I really wish the food had lived up to the ambiance and service. I dined here on a Saturday night with five other ladies before a night of clubbing. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant has a good vibe to it. Our server was extremely nice, attentive and joked around with us a lot. Plus they had the Penguins hockey game on which made a few of my dining companions really happy. We even made friends with some other diners who happened to be Pens fans as well!\n\nThe food was just mediocre though. I had the romaine heart salad (blue cheese caesar) and crab cakes. I am picky about crab cakes and have very high expectations. I did appreciate the lack of filler but there just wasn't enough jumbo crab meat in them. Plus they had a weird buttery taste which I did not enjoy. The salad was a nice size and was good enough, but not great. It had a little too much dressing on it for my liking, so I would recommend getting it on the side. We also had two bottles of Chardonnay, but the name of the exact bottles we had escapes me. The wine list is extensive and has a variety of price points which was helpful especially in a group.\n\nI wouldn't return to Aquaknox to dine, but it is a good place to grab a drink or two before heading across the hall to VBar.
