The family and I dined at Aquaknox our second night in Vegas. For those who have never been there, it is located in the Venetian. First impression: very soothing colors in shades of blue, green and cream. They have a really cool little private dining room with seating for about 4 or 5 inside a round glass wine display. Imagine dining with bottles and bottles of wine surrounding you. ;) They have a few pretty water displays too. \n\nThe restaurant was not very busy, but to be honest, Vegas itself seemed pretty empty this trip. The economy perhaps? Anyway, our waiter and busboy were both very pleasant and helpful. We had three coupons for complimentary Aquatinis...don't mind if we do! It was a very pretty drink, but a little too sweet for my taste. \n\nI split the beet salad with my sister. It was served with a rather sweet dressing. Thank goodness for the blue cheese crumbles which did a great job balancing out the sweetness. I found several entrees on the menu that sounded really good, but I chose the grouper. It was rice crusted and served over green tea-infused soba noodles. As separates, everything was very tasty, but together it was a rather odd combo of flavors. If I went back I would probably order the scallops like my dad or the John Dory like my mom and sister. \n\nWe all split a Lemon Crush dessert which was excellent. It consisted of the most amazing lemon cake, a little round cookie on top of the cake and a scoop of ice cream. The presentation of all of our dishes was very pleasing.
