    Food is fabulous as always! Our waiter, Kevin, left a bad taste in our mouth though. He berated a more junior busser about not picking up bread and extra plates from our table right in front of us. It was unprofessional and disrespectful to this staff member. After that I had zero interest in interacting with Kevin and he made us uncomfortable.

    Went here for a birthday dinner. The ambience is great. Apparently a former bank, it has lots of brick, mirrored wall behind the bar, an intimate booth although it faced the bar and the kitchen. Started with cocktails of Prosecco for my wife and a Campari and soda for me. We had the special burrata appetizer, which was served over spaghetti squash and topped with pomegranate seeds and a touch of honey I believe. Nice presentation and a great starter to go with a basket of fresh rustic Italian bread. My wife had the halibut special served over vegetables with a sauce on the side. The halibut was cooked perfectly, crisp on top and moist inside. I had the ribeye served over arugula and cherry tomatoes and topped with green peppercorns. The steak was also cooked perfectly medium rare and paired well with the salad. They have a decent wine list and we opted for a great Nebbiolo at a reasonable price. Our server was Luis who was extremely helpful, without hovering, and very friendly. A bit on the pricey side, but a fabulous place for a special dinner.

    Our first time dining at Aqua al2, expected better food and service than we received. Cocktails were good, We wanted to split a salad but the kitchen wouldn't do that, we had to split the single plate ourselves. I ordered the NY strip steak, it was OK, but not up to the quality and tenderness that you should expect for the price. My wife asked our server which fish she would recommend, she said the Branzini, but the fish actually served was some other fish special which again was OK but not great and not what we ordered. When we got the check and saw the error, she apologized and removed it from the bill, but overall, less than the quality dining experience we expected from a rrputed fine dining restaurant.

    Beautiful and cozy Italian restaurant; but unfortunately our server was not attentive to my party. Food was lukewarm when served after waiting more than an hour & 30mins to receive our entrees. Overpriced and overrated.
