Watertable was great!! Ate here over a few days while staying for a wedding. The place is huge with indoor and outdoor seating - even fireplace seating. Decor is warm and welcoming. SERVICE: Superb! Everyone here was extra friendly and they always got us seated quickly. At times they were busy but usually pretty attentive. Took care of us well. FOOD: Tasty!! As you can see by the pictures, we tried a lot of stuff...and everything tasted great! Our favs? The steaks (filet) and the meat and cheese boards with wine and whiskey. But you can't go wrong with any choice. Breakfast was super tasty too with the hashbrowns perfectly crispy on the outside :) If you are staying at the Hyatt or nearby, try the Watertable for breakfast or dinner! read more

Delicious dinner at the Hyatt Regency! Service is attentive and the steak is always good. I love the new strawberry matcha cake too - so creative, light, and delicious to eat. Their bacon jam is a favorite of mine. Goes amazingly well with the steak! read more

This review is for their breakfast buffet only, of which we've sampled a few times. $42 a head on a recent, overcast Sunday morning. It'd be nice if they offered a bottomless mimosa option included with the price of admission, but alas, they don't. Booze will cost you extra. Offerings include scrambled eggs, egg whites, bacon, several sausage choices, hash browns, veggie hash, french toast, cereal, fruit, bagels, charcuterie, omelet station. Decent, but nothing crazy good. Coffee was a little bitter. You know, like it had been sitting for a while. Salsa was curiously flat and bland. Service was polite, but slow and not dialed in. And it was not busy when we went. This joint offers indoor and outdoor seating. Nice grounds. Just ok on the food. On a side note, beware the omelet station. Though good, you might find a stray morsel or three of some ingredients you didn't request. #2 daughter had some onion, bell pepper and mushroom in hers that she hadn't anticipated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

Came here for the benny (Eggs Benedict) flight, but we had a really underwhelming experience for a place with such good reviews! During our breakfast/brunch experience, we found out that they had a whole breakfast buffet (with an omelet station). No idea about the price point, but it looked pretty fresh and it was about 50/50 people ordering from the menu vs. buffet. Service was a bit slow but we weren't in a rush. It was so slow that our host took our drink orders - curious but appreciate her! The Watertable Bloody Mary was disappointing. The flavors just weren't there as it tasted watery. Also, I know a collins glass is traditional - but in 2026, we like our bloody marys in pint glasses with a few more toppings please. The Benedict flight was great - it came with the: Crab & Avocado (lump crab meat, crushed avocado, lime-cilantro hollandaise, micro cilantro, cracked pink peppercorns) Short Rib (Short Rib Hash, potatoes, carrots, red pearl onions, peppers, haricot vert, red pepper parsley hollandaise) SoCa (cornbread waffle, fried chicken, maple slaw, poached eggs, jalapeño bacon hollandaise) First, the poach on all the eggs was perfect and spot-on. Flavor-wise, Crab & Avocado was the best. I think this may be their top seller too as they got it down a science - the ratios, the crisp edge of the english muffin but soft interior. The Soca was interesting - more hushpuppy like to me. The short rib was very bland. We were staying at the hotel, otherwise I would not make a trip out here for breakfast/brunch. The evening might be a whole different vibe though as there's live music! read more

Stayed at the Hyatt Regency for a couple of nights and decided to have dinner at Watertable. Our experience here was amazing! To start off we ordered the creamer potato cakes and the summertime sour cocktail which I was really impressed with. The potato cakes were made really well with the right amount of crisp and the truffle sauce it came with was delicious. I got the Chilean seabass with cauliflower while my wife got the prime hangar steak. I enjoyed my seabass, which I took the servers recommendation in going with the butter sauce sautéed. The sauce went really well with the seabass, it melted in your mouth and was a real highlight. Would recommend the cauliflower side as well! Service was very friendly and accommodating although our main dishes did take some time to come out. It was well worth the wait though and I highly recommend dining here if you're looking for an upscale experience in Huntington Beach! read more

