- TTonyVIPChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined todayI told everyone in the restaurant I was not going to post because I didn’t want anyone else to know how good this place is. It’s unbelievably good. The food is fantastic. The portions are generous. The prices are staggeringly good. Go but don’t tell anyone else.  We looked at the menu and decided what we thought would be good and then we asked the waiter and we hit the jackpot. The black and red rice is like paella. It’s wonderful. The shaky shaky beef is fantastic. The dumplings are fantastic. The beef tartar was fantastic. Thank God we didn’t order anything else or we’d still be rolling down the street.

- RRaymondOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI flew in from Arcata for dinner reservations for Valentine with the Mrs. We are staying at the Westin next door. Easy walk to WG. The hostess was amazing, we were seated within 5 min of our rezo and near the Jazz musician. Our waiter was Brandon, amazing experience! We had spent Valentines 2024 WG at oyster bar. This evening rather than order off the menu we wanted to try the 4 course. I don’t have a lot of experience in fine dining and 4 courses with wine pairing. Brandon was very helpful with sharing how the menu would be served this evening. The Mrs she’s used to fine dining but for an island boy from Samoa it was a new experience for me. Amazing experience and for those who may have not experienced fine dining 4 course with wine pairing just ask the your wait person for help. I’m never afraid to ask if I do not know. The fork thing, the many utensils, the different glasses, etc 😂 Definitely will plan a dinner outing for the entire family, 12 total, this summer when I’m back in town. Salute and Respects to Brandon, and the entire WG team. The Jazz musician was 🔥🔥🔥More infoWater Grill - South Coast PlazaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Costa Mesa•4.8
- KKathyOrange County •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur female server was very pleasant and brought food so that we didn't feel rushed. We haven't been to this restaurant in a long time and will return. The food was excellent and served hot despite the huge crowd outside in the lobby as it was Valentines Day. We had the valentines surf and turf with salad and sides of mac and cheese and au gratin potatoes - everything including the extra large shrimp cocktail appetizer was tasty!More infoBlack Angus Steakhouse - Fountain ValleyPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Fountain Valley•4.5
