The Scene
Shimmering aqua light washes over this visually dramatic suburban restaurant. The main room, bordered by inviting, high-backed booths, centers on a large, well-stocked bar. In a fun, unexpected turn, a common table set with tiny tea candles also holds a Scrabble board. Furled gossamer curtains partially conceal a jewel box sushi bar. Service is structured but friendly.
The Food
Inspiration outpaces execution in a self-conscious global cuisine menu that takes on everything from noodles to sushi to "very big sandwiches." The Yummy Yummy roll, berry-red tuna with a bright wasabi punch, puts you in the mood for a big dinner. A rich Maryland-style crab cake is nicely complemented by a mellow fennel slaw. Potato herb gnocchi, which have been fried, have the texture of soggy doughnuts.

What a wonderful repast at Aqua Blue – we belatedly (due to my health challenges) celebrated our Anniversary there last evening, and couldn’t have been more pleased with the delicious food, and the terrific service! I chose the Calamari appetizer – superbly tender with sweet chili sauce = yum! For main dish, every bite of the Lobster Ravioli was a scrumptious experience…. real lobster chunks were cradled in delectable home made, melt in your mouth ravioli, swimming in a luscious cream sauce, which the fabulous chef was kind enough to modify to exclude ‘shrooms & fennel (dietary limitations) for me! My finicky hubby raved about the shrimp spring rolls – I actually could see the shrimp bulging out from across the table! He also appreciated the trout, with both baked potato & fries. Even the bread selections were delectable – especially the focaccia & corn breads. The service was exceptional – Meghan was a dear – they should ‘clone’ her - she produced a lovely surprise for our anniversary! Even tho I thought I’d explode if I took another bite (she graciously had previously boxed up half of both my appetizer & entre), I just had to sample the molten chocolate cake with touch of crème freche & strawberry, and my hubby appreciated the ice cream compliment. A fitting topping to our fantastic evening. It certainly was worth every mile (we live up in the north GA Mountains), the three month wait to celebrate, and every penny! We can’t wait to come back for another go, and we discussed which sets of our guests we’ll want to treat to this marvelous feast soon!

My husband and I were visiting from Savannah a few weeks ago and came here with friends. It was really great. We were seated right away and had a wonderfully cozy and intimate seating area. No yelling across the table required. The food was awesome; never before had I seen or imagined fried green beans but they were wonderful and the highlight was the sushi. Beautifully prepared and gobbled up quickly. The service was also very good, never waiting or looking for help but also not hovering or interrupting. I am sure we will be returning here on our next visit to the ATL.