We were guests at the Hyatt Regency and decided to have dinner at Watertable. We had a 5:30 p.m. reservation on Friday, July 10, and unfortunately, our experience got off to a terrible start. The two hostesses working that evening (one blonde and one brunette) were unwelcoming from the moment we arrived. We weren't greeted, and the blonde hostess didn't even make eye contact when we checked in for our reservation. While we were waiting, a group of girls walked in, cut directly in front of us with their coloring pages, and the blonde hostess immediately started helping them without so much as acknowledging us or apologizing. It was awkward, dismissive, and incredibly rude. The brunette hostess eventually seated us at a table in the corner of the restaurant. The interaction left us feeling unwelcome, and both hostesses could benefit from customer service training. A simple greeting, eye contact, and basic courtesy go a long way. The one bright spot was our server, who I believe was French, and his assistant/busser. They were both was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal. We truly appreciate them. They are easily the best part of our dining experience. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing as the service at the front. My salmon was overcooked and burned, and my mother's sea bass was also burned and nearly inedible. We also found it unusual that the bread was served in a bag without plates. On top of that, the bread was extremely salty, and I couldn't finish it. Considering the high prices, the portions were surprisingly small and didn't justify the cost. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Great hospitality starts the moment guests walk through the door, and Watertable missed the mark. Because of the poor welcome and underwhelming food, we won't be returning, ever. read more

We went to the Water Table restaurant last night in the Hyatt Huntington Beach based on the very high reviews. The occasion was our wedding anniversary. We were not happy with the choice. We were of course looking for excellent food, service and ambiance. The first two met our expectations, except there being no receptionist when we arrived. The food was excellent. We had some of the best fresh Alaskan halibut with butter sauce that we have ever had. The side was an excellent asparagus with delicious sauce. We had a fresh peach and burrata cheese starter which was very good. The fresh peaches were still a bit firm and would have been better sauteed. The crème Brulee was outstanding. The service was fine but it seemed the waiter had too many tables to attend to, some even outside. BUT, the ambiance was terrible! The restaurant is on the first floor of the hotel with no view except to a busy patio with the restaurant having no view even though we were across PCH from the beach. There were just bare tables and it was very noisy; especially with one noisy table with a screaming child. The restaurant had a high noise level. This is not "fine dining." read more

Bit sad writing this review because I've loved Watertable for years. I've been so many times and it's always been solid. This was my first visit back after a long break, and it was shockingly disappointing. Every dish was just...off. The charred Baja prawns were overcooked to the point of being chewy. Weirdly, whatever was underneath them was better than the shrimp themselves. The whipped ricotta with marinated mushrooms wasn't whipped at all. The mushrooms were cold and the whole dish felt disjointed and strange. The grilled baby lamb chops were overcooked and wasn't even grilled. The seared scallops came loaded with a bunch of random stuff that didn't work together. It felt like ingredients thrown on a plate without a clear direction, and it tasted just as confusing. I was excited about the cauliflower rice paella because I love both cauliflower and paella but somehow it leaned sweet. Sweet. That's not what I'm looking for in paella. The only bright spot was the oyster. Fresh and simple. Exactly what it needed to be. Ramone was fantastic: attentive, friendly, and professional. Service wasn't the issue at all. But the food this time missed the mark across the board which is hard to say because this place used to be a favorite. I really hope this was just an off night. Ugh. Overall, expensive and disappointing. read more

Came here for breakfast about 20 minutes before it closed. Ordered the classic quiche Lorraine, which was absolutely and positively delicious. The Swiss cheese really came through. It was light and fluffy. The crusted was perfect. The side salad had arugula, avocado, cherry tomato and was light. I also got the side of fresh fruit, which was at the appropriate amount and all the berries were at the right ripeness. For my drink I got a half orange half grapefruit mixed and both juices were fresh. Was the best breakfast of the trip. read more

We came here for the weekend. Overall a very nice resort with this nice restaurant inside. The wait was about 20-30 minutes. You have the option of sitting inside or outside (with ocean view.) Our server was amazing, thank you Ricardo! He was attentive and very accommodating. He checked on us multiple times even though he was noticeably busy with many other tables. He walked around with a smile and was kind with his words. They have a buffet and individual option menu items. I appreciated that they gave us the option to order menu items since not all of us wanted to commit to buffet. The food options were great with a little bit of everything from savory to sweets, to simple scrambled eggs and omelet options. The restaurant inside is clean and organized. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a sit down breakfast spot. It is very conveniently located inside Huntington Hyatt Regency hotel. read more

