Water Grill South Coast Plaza

It is always nice to come here and the quality of the food to customer service from the moment they arrive, and the parking spaces until they go, will be the same time with the time. Keep them 5 stars, although it is sometimes difficult to catch our server, as we here at 4:45-6 pm, the highest time. the reservation in advance is highly recommended, without waiting time or perhaps less than 5 minutes, not sure whether they allow to enter. our foods were great and the caramel ice cream was the cherry top.

This seafood restaurant is very spacious and well-ventilated, with an open-view kitchen that adds to the experience. Our server, Javier, was attentive and helpful throughout our visit. The grilled octopus was tender and perfectly seasoned. The whole black bass was expertly grilled, complemented by lemon and capers. The oysters were sweet, and the uni was fresh and creamy. The Cioppino was different from what we had at a restaurant in LA, but tasty in its own right. Don’t miss the shrimp scampi and mussels with chorizo; they were outstanding. We enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the fried soft-shell crabs served with a watermelon salad. Sadly, we had no room left for dessert!

A 5 star for food and service. This place is impressive. Once you go to the restaurant, you will be handed over by a beautiful waiting area with beautiful decorations and a seafood bar with all kinds of shells seafood. I know I came to the right place for some seafood when I saw the king crabfish tank. The receptionist was very nice and let us sit right away. We have a cozy stand for the evening. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. With their recommendations we had crabcakes and a dozen raw scallops to start our evening. They were both terrible and fresh. Scallops were so delicious with fresh lime juice and other sauce. Our main consisted of a Mexican white cod and black cod with Broccolini. I loved the black cod with the delicate and fluffy meat structure. The sauce accompanied with the fish was very tasty with some Vinaiigrette taste, a perfect addition to the fish. On the other hand, the texture of the white cable was somewhat hard. I was surprised when I expected a soft and delicate meat. Overall the evening went fabulous where we enjoyed the food and the dining room. It was a perfect prelude for our wide show in the evening. Valet parking was the only option, but you can always park in the shopping center and go to the restaurant for free.

Had a nice lunch on Monday. Overall, it is a wonderful place with a fantastic seafood menu and fast, attentive service. we ordered several appetizers and one escape. the following photos show the shared parts for the clam chowder and cioppino, which they did helpful for us without asking us. as they can see, the divided parts are also quite violent! highlights: saw, tasteful clam chowder served with muddles in the dishes. the suppe came out hot, which was also perfect in warm summer weather. additional sourdough bread with butter. we asked for a second portion because it was so good! it was soft and damp in the inner with a salty, crisp, buttery crust above. great, but not blow her her spirit amazing: bluefin toro tartare was a fun build her own temaki that came with spiced nori, sushi rice and toro. it was a fun and tasty appetizer. cioppino came with a healthy part of dungeness krabbe, among others meeress fruit. very good, but nothing particularly amazing to be honest? was better: I wanted to love the mac and cheese. visually it looked amazing and had some nice broiled cheese up. they could taste the cheese, but somehow it lacked taste despite. the noodles were nicely cooked al dente but what was great. we ordered a dozen oysters. we had a beautiful series of oysters and they were usually in order. somehow did they not seem as fresh/flavorful as others we? ve had somewhere else, but that could be us. Don't get us wrong, it was still quite delicious. a solid bet for a beautiful meal. would recommend any seafood lover or people who want to sit in a beautiful indoor space that feels like they still in the free!

The decor and ambience of the Water Grill is breath taking. The rooms have a welcoming and stylish feel with comfortable seating. The lights, bars, and the aquariums filled with fresh fish and lobster have an east coast feel. The food is delicious from the chowder, to salad, to appetizers and the main dish it?s all delicious. The service is excellent. I?d highly recommend this for any events or a fun family and friends outing.
