    Key Lime Martini

    The waitress was nice and attentive and also made me two delicious key lime martinis!!!! The bread with the cinnamon butter was delicious and sweet. The pecan encrusted chicken was okay but not great and didn't look like the pictures others posted. The view is great and the restaurant was clean!

    Servers are very nice and helpful but the food is horrible. They have a fancy sounding sauce I forget the name of for the calamari and it is cocktail sauce and ketchup mixed. The calamari was lukewarm and not very good. I ordered the filet it comes with sweet potatoes, asparagus, and mushroom and I added a salad as well. The salad came out and it was not fresh some of the lettuce was black there's no telling how many days ago it was made because no chef would send that to a customer. When the entree came out all the items mentioned earlier were mixed together. Maybe I'm crazy but none of that stuff should be mixed. Then to top it off the medium rare steak was was less than even rare. I like my steaks barely cooked but this was not even safe to eat, cold red center. This was one of the worst meals I have had in a long time.

    Decided to give this place a try based on reviews as I was a little skeptical of a hotel restaurant and the hotel rating of 92 coming in. The 92 rating didn't come from any food related things I should point out. I'm giving this place a complete honest opinion with some constructive criticism. First, it was only me dining, so I should be the easiest and quickest table but this was not the case. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and bacon wrapped scallops along with 2 yummy watermelon Martinis. The shrimp cocktail should take maybe 5 mins to prepare but I got it 15-20 mins later. Although the shrimp were pretty huge but nothing special about the presentation or ingredients. The bacon wrapped scallops took over an hour to come to my table, which is unacceptable for such an easy dish. 2 other tables of 4 and 5 whom I might add were sat after me were served with steaks quicker. The waitress was very nice and sweet and I'm sure if she was cooking, she may have sped it up. I believe perhaps she placed the order late or the kitchen messed up the cooking order. The scallops dish was nicely presented but the risotto needed more seasoning or at least some salt. The bacon wrapped around the scallops were mostly fat and not even crisp, the scallops were a little overdone but pretty good themselves. This place has great potential if they seasoned a little more and added some creative touches with simple dishes like shrimp cocktail. The watermelon martini was very refreshing but I think needed a little more alcohol in it, tasted more like a Pg rated icy but tasty. If in the area I would def come back to try again and the view was beautiful but wished they had a walk out dining deck

    Very happy to find this place here in Guntersville, AL. After driving from Atlanta to Guntersville i was really under the impression that my only dining options were going to be taco bell, pizza hut, DQ, burger king, and every other craphole fast food place you could name. They are all here! Even a few i have never even heard of. But then i found Aqua which is right on the lake in Guntersville. Food wasn't amazing but it was good enough. The restaurant itself is very nice and I had a great view of the lake from my table. The waitress was super friendly, attentive, and just an overall pleasure. If your in Guntersville be sure to check it out instead of putting that fast food poison into your body. Guntersville needs a freakin starbucks though!!!

    Heavenly!!!

    FABULOUS !!! We went with another couple and were greeted by MS QUEEN B. (Beatrice the manager) She actually waited on us and served us. Dinner was already a success with her spunky personality and helpful suggestions. My girlfriend and I had the scallops, her husband had the snapper and my husband had the pork chops. We literally licked our plates clean! We topped it off with a wicked pumpkin creme brûlée and turtle cheesecake. Needless to say we throughly enjoyed ourselves!!! Will definitely go again but don't know if we can wait for the weekend. We just might have to make the 45 minute drive during the week. Thanks Queen B!

    We had New York Strip steaks carry out. They were cooked to perfection, really great taste and…read moreorder filled correctly. The food was packaged to stay hot. Great food, great service.

    This place is fine, but I wouldn't necessarily stop in again unless I had to…read more Pros: Everyone was friendly, from hostess to our server The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms There's plenty of parking There's something on the menu for everyone, I guess Ample gratis rolls with spiced butter Prices are quite reasonable Cons: The server forgot I had ordered a salad until I reminded her when she checked on us halfway through eating our entrees (and the salad had some really gross chopped tomatoes included, not that I wanted it at that point) My burger had absolutely zero seasoning, and it was DRY--even the ketchup at the table couldn't save it. I would have appreciated an offer of mayo, mustard, anything...but the whole salad debacle interfered The mashed potatoes were FOUL and ice cream scooped (never a good sign) When you have that many items on the menu, you know that things are being microwaved and little attention is being paid to details With that said, for what it is--basically Applebee's and Outback had a baby and decided to have Chili's (for the fajitas) as a godmother--it's alright. There are many other local (non-chain) joints in the general vicinity I'd patronize first.