I have only had breakfast at watertable, so I can't speak to their dinner, but I'm sure it's delicious. I have eaten here as a guest at the Hyatt and also not as a guest at the Hyatt just going there for brunch. They have a buffet for brunch, which is always a great option especially if you're hungry. I have also ordered off the menu and my favorite thing for brunch is their oatmeal. I know that sounds weird, Someone saying oatmeal is their favorite but this is not your ordinary oatmeal! First off it's huge and you could probably share it with two other people, but it comes out looking beautiful and there are every topping you could imagine for the oatmeal. Definitely worth trying! read more

Conveniently located inside the Hyatt Huntington Beach, Water Table is a winner! Good menu, extensive wine list, and prime spot overlooking the pier. Indoor and outdoor patio seating - we loved it. Server was attentive and friendly. Plus, kids menu's a hit with the little ones (my 3.5 and 7-year-old loved the options!). Great experience overall. read more

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach as Globalists and had breakfast included in our stay. Our complimentary value was $32 per person for four people and it was more than enough to satiate our appetites for breakfast. For coffee, we had the: - Lavendar Honey Latte: Really tasty lavender notes. A bit too sweet, but to be expected. I regret not trying Pete's Cup Cappuccino, but will next time! For the benedicts, we had the: - Short Rib Hash: Delicious morsels of short rib that had a fantastic seasoning. They were super tender. - SoCa: The fried chicken had a perfect crunch and the cornbread waffle was super tasty, albeit a little filling. For the kids: - Smores French Toast: Super sweet and the kids loved it but it was messy! - Brûléed Oatmeal: Our son loves oatmeal and demanded to have it. Very pretty oatmeal dish, but way too sweet for our liking. It was fun to eat, though! We decided to try some more stuff for later since we were only staying one night: - Brioche French Toast: It had matcha butter cream this time which was super decadent. - Zesty Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes: The honeycomb butter was a cool addition that piqued our kids interest. All in all a solid breakfast with inventive dishes. While everything was a bit too sweet for our tastes, we still enjoyed it! Also, props to our server for dealing with our large order! read more

I came here again for breakfast and as expected, it took a long time to be seated. However, this time our food was not delivered until we asked the server and it turns out that something had been missed and so we ended up getting out the food when the restaurant was closing.

We spent a night at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach a few weeks back and had two meals at Watertable. We went for dinner out of sheer convenience, as there were two small children in our party and the restaurant was basically in the lobby. Dinner was much better than it had to be, and we were happy to learn that breakfast, included with our stay, would be in the same place. We had dinner indoors and breakfast on the patio, and both spaces were quite pleasant, though I'd give an edge to the indirect but still lovely ocean view. The interior was attractive, calm, and comfortable. There was a guy playing guitar as Friday night entertainment. He was good and the kids loved him. The vibe was family-friendly but nice, with alcohol. We had a couple bottles of Duckhorn Chardonnay with dinner, and there was also a tempting cocktail list. Service was great at both meals. The food was fantastic. Dinner started with soft tear-apart dinner rolls with butter and salt, and we got a few appetizers for the table, all of them sized for sharing. The creamer potato cakes were satisfying, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, served with truffle dip, snipped chives, and cracked pepper. The whipped ricotta and marinated mushrooms made a substantial, savory spread, with rosemary, Aleppo pepper, confit garlic, thyme, and grilled olive bread. Ahi tuna crudo came with leche de tigre, Aleppo crunch, apple slaw, and orange marmalade. My favorite starter might been a salad: the smashed cucumber salad with arugula, purple watercress, watermelon radish, whipped herb feta, dill honey vinaigrette, and candied pistachios. Lots of crunch and flavor. I shared two entrées with my mom and they were both delicious. The Watertable burger was a definite winner, a juicy beef patty with black garlic aioli, arugula, Emmenthal cheese, crispy pancetta, and tomato jam, served with house cut fries and jalapeño dip. For our second entrée, we went with the "your menu" option, where you pick your own protein, cooking method, sauce, and side. We went with Chilean sea bass sautéed with white butter sauce and a side of roasted golden beats with pistachio romesco, orange gastrique, and beet chips. The kids ate well, too, dining on grilled cheese and chicken tenders. My older boy refused the tomato soup that came with his grilled cheese, which he otherwise devoured. I had some, and it was classic and super tasty. The boys ate chocolate ice cream for dessert while the adults shared a slice of lemon meringue cheesecake with lemon curd, toasted meringue, macerated berries, almond bark, and mixed berry Grand Marnier coulis. Decadent and tangy. Breakfast was excellent, with the added benefit of being complimentary, thanks to my mom's Hyatt status. There was a buffet, but we opted to order from the a la carte menu, which had more appealing options. My mom and I shared this meal, too, getting the lox and bagel and the SoCa Benedict. The lox and bagel was serviceable if not a standout, with dill caper cream cheese, heirloom tomato, lemon oil, avocado relish, tossed arugula, and shaved red onion. The Benedict was superb, with fried chicken, maple slaw, poached eggs, and jalapeño bacon Hollandaise on a dense, buttery cornbread waffle. As for my boys, they absolutely loved their chocolate chip pancakes. A sweet start to my big kid's fifth birthday. We had a lot of fun at the Hyatt Regency and plan to go back for more low-key family trips in the coming years. I'm glad Watertable is such a solid restaurant. It's an easy spot with kid's menus and quality food and drink for grown-ups. I'll bet we hit it a couple times whenever we visit. read more

