One More Restaurant Test
Running this little blog is great: It gives me justification to check out all the new restaurants opening for this season.

Last night, we tried the new Aqua, next to Lal's Indian Cuisine and only a few steps away from the airport. Aqua has been constructed right on the dock over the water and offers an interesting concept: It is part Sushi bar, part French restaurant.

The European menu offered is reasonably priced and offers solid home cooking. The Sushi selection is adequate and presented well. Due to limited demand, Sushi and Sashimi can't be cheap on our island, but Aqua does offer the best deal on St. Maarten.

The idea of two menus of non-competing food styles appeals to me, because it is sometimes difficult for two couples to decide on Japanese food; there is always somebody who hates the stuff and blocks the rest of the group. Now with Aqua, there is no excuse anymore.

The restaurant has comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. It would have been cozy if the lights would be a little bit dimmer.

For parking, turn into the driveway at Lal's and drive down to the water's edge.
