I had one of the best steak here. Perfectly cooked. Melts in your mouth. The staff was so attentive. It is expensive but worth it.
I went the two days I was in LA. Tuesday evening, Julian at the bar was Phenomenal. I started with the fried octopus which was really good, tough texture, but accompanied well with a delicious sauce. I then had the halibut and also some Lobster. Halibut was a nice portion and pretty tasty. The lobster was amazing. The next day I stopped by for lunch and started with the frito misto, which is a must try! And then ordered the Swordfish which was amazing. Crisp on the edges and just so tasty! Recommend trying the firestone walker on draft if you are into beer! Thanks again for the rest experience. I will be back when I am back in town for sure!
The manager was lovely and made some great recommendations.
But I was very impressed with the level of great service from our waiter Carlos. He was on the ball the entire evening and made sure everything went perfectly smooth from start to finish. Genuinely good service by someone who has perfected his trade.
The ambiance is also great here.
The menu is delightful for seafood lovers, and we indulged in some lobster, crab, and a selection of oysters and other things.
Everything was done perfectly and tasted delicious.
I also had a steak (who doesn't love a little surf and turf) and they do them perfectly as well! (Oh and don't sleep on the chimichurri) overall a 10/10 experience. We would definitely return.
Wow, What an experience! If your looking at reviews to see if it is worth a try... look no further. Normally I would not call eating at a restaurant an "experience", but this was extraordinary. Chris, our server, introduced us to the most amazing oysters we have ever had. I tried them a few times in the past (other restaurants) with no delight ... but these, Wow! We also had the clams which were just as fabulous. The broth was delicious. Our main meals were the Chilean sea bass and a Lobster. Everything was fantastic! And we could not have had better service.
Even if you go for a few appetizers - go for it!!!!
Every single aspect of our visit was exceptional! Champagne was icy cold and bubbly! Salads were "tossed" not doused! Fish expertly prepared. All sides were excellent. AC worked great. SERVICE WAS PERFECT. One member of our party has severe food allergies and our server took them very seriously! Not enough room for dessert but I would bet it was perfect too!
The water grill specializes in seafood, including sushi, oysters and several types of shellfish. I had the tuna poke to start and it was perhaps one of the best over had. Very large portion compared to other places. Would have been enough for a main for me. I then followed it up with the King salmon roll served with an incredible soy lime vinaigrette. This was very different and a welcomed difference. I didn’t have dessert as I was stuffed. They start you off with a sourdough bun topped with sea salt. This was again very good. I will definitely go here again.
We liked the food, presentation, quality and the taste. We ordered different fish dishes / black cod, sea bass, salmon/ carrots, sprouts, puree.
Our server Flavio was very sweet.
Ambiance was nice. I love that open kitchen concept.
Absolutely recommended restaurant.
Water Grill is Classy and Romantic. Dim lighting, comfortable seating and smells that will entice your taste buds. I allowed my waiter to choose the two best dinner entrées the restaurant had to offer. Jared (my waiter) did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing food and totally worth the price. I can’t wait to go back.

The Water Grill is a great place for me, it is right across the street from the hotel I have been staying at while traveling. Heading to LA for work, you get in, your tired and you want a good solid meal, you can get that at the water grill.
The atmosphere is upscale causal, the cocktails have the right balance - however I wish the beer menu was more expansive - Coors light? - with so many breweries around offer craft local selections.
I find the selections to be a great mix of seafood and turf based varietals. Having sampled both I can affirm that the culinary team has their A game on - my new favorite is the scampi with papardelle - explosive flavor, perfect amount of garlic and a generous portion. Server staff, is friendly, attentive without being intrusive - Kelly made our dinner even better with Her professionalism and care to ensure the diner had want they wanted and needed.
One note however, being their with a friend out of Boston, the chowder needs work - hey he's from Beantown, tough crowd.
Stop in, try it out I haven't been disappointed yet. Price is commensurate for the area in town, but you get what you pay for - here it is worth every penny.
Wonderful place to have a timeless, classy, seafood centric, meal. I love the service, seafood, and drinks here. Valet is the easiest way to park, as the restaurant is located at the retail space of an office building ( water grill does provide some validation) . Thanks for the wonderful seafood and service.
The Water Grill is one of the best restaurant in LA. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive. the seafood was incredibly fresh. Highly recommend.
The Water Grill in DTLA is gorgeous.
Everything I was served was delectable and perfectly seasoned.
Emerson, our waiter, provided excellent service. He made our night memorable.