Starting off with the good, ambience and food was great, service was not so great. The hostess at the front were sweet and even accommodated us wanting to sit outside. Our waiter on the other hand did not seem happy with us , not sure why. They brought us bread in a bag and butter with no plates. I thought it was weird but did not say anything to my group until we realized no one was bringing it and eventually had to ask for plates after waiting 15 minutes. We had to flag our waiter down for simple things like utensils and plates and missing drink orders. I don't even mind asking for things that were forgotten, totally get that, but everytime we asked for something it felt like we were bothering. I work in customer service and totally understand it is Fourth of July weekend and probably busy but every time we politely asked for simple requests it seemed to be an issue. We asked for new utensils for our main courses and were given a condescending comment about how we aren't the ones doing the dishes tonight. One older gentleman eventually did bring us condiments, utensils, and a large glass of water for the table, I wish we got his name but he was super nice and did not make us feel weird for asking for simple things. Our whole group really did enjoy the food but we wished the service matched it. They also charge an automatic service fee which is not disclosed anywhere on a menu or website. read more

Had a wonderful experience last night. Donna was our server and she was amazing. Everyone there is so friendly and attentive, including the blonde hostess, who let us sit at a larger table even though we were a party of 2 so we wouldn't be all cramped. There was a nice ambiance to the place, not too busy and not empty - 7pm reservation on a Wednesday. Meal starts with complimentary warm bread with sea salt and a side of butter. It did not disappoint and we could have skipped the flatbread. I must premise that I love all things burrata so my eyes immediately went to the burrata and tomato salad. Refreshing and delicious. Chilean sea bass was recommended as the best item on the menu so I went with that and was quite happy with it. I would prefer less mashed potatoes and more grilled veggies but that's just personal preference. I ordered the geisha's blessing that included coconut, gin and strawberry. Small and frothy. Was okay, but nothing exceptional. He ordered Jalisco water which wasn't bad either but I'd probably skip the cocktails. Too full for dessert but beautiful location and great place to walk around afterward to enjoy the scene. read more

We stayed at the hotel and wanted to stop in for breakfast. They had a wait time at around 915AM so we waited around 20 minutes to be sat. The system they have going is a bit bizarre in the front. I came up to show the text that we had our table ready and they said they just need to check in someone onto the wait list, but then proceeded to sit the person instead of us, who had been waiting for the text and got sat? All the people who were waiting in the "waiting" list line got sat before we did after we waited double the time. Once we were sat, we decided on the buffet to save time. Some of the items were great but some of the items were pretty bland or meh. The breakfast sausages were great but the bacon was just ok and the omelettes were tiny and had a weird aftertaste. The breakfast breads were dry and there was no French toast or waffles. The donut hole bread pudding was bland as well but I did like the tomato spinach quiche. I wish they were more clear that when you ask for an iced coffee, it's going to be an extra charge on top of the buffet - and its half the size of a Starbucks coffee but for $6.5 each. Overall I would pass on the breakfast here. read more

Only reason this wasn't a 5 star was because service was lacking. Our server was not the quickest or fastest. Always had to find someone to help with something.

Enjoyed it very much! Great service, clean, breakfast was delicious and the weather was sunny and pleasant.

