    Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and gave excellent service. The food was outstanding and exactly as described. We were pleasantly surprised with amuse bouche before our appetizers. Cocktails were perfectly made. Presentation of everything was outstanding. Highly recommend!

    Honestly, I’ve had some terrific experiences at this restaurant in the past, but the food was simply awful this time around. The good: ambience and service can’t be beat. The cocktails were top notch. The tuna appetizer was terrific and the only good food of the evening. The bad: The seafood pasta was generally very under salted and quite flavourless..the real disappointment was the halibut which was the most overcooked piece of fish I’ve ever attempted to eat. For the price tag, it was a total miss, unfortunately.

    Everything was great! My dates pasta was almost raw, however the seafood in it was delicious. It was taken off our bill. Service, ambeince and the rest of the food was great! We will be back. The uncooked pasta was a disappointment but everything made up for the wee hiccup! We’ll be back!
    AquaTerraResponded on October 27, 2024

It’s wonderful to know that the rest of the meal and the seafood in the pasta were to your liking, and we’re grateful for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for an even smoother experience next time!

    Once again AquaTerra is our #1 Best resaurant in Kingston. It's the only fine dining option on the waterfront and out window table overlooking the marina at sunset was spectacular. The menu was varied with a nice blend of classics (Ribeye) and unique Potato Ricotta Gnocchi. I had the lamb (excellent) my partner had the duck (superb). We had the French Onion soup and the Beef Tartar appetizers both were excellent and we split the Sticky Toffee pudding for desert. The bill came to $215 w/ tax and 18% tip. Our server was Susie, she was perfect. We'll be back! T & J
