Delicious Dungeness crab and wedge salad with a crisp Sancerre made for a wonderful lunch. The fish and chips were perfectly prepared and delicious. Oysters were superb. Our favorite place downtown for scrumptious seafood!

Water Grill has always been a great lunch location for me. 2 people for $83 before tax is steep for sure. Service and food is great, just the price point is a bit excessive.

Exceptional seafood quality, flawless preparation with creative and delicious accompaniments. Royalty level service at your table and a distinguished yet mellow ambiance in the room. The servings aren’t tiny, but they’re also not huge so order an appetizer and a salad to go with your entrée and if you’re like me, you’ll be very very happy. Valet parking is super convenient and very affordable- don’t forget to get validated.

The fish tasted like tires and gasoline and the scallops had no flavor at all. We’ve been to several Water Grills and this was the first time we did t enjoy the experience. LA Water Grill, you can do so much better…
