If you want to overspend on your food, get bad service and be rushed through your dinner for no apparently reason, then Aqua in TST is definitely what you are after. :upset

My husband booked dinner for us there because the view was nice. That really is the only thing going for this place. It was a Tuesday night. My husband was told that there would be a HK$380 minimum spend per head when he reserved the table. When we arrived, I only wanted a glass of plain water to wet my mouth before settling into a nice bottle of wine but was told they do not serve plain water. Instead, I could pay over the odds for a bottle of water. The lady at the next table managed to get a glass of warm water, but when she wanted a refill, I overheard a discussion between the waiter and the manager as to whether or not she should be allowed one! On top of all this, our 3 courses were rushed through in 40 minutes and I am quite a slow eater as it is. They definitely did not need our table for someone else; the table next to us was vacant for at least 20 minutes before being filled. I did not want to make a fuss on the night as it was my birthday and my husband had chosen the restaurant. Instead, I emailed Aqua the following day, requesting specifically for them to send me a reply. It has been over a week now and they do not even have the decency to write back. I will never return to this restaurant, and will never suggest anyone go there either. There are plenty of brilliant restaurants in Hong Kong where you get the enjoyable experience you should receive when dinning out.
