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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Joanna is an excellent services who checked on us multiple times, was kind, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is very good. Plated nicely and yummy! Breakfast - fingerling potatoes, bacon, scrambled eggs, pancake (side order). The potatoes are flavorful with grilled onions, excellent quality bacon and ham.
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.
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. The food was really delicious and flavorful! We ordered 4 dishes and the BEST was the SoCa!!! It's a must! I also really liked the short ribs as it was a very flavorful dish! Parking is validated and costs $10 for 3 hours!

A really quiet and relaxing brunch restaurant inside the Hyatt with $5 valet. If you sit outside, you have a clear view of Huntington Beach with lots of flowers and a fountain. They have a $36 buffet option on top of their brunch menu which looked good: scrambled eggs (and scrambled whites), seasonal vegetables, pastries, bagel and cereal station, small charcuterie, fruit, bacon, quiche, etc. Coffee and juice included. I have no self-control so I got the corned beef hash eggs Benedict which looks small but is surprisingly filling without being bloated. It was very tasty and the corned beef was more like a smoked brisket instead of minced. Not salty either, pretty healthy as far as hash goes. Orange juice was fresh squeezed. Our server was Christine/Kristine and she was very nice, checked on us often, cleared plates, and refilled waters. No complaints here. The decor inside was also very relaxing. Good for business and pleasure. read more
Wanted to avoid hotel breakfast but this was above average. Honey lavender had a great after taste and larger glass than usual. Two eggs anystyle was solid with chicken sausage and potatoes not dried out. Huervos rancheros was a surprise on how good it was with the salsa and all. It was tasty and not too much egg or beans, evenly layered out and all. Outdoor seating was nice but rained out. Go for outdoors if you can especially night time watching sunsets. Server was very social, he was friends it felt like with everyone, it rained out then sit at the bar. read more

TL;DR: Some really standout dishes with great service - can't go wrong Nice dining option in the Hyatt Regency HB - really nice view from the outdoor tables Came after a beach and pool day for some early tapas-type dining and weren't disappointed Ordered: - Torched Hamachi app (3/5): the green sauce was yummy and the seafood was really fresh but the flavor profile just seemed to miss everyone at the table - Whipped Ricotta and Marinated Mushrooms app (4/5): the grilled olive bread is the winner here - the spread is good but lost the mushroom earthiness in the ricotta - Creamer Potato Cakes app (5/5): winning app! Just know there's a lot of potatoes - Shaved Fennel and Grilled Artichoke Salad (3/5): Unfortunate letdown compared to all the other veggies we were served. Missed the appetizing flavor memo that the rest of the dishes received :/ - Chilean Sea Bass (4.5/5 - MVP): the fish sea bass was really flaky but wish we got a better sear Side: - Grilled eggplant (5/5): perfectly seared and cooked eggplant strips topped with thin more-flavorful-than-hot chilis - Fries (2/5): fries were a heavy miss and only saved by the green dipping sauce - Roasted carrots (3/5): some of the thinner pieces were on the dry side - overall decent roast The meal had its highlight dishes but Cameron was yet another highlight with his great service, friendly attitude, and fun anecdotes! Definitely got some of great recs and tips for the best hotel experience Will try much more on the menu (talking to you, Tomahawk) next time we're here and looking for some more grub Cheers, Watertable and Cameron! read more
This restaurant is located in Hyatt Hotel, the architecture, fountain pool, plants, and overall atmosphere was gorgeous. The setting for this restaurant is a real selling point. Views out past the landscaped garden to the beach are glorious. The seating has several fire pits and low lighting giving a very relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here, and ordered the seabass, bone marrow, and salad, perfection! The service is excellent, and the outdoor dining views brought me so much happiness. Valet parking only but $7 for 3 hours is a great match with the view and food. We had an exceptional dining experience at Watertable and can't wait to return. Highly recommended for a memorable and delicious evening out! read more

