Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week | Eater LA

"I was surprised by a parsnip and sweet potato soup that felt like fall in a bowl: creamy, drizzled with pumpkin seed oil, punctuated with bee pollen, and topped with a honeycomb tuile — a memorable, refined soup served in a family-friendly fine-dining setting with stellar service." - Eater Staff

The food is so flavorful and delicious! Loved the garden benedict - ordered it most of the time when we stayed at the Hyatt hotel. The zesty lemon blueberry pancakes were so yum and fluffy! Tried the french toast and smith fresh whole omelette and both were amazing. The service was great!

Watertable is cozy, intimate, and basically everything you want in a great restaurant. But throw in their must-try Creamer Potato Cakes and it’s game over. Honestly, every time I eat them, I’m shocked all over again… How are they that good?!?

Totally recommend eating on the patio if the weather permits. Breakfast was delicious. The mimosas come in tons of flavors. Very good and not overpowering in the flavor.

The Short Rib Hash is very good. If you’re looking for breakfast that’s definitely their go to. The SoCa lacked flavor other than Salt. They definitely were heavy handed with the sodium. The Bloody Mary cost as much as the meal and was lack luster. Honestly one of the worst I’ve had. The Pete’s coffee that was suggested by the server wasn’t anything special either. Overall if you’re going, stick to the short rib. They seem to be a one trick pony.

The Watertable restaurant at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach is our go to when staying there. The staff is really nice and the food is consistently delicious. We really enjoy sitting inside and outside near a fire pit. Make sure you get your valet ticket validated so the total is only $10. Great atmosphere.

Great service, wonderful staff and location. Everything looks really beautiful but the food itself was bland. I thought it was me so I tried again the next day, bland. Presentation was magnificent, just wish everything had a bit more flavor.

Had breakfast today, Easter Sunday 2025. The Lox & Bagel was delightful. Every ingredient was fresh and high quality, the arugula, the pickle, the onions, and most importantly, the smoked salmon. The bagel and cream cheese hung out in the background and didn't overpower the other tastes. The side of guac was just right and completed the meal. The plating was top notch ... great job, chef(s)!

I wanted the food to taste as good as the atmosphere and location was. We stayed at the resort and took our kids to dinner here during vacation. The staff was incredible, drinks really good, great ambiance. However the food just left some to be desired. The plating looks delicious but the actual flavors fell flatter than the dynamic look. Maybe more salt or acid or something to bring out some more depth. It also wasn’t just one dish, it was across the board.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach as Globalists and had breakfast included in our stay. Our complimentary value was $32 per person for four people and it was more than enough to satiate our appetites for breakfast. For coffee, we had the: - Lavendar Honey Latte: Really tasty lavender notes. A bit too sweet, but to be expected. I regret not trying Pete's Cup Cappuccino, but will next time! For the benedicts, we had the: - Short Rib Hash: Delicious morsels of short rib that had a fantastic seasoning. They were super tender. - SoCa: The fried chicken had a perfect crunch and the cornbread waffle was super tasty, albeit a little filling. For the kids: - Smores French Toast: Super sweet and the kids loved it but it was messy! - Brûléed Oatmeal: Our son loves oatmeal and demanded to have it. Very pretty oatmeal dish, but way too sweet for our liking. It was fun to eat, though! We decided to try some more stuff for later since we were only staying one night: - Brioche French Toast: It had matcha butter cream this time which was super decadent. - Zesty Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes: The honeycomb butter was a cool addition that piqued our kids interest. All in all a solid breakfast with inventive dishes. While everything was a bit too sweet for our tastes, we still enjoyed it! Also, props to our server for dealing with our large order!

Only reason this wasn't a 5 star was because service was lacking. Our server was not the quickest or fastest. Always had to find someone to help with something. The food was really delicious and flavorful! We ordered 4 dishes and the BEST was the SoCa!!! It's a must! I also really liked the short ribs as it was a very flavorful dish! Parking is validated and costs $10 for 3 hours!

