I kept a boat in Cider Island Marina in Clinton, which is where
this restaurant is located. I eat there all the time during the
summer. Rob Johnson is an Excellent Chef. You well not find a better
Capellini w olive oil & garlic or Filet of Beef with Gorganzola
crust anywhere in the state.

Excellent restaurant.
I kept a boat in Cider Island Marina in Clinton, which is where
this restaurant is located. I eat there all the time during the
summer. Rob Johnson is an Excellent Chef. You well not find a better
Capellini w olive oil & garlic or Filet of Beef with Gorganzola
crust anywhere in the state.
The sunset view is incredible there. I recommend sitting on the
deck with a nice bottle of wine (Over 30 Bottles to choose from
on the wine list)or at a window table, with the above mentioned
dishes.
Desserts are also Great. They are all homemade by the chef himself,
who is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. A must
have is Creme Brulee and the Flourless chocolate with a scoope
of vannilla ice cream.
Reservations are a must on the weekends the place is mobbed.
Must knows: First come first serve for outdoor deck dinning.
No reservations for window tables in the dinning room, they only
have seven of them and everyone wants them. The story is they give
them to the people who call the earlest for reservations. So call
a week ahead of time for the best chace of landing a prime table
by the window. If not you still can see the water from where ever
you sit.
Downsides: Kitchen can be slow putting food out, but it's worth
the wait, because all the food is cooked to order. Open from April
to October.
Happy Dinning at AQUA. hope I see you there!!!
