The chowder fries were delicious! The happy hour prices were very reasonable. We ordered drinks and multiple happy hour food items and were very satisfied. I will definitely be back when in San Diego!

I must say the food is fresh, but the prices are completely ridiculous for what you get…read more I ordered two swordfish salads, one swordfish sandwich, and one bowl which was basically a cup of their seafood soup for $13 which was four bites for $95, Now let me explain, the pieces of fish looks like they're giving you a lot, but it's maybe 6 ounces that they pound out to the thickness of a piece of paper. So basically, two plates full of salad with five dollars worth of lettuce on either each and five dollars worth of a flat piece of fish for $50. Absurd. What they are charging for fish and what they give you is a total joke don't waste your money.. Will not be coming back here ever. I'm not sure why people come here, but you're paying retail on retail for their fish prices are out of control. They have Faroe island Salman for $28 a pound. I can buy the exact same Salman for $10 a pound. I understand the need to make a profit, but what they are charging for fish is a joke and how much they don't give you.

I didn't take pictures because I was too busy inhaling everything. Ceviche verde had the perfect amount of spiciness and shrimp, I was only upset that my chips kept breaking while I was trying to devour (enjoy) it. Lobster bisque chefs kiss, one of the best I've had. Seafood fettuccine, was well worth it! They jam packed it with the seafood instead of being stingy. Key lime pie for dessert I had to take to go because I was trying to be ladylike after eating all the other food. First time here coming from Vegas and I'm glad I chose C Level for my birthday dinner. Thank you to Avery and my waiter who took over. Thank you to who I think was the manager with red hair who came over and even the hostess who gave me the best indoor seat view! Everyone made me feel very special

I've been to Water Grill a couple of times now, and this place continues to deliver every time…read more There's something about it that just feels consistently good--from the food and service to the overall atmosphere. The seafood is always fresh, which is really what you want from a place like this. Their oysters and raw bar are definitely worth checking out, and you can tell they take the quality of their seafood seriously. Even the warm bread and butter is something people rave about, and honestly, I can see why. Service has also been great every time I've been here. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful without being overbearing. They're good at making recommendations and giving you time to enjoy your meal without making you feel rushed. The vibe is another big reason I like coming here. It has that upscale but still lively atmosphere where you can dress up for a nice dinner but it doesn't feel overly formal or stuffy. It can get busy and energetic, especially later in the evening, which actually works perfectly for the Gaslamp vibe. And speaking of location, you really can't beat it. It's right in the heart of the Gaslamp, so it's a perfect stop before heading out for some nightlife shenanigans. Grab some seafood, have a cocktail or glass of wine, enjoy the atmosphere, and you're already right in the middle of everything afterward. Whether it's a date night, dinner with friends, or just looking for a nice seafood spot downtown, Water Grill has been a pretty reliable choice for me. Good seafood, great service, great atmosphere, and an even better location. Definitely one of those places I don't mind coming back to.

We look forward to coming back and seeing Ollie again!

We heard the seagulls may be an issue when choosing to eat outside, but personally, we had no problems. For the quality, the prices are absolutely reasonable. My only weak find was the Caesar salad dressing -- I found it a bit watery and less salty than most by-the-shore Caesar's.

One of the biggest highlights for us was the lobster, which is available on Thursdays only. They also had chilled snow crab legs and cold lobster claws, which was a nice surprise and definitely made the buffet feel like a great value for the price. Aside from the seafood, they had a huge selection of the usual buffet favorites, including sushi, shrimp, different hot dishes, sides, desserts, and so many other choices that it would be impossible to list everything. There was definitely something for everyone, and we had no problem finding plenty of things we enjoyed. The food selection was good, there were plenty of seafood options, and we felt like we definitely got our money's worth. If you're a seafood lover, I would recommend checking them out on a Thursday so you can take advantage of the lobster. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience. For the price, variety, and amount of seafood offered, we would definitely come back and eat here again!

We thought that coming for lunch on Saturday right call when it opened at 12 PM was the good call,…read morebut it was not quite on the mark. Roast duck was overcooked with a bad acrid smell, and it didn't have that oily crispy layer that you normally would get when it is fresh. All the dim sum looked like it was sitting in the steamers for a while, crab legs were overcooked so it came apart mushy instead of flaky. What happened? I'm guessing that they made all the food early in preparation for opening, but all of food tasted like it sat out for hours. The things that turned out fine, were the oysters, sushi and sashimi, and the prime rib that turned out to be rare.

I jumped on Yelp and found Pete's Seafood and Sandwich close by, so we made a beeline to get there. We had dinner sitting at the bar and had a great experience. There is plenty of inside and outside seating, but we really enjoyed sitting at the bar. The food was prepared fresh, the service was good and the pricing was reasonable. Parking is a bit tough to deal with although they do have a small lot you can walk around to in the back. If we're ever in the area again we'd stop back in to try other menu items.

We arrived to lots of parking and were greeted instantly. Our server was so funny and extremely attentive. He got drinks out to us in a timely fashion even with the number of other tables and guests. The food came out and was perfectly plated and we all tucked heartily into our entrees. My only complaint was the potatoes in the August entree of the month the sea bass were undercooked. The flavour and the cook on the sea bass were exquisite. They brought out a delicious birthday brownie topped with ice cream and sprinkles that all 12 of us sampled. Mom had a wonderful birthday celebration so I'm happy. Thank you, Tom's, for making the evening special!