We stayed at the hotel and wanted to stop in for breakfast. They had a wait time at around 915AM so we waited around 20 minutes to be sat. The system they have going is a bit bizarre in the front. I came up to show the text that we had our table ready and they said they just need to check in someone onto the wait list, but then proceeded to sit the person instead of us, who had been waiting for the text and got sat? All the people who were waiting in the "waiting" list line got sat before we did after we waited double the time. Once we were sat, we decided on the buffet to save time. Some of the items were great but some of the items were pretty bland or meh. The breakfast sausages were great but the bacon was just ok and the omelettes were tiny and had a weird aftertaste. The breakfast breads were dry and there was no French toast or waffles. The donut hole bread pudding was bland as well but I did like the tomato spinach quiche. I wish they were more clear that when you ask for an iced coffee, it's going to be an extra charge on top of the buffet - and its half the size of a Starbucks coffee but for $6.5 each. Overall I would pass on the breakfast here.

I came here again for breakfast and as expected, it took a long time to be seated. However, this time our food was not delivered until we asked the server and it turns out that something had been missed and so we ended up getting out the food when the restaurant was closing. Next time I'm in the area I'll plan on doing Uber eats or walk to a nearby restaurant unless I have ample time to spare.

We spent a night at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach a few weeks back and had two meals at Watertable. We went for dinner out of sheer convenience, as there were two small children in our party and the restaurant was basically in the lobby. Dinner was much better than it had to be, and we were happy to learn that breakfast, included with our stay, would be in the same place. We had dinner indoors and breakfast on the patio, and both spaces were quite pleasant, though I'd give an edge to the indirect but still lovely ocean view. The interior was attractive, calm, and comfortable. There was a guy playing guitar as Friday night entertainment. He was good and the kids loved him. The vibe was family-friendly but nice, with alcohol. We had a couple bottles of Duckhorn Chardonnay with dinner, and there was also a tempting cocktail list. Service was great at both meals. The food was fantastic. Dinner started with soft tear-apart dinner rolls with butter and salt, and we got a few appetizers for the table, all of them sized for sharing. The creamer potato cakes were satisfying, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, served with truffle dip, snipped chives, and cracked pepper. The whipped ricotta and marinated mushrooms made a substantial, savory spread, with rosemary, Aleppo pepper, confit garlic, thyme, and grilled olive bread. Ahi tuna crudo came with leche de tigre, Aleppo crunch, apple slaw, and orange marmalade. My favorite starter might been a salad: the smashed cucumber salad with arugula, purple watercress, watermelon radish, whipped herb feta, dill honey vinaigrette, and candied pistachios. Lots of crunch and flavor. I shared two entrées with my mom and they were both delicious. The Watertable burger was a definite winner, a juicy beef patty with black garlic aioli, arugula, Emmenthal cheese, crispy pancetta, and tomato jam, served with house cut fries and jalapeño dip. For our second entrée, we went with the "your menu" option, where you pick your own protein, cooking method, sauce, and side. We went with Chilean sea bass sautéed with white butter sauce and a side of roasted golden beats with pistachio romesco, orange gastrique, and beet chips. The kids ate well, too, dining on grilled cheese and chicken tenders. My older boy refused the tomato soup that came with his grilled cheese, which he otherwise devoured. I had some, and it was classic and super tasty. The boys ate chocolate ice cream for dessert while the adults shared a slice of lemon meringue cheesecake with lemon curd, toasted meringue, macerated berries, almond bark, and mixed berry Grand Marnier coulis. Decadent and tangy. Breakfast was excellent, with the added benefit of being complimentary, thanks to my mom's Hyatt status. There was a buffet, but we opted to order from the a la carte menu, which had more appealing options. My mom and I shared this meal, too, getting the lox and bagel and the SoCa Benedict. The lox and bagel was serviceable if not a standout, with dill caper cream cheese, heirloom tomato, lemon oil, avocado relish, tossed arugula, and shaved red onion. The Benedict was superb, with fried chicken, maple slaw, poached eggs, and jalapeño bacon Hollandaise on a dense, buttery cornbread waffle. As for my boys, they absolutely loved their chocolate chip pancakes. A sweet start to my big kid's fifth birthday. We had a lot of fun at the Hyatt Regency and plan to go back for more low-key family trips in the coming years. I'm glad Watertable is such a solid restaurant. It's an easy spot with kid's menus and quality food and drink for grown-ups. I'll bet we hit it a couple times whenever we visit.

Joanna is an excellent services who checked on us multiple times, was kind, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is very good. Plated nicely and yummy! Breakfast - fingerling potatoes, bacon, scrambled eggs, pancake (side order). The potatoes are flavorful with grilled onions, excellent quality bacon and ham.

