   We had a table for two outside with a nice view. It was getting a chilly and the waiters put two heaters on which was nice. We shared swordfish tapenade, chioppino and broccolini with a sausage. Broccollini was so-so, we did not like the sausage. Swordfish was excellent and the chioppino was very good. Our waiter Roger was very helpful.

   Thank you for an amazing experience. We arrived a bit early for our reservation, but you accommodated us and sat us right away at a beautiful table along the window with a view of the ocean and sunset. Our server, Roger, was incredible. Very attentive, explained the menu for us, offered great suggestions and was great to talk to. We felt like he went above and beyond to make sure our dinner was great. The food was as good as the other reviews promised. The bread is outstanding. Our soup was good (and they spilt it into two bowls for us which was really nice). The fish was flavorful and fresh. The drinks were good as well (and they had Booker’s Bourbon, which made me happy). We would absolutely recommend Water Grill to anyone visiting Santa Monica and if we are ever back in the area, I’m sure we will find ourselves back here again.

    The seafood in my cioppino was over cooked which was disappointing. Service was great though!
