Four of us had dinner on Saturday evening. I'd like to give a shout-out to our waitress in the main dining room. I don't know her name, but this poor woman was the only wait staff for the whole room! Nonetheless, she did a fine job and I hope the owners understand what a great employee they have. Our dinners were very tasty and everyone enjoyed the food, and the zucchini and eggplant chips appetizer is a real winner. My one objection was regarding my fish & chips. While the fish itself was good, the fried coating was soft and spongy instead of crispy. This was a bit disconcerting, but it got finished anyway. All in all a very good meal! read more

We recently held our third event at Aqua Terra within the past three years. I can't say enough about the amazing service, selections and professionalism of Nick and his staff. They went above and beyond to accomodate us and our guests. Highly recommend hosting an event or dining here. read more

I'm very happy to be able to write this review as my recent visit was generally positive. I took my family here for Sunday brunch. At $35, it might not be a value for kids, but is definitely for the adults. Bottomless mimosas are included, as well as coffee, tea, juice, sodas. The mimosas kept getting refilled, but I do wish they had a better bubbly to orange juice ratio. There was too much juice for my tastes. The buffet was great. Good variety of breakfast foods, lunch items with pasta, chicken, beef. We were all particularly impressed with the cold station, which had peeled shrimp cocktails and a very tasty smoked salmon. All food items were fresh and of good quality. The parking lot has plenty of spots. We arrived right at 11 for our reservation and while seated promptly, they weren't quite setup yet. We waited at our table for about 10-12 minutes before they gave us the green light to eat. Making a brunch reservation online was impossible. The online app told me nothing was available. I called and the hostess told me they had availability. When we arrived, there were only 3 or 4 tables of customers, so something with the online reservation system is garbage. We almost didn't go, but I'm thankful I called. I'd certainly be back for brunch and maybe someday we will try dinner. read more

Mother's Day Outdoor Dining My son and I had a lovely lunch. Seafood and vegs were perfectly prepared.... Beet and Feta Salad and Mussels saganaki were delicious shared starters. Unfortunately sardines were unavailable but cod and sword fish kebabs were tasty and so yummy! Definitely a great place to have Mediterranean food!! read more

this place and its menu have been through quite a few changes since the pandemic. at one point, they really reduced the menu to a few greek inspired dishes and it was never exciting enough of a menu to get me through the door. I noticed recently that they expanded their menu more back to what it used to be so I decided to give it another try. not bad - super good drinks and I am obsessed with the tuna tacos here. main courses were just ok. a bit bland and could have used more flavor. ambiance here is great though and the service is good. really enjoyed the lava cake dessert. had a nice time overall but not the greatest meal ever. read more

AquaTerra Grille - Seafood Near Me - Pearl River, New York

A bunch of former co-workers and I got together at AquaTerra Grille this past Saturday. From the planning stages right through to the fond farewells, Nicholas and his team made our luncheon a great success! Nicholas worked with me to create a varied and affordable menu that didn't break the bank. When we arrived we had a room to ourselves that was meticulously set up for all. Our servers welcomed us and made everyone feel very comfortable. We all enjoyed our delicious meals and were allowed to linger and chat without feeling rushed. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner for two or getting together with the old gang - give AquaTerra Grille a try... you won't be disappointed! read more

My cousin and I visited AquaTerra Grille for an early lunch on a Saturday. We got there when they just opened so aside from a private party going on in a separate room we were the only guests in the dining area. The restaurant was spacious, well lit and clean. The server greeted us, answered my questions about the menu and took our order. I decided to order Filet mignon spring rolls with a side of chili sauce, honey and feta brussels sprouts and the Parmesan truffle fries. I ordered a Shirley temple for my beverage. The food did not wow me. The rolls lacked flavor and appeared to be dried out. The fries were not as delectable as the name suggested and the brussel sprouts were too busy for my liking. I would return because the seating was cozy and the server was nice but I would for sure order something else on the menu. read more

We held a private event there today and were blown away by the thoughtfulness and care by the staff, including Brenna, Jessica, Stacy, and Sara. They made sure everyone ate, even if a guest arrived late. The quality of the food was fantastic and the natural light in the dining room was beautiful and kept our spirits up through lunch. read more