Fantastic food, service, ambiance, everything here from start to finish was excellent for a frazzled and intense family with two young kids. Normally we avoid hotel food, but given we had parked quite far away, and had two kids that were ready to actually eat their parents for breakfast, we came here for two breakfasts in a row while on our mini vacation. Staff (a different server each day) were extremely accommodating and understanding with our ornery kiddos. Meals came out quickly, with photo-ready presentations. Over our two meals here we had a hefty omelet (fairly customizable), the acai bowl (a bit different than normal, but really tasty and fresh), an absurdly sweet French toast, nice n fluffy pancakes, and two well-made matcha lattes. There is a buffet too; we didn't order this but from the little we saw it looked solid. Outside heating is available for the cool mornings. It's a little pricey (not included in our standard room), but about what I'd expect for top-notch service with an ocean view and excellent service.

Had a wonderful experience last night. Donna was our server and she was amazing. Everyone there is so friendly and attentive, including the blonde hostess, who let us sit at a larger table even though we were a party of 2 so we wouldn't be all cramped. There was a nice ambiance to the place, not too busy and not empty - 7pm reservation on a Wednesday. Meal starts with complimentary warm bread with sea salt and a side of butter. It did not disappoint and we could have skipped the flatbread. I must premise that I love all things burrata so my eyes immediately went to the burrata and tomato salad. Refreshing and delicious. Chilean sea bass was recommended as the best item on the menu so I went with that and was quite happy with it. I would prefer less mashed potatoes and more grilled veggies but that's just personal preference. I ordered the geisha's blessing that included coconut, gin and strawberry. Small and frothy. Was okay, but nothing exceptional. He ordered Jalisco water which wasn't bad either but I'd probably skip the cocktails. Too full for dessert but beautiful location and great place to walk around afterward to enjoy the scene.

I have always liked this breakfast place , I've been there more than 20 times already. Unfortunately, last time might be my last visit. The waitress falsely accused us of lying when we told her she had charged us for an extra coffee. It was very unprofessional and not nice. I'm disappointed, as I used to really enjoy coming here...

Service, food, and ambiance were all top notch for me. We sat outside and had the heat lamps on and it was nice and toasty with a view! Service was attentive, Ricky was great, and able to accommodate all my requests. We even took his menu recommendations and that did not disappoint. I ordered the ricotta and mushroom appetizer and it was amazing! I would even order a second order to take it to go cause I enjoyed it so much. The garlic was a nice touch as well. Entrees, we had the sea bass and branzino and both were delicious. Fish was fresh and flaky! I would absolutely visit here again for another great meal.

I'm way late in posting this review but I was just thinking of Mother's Day and remembering what a great meal and experience I had at Watertable last year! A mom friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a spa and dinner the night before Mother's Day and Watertable didn't disappoint. The dinner time ambiance was so calm and relaxing with live music and nice candlelight. Our server was great and everything we ordered was delicious. My friend can't have dairy and he was very careful to make appropriate recommendations and modify her order. Not a bad moment in the entire experience and I highly recommend going here for a special occasion! Be sure to make a reservation.

A memorable experience at Watertable. A beautiful restaurant in Huntington Beach. I'll start with the negative. The room was cold. They sat us close to a door to the patio and kept it open. We asked our server if he could close it, and he did. Our server was Bulent. He was very attentive and nice. 5 Stars for him!!! Food: Old Fashioned Drinks Olive Tapenade Hamachi Crudo Bone Marrow Pear Salad Tiger Prawns Lamb Chops Orange Almond Dessert The highlight was the Bone Marrow. It was prepared perfectly with mushrooms, madeira, grilled sour dough bread, and parsley. Best combination ever!!! All the other dishes were good. I wouldn't order the Prawns again. My friends enjoyed the lamb chops. Overall, it was a beautiful experience, and the food was tasty.