I haven't been here for a year and the quality of the food changed so bad, including the service. I usually do either room service or dine in, but recently I did room service. The first biggest disappointment is, certian foods cannot not be ordered. Personal didn't give me a reason or what type of food but for sure one of the food I was really wanting was the Bone Marrow. Did not get a chance to get that and I was will to do 2-3 orders (sad). The most disappointing was the Lamb chops. It was very very small than usual, dry, and blandly seasoned. I did two orders for myself and for my daughter. We both love the Lamb but that night, the experience was so bad, we didn't bother to finish it. So overall quality of experience was a one . I don't understand the restrictions on certian food to be ordered. Next time, I rather go to an actual restaurant to eat quality that is good enough to bring back to the hotel and eat for the next day. Not going to go back or order room service. I felt that the people that do room service are less of a priority. read more

Came here for breakfast after staying a night at the Hyatt regency Huntington Beach. As a Hyatt Globalist breakfast is complimentary and pretty much anything on the menu was free game so I tried a few different things. The Huevos Rancheros with Beef Barbacoa was delicious, packed with beans and meat so if you're not a fan of beans, I'd stay away. The SoCa was really good too the chicken was flavorful and crunchy and the sauce on top was yummy. The cornbread waffle was different but it was a nice touch (ask for hot sauce). The Oreo waffle wedges were my favorite part very sweet and the Oreo crunch with whipped cream was the perfect dip. Service was really good, our waiter made sure we were constantly checked on and all the staff were delightful. I had fresher squeezed orange juice for a drink. The location has a nice decor too and old speakeasy vibe. read more

This review is for the New Year's Eve 4-course dinner meal ($120 per person). It was nice they gave us complimentary champagne! We also ordered the Christmas Thyme cocktail, which didn't have a strong taste. I got the lamb chops, pear salad, Chilean sea bass, and the six degrees of chocolate cake. My bf got the scallops, butternut squash soup, elk loin, and coffee cake. The lamb chops and scallops were delicious. The lamb was quite tender and flavorful, although was a little burnt. The scallops were tender, and the sauce was strong. We had to remind our waitress about the bread. The bread was HUGE, and it was delicious when you dip in the lamb and scallops sauce. The pear salad was solid - I enjoyed the candied pecans, but personally didn't like the Roquefort cheese. I tried the butternut squash soup, and it was warm and rich. The Chilean sea bass was incredible! Super flaky and tender, although a little too salty. I tried my bf's elk loin, but wasn't a fan because it tasted dry and tough to me. The six degrees of chocolate cake was a little disappointing because it wasn't chocolatey enough for me. The cracker thing on top was the best part of the dessert. I also enjoyed the hazelnuts. We took the coffee cake to go Ambiance was so nice especially the outdoor views. It does get cold during winter time, and even though we asked our waitress twice for a heater close to us, we didn't get it. Service was a little slow - they were probably too busy on New Year's Eve. We read that parking was valet only so we opted for street parking. read more
Pull up to the Hyatt Regency valet. Let them take care of the car. Then... let Watertable take care of your appetite. You deserve it How'd I end up here? Decided to try something new for a Mother's Day dinner. It was gamble having never been here before prior to this evening. Rolling the dice on such a momentous occasion, some would say "Dang Mike you bold" LOL Could've gone wrong but compliments to the chef, the excellent crew of Watertable, it went oh so right! Review: The dinner was everything an excellent dinner experience should be for a mom who deserves the best! Wine selection: Excellent, vast Menu: Well curated appetizer options. Flavors did not conflict nor compete for palette. Steak which I ordered medium, was precisely medium. Service: Our waiter, was attentive and very well versed. Great communication, and pleasant to converse with. I also observed the surrounding guests enjoying the service of their waiters as well. I only wish I wrote this more soon. I can't recall his name, nor the specific names of the dishes. My apologies in advance for my subpar written review. Overall, Watertable gets the 5 read more
I came here twice largely amused that at two different Hyatt Regencies separated by hundreds of miles there was Water's Table and Watertable. With such similarities I wanted to compare the one to the other and quickly discovered they are remarkably different restaurants. First time I visited I popped in the bar for a cocktail where I was greeted with professional indifference. It was a lovely bar, deep U shape with these high bar stools. The bartender took my drink order and then left me to it. The night was quiet, the service transactional professionalism, and there was little interest. the drink was solid and then I left because my hotel room was warmer in more ways than one. A few days later, immediately after checking out, I decided to eat breakfast here. With suitcase in hand I found the morning crew to be more welcoming. I was cheerily greeted by the hostess who sat me off the bar area in the middle of the room. Despite the central location and quite a few diners I found the noise level to be fantastic, never clearly hearing anything anyone else was saying. I ordered the eggs, potatoes, and sausage and it was delicious. Perfectly savory. The French 75 cocktail I ordered was wonderfully balanced. My waitress was more polite profession, but I again noted the overtly serious tone that seemed to be almost everywhere here. Lots of small, polite smiles. Still, a very good breakfast experience! read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Huntington Beach. We stay here at the hotel so it makes it that much better. During our stay we average about a meal a day here so I have had most of the dinner and breakfast menu Service is always great. Outdoor and indoor seating is fantastic. Their fire tables and heating keep you warm outside and the decor is really done well. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you are close by give it a try. It won't disappoint. read more
One of my favorite places to get the branzino which is so amazing with the crispy flavorful skin. We loved all the food that came out everything tasted great and they also have outdoor seatings too for a romantic vibe. It's part of the hotel so easier to just valet park. One of my favorite restaurants in HB area. read more

