   Water Grill has a long history as a superior seafood restaurant in San Diego. Unfortunately, it is no longer excellent. I had the Shrimp Louie Salad, and it was awful. Dry tasteless shrimp. We also had a collection of 6 oysters, but they were not at all fresh tasting or plump. My dining companion had the swordfish, which was just average. The highlight of the meal was the sour dough roll.

   This was our first time dining at Water Grill, and we had a great experience. I have some severe food allergies, which is always anxiety-inducing when dining in restaurants. Our server was very mindful and communicative about my needs with the kitchen and chef, and I was able to enjoy a delicious meal with no issues. Everything about our nice, long meal was great!

   The waitress could not explain the items on the menu. The Dungeness crab was mushy and inedible. The noise level was so loud I had to use earplugs! The service was slow and we had to wait 20 minutes for our check. The Cioppino, however, was good.

   The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh and seasoned so perfectly you didn’t need to use the salt & pepper on the table. The honeymoon oyster was so fabulous we ordered another round. The service was impeccable, our waiter made great suggestions when we were undecided. We’ll definitely be back, had such a wonderful time!