Went there for the lunch special. Not a huge but a sufficient variety along with the regular menu. We had the ribs and they were the best I've had in a long time. Waiter, Eric was super friendly. Portions were good and very tasty. I can't wait to try the Sunday brunch. read more

Nice intimate setting with great food on the menu. We held my brothers small wedding party a few weeks back and couldn't be happier. Very tasty items. Had the oysters and burger. Top notch all around. read more

The food was excellent. The service was horrible. Even the people around us who had excellent service with a different waiter commented on how long we had to wait. We left without coffee or dessert because we were tired of having to wait so long. When we questioned the waitress she said it was because the restaurant had a large party to serve. The strange thing was that the other waiter was able to serve his tables in a timely manner. read more

Everything we ordered from the extensive menu was absolutely delicious! The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is great for an intimate dinner or fun night out with friends. I would definitely recommend Aqua Terra Grille. read more

I was with twenty of so family members & friends for brunch in April and found the staff to be helpful, friendly and efficient. The brunch menu was varied and plentiful and my choices were delicious. My mimosa was the only disappointment, it seemed very watered down. Otherwise the variety of dishes and the setup was great. read more

the food was amazingly delicious! the service was nice and the waiter was so funny and really tried to connect with us! the ambiance was nice and really and calm but we didn't come on a busy day and there were only like 4 tables including us, so i'm not fully sure on how the restaurant is on a busy day.the restaurant really fit the mediterranean and greek cuisine and theme! they also had many options on the menu including greek and mediterranean dishes and also other stuff for people who are picky and might not like everything! anyways i think it was an amazing restaurant and definitely recommend going! and i'll definitely be coming back! read more

AquaTerra Grille - front of restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Pearl River, New York

I went into this expecting a seafood restaurant, but this is more of just a regular restaurant with more fish choices than normal. Our server and all of the staff were very nice. They had good cocktails and I had a mango tango, while my husband enjoyed nicks old fashioned. For an appetizer we had the lobster tacos. I thought having cheddar cheese on it was going to be a little weird, but it was actually really good and the slaw on the side was a good accent. For entrees we did the seared sesame tuna and the horse radish crusted salmon. Both were big portions with good flavor. read more

So good! Amazing everytime!! Would highly recommend. My girlfriends and I always have such a pleasant time and the food is always delicious!

I can't express how fantastic my wedding dinner was, our waiters and bartenders were not only entertaining but absolutely fantastic. The food was incredible as well as the service they provided! They were beyond accommodating to all my requests, the downstairs room was convenient with a bathroom, a full functioning bar, a Bluetooth so we could play our own music, and an access door to go outside so we didn't have to walk through the restaurant. Reach out to Nick and host your next event here you won't be disappointed! read more

Highly recommend! What a beautiful setting to celebrate mom's 80th birthday party! Special thanks to Jessica, Lily, Nick and Ellie for their outstanding service. The food was incredible, and though we didn't prepare them for the vegan/vegetarians in the group, they didn't blink and immediately offered them a delicious alternative. Absolutely fabulous experience! read more

My husband and I came here for our anniversary. We've heard good things and were very interested. And we were not let down! Location was easy accessable and loads of parking. The restaurant is beautiful inside, nice and clean and well lite. Being Lent, we got all seafood. And both of our plates were delish. My husband's food accommodations were handled no problem. And our cocktails were perfect, not too strong and not too sweet. Our server Alan was very nice and constantly was checking how our dinner was going. He made recommendations that did not let us down. Especially our dessert! The Cracker Jack sundae!! The only thing we would like for them to change would be maybe a list of recommended pairings of wines with some of their more popular dishes. read more

