It took 3 tries to get a wine that was on the wine list that was actually available. They tried to make amends by giving us a complementary glass of wine that wasn't very good. Service was fine, other than not getting our wine until after the food was served, but the food was just okay. Two of our group... More

This used to be the premier downtown restaurant when Michael Cimarusti used to run the kitchen. We've been back more than five times since he left and it just keeps getting worse. Left the restaurant tonight after hosting close friends and I was almost embarrassed. Started with our salads, which were no better than average. The servers couldn't figure who... More

Had an early dinner with my partner over Memorial Day weekend. We ordered halibut, served on a bed of cannellini beans with small bits of chorizo. The fish was perfectly cooked and quite tasty. The beans were, frankly, tough. When I mentioned this to the server, she replied that cannellini beans are supposed to be eaten "al dente." Having eaten... More

They had a great selection of oysters, and our server made great recommendations. Our favorite of the three different types in our sampler was... More

We had almost everything on the menu, and everything was delicious. It's a pretty safe menu, so you can't go wrong. Sea bass, cod, tuna, appetizers, all great. Try the toast with ricotta.

My recommendations: The Oyster Sampler...12 Oysters from all over. Fresh, briny and delicious! My favorite are the ones from Nova Scotia. Have this with a Grey Goose martini. We each ordered a dish and shared..The... More

I would have given Water Grill 3+ stars if it was an option. Food quality pushed it to the "very good" category. I had three different business related meals there in the past few months. Service was a bit spotty, but the food was always tasty. Fresh seafood was very well-prepared, sometimes the entrees get a bit too complicated, i.e.... More

Went here for a business lunch food was amazing and service was great. Lots of fresh fish and great wine selection. Highly recommend this place for lunch

The mahi mahi was amazing! The salad and mashed potatoes were large, sized to split with another person. This was a great restaurant to end our stay in Los Angeles. I would recommend, without hesitation!
