    Very good as usual. Had the fixed price New Years Eve menu with wine pairings. Also NE lobster with oysters! Best in Denver, although pretty $$$, but worth it .

    Always, always, always our go-to for special occasions. The menu was a terrific variety of everything Water Grill does well. Our server was incredibly attentive and accommodating. We were able to introduce our daughter and her boyfriend on this visit, and I think you will have two more regular guests from now on. Thank you!

    Our first time at the Denver location and it was delicious. We had the poke, spiny lobster and black cod. Everything was amazing and flavorful. Cocktails were also delicious! Will definitely be back!

    While the entree, sea bass was very good the appetizer, oysters Rockefeller was average. Service was very slow, long wait time between appetizers, salad, entree. Refills of water happened only twice in about an hour and a half to two hours.

    This place is well worth the hefty price tag. If you’re looking for a place to treat yourself, this is the spot. Everything was amazing!

    Food was excellent! However, for a price point like this the service was nothing to write home about. It was not busy and bar service was very slow. Sat several times with dirty plates in front of me when the server walked by with empty hands. Just not the experience I expected especially when it wasn’t busy.
