Love this place, its had a bad rin for awhile but i can not fault it now. The range of hot foods to choose from is very good and the fresh seafood is always tops. Very nice place to dine and have all you can eat. The desserts are sooo good aswell.

No way!!!!

I'm guessing people from Townsville have very little to compare it to when it comes to buffet dinners. So if you're a local, then yeah go here you will like it.
BUT if you are from Melbourne like myself or even any other capital then don't bother.
Food is very ordinary.
On a positive side though, the service is very good.

The desserts are to die for, the seafood was fresh and delicious. The main meals were fresh but I personally didn't find they blew me away, which for close to $50 per person I felt it should of. Saying that its all you can eat and I definitely did eat all I could. Also soft drink and tea/coffee is unlimited.

i love aqua! its a little on the expensive side for all you can eat - however its good quality food kept very fresh. everytime we have been we had great service and never felt rushed

Great for a fun family dinner, not the place for a romantic dinner! There is a good selection of fresh seafood and other non seafood dishes.

I enjoyed the buffet with friends. The quality as well as the quantity was great, we easily managed the lining up and had a ball.

We went to Aqua for their Sunday morning breakfast buffet. At $30 a head you have to eat a fair amount to get your money worth i think. Also as the buffet is only for 1.5 hours (there are 3 different timeslots you can go to) there are hundreds of people all trying to get food at the same time which for us resulted in waits of about 30 minutes before you got anything on your plate at all. There is clearly a lining up system at work, however if one person accidentally queues in the wrong spot it can lead to havoc which happened on the morning in question where people in the queue had passed half the buffet before plates finally appeared. No staff member ever attempted to correct the error and the mistake just perpetuated all morning. Although the food is good, the disorganisation and chaos meant the meal was not as enjoyable at it could have been.

Approximate cost: $30

I LOVE going to Aqua for dinner. Even their Sunday lunch roast's are great (earlier in the year I went with my friends for Australia day - best Australian Day lunch I've had). The staff are always friendly and helpful and it's great that it's a buffet. And once a month they have their 'Seafood spectacular' where there's a large range of seafood available. They cater for meat lovers, seafood lovers, vegetarians and even have a selection for the kids (chips, chicken nuggets, etc) as well as a large range of desserts. It's good value for money - particularly if you can eat a fair bit and the atmosphere is very nice. They also have a wine 'buffet' where you spend $10 I think (from memory) and there's a selection of wines to choose from. Soft drinks are included in the dinner package as well, and alcohol is available for purchase either from Essence Bar or the staff that float around waiting to serve. Great experience.
