Staffs are friendly and very professional and that’s what it counts before food. I asked suggestions for wine and main dish; Oregon white wine that the manager recommended was outstanding and perfect pairing, our server advised me to try spiny lobster(Australia) which was on season, super fresh and meatier made my dinner wonderful! Iced shellfish platter was good too, super fresh and snails are included! I unfortunately have to take one star out for slow service. But everything was great and beyond.

The clam chowder was rather disappointing as it was really watery, not thick. Ling said it might be a taste preference but I don't think it's worth getting it considering the price. First time eating at the Water Grill with my girlfriend Ling. We had a good time, the atmosphere is busy and so understandably the service was rather slow on a Saturday evening. Ling loved the sushi we got and said it was very authentic and comparable to Japanese restaurants. With the right dishes, Water Grill is a great place to eat at.

Amazing seafood spot! Tried a bunch of cocktails, my favourite was the cucumber margarita (margarita verde). To begin with they serve you this very soft bread with a sea salt butter, which was very tasty! We got it thrice, lol. For appetizers, we got the chilled tower for 2, which I think is great as it comes with a good variety of seafood, including lobster, prawns, oysters, mussels, and snails. For mains, I really liked the whole sea bass- very flavourful. My wife is vegetarian, they were able to make a vegetarian pasta! Our sever, Chris, was a very friendly guy and amazing at giving us recommendations. Would definitely go back!

Stopped by for birthday lunch. The food was exceptional... Everything was fresh and tasty, my favorite being the Peruvian Scallops. I wish I had more time to order more. I will definitely be back!

First off, the food here is FANTASTIC. Probably the best piece of halibut that I’ve had in years. The side dishes were excellent too. It is what I would consider a “fair “value for the money. Excellent food at a slightly higher than average price – which I am more than willing to pay. You may ask yourself, then, why would I only rate at three stars? It’s because of the service. The restaurant was crowded so I ate at the bar. The bartender ignored me for over 10 minutes. It took forever to get a menu. It took forever to get a glass of water. It took forever for her to come over and take my order. It took forever for her to put my order in and, conversely, forever for me to get my food. Almost 20 minutes for my salad to arrive. Then, the people next to me had their food come out with their oysters. The server wanted to take the food back and told them they would “re-fire“ it before they brought it back out. I happen to over here and help them out by offering to take one of their halibut dishes, as that was what I had ordered. I am giving this review while waiting for my check, which I asked for 15 minutes ago. The people next to me, who are being served by the OTHER bartender, have received their check, paid their bill, had the rest of their bottle of wine, and are on their way out the door. I understand that people get busy, but what frustrates me is watching people around me get good service while being ignored…

Wonderful seafood dining experience. I had an excellent and flavorful cioppino followed by delicious caramel bread pudding! The staff were attentive, the atmosphere was vibrant with locals and travelers as patrons. For the family or a business lunch or a date this place is ideal.

We had a wonderful meal at Water Grill on 10/18. Our servers were excellent, professional, friendly and attentive. They paced our meal well and tended to our needs without being intrusive. We ordered an oyster sampler, tomato salad and a wedge salad for starters. I ordered the California spiny lobster and my husband ordered the black cod over noodles. Every dish was excellent. The bread with Asiago cheese and onion was delicious. It was a perfect dinner! We would definitely return next time we’re in town.

Loved this place their fresh platter was off the chain. I had 6 raw oysters different kinds, and 4 scallops, which were really good. I liked my crab cake it was good. I would have given 5 starts but my fries came out cold, which I still would have given 5 starts but when I told Nick who was an awesome waiter they came out with some more fries but this time they were darker and greaser as if they just refilled them in the oil, I hope they did not do that but, they darker and overly greasy and the first batch was not greasy so that was odd, if I am a foodie I think the chef doubled fried my French fries.
