    Butter chicken $22
    Violet P.

    I wasn't familiar with this restaurant until I saw a Groupon and purchased it for $40 worth of food. The restaurant is in the Courtyard Marriott West and when you enter the front doors, it's just to your right. The restaurant isn't enclosed and has tables for 2 or 4, 3 round booths, and 2 areas with seating of high chairs. The bar area has alcoholic drinks but they also serve Starbucks, and cold drinks. There are TVs and a few bar stools too. We choose a table for 2 and our server brought us menus. They have a Happy Hour from 5-6 where selected drinks and chicken wings, nachos, dry ribs, hummus and rice rolls are $5. Since we were using our Groupon, we were told we couldn't order for this menu. The menu has appetizers, soup few salads, sandwich and burgers, 2 pastas, and entrees with steak, lamb, and other meats. I decided on the butter chicken served with rice and garlic naan. While we waited for our food, more customers came into the restaurant. There were 2 servers that I saw and they were kept busy keeping up with the service at the tables. One party was big but this isn't a great place to come for large groups as they would have to move tables together if they aren't occupied. The butter chicken was good and I found the sauce was good to mop up with the naan. It wasn't too creamy which I liked. The server checked on us and also refilled our drinks. The washrooms are in the area where the conference rooms are. They are clean, and bright and there are bottles of hand lotion available. With the Groupon, it was a decent price. Without, I would say the prices are a few dollars too much for an open casual hotel restaurant. Service was good and our server apologized for the slowness even though I found it acceptable. Would be a place I would come back to for a meal or appetizers.

    Wow, did not expect such great food at a hotel! The Bison Ribeye was fantastic. I also had the vegetable samosas, they were delish also. My wife loved the Chicken Supreme, all that and a couple of draft Sam Adams 76, made the meal complete. A must try place if you are visiting the area. Prices were average.

    My wife and I decided to hit this place up for dinner after purchasing a deal from Groupon. We arrived at around 5:30 PM on Saturday -- the atmosphere was quiet and there were only a few people there. We were greeted promptly from across the room by the bartender who told us our server would be out shortly. After the friendly server took our drink orders, the food and beverage manager appeared in a puff of smoke to take our meal orders. I think he was bored. Like I said, it was pretty slow when we went in. From the time we walked in to the time we ordered our food only ten minutes passed -- if that. We even had to turn the server away once because we hadn't decided what to eat yet. I ordered the rib eye steak with mashed potatoes and a bottle of Canadian. The steak was cooked as I ordered it -- well done. This can be the test of a restaurant's suck factor -- how well they listen to the customer. Well I'm happy to say that the Aqua Restaurant passed the suck test. (Or failed it, however you want to look at it.) I'm trying to say the steak was good. They poured my beer into a glass which was above and beyond. I don't mind drinking it from a bottle. My only gripe is about the prices. The food is expensive and we probably wouldn't have come here if we didn't have the Groupon. The service is relaxed and friendly and the food is good but it isn't worth what the restaurant charges. The layout of the establishment is wide open. It's within full view of the hotel check-in desk and the lobby. There was an Asian girl in a black bikini waiting for a cab with her friends in said lobby the night we ate there. (Did I mention it's January?) My wife guessed that they were on their way to a party at the waterpark at WEM. So if you like to eat in subdued, quiet restaurants or if you have a fetish for scantily clad Asian girls - you gotta eat here. If you`re interested for the second reason then make sure your back is to the bar. Oh yeah, there`s a bar too.

    I am not a vegetarian, but I do like Vegetables. Padmandadi does this well…read more The place itself is relaxing, and I love the family photos around the restaurant and the enormous Buddah statue. It is a lovely atmosphere to catch up with friends. Our server was polite and well mannered. They have a great lunch deal as well. I went with the Spicy Eggplant with coconut rice - Chinese eggplant quartered and stir-fried in a sweet and savory chili sauce. My friend chose this as well. We also started with the Roti Canai -Grilled Indonesian flatbread served with a curry dipping sauce. This is my favourite dish on the menu. I usually order this. Both dishes were excellent and fresh. I love the flakey roti and the dipping sauce has the right amount of curry in it. The eggplant was tasty as well and perfectly cooked. It came with rice (we chose coconut rice for an extra dollar) and a spring roll. The spring roll was crunchy and filled with veggies. All together a great meal.

    My boyfriend and I came here to meet up with friends. I've only heard good things about this place…read morethrough my boyfriend but after spending one dinner here, I can see why. We got a bunch of entrees, I honestly can't remember every single thing we got but it all tasted delicious. We ordered the Lemon Chicken Prawns, Crispy Chicken Strips, the Curry Chicken, Dendeng, and a noodle dish that I forgot the name of. I really liked how everything was served family style. Everything I tasted was a hit. I loved the crisp and texture of the Chicken Strips, as well as the Lemon Chicken Prawns. The Curry Chicken was flavorful, creamy, and had a little kick from the spice but it was great. The Dendeng was great too, loved the sauce that covered it. I'm also really impressed by the different veggie meats they used in all of the dishes, they all tasted good. Service was fast and all the servers were so thoughtful and accommodating. We also met the owner and he was so kind. We had a good time at the end getting to know each other. From our time here, we were met with very down to earth people here. I'll have to come back and try their buffet next time. Thank you for taking care of us! We loved it, consider us lifetime fans!

The toppings were fresh but maybe because we ordered delivery it just didn't have the as much pizazz as I expected. It was still a tasty pizza. For the kids we ordered the cheese pizza. The combination of orange and white cheese was nice, and it was very saucy. The slices were too big for my littles who had to fold the pizza to eat it. And once it got to us that chewy textured dough has just too difficult for them to chew. The beingets were delightful, same chewy texture. Liked the icing and Carmel to dip. I think this pizza place would have been more enjoyable eating at the location and getting the pizza hot and fresh.

What I don't like is that you have to go up and order. Which I forgot about and so I was wondering why no one was coming outside. These types of restauarants baffle me. If you are are already coming around to fill up water, check on food etc. how much more effort would it be to hand out the menus and take the order? I went with a friend who had the Kale salad while I went with Korean Hawaiian. It was fantastic. Crust was nice and chewy and housemade kimchi gave it a kick. They have a very interesting menu here, with lots of things to try. A little pricy but for high quality vegan food this is the way to do it.