Great outdoor patio and dining area. Inside the Hyatt Hotel. The bread!!! I normally don't eat or care about the complimentary bread at a restaraunt but the bread here is awesome!! I could not stop eating it!! Good cocktails and service. Cheeseburger was good. Being a fry snob, these were a 3/4 out of a 5. The green dipping sauce was delish. Filet was cooked perfectly and sides were good. Will repeat here. read more

The crème brûlée oatmeal is not only the best oatmeal ever...it may be my favorite breakfast ever. My husband had pancakes and said they were amazing. Anthony was a phenomenal server. Very attentive and personable. He made for a great experience. read more
Absolutely delicious! My family and I recently stayed at the Hyatt Hotel in Huntington Beach. Upon walking back into our room one night, we noticed Watertable Restaurant, located on the main floor. The lounge area looked so attractive that we had to acquire more information. The next morning, we made sure to enjoy our last meal before heading back home. I ordered the vegetable Benedict, daughter ordered their lox and bagel, and hubbie ordered their vegetable omelette. Each dish was so delicious and so fresh. I absolutely loved my vegetable Benedict, which consisted of Brussel sprouts, kale, sweet potatoes, etc over poached eggs. I found it to be very flavorful and a wonderful mix of vegetables. Truly enjoyed our breakfast at Watertable. They do only open until 11:30 for breakfast, and reopen for dinner at 5:30. Looking forward to trying their dinner next time read more

I've been to Watertable for both dinner and brunch. Dinner here is absolutely phenomenal. I came for a work party and got to try several appetizers, all of which were delicious. From the potatoes to the lamb lollipops, everything was a flavorful and quickly devoured. Even the fresh bread and butter was enough to write home about. For my main course, I ordered the sea bass and it did not disappoint. It was cooked perfectly and paired really nicely with the sauce that accompanied it. Because dinner was so good, I chose to come back for my birthday brunch. They do offer a buffet but we decided to order entrees off of the regular brunch menu. I ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes while my husband opted for the SoCa Benedict. Both were good, but we've both had better. The star of the pancakes was the honeycomb butter they came with. Otherwise, they tasted like lemon blueberry pancakes- not bad but nothing special. I tried my husband's Benedict and preferred that, but he thought it was just okay. Love the coziness of the restaurant and no complaints on service. I'm sure we'll be back soon for dinner! read more

