"Expensive food for the business crowd that’s ok if someone else is paying...."
"Aqua is cool, professional, and one of the best restaurants in San Francisco...."
"If it’s possible to make a meal better than the one Aqua served me tonight, I’d be hard pressed to believe there are words to describe how exquisite that meal would be. As it is, I was so overwhelmed with pleasure following my meal, it seemed pointless...."
"Offering Contemporary Seafood in a sophisticated setting, Aqua has been one of San Francisco's most acclaimed and popular landmark restaurants for over 11 years. Using mostly European techniques, the four-star, award-winning restaurant serves delicate fis..."
"Later this month (September 2005), a completely re-hauled and redesigned Café de la Presse opens in San Francisco’s Union Square. Here, Laurent Manrique and Patrick Albert will have collaborated to develop a new menu of classic French bistro..."
"I was particularly impressed with Manrique's interpretations of raw fish. Putting tuna tartare on the menu is akin to performing Beethoven's 5th -- everyone knows every single note so it had better be flawless...."
"The cheese course was worth forsaking the sweets; I didn't write down our selections, but we ordered a firm cow's milk cheese, the only local cheese on the menu, then chose a bleu, whose hide was mottled with veins of ashy blue that suggested deep waters...."

"You could, if you wanted, dispense with dessert and just double-dip from the list of first courses. But if you do need a sweet fix beyond and before the petits fours, Aqua's choices won't disappoint...."
"Everything about Aqua's presentation -- setting, service, prices -- leads you to expect a peak dining experience, and we're happy to say your expectations will be satisfied, even after serial changes of celebrity chefs (the current star, Laurent Manrique,..."
"First off, let us begin by saying this was a very well-executed dish, and in some ways, it was fantastic. Just on a visual level, the presentation was creative, and the geometric layout of the ingredients emphasized the wide disparity of textures, colors,..."
"Aqua is a bastion of San Francisco power lunching where the financially powerful make big decisions while eating small portions of fantastically prepared, sparklingly fresh seafood...."
"My husband has decided to eat at all the top restaurants in the world - and on this trip to San Francisco we ate at Michael Mina's and at Aqua...."
"Aqua really pioneered the crap outta the prix fixe menu here in SF back in 2001. But alas, in 2002 he left to start his own gig with Andre Agassi, that's right...."
