    We've been to Water Grill before. The food is always delicious. I had the Clam Chowder for the first time and it is truly the best Clam Chowder I have ever had. Plan on ordering it every time we go there. The octopus, scallops, swordfish, Mexican sea bass, crab cakes, all very good. The desserts are all made at the restaurant. We had the fruit sorbets - Yum!

    Cesar was an amazing advocate for us. We had a great brunch free of allergens. What an asset he is to the restaurant. The food was delicious. I had avocado toast with seeds and an over medium egg on top. I also enjoyed a fresh squeezed juice of ginger and turmeric along with a half dozen oysters. My spouse had an omelette with delicious little potatoes and a Bloody Maria. The space is gorgeous. Thank you for a lovely brunch. Wendy
