God Awful! by 2vikingsfans on 4/9/2010 via Citysearch
I tried Aquavina this past weekend. Not a good idea. I had been there in the past and did not have the best experience but thought to try it again. The place looks nice from the inside but you can't judge a book by its cover, can you?…

Poor Service by James71 on 4/2/2010 via Citysearch
My wife and I went there to have dinner before a show at the Knight Theater which is across the street. We were greeted very nice and were seated, after which the waiter came up and took our drink orders. 15 minutes later we still did not…

Fun and Modern Restaurant!! by ACTFoodie on 9/23/2009 via Citysearch
Tonight my boyfriend and I ate at Aquavina for the first time. We had a few drinks in the "Wine Room" which had an amazing wine list and a great bartender! After that, we had dinner on the outside terrace which was beautiful; again with…

Great for a date! by Carly09 on 12/15/2008 via Citysearch
We recently went on a date here, and both liked this restaurant. The menu was a little hard to understand (first timers), but the waiter explained their "3-4 way" entrees. I had the sablefish (with the sides from the sole), and it was…

trying too hard by sfcritic57 on 11/19/2008 via Citysearch
I had a meal at Aquavina while visiting Charlotte. Despite its reputation, the food was completely ordinary. The "this and that" three ways or four ways is just trying too hard for a restaurant that hasn't quite mastered the "one way"…

almost like going for tapas by licious13 on 7/31/2008 via Citysearch
Food was tasty...just be prepared to leave hungry for the price you pay. Kind of like that credit card commercial. \r Service was the worst thing though. Server did not know her wines for a high end restaurant. She also didn't really know…

Nice lunch specials by Leslie Q on 2/20/2008 via Insider Pages
I just recently tried this restaurant for lunch and was very pleased. They have a daily lunch special that consists of 2 items (soup/salad/sandwich) for $5. The food was surprisingly good and filling. There is also a regular lunch menu…

Saturday night delightful! by tadmai on 2/19/2007 via Citysearch
Dinner for six on Saturday. Everyone ordered something different, and each entre was excellent both in presentation and in quality. Jason wins the "top chef" award! Great service, too.

WE LOVE AQUAVINA by ncmaylo on 2/2/2007 via Citysearch
Everything is great about this place: food, staff, wine list, price, location. This is one of the few restaurants in Charlotte where we've gone back multiple times. It is lovely to sit outside during nice weather. The choices on the menu…

Innovative fresh seafood choices with it's own winebar for after dinner drinks and conversation. by estroup on 8/22/2006 via Citysearch
From the moment we got there we were taken care of. I was highly impressed with the wine list -we had the Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet- and the prompt and attentive service. We started on the patio with a drink from there extensive…

Wonderful Anniversary by mmherd on 2/22/2006 via Citysearch
My boyfriend and I went to Aquavina for our one year anniversary. We were a bit hesitant because of some of the negative ratings on this sight, but were pleasantly surprised. The food was great, as most had mentioned, but our service was…

Never ever again by rndpeek on 2/6/2006 via Citysearch
My husband and I have a date every Friday night and after reading last months Charlotte City Mag we decided to give Aquavina a try. Service was corpse like and food was tastless! Sole tasted like the bottom of my shoe. Portions are…

Ringin' in New Years 2006 by mellofiddler on 1/14/2006 via Citysearch
We made reservations for 4 New Years Eve. Were seated promptly. Waiter recommended the 5 course meal being offered especially for New Years; we accepted recommendation. Very disappointed! Main course was supposed to be lobster and filet…

I love it!! by aprilwillocks on 11/29/2005 via Citysearch
Its great for big groups and for romatic dinners, I love this restaurant!

W-O-W by leahshoemaker on 10/18/2005 via Citysearch
I come to Aquavina probably three times a month and every time I leave I want to personally thank the chef. I am forever intrigued by what my experience will be like the next time, and the next time... What more can I say other than…

Food 10; Service 3 by danelmaleh on 10/11/2005 via Citysearch
This place has excellent and creative food with a fantastic chef. Too bad the wait staff doesn't care if you get what you ask for or not. My wife and I used to eat here once a week -- not anymore. For the class of restaurant this is you…

User review by scooterbug by scooterbug on 9/26/2005 via Citysearch
I held my rehearsal dinner at Aquavina and was delighted with the service & food! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone planning a group dinner. We had our cocktail hour on the terrace, followed by dinner in the private dining…

Exceptional seafood by jairo11 on 9/3/2005 via Citysearch
This was the most exceptional seafood I have ever eaten. The restaurant is beautiful and the service acceptable, but the food was truly remarkable. You should try the amber seared scallops or the ahi tuna over beluga lentils. They also…

Needs a little attention by andyt on 12/12/2003 via Citysearch
They say its hard to spend a lot a cheap places, but at this restaurant its hard to spend a lot because no-one is there to take your order. After finally getting noticed, I took the servicer's advice and had the grilled mahi. While the…
