If you stop by during your visit to the Outer Banks, you'll undoubtedly agree once you sample fresh regional cuisine and a large assortment of award-winning wines while enjoying stunning views of the waterfront and boardwalk.

In addition to providing an exceptional culinary experience, AQUA is committed to supporting regional sustainable farms and local fishermen. Lunch and dinner menus offer a variety of fresh, innovative dishes prepared with locally farmed ingredients, fresh, locally caught fish and all-natural meats.

You can choose soups, sandwiches, gourmet salads, or fries made with AQUA's "secret" sauce. My friend and I shared AQUA's Bangin' Shrimp and Strawberry Arugula Salad. The shrimp are lightly battered and fried, tossed in AQUA's signature Bangin' Sauce and served over a coriander lime slaw. The salad includes sliced strawberries, golden raisins, toasted cashews and goat cheese tossed in Champagne pomegranate vinaigrette.

As the name implies, touches of light, greenish blue are splashed throughout the restaurant's décor. This creates the perfect atmosphere to relax on the outdoor deck and listen to live, seasonal music or sip a glass of wine while you take in spectacular Outer Banks sunsets over Currituck Sound.
