   Noisiest restaurant we’ve ever been to. Had to shout! Waitress indifferent. Bill over $450 for 4. Two drinks. Won’t b returning.

   Hostess held spot despite running late- Special greetings from manager since owner USC grad and we were there to celebrate. Service was great- drinks brought quickly and spot on recommendations on food choices. Chilled raw bar is the best of any seafood- great oyster choices - chilled mussels especially good. Cannot go wrong with any of the main fish dishes- all of our prepared perfectly and tasty sides. Enough to split if go heavy in the apps. This place is worth the $$$$. I’ve been here three times - it does not disappoint.

   As always, food was excellent. Kendall, our server, was great but seemed a little rushed. However, the restaurant was quite busy with a USC event. Host and hostesses were pleasant and helpful. I always go for the fresh fish, and it never disappoints. I tried the Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre), and it was excellent - served ice cold - perfect!

   Celebrated my brother-in-law’s bday on a Thursday evening. Our late arrival was easily accommodated. The service and food was excellent. It can be a bit loud but not unbearable. Good for groups. We also found out that there was no corkage for wine. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend the place.

   Extremely expensive. Prices have gone up since the pandemic. The restaurant is very loud. Not a good place for a business mtg. Service was very slow definitely because the restaurant does not have enough waitresses. Nonetheless Food is excellent

    Been coming here a few times a year when visiting LA to see family/friends. Always have a great time as food and service is great. We get a booth in the back and enjoy ourselves. This past time half the group had filet mignon which they all loved and the other half had sea bass and bream which was also delicious. Jared was our server and he was perfect: friendly, attentive, and great sense of humor. All in all had a great time and highly recommend this place. And they are one of the few restaurants around that do NOT charge corkage fee!

    Excellent preparation of every dish (fish and chips, halibut, calimari). The halibut could not have had a better sear and the fish n chips were lightly fried and fresh. Our server was attentive and helpful. Price is a bit steep, but it’s downtown LA… I would go again in a heartbeat.

    Our server on this day was absolutely atrocious. Not only did he ruin our appetite and overall experience, he ruined our anniversary date. It took him a literal 20 minutes to check back in with us to see if we were ready to order our food. He spent those 20 minutes chit chatting with another employee, and once he was finished, which was really the icing on the cake, he pleasantly attended other tables that had a larger party, KNOWING he had not seen us in nearly 30 minutes. I had to obnoxiously raise my hand as if I needed permission to speak, just to get his attention so that he can attend us. Absolutely atrocious, ridiculous behavior and professionalism. I will not be returning to water grill.

    Water Grill is consistently good.Always. Perfect for a downtown business meal. As with everything else prices are approaching stratospheric but you can generally find something for every budget. You can’t go wrong. Service is exemplary and the fish is fresh and seasonal . Water Grill will always be my go to spot for a business meal

    was not the same - waiter not very attentive. Drinks took awhile to arrive..the food itself was not visually appealing as before. I was as if someone just flipped my fish onto a plate and not clean it up. The calamari appetizer was undercooked and soggy. The raw clams were very good and fresh tasting; and the Oysters Rockefeller were luke warm and the topping crumbs soggy.

    The salmon was amazing. If you want a quiet place to have a conversation, though, you should find somewhere else to go. The restaurant is really noisy, even at 9:30 pm on a weeknight.

    The food was fantastic with the exception of the Brussels sprouts. They had good flavor but were not cooked enough. When we made our reservations, I included that we were celebrating our Anniversary. The wait staff nor the hostess ever addressed it.

    This is one of the best seafood restaurants in LA. I got a octopus tail and crab cakes for the appetizers and order the Mahi Mahi for my entre. Both were cooked perfectly, not dry and flaky. The Mahi Mahi cut through with my fork very easily. A great way to celebrate my 21st Birthday!!

    2 hostesses seemed preoccupied prior to our arrival even though we attempted to let them know that we were there early for our reservations. It was not that busy. We had early reservations well before dinner rush times. They did not pay attention to us or what we said at all and just sat us which caused a mix up and me reviving an e-mail stating that we never showed up to our reservation. Although the server was nice, he was not attentive at all. And not just him but almost the entire staff seemed un-attentive to us almost the entire duration of our dinner. The food was great but due to lack of customer service I don’t think I will be going back.
