Located on Grand Avenue, Water Grill has been a hotspot for Los Angeles seafood lovers since 1989. Lauded by Zagat, Dine LA, and the Tasting Table, among others, the restaurant has served as a culinary incubator for two of Los Angeles' most acclaimed chefs: Michael Cimarusti and David LeFevre. Water Grill opened a second location, on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, in 2013 to similar acclaim, with local publications LAist and LA Weekly making special note of the new location's more casual atmosphere and ocean views.
Though grounded in classic seafood dishes such as fish and chips, the menu at Water Grill also encompasses more exotic fare; the restaurant's sea urchin garnered acclaim in a Discover Los Angeles article about the best places to eat uni in Los Angeles. The restaurant also offers a variety of choices at its raw bar, including stingray from Maryland and rincon de ballenas from Baja California, Mexico. Water Grill's entrees include Maine lobster, king crab, sea scallops, halibut, swordfish, and a wide range of other fish and shellfish prepared with flair by expert chefs.
