1. Aqua Grill

Aqua Grill is your place to go in Ponte Vedra without question. my wife and i enjoyed an unbelievable dining experience on Friday night July 24, 2009. we sat in the bar for ten minutes waiting on a table and quickly found out that this is the place where the locals go to in Ponte Vedra. we were told they have been here for 21 years and are considered an institution on the First Coast. the warmth and friendliness of the staff really impressed us and we thoroughly enjoyed the upbeat bartenders but that was just the start. of our special evening. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and told she loved her 8 years working here. she was quite informative with menu suggestions but i got to say that picking a just one entree from Aqua's diverse menu is tough. So many choices sounded so good. we started with some fresh local Mayport shrimp and grits ( server told us that Aqua Grill prides itself on getting the best quality seafood and meats they can get and our shrimp was local fresh not frozen shrimp ) which was a great beginning. my wife had the sockeye salmon special and as the menu states is definitely world class. my filet was one of the best steaks i have had in a long while and the truffled hand cut French fries were amazing. our special crab salad and Caesar salad were fresh & delicious. we split a dessert which was very good also ;but i must admit ; they are not shy with their portions and we could not finish dessert and took most of it home. what i particularly liked was the owner/mgr was checking on all the tables and seemed to have great interaction with guests. Aqua Grill is a MUST in Ponte Vedra; we travel alot and eat at the finest restaurants and my wife agreed this place can hold a candle to the best restaurants around. we finally found a place in town we can really look forward going and i cannot wait to try more of their delicious cuisine. KUDOS TO AQUA GRILL!
