"The Water Grill is one of those restaurants that basically exists for parents in town and financial people who talk loudly. But if that’s who you’re rolling in with, the downtown seafood spot somehow always gets the job done. The space is big and fancy, but after a few hours of discussing mortgage rates in Pasadena, things get extremely dull. All the more reason to be thankful for the no-corkage policy on every first bottle of wine to make it all go faster." - brant cox
