   Water Grill always good! Service at the bar really good and pleasant service Crab cake needs some work, a bit hockey puckish and lacks flavor

   We had wonderful time. The crab legs were spectacular but the service was excellent also. We will definitely be back. Everything was great.

   Food and service was good, however the noise was a bit to much. It was difficult to have a conversation across the table.

   Fantastic dining experience at the Water Grill. Table of 8 (business dinner) and all the main dishes were absolutely delicious. My only criticism could be the Brussels sprouts, which to my taste were bland and al dente… but literally EVERYTHING else was off the hook: spiny lobster, Dover sole, Chilean sea bass; I even got a couple of lobster rolls as appetizers which were huge hits (along with crispy calamari & fantastic crab cakes). Truly a culinary delight - and I’m not usually this verbose in reviews. Our waiter Joey, brought incredible service & charm to our table. Perhaps they’re all just that good - but I can speak for him and his sidekick (Daniel?). Highly recommend. I’ll be back.

   Sat at table for 20 minutes then had to ask for a waiter. Waiter didn’t even have our table but waited on us anyway. He was great but before that, waiter after waiter just walked by our table (for 2) and never said a word to us or acknowledged that we even existed.

   The food was not worth the price. Paying for the " experience".

   Went here for Mother’s Day with the family. Food was incredible, as usual. Our server was fantastic. A great experience! Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in all of San Diego.
