    Everything was just toooo good! We got shrimp po boy, then a few of the big packages that basically included everything and THEN a crab boil bag thingie with their sauce ( garlic and lemon pepper mix) no pictures . Sorry it was too many people, dirty hands mouths and fat stomachs. Ordering was a breeze. We went in made our order AND THEY GAVE US ACCURATE TIMING ON EACH ORDER. ( we had 3 individual orders) we sat outside and came back when our time was up. Well oiled machine. They did NOT miss a beat. Family owned and I loved the family members stopping by. Very courteous and we had no issues with anything.

    When you're craving seafood and you live in LA, hands-down this Black Owned and Operated establishment is literally everything when it comes to seafood. I had a craving for crab legs but I wanted some different so I tried fried crab legs along with the fries shrimp, the waffle fries, the amazing greens, that will make you slap somebody for being so good! I am a very picky eater, and I could honestly say this for the top quality flavorful it was hot and fresh when I picked it up and the staff was excellent! I stepped outside of my boundaries and tried something new and now I have a new favorite it will definitely be recommending and coming back soon.

    I had lunch here (2-20-2020) from 1:30-3pm. Staff: They smile, they greet you, they're happy to see you and you can feel the genuine love from everyone as soon as you enter the door. Service: 5-star.. they treat you like family. Bringing out refills before you even know you'll need one. Checking in to make sure the food was tasty and hot. For my first time, I felt like a regular. Food: Delicious and pretty. It was hard not to eat "messy" because everything was just sooooo full of flavor. I'll be back. I've told all of my friends and I am telling everyone of you... GO!!! You'll feel like you're at home.

    I ordered the 2pc BREAST STRIPS & fries combo along with a side of greens, a side of rice & vanilla cranberry cookies via postmates.... instead, the restaurant decided so give me 2 sides of rice & 2 extra pieces of chicken. The problem with that is: a.) They gave me fried WINGETTES that are of cheap ass quality, with that thick ass fatty stuff under the skin & the broken bones of the "flat" when I was trying to pull it apart figure out what it was. b.) I'm not a fan of chicken on the bone c.) I hate when I order online & the restaurant decides to substitute something I order. I ordered what I ordered for a reason. I rather them just cancel my entire order or call. They had time to write this raggedy ass note but couldn't call to ASK me if it's ok to substitute, if so what would I like??? d.) The icing on the cake is this so called food is unacceptable if it were my order; it's nasty & went in the TRASH after I took the pic. I want to dispute the entire charge on my debit card but I don't want to mess with the tip I gave to the delivery person. UGHH IM SO ANNOYED THAT I WASTED TIME & MONEY

    This place was super yummy! I got the TSX boil with sausage! The crab was fresh and the sauce was tasty. I would come back! The staff was very friendly.

    The big combo for $45

    Oh man!! This place was SO GOOD! Came with my wife planning on getting the middle combo, but we decided to go all out and get the bigger combo with lobster, crab, shrimp, fish, bomb sauces, and a real tasty bread. Worth every penny and there were leftovers for lunch too. It really could of fed 3 people. Check it out if you havent. Food took about 20min to make and seriously it was all good!! The crew in the back makes the food like pros!!!

    Seafood CHUCK never disappoint me.. Today I finally got to enjoy a delicious bag of seafood boil.. Shrimp crablegs corn sausage and potatoes.. 1 word AMAZING!!! Cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The sauce is . The perfect blend of seasoning and garlic Never bland or salty like some others.. I highly recommend all seafood lovers give this seafood boil a try.. U will not be disappointed.. On the flip side it can be a lil pricey however u get what u pay for and good food aint cheap!!!

    The food was so good!!! So much flavor... awesome customer service and easy to find. I really loved it.

    Specials

    Fireeeee! Customer service on point. Food on point. My only complaint is they're not closer to me. I'll definitely return to try some other menu items. Oh and I don't really care for hush puppies but their's are delicious. Second best I've ever had! It is located in a small parking lot though so you may have to look for parking. Also, their card machine was not working so they were only taking cash. He offered CashApp as a option as well so that's what I did.

    This is what was left of the seafood experience.. I have a video but I couldn't post it!

