Aqua in Dublin

To be honest, I expected more from the kitchen, but neither the soup for 13 €, nor the most expensive dish of three types of fish for 38 € impressed me, ordinary potatoes with fish in sauce and a lot of pepper. Oysters were not on the menu, which was a pity! 😞 I didn't like the food even though the service was good! It's time to change chefs!

This is THE seafood place to go. Excellent in every respect. Not my first visit and certainly not my last!

The place to eat in Howth! If you want the perfect combination of an excellent wine selection, a magnificent view, and very good fish & chips, look no further than AQUA.

Everything was TOP TOP TOP! Beautiful location with a fantastic view, a peaceful atmosphere, friendly service, and above all: DELICIOUS food!

Beautiful views of the sea at howth pier and looking out at Ireland eye. We had a lovely lunch for mum's birthday

You pay for the location and views. The food is average and the decor feels tired in some respects such as the wooden table on the entry to the main restaurant upstairs ( appeared to be damaged and looks to have seen better days). It's little things like that that create the perception. I've been to Aqua several times, once on my own volition and then twice as part of other people's events and feel that my review is based on several experiences. As said, it's pricey, you're paying for the location and views and the cost of running restaurants is not cheap which puts context to price but feel the value for me is not there

Great food, great service, lovely surroundings and fabulous views. A little pricey but if everything is as good as it is you can overlook that.

This is a fabulous restaurant which benefits from a panoramic view of the harbour and the bay and enjoys beautiful sunsets. The service is great and the staff are welcoming and friendly. As for the food - the Chowder was all I hoped for and the fish pie superb. You can tell a good restaurant, when the diners are not eating, they are smiling. Would definitely recommend.

Ett perfekt ställe för allt som har kopplingar till havets meny. Otroligt meny att välja mellan. Stället är fantastiskt tills solen går ner, vi kom lite sen och såg inget genom dom mörka fönstren, en sommardag är nog perfekt. Allt smakade mycket bra, lite låg salthalt på det mesta, men å andra sidan den lättast kryddan att komplettera med. Ett häftigt ställe att rekommendera ett besök till.

Our booking was for 7.30pm however we phoned to ask to put it back to 8.15pm as we were delayed, which wasn’t an issue. When we arrived we were the only guests in the restaurant, to be honest if I was them I would have closed. We weren’t in any way rushed and enjoyed some very good food: baked goats cheese and a trio of seafood to start, beautifully presented and very tasty. We both had Dover sole to follow, one small and one medium portion, we asked for it on the bone and it was absolutely delicious, served with roasted potatoes which was perfect to mop up the really tasty sauce. The service was great and the food delicious. We took one star off as it was absolutely freezing in the restaurant, I couldn’t wait to put my coat back on. We would recommend and will definitely return (in the summer!).
