Great place and service! Our waiter Matt was awesome! We definitely recommend this place.
We went for you Birthday earlier this year and it was wonderful! We knew we had to bring my Dad. We had the King seafood platter and the Poke appetizer! It was a wonder time with even better food. Our sever Bob was not only knowledgeable but entertaining as well! I recommend this restaurant for True seafood lovers!!!
This is a great place to dine and get away from the fast food restaurant near the San diego Convention Center.
It's not cheap and you need to be to spend some money without second guessing your budget.
Lots of seating and well lit. Big bar and very clean. Easy menu if you know what you want.
Good portions. However, it's not a big feast. Enough to get you full, though.
Well decorated, and you will go back
Highly recommended
A sophisticated yet rustic seafood restaurant with a wide assortment of menu options. I ordered the fish n chips and got a small but filling portion served on a platter with a lemon, ketchup and some creamy tartar sauce. The food was good but the setting was definitely the highlight with high ceilings and booths with great views out of the floor to ceiling windows. Well worth a try while in San Diego!
Wow! The food was amazing! I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was great, solid 9/10. My husband had the New York strip (who gets steak at a seafood restaurant, right?) and I didn’t expect it to be be prepared so well, easily a 9.5/10. We received complimentary desert to-go (we were already beyond full from the meal). The music choices were top notch with a blend of new and classic hits, but not too loud to bother anyone from enjoying their meal at a normal volume. The place is a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for because they do not disappoint.
All of the food was very good and had a great presentation on all fronts. The Halibut had roasted corn on a bed with chilies that complicated the Halibut really well. Only reason I did not give 5 stars was the entire draft beer selection ( which is rather large ) was not working. The hostess should have told my party that before we sat down and got situated. Also they had a fantastic warm bread with creamy butter, however after a few pieces we wanted to order more, but the restaurant ran out of it. And they ran out of something else we asked about. Not a huge deal, but not worthy of 5 stars because of these issues.
There were a couple missed drink orders but we were a big group to be fair. Service people would come by often enough. Food was cooked well. Atmosphere was good but could tell it'd get better as the night went on (we left just after 8pm as a group).
We had a great dinner here. They offer a variety of oysters and other fresh seafood. I had the cioppino and my husband had the Alaskan Sea Bass. Both were delicious although I think the cioppino was better.
I will also say that the wait staff were excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive.
The Water Grill is a favorite spot to hit up before catching a Padres game! We love their selection of beverages and the variety of east coast and west coast oysters! The presentation is exquisite and the service is impeccable. I have loved EVERY meal I ever selected. The octopus was delicious. The clams in chorizo broth wonderful. Even their sourdough bread rolls and butter is magnificent. MOn two occasions, my partner got the fish tacos. Each time he said they were lacking for him. They needed seasoning and/or a heartier sauce.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere!
Been to Water Grill a few times now, this was my first stopping into this location. By far my favorite one yet. Nothing but great things to say, and definitely worth the stop if your in downtown San Diego… you won’t be disappointed!
The atmosphere is beautiful and the food is Delicious! I ordered the grilled organic chicken and it was the most tender and tasty grilled chicken! Their mashed potatoes are fantastic! Customer service is great!
Went there for Thanksgiving dinner. We were in town prior to taking a cruise. This place was hopping. Despite the large crowds, the service and food was outstanding.
