Acqua Restaurant-White Bear Lake

We had a fantastic time at Acqua! This was our first visit and everything was wonderful. The service (Katie) was impeccable and the food was divine. I love that virtually everything on the menu either is or can be made gluten free. Daron, one of the owners, spent time talking to us and made us feel so welcome. Acqua will become a regular date night spot for us!

In the area for a work trip and we liked it so much the first time we went back twice. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. Stellar dining room service the first night and sat at the bar the next 2 visit’s and the service there was impeccable as well. If you haven’t been and your reading this review. Here’s your sign!!

Update: After giving Acqua another chance, I am updating a prior review. We decided to try Acqua a second time, and this time it did not disappoint! Our second visit was outstanding all the way around. We once again had a beautiful night on the marina, and our service was again excellent. Waiters and waitresses checked on us frequently and consistently refilled water when needed. Our food this time was just incredible, one of the best meals we’ve had in quite some time. My steak was grilled just to my liking, the seafood was perfection, and the sides and dessert were all quite tasty as well. The scallops really stole the show. We ate every last bit of our food. We’re not sure what happened during our first visit, may have just been an off night, but we now see why people speak so highly o

Acqua is truly an amazing restaurant. From the food, service and ambiance you can’t get any better. We LOVED the crab fritters, muscles, Italian rigatore pasta, ny strip, lemon cheesecake, and butterscotch budino. Staff was so friendly. Will definitely be back!!

Acqua in White Bear Lake has a calm, elegant atmosphere that feels perfect for a dressier night out. The food was quite good overall, and we were pleasantly surprised by the Groupon menu—it’s separate from their regular offerings but still had great options. We left feeling satisfied and would definitely recommend it. Looking forward to coming back! Those desserts did not disappoint!
