    They had a choice of two-course set meals like they did during dine-out. The two prices were $35 and $39. It was a quiet atmosphere nice not to have to shout to the person sitting next to you. The food and server were great.

    I had reserved a table for 2 for my friend's birthday. The food was good, but on the same night, there was a company dinner who sat not too far across from us, and took 70% of the entire area. They were LOUD and made many announcement that i couldn't even hear myself talk.... I don't blame the company for booking the area, but the restaurant should not have accepted reservations on that same night for our people.

    Excellent service. Personable. Celebrated friend’s birthday and restaurant kind enough to write Happy Birthday on dessert plate and both Adam & Naang sang Happy Birthday to my good friend. So appreciated. Adam bartender greeter was great. He accommodated my ice coffee latte request. Delicious. Waitress Naang was warm, personable and suggested great food tips and always checked in at perfect timing. Calamari was excellent. Meatball slightly dry & spinach salad ok for the 3 course July menu. Steak was cooked to perfection as well as the dessert. Loved the ambiance and outdoor patio with comfy padded patio seating over other restaurants that are uncomfortable for Covid sensitive dining. Thank you. Will return again to try out Prime Rib Wed with family.

    For a fine dining restaurant the atmosphere was just not inviting. The space was small we felt like it was just an extension of the lobby and with the floor to ceiling window view of the communal pool. Our waiter was exceptional however the drink and food options were sparse as many items were not in due to a large group in the day prior. We had won our gift certificate which had the wrong address on it and even though we were required to call ahead to let them know we had the gift card and delivered it to our waiter, they failed to discount our bill. Thanks for the extension on the gift card but I doubt we will return.

    Was nice and quiet which is what we wanted as we were catching up with friends we haven’t seen for awhile . We were greeted warmly by a lovely gentleman and shown to our table . We weren’t really in any hurry . Food was decent we happened to get there as happy hour ended and I was able to get a cocktail from the happy hour menu Was nice we finished early but we were having a good visit and it was nice not to be rushed out the door . Food was adequate not earth shattering but very good . We all seemed to enjoy what we ordered All in all a pleasant experience and I would certainly go there again if I found myself in the area .

    The family went there for Mother's Day. For $75 each we got: 1. Argue with staff to not be seated in a dark corner at the bar. 2. Left over food from the previous seating - cold and dry. 3. Walk over to staff to get coffee and drinks. 4. Have staff drop a plant on our table that spilled - accidents happen. 5. Forced to pay 16% gratuity for staff who probably wish they were somewhere else. 6. Dessert was from the supermarket. 7. Eggs at the omelette station were from a carton box and not fresh. Oh, I paid the same for a Michelin restaurant on Valentines day.

    came into the restaurant and it was fairly quiet which was amazing. They set up my table before hand and it included a rose which was very thoughtful of them. The food exceeded my expectations based on how the restaurant looked and the service was thoughtful. Overall, me and my girlfriend had an amazing experience at Acqua and recommended for other couples!!

    Acqua may be a small hotel restaurant, but the chef there spices things up on a regular basis with special menus that include an amuse bouche and a sorbet palate cleanser. It was a great deal and the food was very well cooked!

    Food was delicious, generous portions. Caesar’s we’re good. Server was a bit over-the-top but got the job done. Tuna tempura should have some sort of sauce with it. Cheesecake was still a bit frozen in the middle. Otherwise everything was great. Creole chicken was outstanding!

    We went for a family members birthday. It was very disappointing and would not recommending for for any purposes. The service was really slow even though there was not very many people in the dining room. The steak was over cooked and was smoothed it with a very salty sauce. The beef short rib was dry and they tried to smoother it with salty sauce. The truffle fries didnt taste like truffles. The presentation of the food was ok. Best tasting thing dish was the sorbet and yam fries. No one came to ask about our experience. The experience was really unfortunate as we have been to other Executive Inn restaurants such as Provision in North Vancouver, a super restaurant with amazing food and service. This experience was disappointing we would not be going back again.

    There were three of us dining, two ordered off the Dine-Out Vancouver Menu and I chose from the regular menu. We all enjoyed our meals, as they were hot & delicious. Our server was Romanna, she was very busy serving a lot of tables always with a smile on her face, and kept everything moving and all of us looked after (great job). I had the Osso-Bucco (braised lamb) and it was fall-off-the-bone tender, and very tasty. The others had Creole Breast of Chicken and the Braised Beef Short Ribs from the Dine-Out menu, both enjoyed their meals. We noticed a sign on our way in for their Wednesday special Prime Rib, so we will return to try that as it was not available while the Dine-Out is available. Nice restaurant, with great food, & friendly service, we will return.

    The server was jolly and fun, but also respectful. I liked that it wasn’t noisy but felt cozy even if the football game on the TV by the bar area _ which me and my husband enjoyed b/c we like watching American football 🏈. The food tasted amazing! My favourite was the braised short ribs and my husband had the chicken which he said tasted juicy and had lots of flavor (good blend of spices). Also, try the lemonade with scotch!

    The restaurant is like a family restaurant or lounge that serves alcohol. Plus free complimentary parking. The servers are new (in training) but they are friendly and nice. We love all the dishes so far. Perfect seasoning, creative menu with interesting ingredients combination . The chef has came out and asked for feedback. He really cares and put his heart in every dishes he made which make it really impressive. We will visit again. Good Job!