Celebrated our 27th Wedding Anniversary here. One of the best dining experiences we've had. The inside of the restaurant was awesome looking. It was a nice night, so we opted for outdoor dining since there were heat lamps. Great views and the large fish fountain noise was very soothing. Chef Adrian Lagoy's menu is one of the top I've tasted. The citrus ceviche was full of flavors with juicy pieces of seafood. The bone marrow is a must try when you dine here. The Demi glacé and mushrooms are a great complement to the marrow and bread. The filet and prime new york steaks were cooked to perfection. The garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. The asparagus was cooked perfect as well. Order an extra side of Demi Glacé. Dip slices of steaks in it...you won't be disappointed. The desserts were a great end to our dinner. We will definitely be back to try more. Cheers... read more

In a nutshell: Terrific atmosphere, good service, pricey food small portions, and a good place to hang out with good friends. To get here: Make sure you valet since there really is no other choice besides the street metered parking on PCH. They validate for up to 4 hours, so make sure you keep track of the time. There's an electronic board to see who's car is coming, cool factor on that is 5 stars. The other 5 star worthy notes here is the view of course, why on earth would you not enjoy some of that while you're here? The bread that comes is also 5 star worthy, you get your own what's not to love? But the cocktails I thought was really too simple for $18. Bourbon based drink, could've added something fresh or deep notes for that price. I went with something simple for dinner like their mushroom and cauliflower dish ($24). Definitely appreciate the textures and colors of the dish, it is quite small almost like a side dish. I finished in 3 bites, not even kidding. It was the only Vegan friendly entree on the menu. But if I were to be back, I probably would just hang out at the bar with good friends after I already ate and drank beforehand. I live close by, so I definitely wouldn't come here for a full meal. Was here on a Tuesday night, it wasn't crowded at all. Bathroom is outside near the back entrance. read more

We stayed at the Hyatt regency and decided to try water table after numerous recommendations and so glad we did! It was just my husband and I and it felt like we ordered the whole menu! Out of everything we ordered, we loved the creamer potato cakes! We ordered the creamer potato cakes, butternut squash soup, hamachi Crudo, bone marrow, pan seared scallops, prime New York steak. Such a great date night, great views, and excellent service! read more

Came here twice during our stay at Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach. This restaurant is located onsite. The first time, we came for after dinner drinks and apps so sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. My husband ordered an old-fashioned and I got a stem of their Peju Cabernet. We shared hamachi crudo and scallops - both were delicious. The second time, we came for brunch. I got the brûlée oatmeal, which was creamy with burnt brown sugar on top. So good! My kids enjoyed their pancake, sausages, and eggs... and my husband thought his eggs and bacon were great too. Everything was cooked well and the eggs were so fluffy. I found the prices fairly reasonable for an on-site hotel restaurant. Excellent, friendly, and attentive service too! read more

July 4th in Huntington Beach. Fireworks, music, the smell of bonfires as you walk along the beach - what could be better? When you want a nice dinner with pleasant ambiance and delicious food, head to Watertable. I passed by this restaurant countless times before and have always wanted to try. Finally booked a reservation for the holiday and I was so impressed. First, the complimentary bread is delicious. It comes out hot in these decorated bags and sprinkled with salt. With a little smear of butter on top, it's the perfect bread dish before your meal. My family and I ordered the filet, the New York Strip, the sea bass, and the scallops. The filet and strip were cooked perfectly to our liking. The sauce accompanying the strip was a tad salty but nothing overwhelming. Everything tasted wonderful. The scallops were also a high point. Four scallops were included on this dish, and the accompanying greens and cherry tomatoes were so fresh and vibrant. The only downside was the sea bass, which was soft like butter but did have the slightest fishy aftertaste. I wasn't sure if the chef may have slightly undercooked it or if the fish wasn't completely fresh. It didn't ruin the meal for me, but it made the dish suffer compared to the other outstanding plates. Everything came out warm, which likely explains the lag between ordering and food being served. Overall, I would be back but I'd skip the sea bass and order steak inside. read more

