Love love love. Great wine selection. Awesome seafood. I do an event twice a year at the Biltmore. This is the perfect spot right next to it. To take clients for an amazing dinner. I just had lunch yesterday at the one in Costa Mesa. Equally as good. Even bigger inside. Even though it was bigger though the service did not suffer. The bartender and the server were equally great. Personable. Prompt, etc.

Had an absolutely lovely time here. We asked for a booth and got one, super cozy and with a beautiful view of the restaurant. I tried the Rosewood cocktail to start with and then i was hooked, it was fabulous ! The jumbo shrimp where a little bit smaller than we expected but never the less delicious, the in house sourdough bread is dangerous, you might accidentally fill up on it because it is so hard not to eat it all.... Both the buttery sweet crab and the super fresh Icelandic cod were pure masterpieces. Three Rosewoods later and a shared caramel bread pudding it was time to role out. We were so happy with the fabulous service, all of the food and cocktails and the ambiance, I cant wait to come back during my next L.A. visit!

Had dinner at Water Grill for the first time in years - I've always enjoyed dining at Water Grill but it has been quite awhile since my last visit. I'm glad to see that the quality of the food and customer service is still exceptional and top notch. The space is cozy, with convenient parking options close by. A few favorite items of our table included the chorizo & clams, calamari, and shrimp scampi. I wanted to give a special shoutout to Flavio, who provided exceptional customer service. We were celebrating two birthday dinners and Flavio was very attentive and anticipated our table's needs before we even had to ask him. His attention to detail went miles and made our dining experience a fantastic one. If you're looking for a great seafood experience in Downtown LA, this is your place. We'll be back again soon!

On a regular basis, Water Grill continues to be a popular casual dining yet high-end dining experience. For many years now Water Grill has been a goto place for seafood fine dining, and also a choice for celebrating New Years Eve. I am torn now in my opinion of such a long-time favorite. Recalling hits and misses for this year's 2024 NYE dinner had more misses than hits. First of all, the seafood food is excellent. Fresh and prepared excellently. This has been consistent. The misses included the bar and the wait staff, or maybe it was only my table that received the poor service. A $19 Martini and a $19 Old Fashion is exorbitant even for whatever inflationary forces we are all seeing today. The drinks were just okay and nowhere near the excellence I have experienced before. The seafood is excellent, and I can rave endlessly about the consistency. Unfortunately, the upgraded aged NY Strip Steak was atrociously laden with gristle and had the thickness you get from Sizzler. To add insult to injury it was sent back twice to get re-fired because the kitchen just couldn't get Medium-Rare done correctly. I gave up sending it back when it was returned and the server stood there making sure I cut into it to confirm my satisfaction. The middle was near blue and I didn't want to further spoil a special occasion over the remaining part of my steak that had two chances to get re-fired. I am a patron regularly at three of their locations, but I really need to evaluate whether they should be a viable choice for NYE.

I work in the same building, so that's how I known about the water grill, but it's still amazes me as to just how much of a destination trip. The WG is for people seemingly nightly because they always have a very strong crowd.. A slightly upscale- casual environment and ambience,, they have a nice bar to just pop-in for a drink or two with colleagues at the end of the day and of course they have a strong seafood offering on their menu. Everything we've had is quite tasty and always served very professionally by a very polite and attentive staff.

Soon as you step in you will be amazed at this place. Beautifully lit and there are more tables than you can imagine but its not a noisy place. My friends and I had an early Christmas dinner and since we are new customers we shared our food to one another so when we come in again next time we know what to order .... the same food and more choices! Their food is delicious and very tasty. The steak is really good and the Chilean Bass is a must to order. Staff are quick to assists and always smiling! I am glad my friend suggested this restaurant, I highly recommend this place ... this is around DowntownLA it is ideal to go after work! 10+ !
