Water Grill

Varied menu & best tasting seafood I’ve had! Hands down, expertly prepared. Make reservations because they are packed! And worth it. Oh and don’t be afraid to ask questions, they know their menu!

The new location offers an iced shellfish platter that serves five called “The King”: whole Channel Island sea urchin , whole lobster , whole crab , and a gathering of shrimp , oysters and clams .

Had amazing Malaspina oysters and the Alaskan Halibut ! Don't forget to have some of the Aussie Mollydooker as well . Jay was a great server, chill environment. 8/10

Great service, fantastic location (try and get a table by the open windows) and the food was excellent (but expect to pay quite a bit)

Food is sooo good.. one of the best places for seafood .. good service .. amazing view of sunset

Great restaurant ! Nice design, good location, ocean view , food is delicious. Frito Misto , owen baked black bream, great kids menu . Good selection of draught beer

Yummy & fresh seafood . Highlights: sourdough/sea salt bread , tuna poke , and Spanish octopus

The pièce de résistance: The King shellfish platter ($150), baited with oysters , scallops , clams , periwinkles, shrimp , mussels , lobster , crab and urchin . Read more

The view , our server and the James River oysters we had were amazing! The hostess and our entrees left a lot to be desired. Pretty high price tag for overcooked lobster and shrimp .

So many kind of oysters , try Naked Cowboys and Bahia Falsa. Cioppino soup then is just delicious! Seafood is FRESH. (they make Epresso)

Great service, the Alaska cod fish was very tasty. Great beer selection and wines . Great spot to watch the sunset 😉

the fish (white snapper ) is delicious.. Lobster roll is so heavy.. there isa lot of butter in the bread .. I didn’t like it 🙁

The fish specials are always great. If you're one of the rare people who don't mind bones, order it escabeche style

The side dish of Kale , Hazelnuts and Greek Yogurt is tremendous. Pair it with the Polenta side and wine for a memorable and complete meal.

So many fish choices it was hard to choose one but i scored with the MAHI MAHI . Perfect meaty white fish in delicious brown sauce . The lobster sandwich was not good, so bland no flavor.

A sibling of the famed Water Grill downtown, this does not disappoint. Lively atmosphere , fab raw bar , and beautiful views of the ocean.

very tasty mix of seafood . great service. superb view !

Great cozy place) attentive staff & super tasty food. Nice bar )

For a group of 9, we ordered the king platter and a main course each... We couldn't finish! The lobsters are huge btw

Everything is delicious and the views and staff are incredible.

Classy restaurant with well prepared seafood and wine list . Good for business meetings .

Try the Wild Heard Island Chilean Seabass .. It is perfect !!

Fabulous seafood (lobster roll and cheesecake ), great ambiance, great cocktails

Fresh oysters (Indigo), tuna poké , crab cake . All delicious.

Really good bread . Oh and the best things about the bread is it’s free. Expensive and small portion to complement. But, it’s upscale Santa Monica with the view .

Good seafood 🦞 terrace would be nice

Appetizer shellfish sampler! Crab , oyster , mussel , prawn , clam , scallop , lobster , snail! Outstanding!

Great for an oyster happy hour and wine with friends. Some celeb spotting here too.

Everything

The bread putting is the most amazing desert ever!!! Also the Chilean Butter Seabass is my favorite!

Get a table in the window for great views of the sunset

The seafood tower is great to share. Scallops FTW

Book a table by the window at sunset for the perfect view .

Salmon -sea bass - salads and calamari was perfect 👍🏻

Lobster Roll "Connecticut " style was the best Cali interpretation of a back east standard that I've had yet it LA.

The tuna poke just melts in your mouth. A good combination of textures, savory and salty.

Very good place with sea food and good choice of wine !

Nice spot with great service.

Great vegetarian items! Braised kale , crispy polenta and roasted asparagus !

More than amazing restaurant . A little bit expensive but so good!

Think we tried almost all oyster they offered today. Good Bloody Mary .

Salted caramel bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream is orgasmic! 7-7-7-7!!

Bar area is great and also serves the full menu.

Great seafood .... But also had the best chicken I've ever had. Yes, ever. Get it.

Salmon was perfect 🤩

Everything is incredible, but 20 choices of oysters is why I keep coming back.

Get a seat by the window and enjoy the unbelievable view of the Pacific.

Great service, great raw bar , very fresh! One happy customer. :)

The bread ! The Cod ! The Halibut , The Scallops , The Brocollini!

Great location overlooking ocean in Santa Monica.
