Atlantic Ocean views, cascading indoor waterfalls, tropical fish tanks and ponds of exotic fish create the unique ambiance that is Aqua Grille and Lounge.  Founded in Spring 2006 by Hilton Head Island restaurateur Jeff Katon (click here for Jeff Katon Scholarship Foundation), Aqua is a family owned and operated restaurant specializing in fresh seafood, an extensive wine cellar and personal, attentive service.  

Our menu is predominately seafood, with a large variety of non-seafood dishes to satisfy our steak, poultry, and pasta lovers.   We offer a raw bar with 15 seats for lighter seafood enthusiasts. 

Aqua's bar & lounge area is designed for happy hour as well as for the guests that are only interested in a bottle of wine, a cocktail, or something light to eat.  Very few restaurants (other than bars) offer a place where you can enjoy a cocktail in a comfortable atmosphere without feeling pressured to order food or spend a lot of money.

Have you experienced Aqua?  Let our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Eric Seaglund, dazzle your  taste buds with our special appetizer of Tuna Sashimi or treat yourself to our hand-cut Filet Mignon, fresh caught Sea Bass, Alaskan King Crab or Maine Hard Shell Lobster. 

Join us for intimate dining in our Wine Cellar with private party options and more than 450 labels featuring top rated wine from around the world.  Winner of  the "2007 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence".  Click here for upcoming wine dinners.