Fantastic food, service, ambiance, everything here from start to finish was excellent for a frazzled and intense family with two young kids. Normally we avoid hotel food, but given we had parked quite far away, and had two kids that were ready to actually eat their parents for breakfast, we came here for two breakfasts in a row while on our mini vacation. Staff (a different server each day) were extremely accommodating and understanding with our ornery kiddos. Meals came out quickly, with photo-ready presentations. Over our two meals here we had a hefty omelet (fairly customizable), the acai bowl (a bit different than normal, but really tasty and fresh), an absurdly sweet French toast, nice n fluffy pancakes, and two well-made matcha lattes. There is a buffet too; we didn't order this but from the little we saw it looked solid. Outside heating is available for the cool mornings. It's a little pricey (not included in our standard room), but about what I'd expect for top-notch service with an ocean view and excellent service. read more

Best restaurant in town! A must when you're in Huntington Beach. Food and service was above expectations

A memorable experience at Watertable. A beautiful restaurant in Huntington Beach. I'll start with the negative. The room was cold. They sat us close to a door to the patio and kept it open. We asked our server if he could close it, and he did. Our server was Bulent. He was very attentive and nice. 5 Stars for him!!! Food: Old Fashioned Drinks Olive Tapenade Hamachi Crudo Bone Marrow Pear Salad Tiger Prawns Lamb Chops Orange Almond Dessert The highlight was the Bone Marrow. It was prepared perfectly with mushrooms, madeira, grilled sour dough bread, and parsley. Best combination ever!!! All the other dishes were good. I wouldn't order the Prawns again. My friends enjoyed the lamb chops. Overall, it was a beautiful experience, and the food was tasty. read more

I came here on a weekday with friends for breakfast and got completely pampered by the staff and quality food. I ordered the brûlée oats and a side of bacon with fresh pineapple juice and a lavender oat latte. The oats had some of the tastiest buttery granola on top and the coconut cream was light and fresh! So good I will be dreaming about this. The pineapple juice was vibrant and freshly made. The latte's presentation was so pretty and very lightly flavored. I want to come back and try more of the menu next time I'm in town. It was busy but the staff handled it smoothly and food arrived to the table relatively quickly for how fresh everything tasted.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed an amazing dinner here last night after a day of being pampered at the spa. Brandon was our server and greeted us with a cheerful smile and an excitement about the menu. We split the hamachi crudo which was delicious! The fish was thinly sliced and topped with a slice of radish and jalapeño in a fruit sauce! Melt in your mouth goodness. From there we enjoyed the whipped ricotta and wild mushrooms! Holy wow!!! It was so darn good. It came with chunks of roasted garlic and toast to dip, slather, and simply devour. If you like mushrooms I highly recommend trying this dish. For dinner we split the petite filet. It was cooked perfectly with a nice pink throughout. The steak was melt in your mouth quality- like butter. It was served alongside mashed potatoes and asparagus. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back!

Beautiful Ambiance, But Rude and Unaccommodating Service Ruined the Night We hosted my boyfriend's 40th birthday dinner Sunday November 2nd at Water Table with a party of 18, and while the ambiance was beautiful and a few of the other staff members were helpful, the main waitress completely ruined the experience! 1. She never introduced herself -- we still have no idea what her name was -- and her attitude was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional from start to finish. She rarely checked on our table, barely asked for drink refills, and acted visibly irritated any time we made polite requests. If I knew her name I would name drop here right here but again there was no introduction or effort to be personable. I understand people have bad days but that event wasn't the time to express it. 2. The most disappointing moment was when we brought out the birthday cake we provided ourselves. She tried to convince us not to cut it, insisting that the prix fixe menu "already came with dessert." It was obvious she didn't want to deal with cutting or serving it, which was incredibly inconsiderate given the occasion. Throughout the evening, I also caught her making stern faces like she's didn't want to be there times when guests asked for something simple such as drinks as if it was an inconvenience when we are Supposed to be making requests -- an attitude that has no place in a fine dining setting during a mile stone event. We spent over $4,800 (including gratuity) for this event. If gratuity hadn't been automatically included, I would've left only 5%, purely out of politeness for the other employees. But even then they weren't executional either, just not rude, however I'm pretty sure that's the bare minimum at this type of establishment. The ambiance and a few helpful staff members were the only redeeming aspects of the night, but the head waitress's attitude and lack of professionalism overshadowed. For a milestone birthday celebration, this level of service was unacceptable. We won't be returning, and I strongly recommend anyone considering hosting a group event here to think twice the service does not match the setting or the price. read more