I came here on a weekday with friends for breakfast and got completely pampered by the staff and quality food. I ordered the brûlée oats and a side of bacon with fresh pineapple juice and a lavender oat latte. The oats had some of the tastiest buttery granola on top and the coconut cream was light and fresh! So good I will be dreaming about this. The pineapple juice was vibrant and freshly made. The latte's presentation was so pretty and very lightly flavored. I want to come back and try more of the menu next time I'm in town. It was busy but the staff handled it smoothly and food arrived to the table relatively quickly for how fresh everything tasted. If the weather is nice I recommend sitting outside near the fountain and enjoying the sunshine. Seeing the ocean view is guaranteed to make your food taste even better.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed an amazing dinner here last night after a day of being pampered at the spa. Brandon was our server and greeted us with a cheerful smile and an excitement about the menu. We split the hamachi crudo which was delicious! The fish was thinly sliced and topped with a slice of radish and jalapeño in a fruit sauce! Melt in your mouth goodness. From there we enjoyed the whipped ricotta and wild mushrooms! Holy wow!!! It was so darn good. It came with chunks of roasted garlic and toast to dip, slather, and simply devour. If you like mushrooms I highly recommend trying this dish. For dinner we split the petite filet. It was cooked perfectly with a nice pink throughout. The steak was melt in your mouth quality- like butter. It was served alongside mashed potatoes and asparagus. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back! Servers and busboys worked to keep our spirits after glasses filled and our table maintained.

I haven't been here for a year and the quality of the food changed so bad, including the service. I usually do either room service or dine in, but recently I did room service. The first biggest disappointment is, certian foods cannot not be ordered. Personal didn't give me a reason or what type of food but for sure one of the food I was really wanting was the Bone Marrow. Did not get a chance to get that and I was will to do 2-3 orders (sad). The most disappointing was the Lamb chops. It was very very small than usual, dry, and blandly seasoned. I did two orders for myself and for my daughter. We both love the Lamb but that night, the experience was so bad, we didn't bother to finish it. So overall quality of experience was a one . I don't understand the restrictions on certian food to be ordered. Next time, I rather go to an actual restaurant to eat quality that is good enough to bring back to the hotel and eat for the next day. Not going to go back or order room service. I felt that the people that do room service are less of a priority.

The food at the watertable is incredible. The lemon blueberry pancakes I'm particular were absolutely perfect though so sweet we ordered some for the table to share, they were very dessert like. Their honeycomb butter is very good as well. The atmosphere is great, lots of comfortable seating with indoor and outdoor options, looking right out at the ocean. The service is also the best, very fast friendly staff hear.

The potato appetizer was super good. The rest of the food was honestly just okay. In our party of 6, the people who got fish really liked it although I ordered the chicken and it was really salty and overloaded with butter. With the high price point, I definitely expected better. Unfortunately my boyfriend and I got sick to our stomachs for several days after eating here so we will definitely will be skipping next time.

This review is long overdue. I absolutely love this place. The food and service are Exceptional!! My steak is always exquisite, medium rare, melts in your mouth, cooked to perfection each and every time, dirty martinis with blue cheese are superb. The ambiance is relaxing and romantic. This has become one of my favorite restaurants. One of my dearest best friends introduced me to this Amazing place! I am thankful and appreciate, that she brings me here, every year for my birthday.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Huntington Beach. We stay here at the hotel so it makes it that much better. During our stay we average about a meal a day here so I have had most of the dinner and breakfast menu Service is always great. Outdoor and indoor seating is fantastic. Their fire tables and heating keep you warm outside and the decor is really done well. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you are close by give it a try. It won't disappoint.

We had a lovely dinner at Watertable!! Completely recommend the meat/cheese tray appetizer and the salmon entree was beautiful! The coconut macaroon was also fantastic for dessert! Service was friendly and knowledgeable, making out party feel right at home and comfortable quickly. The restaurants atmosphere is classy yet homey -- if you have time before dining, you might enjoy a pre dinner drink in the"library" like sitting area. Would recommend visiting this restaurant even if not staying in hotel.

Came here for breakfast after staying a night at the Hyatt regency Huntington Beach. As a Hyatt Globalist breakfast is complimentary and pretty much anything on the menu was free game so I tried a few different things. The Huevos Rancheros with Beef Barbacoa was delicious, packed with beans and meat so if you're not a fan of beans, I'd stay away. The SoCa was really good too the chicken was flavorful and crunchy and the sauce on top was yummy. The cornbread waffle was different but it was a nice touch (ask for hot sauce). The Oreo waffle wedges were my favorite part very sweet and the Oreo crunch with whipped cream was the perfect dip. Service was really good, our waiter made sure we were constantly checked on and all the staff were delightful. I had fresher squeezed orange juice for a drink. The location has a nice decor too and old speakeasy vibe.

