially friendly and attentive give to every detail as was the whole staff.
