Aqua Grill

Love this place! On season is so fun and off season is warm, relaxing, and pet friendly. Staff are the best and go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. Great cocktails and tasty food. TVs and warm patio.

Last night, (6.6.2025), I decided to hang out a little at Aqua Bar & Grill to have a drink and eat. I ordered a burger and fries and an Orange Crush mixed drink. I requested cooked onion and cheddar on the burger. When it came, I lifted the roll and saw it was wrong, but not quickly enough to complain to the waiter who had already gone on. Unfortunately, literally I saw only one strand of cooked onion. Instead, however, there were 3 pickle chips --and mayonnaise--neither of which I wanted or eat (gag). I never took a bite, and tried to bide my time with the generous fries and my drink while scanning for the waiter. Much too much later, the waiter checks in on me. I told him then about the missing onion and the added mayo and pickles. He was very apologetic, but he never offered a replacement burger . I must say I just asked for the check, paid and peacefully left. Perhaps if I would have made a scene, the waiter might have offered a replacement for the untouched burger. I did not. Instead, I thought that maybe I could have been more specific about what should not have been on top of the burger. But then I was never told what that would be.

Ultimately, I spent $31 on a Orange Crush mixed drink and a dozen fried potatoes, the rest of which I never finished. I, the only Black guy there at that time, did not want to attract negative attention by insisting on a better outcome. The resolution would be obvious: bring me a new burger.

Last, let me say I am new to this area, two years now, from North Jersey/NYC vicinity. That was not my first time at Aqua, either. I wish to balance my remarks by saying that the staff at Aqua have always been friendly, especially the lady at the bar. I have never felt unwelcomed there. Quite the opposite. So I hope to go back. At this point, I just won't order anything else to eat.

Aqua Bar & Grill on Baltimore ave in downtown Rehoboth , yes everyone knows it’s a great place for cocktails, fun and dancing. But did you know they also serve up some fantastic food.
