Aqua Terra Grill - San Pablo

Great Experience love the atmosphere and love the chefs ! Keep it up y’all!!

This is a culinary school with a cafe and patio dining. We came today for patio dining since Covid doesn't allow for indoor dining. They have a regular menu just like a regular restaurant but run by students. There's a supervisor that supervises them but everything takes extra time. For example, we normally would finish lunch in 30 minutes but here, it takes more than an hour. The students were confused and took our dish to another table and dessert took 15 minutes even though it's already prepared. The prices are amazing. I had a wonderful salmon dish (see picture) with a big piece of perfectly cooked salmon with rice and lima beans for 8 dollars! My husband enjoyed his pork belly dish for 7 dollars. We also ordered honeyed brussel sprouts for 3 dollars but they were soggy and I didn't like them. They also have an extensive drink menu for Matcha Chai lattes, coffees,and other drinks. If you have time and can fit into their schedule which is only Tuesdays to Thursdays between 11-12:30, this is a great place to try many dishes for almost nothing!

I went here after a tour of Contra Costa College. To be honest, I was very surprised. The people who work in the kitchen and work on the floor are all students in the culinary arts department and they are very well trained and they do their jobs well. I ordered the salmon, because it wasn't overpriced and because it was gluten free. The waitress was pretty knowledgeable and so what I thought would be an OK, run of the mill meal turned out to be quite delicious. I would recommend that anyone, who happened to be on campus would make a mistake if they didn't stop by for a meal. It's not a destination for me, because of the parking and the walk into the campus, but if in the area, I'd totally go by there for lunch or dinner. The have good, fresh, delicious food at a reasonable price.

Omg I love this place.Great place to eat and try new thingsStudents are always so nice and friendly!!

All I can say is amazing service, amazing food, and amazing prices. I'm so happy I found this jewel. Well if it wasn't for my niece being in the culinary program I probably wouldn't know of this place, so if I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. This place is awesome and the students are great I'll be back again!!! I definitely recommend this place.
