Best Seafood Restaurants in Irwindale

Fun dinner we were in the patio area where it was nice and toasty. Food was great, service was pretty quick tonight. All in all a great time!

We went to celebrate my girlfriends birthday on Christmas Day. I had made reservations in advance and asked for a romantic table for two seated next to each other. It was quite busy and we were twenty minutes early. The host told us that our table would be ready at our reservation time so we went to wait at the bar. The staff was extremely helpful and kind even though it was very busy. The host came and took us to our table right on time. I couldn’t have been happier a private table that sat four so we were able to sit next to each other. Our server Tyler was exceptional!!! He knew the menu well and answered all of our questions. We started off with the Kumiai oysters, delicious. We enjoyed our wine and warm bread and butter. For our entrees we each had the 8oz. Filet Mignon and added the Australian Lobster tail. Everything was cooked to perfection. Then Tyler brought my girlfriend a delicious dessert on the house for her birthday. We enjoyed our celebration and couldn’t have been happier.

Since 1990 when I enjoyed my first dinner at WaterGrill during intermission the Pulitzer Prize winning Premiere production of Angels in America to my 50th Birthday dinner in 2016 till 2024 Christmas Eve; WaterGrill is an ever green of fine food, drink excellent atmosphere and great service.

Rately do I post a glowing review of restaurants, but @nikuxla will be getting one. From host, server (thank you, Wilson), to details: A+ King crab 🦀 legs were so fresh, that when you pulled the shell from on end, the crab meat slides off the shell of the other. We were most impressed by the Wagyu Udon, which had the exact Al Dente texture and taste, with the coated level of wagyu meat sauce around the veggies, noodles, and overall. Serving was correct for 2 people per order. Would have loved to have tried the fresh scallops (which were not available upon our visit). But the lobsters were adequate to adjust our attention, along with the King crab and Snow crab legs. Sashimi was constantly being topped off, and the ponzu and soy were good quality. The toro and hamachi were good quality cuts, and not veiny. Wagyu Japan and American options were a variety of 5 different choices. We were impressed with the quality. We also tried the Chilean sea bass (not hugely impressed), the Miso Corn (very good), Wagyu Black Pepper Don (average), but our Lamb Lollipop Katsu was our chef cooked favorite. Wilson was excellent. He provided us with a special cheesecake that was not available to the public, and we will definitely return for this reason. Thank you. Overall for the $99 price tag, we would consider returning. Our experience was the day before Xmas. I specifically requested a table with a grill, and was provided exactly the table. Would not ask for more. We will return. Thank you again.

I really enjoyed the duck and the dim sum is YUMMY!
