Acqua Ristorante Mediterraneo
With stunning views of the Saugatuck River from two levels and a sleek, contemporary interior, guests of Acqua can experience the sophistication of Manhattan from the comfort of Main Street in the charming coastal town of Westport, Connecticut. Simple, rustic dishes lovingly prepared, decadent dessert soufflés, and a superb wine list are the hallmarks of this premiere Mediterranean bistro.

"Had always enjoyed everything about Acqua in the past. Rather disappointing experience. Service was painfully slow. Food not nearly as good as in the past. Overall, not so pleasant. Don't need to go back as there are plenty of other better choices in the area."

"This is my fifth visit to Acqua and I will not be returning. We were very disappointed with this visit to Acqua. I had reserved a table for 6 through open table to celebrate a special event several days in advance, called the restaurant ahead to make changes as our party grew and shrank, and we still waited for 20 minutes for our table while most of the restaurant sat 1/2 empty. Finally another table was set up for us and then the real waiting began. We waited for every portion of the meal. Several members of our party had to leave before the end of the meal because they had commitments 2.5 hours later! The location and decor of the restaurant are very nice. The food can be very good. The service is erratic."

"Decent food, but poor service spoiled our experience. Would give aqua another chance perhaps if we are in the immediate area. Just an ok rating for me."

"Always good. Overlooking the parking lot, the lights flicker on the nearby Saugatuck River. From arugula pizza to Parmesan crusted halibut you can always find a clean plate finish at Acqua. The chocolate soufflé is a great early order for a fun finish."

"We really like this place. Bustling but not too busy or noisey, service is very attentive without being overbearing and the food prepartion and delivery is delicious. We ahd a table that was very close to the kitchen and staff was constatly rusing by but it did not interfere too much with the evening.
All is very nice at Acqua! See you again soon!"

"The staff is very peraonable and accommodating. They didn't rush us out even though it was Valentine's, and we were able to have a romantic evening! The food was great, drinks were yummy, and the free dessert was jut the icing on the cake of a good night."

"We were disappointed as they were unable to offers us a an advertised special 3 course meal as the lower bistro level was closed for some reason after blizzard. Perhaps they could have compensated us with dessert on the house?
Food was good overall, but did not " wow". Portion size was also good. Service was attentive."

"Main dining area upstairs was almost too loud and noisey to talk to one another at our table... felt the waiter was unattentive and "just doing his job", which only amounted to taking our order and only came by when I waved him down... perhaps too many tables on his watch. The food was very good; no complaints there."