TL;DR: Some really standout dishes with great service - can't go wrong Nice dining option in the Hyatt Regency HB - really nice view from the outdoor tables Came after a beach and pool day for some early tapas-type dining and weren't disappointed Ordered: - Torched Hamachi app (3/5): the green sauce was yummy and the seafood was really fresh but the flavor profile just seemed to miss everyone at the table - Whipped Ricotta and Marinated Mushrooms app (4/5): the grilled olive bread is the winner here - the spread is good but lost the mushroom earthiness in the ricotta - Creamer Potato Cakes app (5/5): winning app! Just know there's a lot of potatoes - Shaved Fennel and Grilled Artichoke Salad (3/5): Unfortunate letdown compared to all the other veggies we were served. Missed the appetizing flavor memo that the rest of the dishes received :/ - Chilean Sea Bass (4.5/5 - MVP): the fish sea bass was really flaky but wish we got a better sear Side: - Grilled eggplant (5/5): perfectly seared and cooked eggplant strips topped with thin more-flavorful-than-hot chilis - Fries (2/5): fries were a heavy miss and only saved by the green dipping sauce - Roasted carrots (3/5): some of the thinner pieces were on the dry side - overall decent roast The meal had its highlight dishes but Cameron was yet another highlight with his great service, friendly attitude, and fun anecdotes! Definitely got some of great recs and tips for the best hotel experience Will try much more on the menu (talking to you, Tomahawk) next time we're here and looking for some more grub Cheers, Watertable and Cameron!

We had a lovely business networking dinner here. Located just off the beach, the outdoor patio gives a nice sea breeze and there are plenty of heaters if it gets cold. Our server was fantastic and their dirty gin martini is delicious. The crudo tasted fresh and delightful. We each ordered a steak and all parties were pleased. I would definitely go back again if staying in this area.

-- location -- inside the Hyatt. Front entrance is on Pacific View Ave. which is the same as the lobby entrance to the Hyatt. Maps will be confusing and lead you to the "front" on PCH which has no entrance. -- parking -- street parking on PCH or valet. $7 valet for under 3 hours with validation. Like $29 otherwise valet. -- menu -- concise menu of elevated American food. Lengthy menu of alcohol. Relatively short menu of cocktails. Nice Selection of desserts. They should offer complimentary bread and butter too. What we ordered: Shareable - seared scallops dish ($25) potato cake ($16) Both are yummy. Lovely presentation. Entree- 6 oz petite filet ($58) we asked for medium rare 8 oz prime New York ($51) we asked for medium 6 oz chicken ($35) 6 oz Chilean sea bass ($48) Olive oil cake ($12) 4 beers 1 mezcal grapefruit cocktail ($18) Overall great. The beefs were cooked as requested. My husband noted the chicken was rather small for a meal but good. The major comment from this meal was that the root vegetable that accompanied the sea bass was not cooked thoroughly. We noted this to our server who said they'd relay to the chef. Beers came in the original glass bottle. Cocktail was nice and presented with dried fruit. Olive oil cake was taken to go. They were sweet and added a candle to light for later because it was my moms bday. -- overall -- we had the option to sit inside or outside and chose outside. The outdoor seating is surrounded by the Hyatt and has the beach front so nearby. Very pleasant ambiance. And we were sat next to the heater which was helpful. They did not provide complimentary bread until we asked. It came out rather cold. Would have preferred it to be warm. Bathrooms located in the main lobby of the Hyatt. For an establishment like this, it's a good 4.5 rating. I was tempted to give 4 because of the bread and root vegetable part, but everything is tasty and enjoyable. The ambiance, service, and experience was positive too.

I've been to Watertable for both dinner and brunch. Dinner here is absolutely phenomenal. I came for a work party and got to try several appetizers, all of which were delicious. From the potatoes to the lamb lollipops, everything was a flavorful and quickly devoured. Even the fresh bread and butter was enough to write home about. For my main course, I ordered the sea bass and it did not disappoint. It was cooked perfectly and paired really nicely with the sauce that accompanied it. Because dinner was so good, I chose to come back for my birthday brunch. They do offer a buffet but we decided to order entrees off of the regular brunch menu. I ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes while my husband opted for the SoCa Benedict. Both were good, but we've both had better. The star of the pancakes was the honeycomb butter they came with. Otherwise, they tasted like lemon blueberry pancakes- not bad but nothing special. I tried my husband's Benedict and preferred that, but he thought it was just okay. Love the coziness of the restaurant and no complaints on service. I'm sure we'll be back soon for dinner!

