Water Grill San Diego - San Diego (CA)

4 /5 Venkata K: Giving 3 stars for food since food wise felt they could have done bit more.. Octopus or the calamari were tiny bit over done.. they were 25% rubbery.. steamed red king crabs were well done. We enjoyed them. Totally recommend this for anyone looking to have hot steamed crabs option. Fyi, they also have chilled crabs option on menu as wel. Totally recommend this place. It could be timing issue to what we experienced with appetizers. May be it’s better for some others.

5 /5 Salim Ali Khan: Water Grill delivered a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. We were greeted by warm hosts and seated promptly, which set the tone for a great evening. Bob deserves a special shoutout for being an exceptional host. He spent time with us answering our questions, explaining ingredients (like the difference between spiny lobster and Maine lobster), and helped us make great choices for our dinner. He never once made us feel rushed, always attentive, always kind, and truly made us feel at home. The meal began with their homemade bread and butter, which was easily the best complimentary bread and butter we’ve ever had, so good that we asked for more, even though the initial portion was already generous for two. We ordered: Calamari with mint maploy sauce, pepper, and aioli Spiny lobster served with coleslaw and melted butter Lobster( served with Maine lobster ( tail and claw meat) roll on a brioche bun with butter dressing, served with fries Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We ended the meal with the key lime pie. The filling was enjoyable, though we felt the oatmeal crust could have been even better with something like a graham cracker crust. It was also wonderful to see how cheerful and attentive the entire staff was across the dining room, lots of smiles, positive energy, and never a dull moment. Overall, a fantastic experience, elevated even further by Bob’s outstanding hospitality. We would absolutely return

4 /5 Jeremy Johnson: Great restaurant and cool place to have drinks for sure! We started with margaritas on the rocks and ahi poke,( drinks 9 poke 10).. delicious with the chips cant go wrong.... The bread and butter.... (10).... for the main course we shared a Filet and lobster.... The filet cooked medium to the wifes liking came out medium rare and that was disappointing. (Steak 6). As for the lobster it was good but not $100 good..( lobster 6). Did I go wrong ordering a steak at a restaurant that specializes in seafood.... idk.... the sides were mashed potatoes (7) and mac n cheese however the mac never made it to the table? I can tell you that I wouldnt go back if I wanted a good steak especially with a bill over $300 and we shared the main course. The search continues for the best in San Diego!

5 /5 Harry Higgins: Every visit here is a wonderful experience thanks to the consistently great food and attentive service. The restaurant has a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, and the second floor adds a nice touch to the overall vibe. Their oysters are absolutely delicious and always feel fresh. Being located downtown, parking can be a bit challenging, but the quality of the experience more than makes up for it. Highly recommended.
