Food and service was great!

My favorite place! Love everything, food, drinks and ambiance.
Hostess made me feel so special at my last visit! She went above and beyond and I so appreciate it!

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary at Water Grill. We ordered a whole crab and it was amazing. The crab is alive before we ordered so it’s as fresh as it gets. The crab is sweet and very soft. Very delicious, I will definitely come back here with my husband.

Service was great! Only complaint was items added to the bill that we didn’t order/didn’t receive, but it was a huge bill so I can understand things getting mixed up. Overall, amazing dinner and had an awesome time. Will come back for sure.

Exquisite food! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat with good company.

We are weekly customers that enjoys this dining spot.

The server was excellent and no one rushed us. The food was great , as usual.

Wonderful food and service. Please keep your Garlic Noodles on your menu all year round please!

Had an amazing time! Our server was funny and on top of everything! Will definitely be going back

I went to water grill many times in Santa Monica and down town. But this is not the great experience.
The food is not fresh. I ordered a cioppino. The crab meat was almost black. The food portion is very small.
In general, the food did not worth the amount that I paid.

Amazing place to dine and come to have a great time.

Time to get out and smell the fresh air, dine on seafood and enjoy good company. Water Grill answers all of these in one beautiful lunch seating. Our server, Brandon was extraordinary in recommendations, timing and overall service.

COVID-19 protocols followed and I felt safe and at ease to enjoy dining.

There are few restaurants that you look for reasons to return soon, but Water Grill is by far the one to make for a memorable afternoon.

Went for a birthday meal. Everything was great. With the portable divider screens, we felt safe and our area was very private. The food was wonderful.

The food was delicious as usual. Servers are very friendly

great food and drinks, they were fast and good service they also accommodated 12 people very nicely

Food was a bit salty

Friendly, helpful staff and great food whether dining inside or out in the patio area.

Amazing! Will definitely be my new monthly seafood spot.

My experience at the Water Grill in Costa Mesa was absolutely fabulous. The ambiance was great as was the service and the good. This was my third time there and I have never been disappointed. I would most certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to celebrate anything.

great food and service. did family style so we could try various items and they all were delicious

thank you all it was great
I definitely would return to try more dishes.

Nice "outdoor" place for guests. Some areas of the floor are less appealing.

Best service and food

We had a great server, great food and drinks, and loved the atmosphere. So glad to support local restaurants during this tough time. And their lobster roll was one of the best I've had outside of Boston.

Great ambiance, food is delicious, staff is welcoming, polite, knowledgeable.

Great ambiance, food tastes great and filled us up. We enjoyed the spiny lobster, seafood tower, and calamari. The maple cheesecake tastes excellent.

We've been there several times and the food and service is always excellent. Would highly recommend to friends and co-workers/

My wife and I had an early dinner at the beautiful Water Grill. We started with cocktails and a bottle of wine. All good so far. We ordered our dinner. She had the Sea Bass dinner and I had the Chinese New Year Lobster plate. We split a dinner salad. The food and service were good as usual but I really feel that the desert we chose was actually very subpar. A restaurant of the quality of the Water Grill should not even have a bad desert. The one we chose was the banana split sundae. It comes with banana flavored ice cream and chocolate covered flakes and chocolate sauce with frozen bananas. It is just not good. Maybe it is just me? My wife thought the same. I believe a re-evaluation of the desert menu may be in order. Just a suggestion to a beautiful and very nice established restaurant.

The ambiance is incredible inside the restaurant. The only option to parking is valet. The food is all around $25 and up and had no flavor or substance of being delicious. It just didn’t hit the spot and the fish and chip was totally bland.

Great sea food platter and lobster roll

Very good waitress

We were warmly greeted and promptly seated at our reservation time. Our server, Kiersten, was pleasant, prompt and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed our food a lot. The ambiance was nice and appreciated the safety precautions as well.

Reservation was made but seated about t

Great food, excellent services. Very happy to see many guests at the WGSCP. Make sure you make a reservation. Long line...

Delicious food fantastic service

Always great food. They seem to try their best to accommodate everyone during COVID. Hate feeling rushed for dinner. Especially when paying so much.

In my top ten favorite restaurants! The food, drinks and ambiance are great!

We were enjoy the food very much
