AquaTokyo餐牌上的推薦菜色：炭燒拼盤。有雞肉，牛肉，帶子，鱈魚，羊扒，豬肉？？i'm not sure/ 品種豐富，可以滿足貪心的食慾，但個人覺得想食日料還是要去傳統日式風格居酒屋會比較正宗咯。不過帶子和羊扒是當中比較出色的，下次或許可以單點。整體燒烤少了東方人講的鑊氣，也沒有keep住原材料新鮮的質感，醬汁的搭配不是很適合，吃不出日式串燒的韻味，反而像happy hour時的下酒小食。
Having turned up without any prior restaurant booking, I was relieved that the friendly reception staff immediately escorted us to a nice table by the window (we were very lucky, because it was a Saturday night and though it was late, they were quite busy actually). It was after all their "A Night in Omotesando" evening, and we already had plans to head up to the Aqua Spirit bar after the meal....My friend and I don't really splash out on posh nosh that often so it took us absolute ages to decid

Having turned up without any prior restaurant booking, I was relieved that the friendly reception staff immediately escorted us to a nice table by the window (we were very lucky, because it was a Saturday night and though it was late, they were quite busy actually). It was after all their "A Night in Omotesando" evening, and we already had plans to head up to the Aqua Spirit bar after the meal.... My friend and I don't really splash out on posh nosh that often so it took us absolute ages to decide what to order. While we struggled to make up our minds, we were invited to a free glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne and a few delightful appeteasers, which sure helped put us in the mood but made the ordering no easier. Eventually, we decided to order starters and main courses from the Italian menu and share all. First, we had the scallop and Taleggio cheese fondue with truffle caviar. The three white gems were seared just enough so they were perfectly tender and of delicious smooth texture. The creamy sauce was a pure delight and the luscious pearls of truffle added a touch of luxury to this appetizer.
Next came the hand-pulled Burrata, probably the most precious of all buffalo mozzarella cheeses, with the unique texture that is highly addictive. The presentation of this beautiful plump sphere was truly magnificent: resting on a nest of rocket salad surrounded by an emerald green pond of gorgeous herbs and garnished with the most delicate leaves and a stunning blue petal - it was almost too beautiful to eat. But of course, the inhibitions were short-lived and once we started on the Burrata, it soon disappeared.
My friend had ordered the garoupa, which came served on a bed of spinach and delicate mushrooms was complimented by an utterly decadent helping of freshly sliced white truffle. The fish was moist and tender and its flesh was shiny and white, just was we like it. The spinach worked perfectly with the fish while the truffle gave that certain "je ne sais quoi" that made it a very memorable dish.
I had opted for what I thought would be a slightly pimped up Carbonara, but oh my, this was something in an entirely different league from any Carbonara I ever tasted before. The pasta was perfectly cooked, slightly al dente (neither chewy nor mushy) and the creamy eggy sauce was of mouthwatering colour and tasted absolutely divine. The sauce was well balanced in flavour and texture, and it coated every single strand of the pasta and adhered well to it without being sticky. The crispy bacon that sat on the pasta like a crown was an unexpectedly tasty delight and it cumbled easily over the pasta to blend with the rest of the dish so you got a piece with every mouthful. Even my friend had to admit that my dish reigned supreme that evening and I was very happy with my choice.
To go with our lavish meal, we had humbly ordered the most affordable Pinot Noir by the glass - and it was an excellent choice. After that lavish pasta I was pretty much done but ever the glutton, my friend ordered a portion of the classic Aqua signature Tiramisu. I didn't even have to try it to know it is awesome as I had tasted it many times before. And judging by my friend's sheepish grin, it was just what he had wanted.
This was again a spectacular dinner with excellent service, breathtaking views and an atmosphere that is very hard to trump if you ask me. After the meal, we went upstairs to the bar where the party "A Night in Omotesando" was in full swing. The professional make-up artists was there beautifying women, turning them into gorgeous geishas, while two stunningly beautiful dancers in short kimonos did a jaw dropping performance on the dancefloor. We indulged in Porn Star Martinis - it was a night to remember!
We sure will be back for more over the festive season!

The Carbonara is to die for! Be sure to check out the bar upstairs and while the Harbour view is awesome, check out the view towards Kowloon - amazing!

Aqua is an amazing place to go for a drink ...not raccomanded for food! Me and my friends we have been there for a Sunday" infinity brunch " and the only thing I did really enjoyed was the free flow for champagne, wines & cocktail . The food was nothing special , we were 4 of us , the starter sushi portion (to share) they were not enough for 4 people , we had to keep asking the waiter to bring more ,but every time they take ages to arrived. Then we had the pasta dishes that was nothing special , actually we didnt eat ,as was overcooked & not so tasty. We choose the main courses (deep fried prawn & salmon) they were ok. As last we had the desserts ,nice presentation but not good in flavour . Overall the restaurant look amazing , with one of the best view in town! I would go back only for having a drink.

My VIP guest from Sweden and I had yet another perfect Aqua experience, this time with the glorious Sunday "Infinity" brunch with free-flow of Veuve Clicquot (my favourite!).The moment we arrived at the table we were welcomed with a nice glass of bubbly and the offer of water or other drinks. Only seconds later, the warm selection of breads and home-made aioli arrived along with a bowl of lightly salted steamed Edamame. We dug in right away while taking in the glorious sight of Victoria Harbour.

Only seconds later, the warm selection of breads and home-made aioli arrived along with a bowl of lightly salted steamed Edamame. We dug in right away while taking in the glorious sight of Victoria Harbour...
First up was a selection of Italian antipasti: some marinated grilled eggplant with perfect little mozzarella spheres and gorgeous ham, all on a bed of peppery arugola.
Then came the mixed sushi and sashimi platter, which we liked that much, we asked for another one right away. It came with a new variete that was even better - yum yum.
Next we had lovely penne with ground beef, herbs and tomato
The cold soba noodles came in a delicious broth and topped with a perfectly poached egg. I'm a great fan of poached eggs and very fussy - this one was superb!
We were actually already getting rather full but the manager came over for a chat and another glass of bubbly and so we bravely orderd our mains from the menu. My friend had the tempura, which looked perfectly golden and crisp,
This is really the best thing to do on a lazy Sunday when you don't feel like crowd surfing in the malls or being eaten by mosquitos in the country park.
Thanks again to the amazing Aqua team for making our day just perfect! Love you lots!

Don't be afraid to ask for more. It's an "infinity" brunch and nobody has to leave the table hungry.
Really a great city brunch for the busy professional who can't get away from the desk for more than an hour or two but doesn't want to compromise on quality and style.My friend and I tried the "Express Lunch". The moment we sat down, we received a selection of warm bread with aioli (very nice) and our drinks arrived promptly, too.The menu was bigger than expected, but we quickly decided on the 2-course Express Lunch and opted for a naught glass of Veuve Clicquot to celebrate "hump day".

The menu was bigger than expected, but we quickly decided on the 2-course Express Lunch and opted for a naught glass of Veuve Clicquot to celebrate "hump day". My friend had the air-dried beef on rocket (Arugola) salad
The portions were actually quite big so we decided to decline the staff's offer to bring the dessert menu. This is a very good quick quality lunch. I highly recommend it to people who want more than just the starndard canteen fare but with the need for speed.

The mackerel was divine!
Beware of the warm bread with yummi aioli - highly addictive