Food: ° Shrimp & Octopus Cocktail - fun fact! The more you add into your cocktail the bigger the bowl is and it gets big. We added 4 different seafoods into the cocktail and it was delivered in a large bowl. But the cocktail has good flavor and you get so much it can feed 2-3 people easily. Great choice! ° Chicken Fajitas - this was a really good dish, its normal in size only this one had amazing flavor, the plate stayed warm the entire time, it comes with Rice & Beans and the vegetables and meat was cooked perfectly. You also get tortillas either corn or flower. ° Enchilada Plate - It comes with Rice & Beans and you can choose from red or green sauce. Definitely get the red sauce its really good and the flavor was just right. Great choice. ° Chips and Salsa - love love the free chips and salsa. The chips are made fresh and the house salsa can be used on anything. It's really good anf has a good consistency. Service: Our waitress was GeeGee and she was so awesome. Really friendly even had a laugh with is but did her job so well and was able to keep us engaged and satisfied. The food came out in a reasonable time and it's plated nicely. Everyone seemed to be nice and attentive. Atmosphere: They have inside and outside seating and it can hold large groups. The inside is very chill and decorated with flags from all over the world its pretty cool. It's not too loud and it does have a calm relaxing vibe. They do have TV's as well. Location: It's located in Inglewood on Century Blvd. close to Inglewood Ave. White building with blue trim. Prices: The price are great! My Chicken Fajitas with rice and beans and tortillas was only $18. Parking: They have plenty of parking with a private parking lot connected to the property, it's easy to get in and out of.

We ordered the raw oysters, spicy pomodoro, red curry branzino, and some drinks. Everything was delectable! My favorite dish was the red curry branzino- very flavorful and the fish was cooked to perfection. The drinks were also very tasty. I don't recall what we ordered but the strawberry daiquiri tasted wonderful. The service was also very top notch. Our server, I don't remember his name, but it was a guy, was so funny and gave us nice recommendations about what to order. We loved his attitude and energy!

We started with the oyster sampler featuring selections from Hollywood, MD; Pope's Bay, VA; Buzzards Bay, MA; Chesapeake Bay, VA; and Wellfleet, MA. The oysters were exceptionally fresh and served with great accompaniments. We always order oysters when visiting seafood restaurants because freshness is so important to us, and Water Grill absolutely delivered. A must-order. The grilled Spanish octopus, served with fingerling potatoes, Niçoise olives, roasted tomato, pine nuts, and olive oil, was very good (3.5/5). We're fairly picky when it comes to octopus, and while we would have liked a bit more char, it was still among the better versions we've had. The New Zealand king salmon sushi with avocado, hazelnuts, papaya, and white soy-lime vinaigrette was fresh, clean, and delicious (5/5). While not particularly unique, it was executed perfectly. The crispy calamari with harissa aioli and cilantro-mint sweet chili sauce was also well done (4/5)--crispy, not oily, and very enjoyable. Calamari is another dish we frequently order, and this version met our standards, even if it wasn't especially memorable. The standout among the appetizers was the New Zealand pink bream ceviche with cilantro, red peppers, onions, lemon juice, and olive oil. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were incredibly fresh (5/5). We only added a touch of salt. This is another must-order dish. The Peruvian bay scallops with pistachio citrus pesto were somewhat underwhelming (3/5), and the Brussels sprouts with bacon and chestnuts (3/5) didn't leave much of an impression either. The lobster itself was excellent (5/5)--sweet, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The accompanying coleslaw wasn't our favorite, but we'd happily order the lobster again and probably go for a larger portion next time. The absolute star of the evening was the Massachusetts black sea bass. It was easily one of the best dishes of the night and possibly one of the best fish dishes we've ever had at a restaurant (5/5). Tender, juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. To top it all off, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary birthday dessert featuring chocolate cake, vanilla cake, oatmeal cake, and ice cream. It was thoughtful, delicious, and a wonderful ending to the meal (5/5). Overall, Water Grill earns a well-deserved 5/5. The quality and freshness of the seafood were outstanding, the beachfront ambiance was beautiful, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Definitely a must-try seafood destination in Los Angeles. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable experience--we truly appreciated it.

The seafood is insanely fresh, the flavors are bright and clean, and you can taste how much care goes into every detail. The ceviches and tostadas are my go-tos but honestly l've never had something here I didn't love. Everything is beautifully plated, super vibrant, and the portions are perfect for sharing (though you'll definitely want to order more than you think). It's light but still satisfying, and I always leave feeling. good, not heavy. Pro tip! If you don't feel like waiting in the long line (which can get wild), here's the move: skip it and head straight to the counter. If there's an open seat, grab it and order right there. You'll get your food way faster, and in my opinion it's the best seat in the house. You get to watch the team plate everything with so much precision-it's lowkey mesmerizing. You'll feel like you're part of the action and the food always comes out hot and fresh. Holbox is inside Mercado La Paloma, which already has a fun energy, but this spot is the star for me.

The sea bass entree was good and had a beautiful presentation, it was also nice for sharing, but the number of bones to pick out was a little annoying. That's what you get with ordering a full fish though! Not their fault. The pulpo tacos were tasty too, I love their handmade blue tortillas. But probably my least favorite of the bunch. Get the ceviche de atun! The aguachile was bomb too. And the live sea urchin is always good.
