PALM BEACH, FL., -- Aruba's premier seafood restaurant, Aqua Grill, is celebrated for its fresh-only approach to seafood, the island's largest raw bar, enticing ambiance, and warm island service. Since its debut on the island dining scene six years ago, Aqua Grill has earned a devoted following by both locals and tourists. This winning formula and international critical praise set the scene for a second location, Aqua Marine Grill, in Palm Beach Gardens, FL in 2007.
Last week, Aqua Marine Grill received the "2008 Best of Palm Beach Gardens Award" in the Restaurants category by the U.S. Local Business Association (USLBA).
The USLBA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USLBA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.
Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2008 USLBA Award Program focused on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USLBA and data provided by third parties.
Aqua Marine Grill shares its Aruban roots with another local restaurant, Amazonia Churrascaria, which is also located in Palm Beach Gardens and recently received the prestigious award as Palm Beach's "Best Designed New Restaurant."
Care to sample the originals? Both Aqua Grill and Amazonia are located locally (adjacent to one another) in Palm Beach's high rise hotel area. For reservations, call Aqua Grill at 586-5900, and Amazonia at 586-4444.
