Aqua Restaurant is family friendly. We offer a 6 pm sitting in addition to a 9 pm sitting on Fridays and Saturdays only.

Aqua Eight is passionate about fine wine and serves an extensive list of white, red and sparkling wine and champagne (many available by single glass too). We serve "flights of wine" with our set dinners. Eight Bar provides a relaxed atmosphere for over 25's with an extensive selection of spirits, beers, champagnes and cocktails.

Our “Small Eats” Pan Asian mezze style dishes are ideal for informal dining, as appetisers or for diners with smaller appetites (children are most welcome in our main restaurant).

Aqua Garden is open in the evenings and at weekends, available for private parties and function hire, BBQ's, gourmet evenings and Charity events. This secluded garden is unique in design, featuring our family shrine, a water sculpture and comfortable seating areas that are heated and undercover. It is ideal for a quiet drink midweek, and at weekends it's our party space for DJ and live music events.

This month SOTE will be taking full control. Watch the name! They have releases on labels who are held in the highest regard in the house scene. This summer expect to see their next release on Quantize with remixes from DJ Spen and Conan Liquid. You'll have heard their music on Kiss and now you can see the guys who made the music.
Free entry for free spirited people to get down and have a good time.

We've been here for drinks before and loved the atmosphere. This was our first time eating here and I have to say it was some of the best food we've ever eaten. Great service and the table was decorated beautifully for my birthday. We'll be back soon and will definitely recommend Aqua 8 to other people.

User

Stunning food, wonderful service, I would go back again and again! Highly recommended for a really special evening!

User

My favourite place to eat in Ipswich and first choice for my birthday meal. Great food, good service, fab wines and cocktails, love this place. Been many times and have never been disappointed.

User

Many time have we eaten at aqua8 and it’s been perfectly delicious every time. The James Bond is my favourite drink to have but couldn’t possibly pick my favourite dish

User

Lunch time menu is great value at £15.50 for 3 courses including a glass of wine � Had a lovely lunch on Tuesday but not happy when the waiter started clearing the table whilst one of us was still eating...next table complained about the same problem & had their bill reduced! Maybe he needs a lesson in customer service as we've never had this problem b4....certainly won't stop us returning soon though as the food is always superb! �

User

Here on Saturday 23rd, food was fabulous and staff were lovely and very attentive, and cocktails afterwards downstairs and in the garden area were execellent, it really made for a great evening

User

Food was superbly cooked and presented. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. Given appropriate time to browse the menu and ask questions, with no barriers. The food arrived in good time with nice pace between each course. Throughout all the staff that interacted with us were very polite and courteous. We felt welcome the whole time. Would visit again.

User

Food was great service was impeccable. Will be back again

User

Excellent food, excellent service....go try it!

User

Enjoyable & Exquisite dining experience in this area. The food is always on point and superbly presented, a varied menu including a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian options. Great setting and decor, if you haven't visited yet it's well worth a try. Exceptional.

User

Cocktails downstairs followed by some lovely food ! worth every penny thankyou !

User

Best food I’ve had in a long time high price but well worth it ��

User

Aqua8 never disappoints from beginning to end. A fantastic range of drinks and great backing music will set you up for what is to come. The food is just sublime. If you are ever in or around Ipswich this is a must destination.

User

And thankyou so much for donating a raffle prize for our local Ipswich charity Brookes Wish to walk. What an amazing gesture & we really are so very grateful xx

User

Amazing food, great service. Definitely going back

User

Jenine was amazing! She kept my 2 yr old niece calm by giving her balloons. She provided such a good service and nothing was too much to ask! Although the set menu had very small portions it was still an ok restaurant.

User

Food is superb and beautifully presented - not the cheapest Asian food money can buy but certainly one of the best - best to book early and also enjoy the cocktail bar downstairs

User

Brilliant service and fantastic food topped off with some great music (Tony Ryder ) great night would recommend 👌👌

User

We had a table booked on Saturday 21st April and paid a deposit, the table then got cancelled!! After a abrupt discussion with the manager he said we can still fit you in! Completely unacceptable, as I had already paid a deposit over the phone 4 days prior to booking, but that was only the start. We all had starters beautiful, followed by crab then two of us very quickly had to go to the toilet only to projectile vomiting and had to leave the restaurant then a further 2 if our parties were sick during the night! Very poor service with a very disappointing evening..
