    Scallops with butternut squash purè
    Allison P.

    Good, service, ambiance is absolutely fantastic!! The view of the golf course at 7pm was stunning and the food was insane!

    Chillean sea bass
    Nick S.

    The food was amazing! We had charcoal Oysters, ahi tuna and lobster shumai. Everything was delicious. For main course we had Chilean sea bass and Veal stank and was very flavorful and the presentation was gorgeous. The service is exceptional! And they made our visit unique and an amazing experience!

    "Absolutely EXCELLENT!! As vice president of DC Foodies, I highly recommend Aqueous!! Every dish was extremely flavorful, creative, and made my mouth dance. The Amish bread with honey butter & apple butter, yummy broccoli ceaser salad, perfect salmon w/ fried rice, sea bass taste like butter, and dessert literally exploding in your mouth (seriously - ask for it) was great. Amazing service -- Carol was exceptional -- made us feel like celebrities, so warm, we felt like family visiting her home. Run, don't walk to Aqueous! DC Foodies APPROVED! EXCEPTIONAL!

    Lobster Thermidor

    The food was terrific but our server, Carol, really helped make the dining experience more enjoyable. I look forward to returning at some point in the not too distant future.

    Avocado toast

    Breakfast is a must do! The service was spectacular. Kate and her team were on top of everything. We had mimosas with mango puree, coffee, bread and goat cheese plate. Then we moved on to the main course. I had the classic, eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. My husband had the special surf and turf omlet and the avocado toast. My meal was perfectly prepared and came with a tasty garnish of arugula in a bright vinaigrette. The omlet had huge chunks of lobster and was topped with perfectly cooked flank steak. The avocado toast had three jumbo shrimp on top. All was quite delicious! We were stuffed at the end of this meal!

    Chilean Sea Bass with lentils

    Everything was prepared to perfection and the service was extraordinary. Chef Jeff hit it out of the park with the Chilean sea bass and the seared scallops. Absolutely amazing experience.....thank you to all the staff who delivered an evening to be remembered and savored.

    Ahi tuna and Caesar Salad. The Ahi tuna is an appetizer but my friend had it as a meal and could barely finish it.

    I highly recommend eating at this restaurant while staying at Nemacolin Resorts. We had dinner and breakfast there and both were amazing! Customer service is top notch and so is the food!! Don't miss out on this! I'm just sad today was our last day there and we just discovered it last evening or we would have been eating dinner there again tonight! Both meals we were surprised with a a little something extra. For dinner they gave us a piece of sushi that was so good, I would have ordered it had it been on the menu. They also gave us a chocolate truffle at the end of the meal, both complimentary. A perfect end to an amazing meal. For breakfast, we got a warm blueberry doughnut circle nestled in a creamy lemon icing. The ambience also stellar. I can't wait for another trip!

    The most magnificent Lobster Bisque and Lobster Mousse croissant  that I have ever had!!

    We came to Nemacolin as a late Valentine's Day weekend and had dinner our second night at Aqueous. As usual, they did not disappoint. The Lobster Bisque was the best I have ever had. The croissant was the icing on the cake for me!! Hubby had the Octopus salad and it was actually incredible. They delivered the octopus on hot coal rocks which made it crispy not rubbery. For dinner we had both catches of the day- Walleye and Baked Cod. I was so excited to dig in, that I forgot photos. They were both excellent, but I especially enjoyed the potato crust on the walleye, For dessert we shared the pineapple cheesecake and my husband courageously ate the marigold flower on the plate.HINT- he said I stayed just like it smelled . Incredible dinner as always and would have to say that everything from service to dessert was top notch!

    Jamison our sever was so sweet and was very vested in our enjoying the meal. Hendren (spelling) was always there and worked so good with Jamison. The manger Bertram was so kind and invested in our service and enjoyment of the food. Most of all the food was AMAZING!!! The lobster bisque was literally EPIC and the best we ever had. Clams were out of this world!!! Halibut was so tasty and prepared to our specific request!! The salmon chef taster provided was so awesome....loved the pickled jalapeño which just totally boosted the flavor experience. The chef stopped by he was so nice and proud of his work. Such a wonderful dinner!!! With a great view.

    Milk and Honey Dessert
    Brooke T.

    I wasnt impressed by their menu due to lack diversity. There wasn't much to chose from and a lot of it had the same theme - spicy. We got lobster bisque (forgot to take a picture) and shared the seafood tower. The seafood tower can easily feed 4 people. We were so full and sick by the end of the night. Everything on the tower was good. The lobster was a little tough when chewed. The bisque was delicious! The milk and honey dessert was top 3 best desserts that I have ever had in my life. Highly recommend it. Wait staff was good and attentive. The atmosphere was calm and enjoyable for all the kids that were running around.

    Realizing I never reviewed this restaurant, and I just recently labeled this as my favorite stop of 2019 overall. I was skeptical to make a reservation as last minute as I did. However, a Saturday night at dinner time was open and ready for us to be seated coming from about an hour away. It was a perfect fall day that topped off with a sunset where we were seated, in what felt like the top of PA, to watch. I appreciated the style, cleanliness and large capacity of the restaurant. I also enjoyed the fresh single rose in a vase. I remember loving the bathroom, the fresh towels, the fountain outside, the other areas in the building to lounge, the automated shades, and the bar along with decorated flower vases and greenery and valet. I remember not feeling so heavily stuffed even though we did eat a lot. I like doing many small courses. Every part of the dinner was great. Complimentary crackers and spread, wine suggestions, dinner specials, dessert options and of course our starters. I had a great view, and - like I said - There was a sunset, too.

