Aqua Restaurant Review: There’s a water wall, that contemporary crest of upscale eateries, in the clubby yet airy bar-lounge. You feel for it, given its competition. The deep blue expanse of the Chesapeake Bay is the opposite view from any of the large windows throughout this restaurant, where price points are lower than its waterfront perch and glistening turquoise tiled columns suggest. Succulent grilled rack of lamb carries the heftiest price tag, but we’re partial to seafood in this setting, such as pan-seared flounder, fried oysters and seared tuna or, for the indecisive, Bay Creek bouillabaisse (clams, rockfish, PEI mussels, large shrimp and bay scallops over saffron rice). There’s a clear broth clam chowder and sandwiches are offered even at dinner. Chef Shelly Cusmina makes the most of neighboring farms’ produce and, naturally, local waterways at Aqua, just one part of Bay Creek Resort & Club, a community north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The lounge stays open after the kitchen closes when there’s a bar scene. |
