    The food was fenomenal! I am Mexican and cook some of these dishes, so, I'm picky. The flautas were better than mine and the sauce!!! It's expensive, but if you go during happy hour, it's an amazing value.

    Shannon, our server, was both accommodating and a good server. Most of us ordered the happy hour food appetizers. Mussels, calamari, chicken potstickers yum! The food was brought out promptly and was warm and tasty. The servings were adequately portioned. I had one drink and a couple of the appetizers and was totally sated. The setting is idyllic. We sat outside which was shaded and comfortable. GREAT SAN DIEGO SPOT.

    We always have a great time at the Water Grill. We frequent several of their locations and all are great. We enjoy the San Diego location as we can walk there from home. Our meal was great. We started with the crab nuggets and scallops on the half shell. After that we both had the Chilean sea bass. All of the food was delicious. The service was great. We had a nice bottle of wine with our meal. We highly recommend Water Grill.