    Stopped here having no idea this place even existed other than the Italian restaurant and the steak joint. Either way, it is located more on the golf side of things where the pro shop is. Glad I had navigation Bc i would have been lost with the grounds being vast. I would say one main problem is that there is no signage for it out on the road way or even once you get on the grounds to let you know you're going the right way. Complimentary valet service and a beautiful indoor area with seating as well as a lobby bar and outdoor fountains overlooking the course. We had reservations and I know that this place smells like money but overall being tended to by 5 people for water, meals, drinks, refills, food, extra items etc is a little much. Ordered a bourbon honey bee mixed drink which was garnished with a orange peel and was very good. We each had a salad with mine being a traditional variety mixed and tossed with poppyseed dressing. I wanted to order a steak (yes I know it's mainly seafood) but the only real option was a 20oz ribeye. So I went with the salmon that came with gold potatoes, some type of mash underneath and broccoli stalks. The salmon was over cooked - though they said it would be served medium. However- it's not a big deal. Had to get dessert which I went with the bananas foster pudding. It was good - presentation was nice. Also added a cup of coffee which may be the best I have ever had, got a refill and paid. Salmon was disappointing but the drink, wine, food, and dessert lean it more towards 5 than 4 stars.

    Took my wife here to celebrate her 50th birthday. Nice ambiance with great view of golf course, but service and food no where near justify the price point. While the food was good it certainly was not $650 for a party of two - good. MP for seafood tower was $185 which admittedly surprised our already lofty exceptions. While each course was "good" nothing was unique, noteworthy, or great. I understand when at Nemacolon you have to accept this reality, but from a restaurant perspective certainly not worth it IMHO.

    How far in advance do you have to make reservations before arriving at the resort?

    It depends how busy the resort is. Staying here the first week in April, it feels like we have the resort to ourselves! And so we were able to make restaurant reservations 24-hours in advance. But I wouldn't risk waiting during peak season.

    Do I have to be a guest of Nemacolin to eat here?

    In March 2022, yes only available to either an overnight guest or resort member /all access member.

The place was packed and the hostess would not look at us. She put her hand over her face and looked to the servers walking past. One of the servers said, "We're closed." We said, "oh... ok." And left. Listen, I've worked in the restaurant industry. I get it, it's frustrating when people come in close to closing time. However, if the posted signage has a closing time of 2pm that means you are open and taking customers until that time. If the kitchen closes earlier, that should be posted. If that isn't the case, even if you really want to clock out, you need to stay. Especially if you're located in a remote location with travelers coming through. Luckily there was a Dollar General nearby and we could grab something to eat... not the experience we were hoping for.

Upon entering we saw a "Happy Birthday" sign and were greeted by two lovely servers. A first bite was served while we waited for our cocktails . It was a chunk of very sweet watermelon on a wooden coaster. Next came some delicious bread with a leek butter. My daughter added the 4 shot cocktails to our experience and they were fun! Jell-O shots elevated quite a bit. Our appetizer was chef's choice which was burrata with grilled eggplant, peaches, greens and baguette. All so good! We enjoyed some extra cocktails from the menu, a blackberry mojito and a white Negroni with the appetizer. Then the entrees came along. I got the wild mushroom ravioli and she got the Faroe Islands salmon. This was the only part of the meal you had a choice in and you have to advise them ahead of time what you would like to eat as the main course. The final course was a creme brûlée serves in a 4 ounce mason jar. All in all, excellent quality of food and service with reasonable portions. We did not leave hungry. The screened in dining pod itself was very comfortable. It was a pleasant summer day so we did not need the fan or the heater which was available. They are nestled in the woods and sunshine peeks through the trees for a most serene dining experience. I commented that even if it were raining, you would be comfortable due to the design of the pods. There is a wide overhang so the rain wouldn't bother you coming in through the screens. If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate or just want to feel one with nature, this is an excellent option to consider. I highly recommend trying one out!

I chose the grilled ahi tuna with herb polenta, pineapple relish and veggies. Day of parking was a breeze. There is so much of it. Staff was incredibly helpful navigating where we needed to be. Our servers were so great at explaining all the dishes to us. A welcome plate is provided with some bites the chef wants you to try. For the first course I chose the shrimp skewer, biggest shrimp I've ordered out. The spring salad was delicious, I loved the vinaigrette. Next was the papparella pasta was sooooo good. Only complaint is wish I had more. My main that I chose earlier that week the ahi tuna was incredible. Such a big piece and much more food than I was expecting. For dessert the creme brûlée and some truffles. I loved looking around at the art work and design of the home. It is such a cool place. Looking out into the woods was like a fairy tale. Will absolutely have to be back to experience sitting in a pod.

We stopped in on a rainy evening, and the hot tea and dessert were the absolute highlights--comforting, warm, and exactly what we needed. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and clearly run by a team that cares. The hostess and staff were thoughtful, checking in just the right amount, and our server was attentive and kind. The food overall has potential, but a few dishes could use a little boost: The French onion soup was just okay--not bad, but not memorable either. The starter salad and seafood pasta were both fine, but didn't quite hit the mark. A small but impactful fix? Serve the bread warm--it would make a big difference. That said, the bones are there. The team is working hard, and you can tell they have the right ideas. With a few tweaks to the menu, this place could really shine.

For my meal I ordered the crab cakes which are billed as their signature dish. I is served with mashed potatoes and grilled mixed veg. Crab cakes were respectable - but somewhat on the smaller side.
