    Service was great, and the food was very good and fresh. They were also filling a TV series across the street which was very cool.

    Outstanding experience as ever. Server Nicole was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was as perfect as one will always expect at The Water Grill.

    We had lunch at Water Grill the previous day and had a great experience, so we decided to go again the next day for dinner. We had two orders of Trojan Rolls and a Garden Roll. We had a couple of orders of the tacos. We asked for the tacos to be grilled rather than beer battered and the kitchen happily obliged. We finished with a chocolate cake. We enjoyed a nice bottle of champagne from the extensive wine list. The food was awesome and the service was great. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

    We love the Water Grill. This was our first visit to this location and it did not disappoint, We started with a couple of sushi rolls and had some tacos followed by a great dessert. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine from the nice wine list. All of the food was delicious. The service was excellent. A great experience all around.

    The server could have been more attentive. Simple request such as ice and more soy sauce were ignore the entire night. Nonetheless she (the waitress) was still lovely. However the food was amazing and seating was fantastic. I will for sure be returning to try more options on the menu. Excited to try the beach location next! Thanks to the staff and team.

    Great restaurant with excellent food and amazing service (Giovanna was attentive, polite and professional). Absolutely zero complains. Raw bar is fantastic, fresh and varied, as is the fresh whole fish. And if that's not good enough the corking fee is ZERO!!! Where else in LA can you to such a high end restaurant and not get gouged on corking!?!?!?

    Honeymoon oyster appetizer -- super fresh, as in I've only had it this fresh in Tokyo -- delicious and beautifully presented. Alaska cod on soba was perfectly seasoned with an unexpected touch of chilis and fresh mint. My husband had the filet which was a perfect medium rare and nicely seared seasoning.
