Not surprisingly, Water Grill specializes in seafood. Not just any old seafood but dazzling and inventive seafood. You’ll find no breaded clam strips here. Instead, the ever-changing menu explodes with an imaginative medley of mouth-watering creations culled from the deep sea and fresh water alike. The entrée names read like food poetry. Dungeness crab cakes with harissa, herbed cous cous and... more

Harrods of raw bars. Flying fish—everything is flown in fresh daily from around nation. Handsome woods and marble pillars, but less Six Feet Under than that all sounds. Start with champagne and divine oysters. Follow with creamy bacon chowder and seared bluefin. Select from any number of modestly portioned fish or lobster dishes.

Tasteless food, not enough on plate, service under par, reputation and quality is below average. Lobster tasted like cardboard, fish tasted too fishy

The Water grill has the best seafood in Los Angeles . A bit on the pricey side. They also have a wonderful selection of martinis. Great ambiance and friendly staff.
