Overall rating is outstanding. The only deficiency is the music volume level. The music level was so loud that it was difficult to hear my friends talking. Hope that it can be improved next year.

We were supposed to be seated at table 42 and it took about 10 minutes to set up table 42 even though the ballroom was half empty. Waited almost 15 minutes to order drinks and a bottle of wine as we were placed in a corner with no waiter or waitress. The music was very good. The ambiance was OK. Then the buffet layout was nice however the beef quality was just OK. The Wellington was good. The hot entrées of the cold pasta hot ravioli were overcooked. The chicken and turkey were very good and the salmon was excellent. Overall, for the wobbly table, lack of service, ambiance, it was fair just OK. I expected more. Finally the receipt showed no price for food, wine, gst or pst … not quality.

We were looking for a quiet place in the neighbourhood for a family dinner. Decided to try Acqua as it was close by. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we had a nice time engaging in conversation as we could all hear each other.

We had their $55 Winter Feature Menu. The appetizer was okay. The soup was only lukewarm. The salad was okay. The salmon for the entree was delicious 😋. My girlfriend had the beef short ribs. It was good but she probably wanted my entree instead. The apple pie for dessert would have been better with vanilla ice cream compared to caramel ice cream. Too sweet for my tastes. There is complimentary parking. Just need to enter your last name and license plate at the front desk.

Had the Wednesday Special Deal of a 10oz Prime Rib for $32! It was plenty of food and quite tasty. A bit too much fat on the steak but I guess that’s luck of a draw. Service was excellent. Noise Level was marked as high as there was a live performance. Also 50% off house wine was a perfect match to the steak! Will come back for more!
