    So this was the restaurant in the hotel. All in all the food and drinks were great, but the service was a bit up and down. When I grabbed dinner I felt like I had to try real hard to get someone's attention when I was at a table right in front of the bar. However on another night the bartender was very helpful and made the night fun. It's convenient and meets your needs.

    Menu is extremely limited and not alot to choose from. The struggle was real. We picked to eat here based on the online menu. This place is empty and only 4 seats at the bar taken up by construction workers. The server told me they heated up the soup on the microwave...no French dip, no poke etc...the vibe is a hotel lobby not upscale at all. Like a holiday inn

    This restaurant accommodated a high school Disney field trip and the breakfast was awesome. But I came here another time previously to this and the poke nachos were really disappointing. It felt like a restaurant trying to be bougie and fancy but it was just alright. For the price it's not worth it in my opinion. Some of the portions were worth it like the rice dish I ordered attached to the image but for what we paid it was definitely not worth it so I won't be coming again. Maybe it's because they're so close to Disneyland they decided to up the prices. Lesson learned. Thank you, nonetheless. :)

    Lobster Ravioli
    Lisa S.

    A hidden gem in Disneyland! This is a wonderful place to eat a fancy-ish dinner for a reasonable price. After a long day at Disney, we wanted a nice dinner but we didn't want to pay downtown Disney prices. Since we were staying at the Four Points hotel, we decided to walk back and give it a try. We didn't have high expectations given it was a hotel restaurant. However, once we arrived around 6pm we were instantly seated. I was hangry so this made me so happy. We ordered coconut shrimp as an app, lobster ravioli and short rib for our entrees. The appetizer came out right away probably within 5 min. It was freshly fried, and delicious. Highly recommend! Lobster ravioli - HEAVENLY. I am a lobster fanatic and the dish was super rich and creamy, with hints of flavorful lobster pieces inside. It also had some tender shrimp (not listed in the description) which was a nice add on protein. Brownie Sundae - I mentioned to the server there was a check in offer, and I was offered a free dessert. I chose the brownie sundae (because chocolate and ice cream duh) and it was really good! Super warm and rich, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I preferred that the brownie would've been more fudgey instead of cakey, but my husband liked the chocolate flavor a lot. TLDR: if you don't want to be hangry for dinner after Disneyland and want a nice fancy dinner with food service, head here at dinner hour and you'll be impressed!

    Food: this was our first time and EVERYTHING we ate tasted delicious! LUNCH: Lobster ravioli: 8.5 of 10 -ravioli was well boiled and sauce was good just a little too much Lemon pepper chicken: 10 of 10 -seasoning was balanced and the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist/juicy on the inside Kid's pepperoni pizza: 8.5 of 10- kid approved with the right amount of dough to cheese and pepperoni Shrimp garlic noodles: 9 of 10-great taste and blend of sauce, garlic and shrimp was good size Desserts: brownie Sunday- 9 of 10 warm brownie with crispy outer and moist and delectable inside. Bread pudding: 5 of 10 unfortunately not a favorite. The bread pudding had an interesting flavor and taste, and not as moist and tasty as other amazing dessert. DINNER: Braised short rib: 10 of 10- "butter meat" amazing especially when the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth upon contact! Chicken and waffle: 9.5 of 10 -perfect combination with the chicken and waffle combo; not too sweet with the chicken warm and crispy, and the waffle was prepared just right. Brownie Sunday with two scoops: 10 of 10 was even better than from earlier today and with a strawberry and extra scoop (and red eye coffee on the side)! Service: both at lunch, dinner and upon check in--the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful in making sure we were settled and welcomed to this small yet friendly hotel. Ambiance: not crowded at all--folks came and went and we had the place to ourselves for a little while until families started showing up. Family friendly and look forward to visiting again!

They brought a bottle from home, since this place allows free corkage for first bottle, what a nice service to provide wine glasses for your wine! Ordered several things and all good with a couple standouts. This place has good sauces to dip seafood into, to provide the extra flavors I am always looking for. - fresh sourdough & whipped butter = always my pleasure! - calamari, crab cakes = fried well and tasty appetizers with the sauce. - oyster sampler = got to try 3 of them, all were very fresh and good! - sand dabs = satisfying big pieces, could use some more of the sauce over it. surprised there isn't any rice or fries for the sides, which would make this dish more satisfying. mac n cheese was ok for me, but kid loved it when brought the leftovers home:) - soft shell crabs (southern fried) = wow, this was easily my favorite thing! 2 big soft shell crabs fried to perfection with tasty tartar sauce. Those crabs were delicious, would love to get this again!!! Never had whole soft shell crabs like this, only the small pieces appetizer at sushi joints. This was a much more enjoyable way to eat those soft shell crabs! - clam linguini = got a taste, pretty good. all about the sauce I guess. - seafood chowder = got a spoonful to try with a chunk of fish. like a vegetable soup with seafood flavors, wow, this was also very delicious and the fish chunk was fresh and perfect! - also got the fish n chips, but forgot to take pics = big thick chunks of cod was quality and delicious. but kinda pricey for fish n chips, so made sure to get the 3 piece for averaging cost down, lol. Enjoyed it here, so many more things to try too...

The servers are also super friendly and attentive, which definitely helps make the experience better. Just know that this restaurant is BUSY. Do not come expecting a quiet, slow-paced meal. The food comes out quickly, the place is loud because it's packed, and you can definitely feel the hustle and rush. But honestly? I keep craving the food here, so I brave the crowds and come back anyway. It's THAT good. One thing to note: definitely ask the servers about the menu, but don't feel like you have to order everything they recommend. Our server raved about the coconut prawns, which were $60, and unfortunately, they were not worth it for me. Long wait, loud atmosphere, questionable $60 prawns... but I'd still come back for the seafood.

He was a working professional that truly knew how to take care of two customers and didn't miss a beat. As if that wasn't enough. I haven't even talked about the food yet! They had an insanely large menu! We had a tough time deciding. I've never seen an oyster selection as big as theirs, so we got the oyster sampler, and it didn't disappoint. It was fun trying oysters from different regions and comparing the flavors. I had the soft shell crab and my husband had the chilean sea bass. We both win! Both dishes were excellent. Great wine selection. My husband had a syrah and I had moscato. Both were amazing. We were switching and taking bites off each other's plates. For dessert, they gave us a three flavored deep dish cookie with vanilla ice cream on top. What an incredible ending to an unforgettable night. Best part of the night came at the very end. Coincidentally, when we were getting ready to leave, our song was playing! I would have thought my husband planned that! Thanks, Water Grill! We hope to be lucky enough to dine with you guys again!!!
