Aqua Prime

Delicious dinners and attentive, informed service. We are returning with family for Thanksgiving Dinner later this week
Prime Rib and Salmon were both perfectly cooked. The draft IPA was hoppy and herbal. Nice choices in house and branded wines by the glass
Lots of choices for early dinners at $ 14 including salad, entrée, starch, veggie and dessert

Went with a large group of family and friends. We enjoyed ourselves, but there was nothing particularly impressive about the restaurant. The consensus was that the food and service were okay. We had higher expectations based on reviews of the website and they were not met.
It might be the «best seafood restaurant» in Indian rocks Beach, but we’ll be going somewhere else next time.

Spectacular! A reservation for six with Open Table, outside dinning under the lighted trees with air conditioning stations blowing cool air on a warm summer night. Live music drifting out from the open bar area. Television screens visible inside the bar for the sports nuts. There was something for everyone on the patio at Aqua Prime.
Our server, David, was very friendly and informative. He did an excellent job keeping us full of the complimentary warm pita bread and white bean hummus — yum!
All the food was delicious. My husband had the fresh catch, Mahi Mahi with warm goat cheese — very tasty. I had the prime rib and I have to say it was probably the best I’ve had anywhere. I also ordered an add-​on of scallops (cooked to perfection) with coconut curry sauce which was also very good. My favorite thing was the gnocchi with mushrooms side. Weight watchers beware — swimming in a flavorful butter sauce is part of what made it oh so good! I will be ordering that every time we go… yes, we will be back, again and again I’m sure. Loved it!

Having opened just over a year ago, Aqua Prime is bringing elegance and modern flair to the Steak & Seafood scene in Largo. For comparable prices as other surf and turf joints, this restaurant is making waves. We arrived during peak dinner time and luckily were seated right away. They have both an indoor and outdoor dining area. If the weather is holding up, opt for the outside seating. AP provides heating lamps so even if there’s a breeze you’re not too chilly. Surrounding the dining area are beautiful hanging glass lights which really up the ambiance factor. It’s welcoming and classy.
What I really love is that AP offers up complimentary warm pita and homemade white bean hummus. So different from what I’m used to, and SO delicious. It was a great starter to an even more fantastic meal. They offer a «sunset dinner» if you arrive between 4−6pm which provides you with a salad, entrée and dessert for $ 14. That’s a pretty great deal if you ask me.
I ended up ordering the 8oz. Top Sirloin with mashed potatoes and the House Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette. For starters, the salad was fantastic. Very fresh and I was glad to see they didn’t skip on the leafy greens. And I really loved the citrus dressing. As for the Sirloin, it was top notch. My steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and the mashed potatoes were creamy/​smooth. I enjoyed every aspect of my meal and was thoroughly impressed.
I was also able to try the Curry Seared Scallops. Interesting, right? I don’t think I’ve ever seen those flavor combinations before. But let me tell you, it works. The coconut curry sauce elevated the scallops to another level and packs a flavorful punch. If you’re hungering for something more «out of the box», this one might be for you.
Aqua Prime, you have impressed me. I was blown away from the elegant atmosphere to the risky as well as classic food pairings. Next time I’m in FL, you bet I’ll be back.