Quick Summary This review is for their breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was very good; dinner was decent. Great for the convenience of being in the hotel and also the views. Would call and get a table earlier in the morning if you come on a weekend for breakfast Food- 4 stars Creamer potato cakes- these were really good. The best dish for dinner whipped ricotta and marinated mushrooms- this was good. It was pretty standard Grilled baby lamb chops- same thing. It's good but pretty standard NY steak- same thing. It's good but pretty standard. Choice cut Leek and potato soup- this was pretty good. very creamy and balanced Watertable burger- this was good, but standard. was disappointed that they didn't butter the bun, as it was a bit dry Soca benedict- this was very good. Highly recommend for breakfast Huevos rancheros- this was good, but not memorable Breakfast flatbread- this was very good. Highly recommend Strawberry french toast- this was very good as well. Loved the mint whipped cream Service- 4 stars Servers were pretty good. Was getting some mixed messages on the time from the host, so deducting a star there Bottom Line Pretty good breakfast; decent dinner. It's a good spot if you're staying in the hotel read more
For a pre Valentine's Day weekend, being short staffed like other establishments, and probably having provisioning issues too...we had a wonderfully enchanting evening! The restaurant was able to seat us 30 mins before our reservation offering us time to start a slower than usual paced dining experience. Our sever Brandon was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was able to describe menu selections in detail and went a step further to ask if we had preferences (both for good, sides and drinks!) His pairing recommendations were spot on as we're just side/veggie substitutions. He also checked on us throughout the meal. Very attentive. Don't let the limited menu fool you. Watertable has a locally sourced menu and yup! noteworthy cocktail and wine menu. I recommend you Explore them both. To start....The whipped ricotta and marinated mushrooms was a delicious contrast of warm and cold. What a yummy surprise! The main event...Hubs had a petite filet with sides of mashed potatoes and roasted Brussel sprouts. It was plenty for his man-sized appetite. Any his steak cooked to perfection! I quite enjoyed the 6 oz salmon in a white wine butter sauce. Save room for carbs - as the bread and mashed potatoes are BOTH killer and worth it. We had no room for dessert. And do t forget to have your parking validated. Tell your server if you're a HB resident for a nice surprise. Will we return? Ahhh yes, please! Awesome experience at a wonderful property. Thank you Brandon for your service and expertise. Well done. read more

Amazing food and ambiance.. been here for breakfast and dinner. Both are perfect but pricy, bring a credit card. ( Never mind I guess since COVID everything is cashless lol.) Breakfast on weekends can be buffet or off the menu. I always order off the menu for the unique flavor combinations presented here. (I'm not really a buffet guy in general lol. I have been known to sneak a muffin or marcona almond though :) Be sure to get --Maybe not in one sitting but -- get the salmon bowl, get lemon blueberry pancakes get the quiche, get the rancheros, get the coffee as Americano not drip. Sit outside. Thank your weight staff. They work really hard and have been here for years. read more

Watertable is one of our favorite spots in Huntington Beach. The outdoor dining area is gorgeous and the wait staff is excellent. The breakfast brunch is also incredible with several stations to choose from. Dinner is also great - everything from shared plates to Osso Buco and Chilean Sea Bass. The bar also has some very fancy drink options. read more

Do you have celiac sage dishes and can you seat large parties?
You can reserve the chefs table. I believe it seats 10-12 people and you can slide the doors shut for full privacy or leave them open to enjoy the atmosphere. As far as celiac safe meals I believe the Parsnip and Sweet Potato Soup honeycomb tuile,… Read more
Do you deliver?
Delivery for room service but do not recommend. It is best you are there. It seems they are less concern of ppl offering to be delivered. But if you're there, they would do a better job when preparing and serving the food.
Do they validate parking for dinner?
Yes they do, as I have experienced. However there is a minimum amount you must spend at the restaurant if you are yo get the reduced rate parking. When I received my validation after spending the appropriate amount, my parking was gratis (free).
One of the reviews said they did the buffet, is there a brunch buffet?
Yes on the weekend
What is dress code for breakfast and dinner?
Casual for breakfast/brunch. Business casual for dinner.
Is it kid friendly, worth it at its price and delicious?
It is kid friendly! My husband and I always have a hard time finding a nice place to celebrate special occasions in with good menu for our son. Ruth's Chris was yummy but the ambiance is too uptight for young ones! This place has a comfortable… Read more
