    Soggy calamari, sent it back and the second one was still under cooked. I also went ahead and ordered the spiney lobster. It would have been absolutely bland and a waste of money if I hadn’t paired it with the over charred Mac and cheese. Overall not worth the dollar amount spent on a mediocre meal. The service was top notch and I appreciated their attentiveness but will not be going back.

    I have been wanting to try this place for sometime. We had reservations for an hour before closing since we had a prior engagement. We got seated right away. However, they ran out of one of the side dishes but it took longer than it should have to be notified so I could choose another option. At that point we decided to take our food to go because it had been 50 minutes. It was not busy at that time. We got home and My husband’s steak and lobster were over cooked.

    Two of our dishes were fantastic. One of our dishes was absolute trash. Avoid the scallops they are clearly frozen at some point or just really bad quality. Trying to wrap my head around how the scallops can be so bad and the Seabass can be so good.

    Water Grill in Denver was a disappointment. The food was just Ok. Our sea bass was way over salted and the pasta that it came with was cold. The calamari was ok but one of the sauces had a bad taste to it— like an off fishy taste. 🤢We have been to the Water Grills in CA and love them, so we had high expectations for the Denver location.
