Water Grill - South Coast Plaza

First of all the service is always fantastic, the food amazing, and ability to bring in a bottle of wine with no corkage fee phenominal. Great way to spend a "Corona Virus" day

one of the best seafood place that I have visited so far. Service was great too. with COVID 19, I wish they sit us with little spaces in between with other parties.

We had early dinner reservations before a play and kept the reservations when the play was canceled. The service was terrible. We were constantly looking for our waiter and service. The food was fine. This restaurant is probably good for a quick meal before an entertainment event, but it is definitely far from fine dining.

We enjoyed the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. They gave us excellent service, suggesting wines and food. The food was delicious especially the Chilean sea bass. It made a great anniversary dinner.

The food was consistently over seasoned. The crabcakes were too spicy. Our attentive waitress immediately offered us a different appetizer option- the calamari, but it was salty and again too spicy, even without the dipping sauce. We shared the scallops, not realizing the dinner portion only had four medium sized scallops. At this price point I expect much better. Finally, on a rainy evening with very few patrons, we waited in the rain vainly looking for a valet, I finally had to go find one to get my car. If you haven’t been to water grill before- save yourself the trouble and go down the street to capital grille instead .

food selection is limited. Food quality is so so.

The proximity to Bristol makes it loud with the road noise. Service was subpar...water glass was empty all the time and we had to ask to have empty plates removed.

Great seafood and service

Excellent food choices, very comfortable environment, outstanding service

It was a wonderful experience! Sure we come back!!

The atmosphere is amazing! Very impressive! The food was wonderful and our server was outstanding. We will most definitely be back!

Nice restaurant, outstanding seafood and shellfish options. I love the restaurant style. We chose the bar area, nice seating and our bartender was great.

I was surprised the food wasn’t that good, service was decent and nice place, but for the price there are many other places to get a better meal.

We’ve been dining here for a while - it’s getting a tad boring in terms of the menu. Time to change things up!

Water Grill is great upscale experience for those looking a for high end dining experience. The restaurant is located close to the Performing Arts Center is the perfect spot for catching some cocktails before or after a show.

We went for brunch and the food was average. The salmon hash with eggs was very greasy. The ambiance is always delightful but very noisy. Still a great place to go as high energy and the service is great.

Great food! Service was great as usual. I had mentioned that one of the dishes was not what I had expected and the next thing, I was speaking with the evening manager, who apologized for the dish and took it off my bill, which was not my intention, but they were quite apologetic. A very good touch of class.

If I had one complaint is the noise factor. Every table is very close to each other and does require raising the noise level.

I would recommend this restaurant everyday.

The servers were very attentive but the food was quite disappointing for the price - salty and lacked flavor.

Our server was amazing. Chose the perfect wine, so friendly. Best experience I have had there so far!!

Going backward...the key lime pie is the best I have ever had. Crisp, delicious crust. Creamy, tart filling. Perfect meringue.
Dinner was delicious. Shrimp and grits (be sure to ask them to take off the shells!) and whole fish was wonderful.
Appetizer of stone crab claws. Wonderful. They only brought 1 small sauce. That's silly. We asked for another one.
The bread consistency and how it looks are great. But, they don't really taste that good. One has salt on top. And the butter has salt on top. Crazy! Too salty. Easy fixes. Wish they would.
It's a very noisy restaurant. I think it's the acoustics. Full or not, it's noisy.

Our meal and service were both exceptional. We requested a table near a wall or in a corner when I made the reservation, as I have hearing issues. With a little encouragement from my wife a suitable table was found for us.
