Tucked away in the vibrant city of Costa Mesa, Water Grill is a top spot for seafood lovers. Celebrated for its fresh catches and elegant ambiance, this upscale restaurant, just a couple of blocks from the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and South Coast Plaza, delivers a dining experience that blends culinary excellence with a lively, welcoming vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1989, Water Grill has been a staple in the Southern California dining scene. The upscale-yet-relaxed restaurant sources fresh seafood from local and international waters, ensuring a diverse and top-tier menu. The Costa Mesa location continues this tradition, drawing in locals and visitors alike with its various seafood from Australia to the Baja coast and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ocean’s Bounty on a Plate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The menu at Water Grill is a testament to the ocean’s bounty. The restaurant offers a wide array of fresh seafood dishes, from raw bar selections to expertly prepared entrees. Signature dishes include Wild Alaskan Halibut, Pacific Swordfish, and a robust selection of oysters sourced from the best regions around the globe. The raw bar features an impressive assortment of oysters, clams, mussels, and shrimp, served fresh and chilled to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the adventurous palate, seasonal offerings provide a chance to indulge in the finest catches of the season. The chefs at Water Grill create innovative dishes that highlight the natural flavors of the seafood, using techniques ranging from classic grilling to sophisticated sous-vide preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nautical Elegance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The interior of Water Grill Costa Mesa reflects a nautical theme without being overbearing. Warm wood tones, elegant lighting, and tasteful maritime decor create a sophisticated yet relaxed environment. The spacious dining area accommodates both intimate dinners and larger gatherings, making it an ideal spot for any occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Touch: My Go-To Spot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For me, Water Grill Costa Mesa has been a cherished spot where I’ve enjoyed countless memorable moments with friends and colleagues over the years. It’s perfect for business lunches, where the refined atmosphere and delicious menu make every meeting relaxed and enjoyable. Before catching a show at the nearby Segerstrom Center for the Arts or South Coast Repertory, I’ve often indulged in dinner or a drink to set the stage for a nice evening at the theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Water Grill isn’t just about special occasions or business meetings. Sometimes, it\u2019s about the simple pleasure of enjoying a solo burger at the lively bar while watching the game. The restaurant’s two bars are always bustling with energy, making it a great spot to unwind and soak in the vibrant ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just yesterday, my colleagues and I had an exceptional dining experience that exemplifies why Water Grill is one of my go-to spots. I started with a Bristol Street cocktail, a refreshing blend of vodka, strawberries, lemon, and tarragon served on the rocks. For appetizers, I savored the Bluefin Toro Tartare, beautifully complemented by green tea nori, warm sushi rice, a quail egg, and sweet soy sauce. I was also treated to an off-menu item: the Whole Fish Pink Bream Ceviche, a vibrant dish showcasing the chef’s creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my main course, I indulged in the Wild Columbia River King Salmon, perfectly cooked and paired with heirloom carrots and vadouvan curry butter. To celebrate International Burger Day, I also enjoyed a Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger, topped with caramelized chipotle mayonnaise and served with crispy french fries. Each dish was a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
