    Really enjoyed our experience celebrating a family birthday. Service was top notch. Denise is superb. Ask to be seated in her section. Food was excellent. Desert was fabulous! I will return many times.

    We love Water Grill. We have been to many of the restaurants and other cities. You can’t go wrong. Our server was Carlos. He was outstanding! Very personable! We ordered everything from bread to oysters to clam chowder, our main meal and dessert. He was right on with each order. The food was delicious. We also had a bottle of wine and cocktails. Great night with friends!
