    A**. Smelt like onions all throughout. Service was not great; he wasn't attentive. Thankfully I asked a lot of questions about the menu because a lot of the ingredients are lies. Drinks are terrible. Go here after you already been somewhere else and you want to go somewhere else and can't find anywhere else to go. At least it's by the water.

    My husband and I were promptly seated but that was the only fast thing about the restaurant. We waited about 15 minutes before a server came to take our drink orders. Since we had plenty of time to look at the menu, we placed both our food and drink orders when the server finally came by and that was the last time we saw her. After another 15 minutes, so a total of 30 minutes, we hadn’t received any water (we were told they were out of glasses?), our drinks, or even the chips and salsa we ordered. We then saw another table who was just seated get both their drinks and chips/salsa. The restaurant wasn’t even overtly busy!! Our patience had run out and we left. Terrible service especially since it’s posted that they automatically add a 20% tip to all bills!!!

    Have been to Agua 301 multiple times but wanted the family to experience the area, the restaurant itself and the drinks and food. Our choices varied, but everyone agreed that the drinks and food were delicious, from the guacamole to the main courses to the tres leches for dessert. The service was prompt and continual. No doubt we will all return.
