Gravitate towards the raw bar at this seafood sanctuary. "Prepared in all manner of colourful ways – such as mint bass ceviche , or big-eye tuna with pomegranate couscous ." -Rough Guide on TripExpert Read more

Premier seafood served in a recently renovated, modernized space. There's a raw bar , a tank with live ocean creatures, but do remember fresh fish will cost you. [Eater 38 Member]

Crab cakes are phenomenal and the mussels also! Even the sauce that is from the mussels is worth eating with their bread soggy with the sauce which is sooo good ! Always a delight.

The oysters and raw crudo were absolutely amazing. Service was also amazing and try the bartender’s special, Cider Lowball.

I had the most INCREDIBLE meal service at The Water Grill. Request Shane as your server. He is friendly , helpful & on the ball. No request is too great & he does it w/a smile! Oh - the food is DIVINE

Pretty much everything we ordered was amazing (minus the stinky cheese platter ...)! I still dream about the red velvet pudding ! I'd be willing to trade my surgically removed left foot for the recipe.

Sharon Morrissette

I ate the fish taco and almost fell from my seat. Fantabulous! And they have a healthy selection of Turley zinfandels ...giant bonus!

Mark Strong

Fantastic Oysters and crab . Order a dozen raw and let them pick the varieties you get. It is a great experience to try all the different flavors that come come out of an oyster shell.

Jeffrey Payatt

Seafood tower and Caramel Bread Pudding are amazing!

Marco Marano

Excellent service and old school decor....try the Chilean Sea Bass it's fresh and meaty. Also the Cherrystone Clams melt like butter. Fish and chips is also tasty especially if you are at the bar .

Andrew Cooke

Swordfish and Seafood Fritters are excellent!

Doris Neubauer

Crab cakes are really good for an appetizer . Swordfish for entree is great. The desserts are too sweet as a final note so go with a tawny.

Master Tech

The oster sampler was very good, along with the sea scallops both are worth trying.
