Aqua Asia Club — Restaurant in Rotterdam

My recent dining experience at Aqua Asia Club left me with mixed feelings. While there were highlights, some aspects fell short of expectations.

Scallops in a Shell: The scallops, served in their shells, were undeniably delicious. However, the price tag attached to them felt excessive given the portion size.

Beef Tataki: We ordered the beef tataki, expecting a generous plate with well-cut beef. Unfortunately, we received only four small pieces of thinly sliced beef. At €18, it left us wanting more.

Salmon Tataki: Surprisingly, the salmon tataki, priced the same as the beef, offered thicker slices and felt more worthwhile. Still, the overall value seemed inflated.

Wagyu Carpaccio: Our anticipation for the wagyu carpaccio was met with disappointment. The serving size was smaller than expected, and we craved more truffle sauce to elevate the experience.

Duck with Foie Gras: While excited about the duck and foie gras, the portion of foie gras served alongside it left us wanting. We could barely tell if it was actually foie gras due to its minuscule amount. We hoped for a more indulgent pairing.

Service: In a high-end restaurant like Aqua Asia Club, impeccable service is expected. Unfortunately, we were surprised when one of our waiters struggled to pour a simple glass of beer. This oversight detracted from the overall experience.

Ambiance: Aqua Asia Club hosts a DJ every Friday and Saturday, creating a lively atmosphere. However, the music veered toward nightclub vibes, which clashed with our desire for a refined dining experience.

In summary, Aqua Asia Club has its merits, but the pricing, portion sizes, and service need reconsideration. If you're seeking a trendy spot with energetic music, it fits the bill. However, for a more traditional dining affair, you might want to explore...

The food is amazing, but it happens every time we go, they make a mistake with our food. Last time they forgot our food, every time we asked they said its on their way, after 40 minutes they realised they forgot about half of our food. Apologized thats it.

There staff is polite, but really looks like they don’t want to be there. It seems that they work really hard. We were sat upstairs with such a beautiful view & about 20 people were sitting upstairs & there was only ONE waiter. Everyone was waiting so long, they forgot our food & the food of people next to us, they also got visibly upset. It took a while for us to get our menu & to order, which was a bit annoying, also they kept making mistakes on which table ordered which dish. It happend like 4 times, they brought champagne to us, but it was for another couple, also happened with food they brought to other tables that was supposed to be for us lol.

The food makes it better, but it should not be that chaotic for such a good restaurant. Overall food is amazing view is amazing, honestly the staff is very nice, it just seems like they have more responsibility than they’re able to manage especially...

Went on both a Thursday and a Saturday evening. Have never felt more ignored at a restaurant...it took us almost 20 minutes for a host to even speak to us even though we had a reservation and the restaurant was half empty. The food was good but the service was severely lacking and both the servers and the hosts were extremely inattentive. Came back on a Saturday night to give it another chance and had an even worse experience. The food was inconsistent, and when we brought it up to the server that our starter looked way different then when we ordered on Thursday, they first tried to gaslight us into saying we ordered something different, and then admitted they were wrong and said that the chef was different that night so it must be it. They also let a very large and noisy party loiter at the bar and interrupt other patrons meals. Food was ok but definitely not anything special and you can get similar quality elsewhere for a better price and much...
