    The food was amazing, best I’ve had in Caloundra. Unfortunately it was SO noisy we couldn’t speak to each other. It was as though the sound echoed around the room. It was a busy night and mostly closed up because it had been raining, so hopefully when it’s more open it won’t be so loud. It was so bad it completely spoiled our date night.

    The restaurant is in a great location and the food and service were good. Food came promptly and everyone was satisfied with their meals. Thank you for clarification of the $70 booking fee that has since been refunded.

    Hi Vanessa, Thank you for your review. The deposit (booking fees) is due to deduct on your total bills later at the end of the night. The deposit is to show us the booking is genuine & its only apply for booking more than 6 guests. In the event of its hasn't been taken off, we will provide a refund on the deposit.

    The lunch special is great value but the dining room was stuffy with no air flow. Louvres on the windows closest to the beach would enhance a breeze. There were no fans where we were seated.

    The food was absolutely amazing, we got a variety of things around the table and everything was spot on. We also got our meals surprisingly quick considering they were pretty much fully booked. The service was impeccable everyone was lovely and on the ball with drinks and refilling water. We will absolutely be back to enjoy more of what they have to offer.

    We were greeted at the door on arrival and seated outside as requested in our online booking. The dinner menu had a good selection from starter to dessert and the food came out in good time. There is a kids menu and we dined with our 11 & 15 year old kids. There was the right amount of lighting and volume in the dining area and we felt relaxed and comfortable. Our waitress looked after us throughout the night as needed. We had a lovely family night and we would definitely dine at Acqua again.
