This place was so good, we went back the next day for more food! The atmosphere is really nice but at the same time, you can show up in casual clothes and not feel like they're judging you. I preferred sitting more on the inside of the restaurant as opposed to the area facing the shopping area. We sat in the latter area for our first visit, which wasn't bad but with so many people passing by, it just didn't have that privacy to eat in peace. Again, not a terrible area to be seated but being able to dine in the inside of the restaurant the next evening was a much better feel. It's a bit dark though because of the dim, ambient lighting so it's great for a date. The servers were fantastic, personable, and knowledgeable. Great about making recommendations and helping us decide what to order. We had the oyster sampler, which was a dozen oysters: 6 from the Pacific and 6 from the east coast. Omg, i can't tell you how delicious those oysters were! We also got the salmon (incredible) and the halibut (excellent). Large portions and the bread with sea salt was very tasty. I had a glass of the rose and it was top notch. It's one of those places where you feel good paying a higher price because you're getting the quality you expect from both the food and the service.

Water grill always has great service and delicious food. I’ve been many times and they never disappoint. From the oysters to the sushi to the entrees, it’s all good. They allow you to hold a king crab too even if you don’t buy one for the table. We did though and it was scrumptious. Scary but thrilling experience holding such a huge crab lol. They always have tasty seasonal dishes that keeps things interesting.