Decent. I went here for lunch today by myself. My server was very nice and I have to say that the decor in the restaurant is quite beautiful. They served bread and dipping oil but I told her I didn't want, so I can't comment on that. I decided to order the tuna tartare appetizer, which was actually pretty awesome. It was served atop wakame salad (seaweed) and served with fried wontons. A nice, light appetizer ($9.90). The menu said that it came with Napa cabbage slaw, but I didn't see any on my plate... see picture. For my main dish, I decided to order the arugula salad (arugula, poached pear, toasted walnuts, pecorino, and a sherry vinaigrette - $8.90). I asked for baby spinach instead of arugula. My salad came out with almonds instead of walnuts, so I had it sent back. I also asked if I could have grilled chicken on top ($4 additional). The salad was decent, but nothing amazing. I'm not sure what the pear was poached in, but it was bright red - I've never seen a poached pear that color. The salad was quite large, I took half home for dinner. Service was good, food was decent. I spent $24 plus tip just for me. I only had water, so that price reflects food only. read more

Great first experience at AquaTerra! We booked a private room and they had a gorgeous round table room to accommodate our 9 guests. Big windows in the round room to see the sunset and our server was amazing. He took group photos for us and helped us order many dishes prepared family style. My Asian family members and in laws who seldom eat American cuisine loved their experience and enjoyed the food! We got to bring in our own cake too. Lovely dinner this night. read more

Loved the atmosphere, excellent bar area. Food was top notch as well as the service. Looking forward to enjoying the terrace when the weather warms up. read more

A great time at this really nice restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the venue was beautiful. This place is nicely decorated and spacious, allowing you the elbow room to really enjoy a good time and a great meal. The service was outstanding with the waiter Shannon keeping our glasses full and serving up some really great food. He was also accommodating customizing our dishes to our liking. I had a beautiful piece of swordfish with risotto which wasn't included with the dish but the waiter was happy to include it. My friends enjoyed the surf and turf special which included a lobster tail with a filet mignon. Wow! that was a beautiful dish and both were truly happy with their choice. After all that great food we decided to share a piece of their cheesecake. It was outstanding! It was light and fluffy, creamy soft, and really great. Thanks to the staff at this place for a great evening. read more

I have been reading a lot of great reviews about this place so we decided to give it a chance...we'll the reviews were correct, it is a great place to sit, eat and relax. The atmosphere is great, the 80's music was low but loud enough to hear which was great. The food was amazing, steak cooked to perfection, lobster perfectly cooked as well. The lobster Mac and Cheese was so so yummy. The drinks were also great. Overall it was a perfect night. The waitstaff are GREAT!!! Will definitely go back. read more

The food was amazing and the service was great would recommend to anyone !!! The place is nice and inviting also.

What a nice place to come with your family to celebrate any occasion. We came in on a Sunday afternoon for their brunch buffet. They have a pretty nice selection of food to choose from some of my favorites included the pasta with vodka sauce, French toast, and ice cream sundae bar, which included a donut wall of donuts hanging to make yourself a donut ice cream sundae and I couldn't resist making myself one. I thought I donut icecream sundae bar was a nice nod to the younger foodie culture and I loved it! They also had a large selection of mini desserts and all sorts of breakfast items such as pancakes and eggs as well as eggplant rollatini and seafood paella so there really was something for everyone to enjoy. I thought that the staff was great we had a very friendly attentive waiter and a very pleasant afternoon all together. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening around 8pm. The service was exceptional, seated quickly, and staff very attentive. I ordered the Lobster Tail, slightly over cooked but over all good portion size and enjoyed the sides (roasted red potatoes and grilled asparagus) My husband ordered the Greek salad with chicken- MASSIVE portion and very tasty, delicious hummus and taziki sauce, all home made. Friend ordered the Seafood delight and was happy with the order. We stayed for dessert and shared the tiramisu and each ordered coffee. Wasn't expecting the coffee to be as good as it was, but it was delicious. The serving size was perfect, and appreciated that we each were provided our own pot. The tiramisu was DELICIOUS- home made and tasted wonderful. Was not expecting much to be honest, but I would return. The service was amazing and the food delicious. read more

I asked if the chef could make me a vegetarian meal of grilled vegetables. The waiter checked With the chef and I was told no. I guess if you dine there you are not a guest. I ended up ordering a house salad. When my friends dinner came there was a side of grilled vegetables. I will not be returning. read more
