   My second time there and will be my last. While the service was good it did not make up for the overpriced poor equality food. The fish did not taste fresh and lacked any taste. At over $40 for an entree with all side dishes extra, it should have been much better. There are so many choices in the area , and any of them would have been better. I would recommend you try one of them instead.

   For starters, asked for a seat inside. We were sat next to a huge open window. At the time, it was around 53 degrees. Needless to say, we were cold for the entire meal. Food wasn’t good at all. If it wasn’t for our Server Jordan, the rating would have been a 0. While the food was not good at all, he really did make his best attempts to make the experience enjoyable.

   We were celebrating the birthday of our friend from Florida. We requested a table at the window which we got. Our waiter Jordan was very attentive. The drinks and food were all great. We live in San Diego and Water Grill is one of our go to restaurants and they didn’t disappoint on this special occasion.

    Martini good, Bread outstanding, Oysters fantastic, Halibut dry and no flavor. The main dish was really terrible. The service was decent a tad slow in getting more bread and bringing out espresso late after dessert was finished. Overall would only go back for the bread.

    Food was OUTSTANDING, as always. Service was not as attentive as it could have been for what we spent, but we’ve had great service at this location before - our sever just seemed very busy, which happens. I’ve been saying all morning ‘that was such a great meal last night…’ and that’s what you want from a restaurant experience.

    Decided to book a reservation based on a recommendation from my fiancé’s coworker. When we arrived we were greeted by the hostess and I informed them we were early. She responded no problem, we have a table available and seated us in a booth upstairs. Once we started to order our food is when the lack of professionalism and service began. Our server was young, inexperienced, and never trained properly. We asked if they had bleu cheese stuffed olives for martinis, our server responded, “I think so,” so we ordered two martinis. We also order oysters, the oysters arrived before the martinis. The service just continued to get worse, upon ordering a very expensive bottle of wine, I was asked if I wanted to try it? We were each poured a small portion after my initial taste, and never had any server pour another drop. I watch the staff stand and talk while I had an empty glass and dirty dishes on my table. Management was called and tried to right the wrong, their solution was to offer a gift card to return another time…? Obviously management and training is the issue. Will never dine here again.

    The apps & salads were very good. Main courses of blackened cod and tuna were not good. The server was not knowledgeable on the wine list and didn’t refill empty glasses from the bottle we bought. We did that ourselves.

    It's a fun place to dine, and an atmosphere to love. Great service. We both ordered cioppino and it had all the required items-crab, octopus, shrimp, fish hunks and mussels. I make this at home often and we both agreed that mine had a much better seafood taste then this here. What they served was rather bland and tasteless.

    Group dinner for 6- food was excellent and waitress was wonderful. Jena (sp?) was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and hard-working. She brought out a live king crab to our table! This place is a little more casual than the Costa Mesa location. The seafood is pricey but delicious. Fun atmosphere but loud. It was really tough to have a conversation.

    Waitress was very personal and great. They didn’t have two of the items we ordered one of which being lobster and they said we only have the 2.25 and we asked will you honor the 1.5 price since they ran out and they said no. They pushed the swordfish on us and talked about ow great it was so we order it instead of lobster and it had no flavor and no taste. The salmon roll would have been good if they got rid of the like vinaigrette they added to it.

    The menu is creative and fairly deep. Very shellfish heavy. The food was well prepared and the service excellent. The vibe is good, but somewhat loud, as the open space fills with sound. We enjoyed it.
