    Always a solid place. Never had a bad meal and they know how to make a drink. Wish they had valet out front, but it doesn’t stop me from visiting.

    I’ve been to Water Grill several times and always loved it, but tonight changed my opinion. They served my wife and daughter oysters that they forgot to clean so there was dirt/sand/barnacles on them, and they served me raw chicken. When I showed it to the waiter he didn’t seem to care (“I’ll let the kitchen know.”) and took no action, which was surprising to me. I’m not one to make a fuss so I let it slide and still tipped well. Within 30 minutes of leaving I was very unwell. Maybe just a bad night with the wrong kitchen and wait staff?

    The waiter Jordan made the day for me. He was attentive, warm, knowledgeable on the dishes, all smiles. He was top notch. Thank you Jordan

    We had a business lunch here and it was fantastic. The service and food was very impressive. We share some oysters that were meaty and wonderful. We will definitely be back!

    What a beautiful menu and options for Denver for a seafood restaurant. Everything was first quality that you might expect on one of the coasts. Matt was a great way thank you for everything.
