We dined at Blue Moon last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our server, Judy, was so helpful and guided us to great choices from cocktails to wine, then entree and desserts. We both enjoyed the grouper which was prepared to perfection. We will definitely be enjoying this perfect gem of a restaurant again.

We were in Beaufort for two nights and couldn’t resist having dinner at Aqua both evenings! The first night we enjoyed dining outside, and the second night we chose to eat inside. While both experiences were wonderful, we have to say we prefer the atmosphere inside. The service was excellent both nights, and the food was absolutely delicious. Aqua is one of our favorite restaurants in Beaufort, and we always look forward to coming back whenever we’re in town. It’s one of those special places that keeps us coming back time and time again. We love Aqua and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Beaufort!

Delicious food and drinks and impeccable service. Ambiance was good but music could have been a tad louder. Not too loud but could barely hear it. Loved our experience and highly recommend this restaurant.
