    My first experience eating at Aquitaine was outstanding. The lunch menu is diverse but not overwhelming. The choices are varied and seem to appeal to every palate. Duck, Steak, Tuna chosen by each of us was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The price of the food, the artful manner in which it was cooked, and level of flavor was worth every penny. I cannot wait to go back. The servers were wonderful. Antonio was attentive to our every need or request.
