   This was not a good night. The kitchen was the problem. The appetizer was served cold and undercooked. We sent it back to get another one that was hot but undercooked. Next, the shrimp came out undercooked. We sent sent it back, they reheated it, it came back nd it still tasted wrong. The salmon was excellent. This was not our first time there so we were disappointed. The service is very stiff and no personality on any of our visits, We assume they are trained to be that way.

   There was a long delay in delivery our appetizer to our table (raw oysters) We hadn't complained, but the house manger determined it and comps up the appetizer. Was very generous of her to do so

   My wife and I were visiting Denver from Atlanta and decided to try Water Grill, and I’m so glad we did. This place has great ambiance and vibe, reminding me of Superior Seafood in New Orleans. The mussels were the best that my wife and I had ever had, plump and juicy. My wife and I split the wedge salad, and she had the Shrimp Scampi for her entree, while I had the lobster roll Connecticut style (warm). We would have ordered the caramel bread-pudding but were totally stuffed. Our server Alley (Alexandria) was very attentive as was the rest of the wait staff. We’ve decided that this is an all time favorite of ours and are looking forward to returning to Denver in the years to come, and our next visit.

   We had a very delightful evening on a Wednesday at Water Grill. The relatively new manager was so welcoming and funny, and we enjoyed the evening so much. Our server was great too, and the food is excellent. It is expensive to eat out, and the total experience made it worth every penny.

    Great service from start to finish. We waited at the bar until our table was ready and the bar team were great. At our table we were mainly looked after by Simon and Kevin and they were both brilliant. The food was really good, oysters were amazing. All round a great experience and if we come back to Denver we would definitely visit again.

    Fresh and delicious seafood. Service was top notch, thank you Thomas for your attention to details and brisk service! The manager was a delight and assisted in pre bussing at least twice, I loved that touch! Overall, a wonderful experience and made my boyfriend’s birthday a success! We will definitely be back and will always recommend!

    Brian and the team, do an outstanding job of taking care of diners. We were a party of five and Nathan provided a smooth, professional delivery of menu discussion, from cocktails to desserts. The shellfish starter, included stone crab, oysters, scallops, sea urchin and Alaskan crab nuggets, that we haven’t seen anywhere else in Denver…excellent start followed by Spiney Lobster, Sea Bass and the scallops with cauliflower….all well prepared and truly delicious, Highly recommend the Water Grill for lunch or dinner.

    Wow! I am so excited that a fresh seafood restaurant of this caliber has been established in the Lodo area of Denver! I am from Long Island, New York, and grew up on fresh seafood and shellfish. The Water Grill has got it 100% right. I love how they add the details and show the locations where each seafood has been sourced. The oyster bar showcases a selection of ten different oysters from both the west and east coasts. My wife ordered the fish and chips (cod in local IPA beer batter). It was cooked perfectly. The breading was super fluffy. I ordered the Mexican Swordfish with spaghetti squash, olives, and tapenade. Not too sweet, perfectly savory. My only negative observation, the wines were super marked up. I publish Wine Country International(r) magazine and am a certified sommelier in the Court of Master Sommeliers. So you can say that I am a wine expert after twenty years. The wine markup is roughly 4 X which is the trend lately, folks. It is not just at the Water Grill. It is happening at most restaurants in Denver and Boulder. I blame this on the wine distributors trying to look like heroes to their customers. I think that restaurants should consider price points. There should be more wines on the wine list priced below $50. With this said, I will be returning to the Water Grill on a regular basis. Their food, flavors and staff are exceptional!

    Michael was awesome and a joy to have as a server. Not sure what happened in the kitchen last night considering the restaurant was not very busy at all. All the steaks and the crab came out over cooked. Still very tasty and not so much that they were not enjoyed. We just expect the a restaurant that boasts its seafood and grilled food they would have the best of those two things. We appreciated the wine and food selection. Michael made excellent suggestions and was accommodating to our friend with an allergy. We will give it another try on a weekend and hope to see water grill’s reputation shine.

    We always enjoy the food. Unfortunately, every time we go the service is poor, takes forever to get cocktails and water. The waiters are all very nice though. We will not be going back. It’s not worth it based on the expense.

    It took 30 to get first drinks. Another hour to get food. Another 30 after dishes were taken to get our desserts ordered. Part of the food tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp for 12 hours. Management knew our food was late and did not care. I have been to Watergrill on multiple occasions and this visit ruined it. A $500 bill for an Applebees experience. Someone needs to take over the management and fix this restaurant.

    When our Uber started to pass the building I thought, “Oh I wish that’s where we were going!” as it looked so beautiful through the windows. I was delighted when the car stopped and we were at Water Grill. And it did not disappoint. Fabulous ambience, superb service from Mike, a menu filled with so many wonderful things. But how we regretted our late lunch earlier in the day - we wanted to eat so many things. Wound up splitting the clam chowder completely with in shell clams. The lobster roll was so full of lobster and the roll was perfectly grilled. The accompanying fries were hand cut and nicely brown and crisp. The grilled octopus was wonderfully charred around the edges and tender inside. Rolls are fluffy with a crisp salty top. If we lived in Denver, we’d go back again and again. Word of advice: please go hungry so you can eats lots!

    It would be difficult to find a better assortment and quality of seafood in the Denver metro area. Everything looks, smells and tastes fresh. it’s definitely on the pricey side, but worth the splurge. The raw bar seafood platters are huge and are a great way to taste a variety of different shellfish. The Chilean Sea Bass was succulent and perfectly flavored and our companion said the shrimp scampi, with homemade noodles was the best she’s ever had. Great choice for a special occasion.
