I was craving a super dank fillet of fish and ended up being very satisfied with my choice of Water Grill. Joe provided excellent service and informed me about the different types of fish on the menu. I decided that the Sea Bass would best suit my taste. However, I started with a side of Broccolini and Chinese Sausage. It was good, with the best part being the sauce. After finishing the dish, I also finished the remainder of my bread by dipping it in said sauce. So good. My main dish, a thoroughly buttered and super tender sea bass, was absolutely delicious! I don't like eating huge meals, and this all was enough to make me completely full without any excess to take home. Perfect. I'll be returning. Thanks again for the Asian travel tips, Joe!

I really enjoyed my meal here. Everything was delicious and the open windows with the ocean so close makes for a great atmosphere. I really loved the calamari, the seasoning is 10/10. Our waitress (I think Nicole?) was really sweet and attentive. Lots of parking lots nearby. They take reservations.

Had a fantastic dining experience at Water Grill! The service was outstanding—our server Melissa was truly exceptional: friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. A special touch that really stood out was when my wife mentioned she was feeling cold, and Melissa brought over a blanket for her. That level of thoughtfulness really made our night. The food was equally impressive. The Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked—tender, flaky, and full of flavor. The New Zealand salmon was another standout, with a rich taste and beautifully crisped skin. Both dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and artfully presented. Highly recommend Water Grill for top-quality seafood and above-and-beyond service. We’ll definitely be back!

"Dining at the Water Grill was a truly memorable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and warm and tasteful decor. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal.We started with the Calamari which was beautifully prepared and incredibly flavorful. For our entrees, I opted for the Shrimp Scampi and my son had the Lobster Role the dishes were expertly cooked and presented, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a unique blend of flavors. Overall a very amazing dining experience.
