Aqua Blu Kitchen & Cocktails - American restaurant in Toms River - 3410 NJ-37, USA

Have driven by this place so many times and never would've thought this place was so beautiful! We were staying nearby in Tom's River and were looking for some place to have dinner when this place came up on our search. I'm happy it did, because if not, we would've never come in. Deceived by what the outside looked like, the inside did not disappoint! The space is great for a cozy, intimate dinner for two or for a party of twelve. Our server was very nice and attentive. We always appreciate a server that recommends a good dish or drink and makes sure that you're enjoying your time. We'll definitely be back next summer!

Really nice dinner experience with friends here. Service was excellent (thanks Juan) and food was very good. The burger with the pasta on top my friend had was kinda weird, but my bolognese was excellent. We sat in the back room luckily because it was very loud in the other dining area. The bar area was jumpin'

Very nice well decorated upscale restaurant. The have a large bar in the front with a casual dining area with live music and a more formal dining area near the kitchen. Kitchen is open for view which I like to see. All was very clean and the food was very good.

This place was awesome and they accommodated my party of 6 last minute on the holiday weekend!! Our server was knowledgeable and made great recommendations!! Everyone enjoyed their meals but I must highlight mine!! The swordfish skewers were delicious!! I’m reviewing it all now- at estrellas_allornothing.

We went during happy hour and the bar was crowded. Mussels, wings and eggplant were fabulous. They serve bread for dipping in olive oil which is hard to resist. Excellent food for a discounted price during happy hour. Service could have been better. A little slow at refilling drinks and checking on the food afterwards to see if we needed anything. We would definitely return.

This place was amazing! Very welcoming and friendly… easy to make a reservation right online. Our waiter was very professional and friendly…. And let me tell you the food was great! Also what an amazing look on the inside. Thank y’all!

Went there to meet some friends, very nice bar. Atmosphere was great had a DJ playing music and singing very good voice. We just ate some appetizers the eggplant one was so good didn't like the shrimp one overcooked. Was a great night!

Great atmosphere. Great service. Food on the other hand … I expected better. I would say taste is subjective but my whole table had the same feeling. I can see why it’s a 4 star location. I don’t mind a $600 bill, I find it hard to justify when the ice cream tastes and looks the same as what’s in the boardwalk. The pasta was the same no different than what I can make at home. The pork chops were over cooked. Just the whole food experience was ok at best. The service and atmosphere was great.