This review is for the New Year's Eve 4-course dinner meal ($120 per person). It was nice they gave us complimentary champagne! We also ordered the Christmas Thyme cocktail, which didn't have a strong taste. I got the lamb chops, pear salad, Chilean sea bass, and the six degrees of chocolate cake. My bf got the scallops, butternut squash soup, elk loin, and coffee cake. The lamb chops and scallops were delicious. The lamb was quite tender and flavorful, although was a little burnt. The scallops were tender, and the sauce was strong. We had to remind our waitress about the bread. The bread was HUGE, and it was delicious when you dip in the lamb and scallops sauce. The pear salad was solid - I enjoyed the candied pecans, but personally didn't like the Roquefort cheese. I tried the butternut squash soup, and it was warm and rich. The Chilean sea bass was incredible! Super flaky and tender, although a little too salty. I tried my bf's elk loin, but wasn't a fan because it tasted dry and tough to me. The six degrees of chocolate cake was a little disappointing because it wasn't chocolatey enough for me. The cracker thing on top was the best part of the dessert. I also enjoyed the hazelnuts. We took the coffee cake to go Ambiance was so nice especially the outdoor views. It does get cold during winter time, and even though we asked our waitress twice for a heater close to us, we didn't get it. Service was a little slow - they were probably too busy on New Year's Eve. We read that parking was valet only so we opted for street parking.

A really quiet and relaxing brunch restaurant inside the Hyatt with $5 valet. If you sit outside, you have a clear view of Huntington Beach with lots of flowers and a fountain. They have a $36 buffet option on top of their brunch menu which looked good: scrambled eggs (and scrambled whites), seasonal vegetables, pastries, bagel and cereal station, small charcuterie, fruit, bacon, quiche, etc. Coffee and juice included. I have no self-control so I got the corned beef hash eggs Benedict which looks small but is surprisingly filling without being bloated. It was very tasty and the corned beef was more like a smoked brisket instead of minced. Not salty either, pretty healthy as far as hash goes. Orange juice was fresh squeezed. Our server was Christine/Kristine and she was very nice, checked on us often, cleared plates, and refilled waters. No complaints here. The decor inside was also very relaxing. Good for business and pleasure.

Wanted to avoid hotel breakfast but this was above average. Honey lavender had a great after taste and larger glass than usual. Two eggs anystyle was solid with chicken sausage and potatoes not dried out. Huervos rancheros was a surprise on how good it was with the salsa and all. It was tasty and not too much egg or beans, evenly layered out and all. Outdoor seating was nice but rained out. Go for outdoors if you can especially night time watching sunsets. Server was very social, he was friends it felt like with everyone, it rained out then sit at the bar.

One of my favorite places to get the branzino which is so amazing with the crispy flavorful skin. We loved all the food that came out everything tasted great and they also have outdoor seatings too for a romantic vibe. It's part of the hotel so easier to just valet park. One of my favorite restaurants in HB area.

Beautiful ambiance. The sea bass is wonderful- perfectly crispy. Cherry cheesecake dessert was amazing! The complimentary bread was very addicting! Very impressive spot for a date night/special occasion!

This restaurant is located in Hyatt Hotel, the architecture, fountain pool, plants, and overall atmosphere was gorgeous. The setting for this restaurant is a real selling point. Views out past the landscaped garden to the beach are glorious. The seating has several fire pits and low lighting giving a very relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here, and ordered the seabass, bone marrow, and salad, perfection! The service is excellent, and the outdoor dining views brought me so much happiness. Valet parking only but $7 for 3 hours is a great match with the view and food. We had an exceptional dining experience at Watertable and can't wait to return. Highly recommended for a memorable and delicious evening out!

Ricky and Frankie made our first time experience here a great one. They were attentive and professional. Enjoying this by the beach made it even better

Watertable is one of our favorite spots in Huntington Beach. The outdoor dining area is gorgeous and the wait staff is excellent. The breakfast brunch is also incredible with several stations to choose from. Dinner is also great - everything from shared plates to Osso Buco and Chilean Sea Bass. The bar also has some very fancy drink options.

Pull up to the Hyatt Regency valet. Let them take care of the car. Then... let Watertable take care of your appetite. You deserve it How'd I end up here? Decided to try something new for a Mother's Day dinner. It was gamble having never been here before prior to this evening. Rolling the dice on such a momentous occasion, some would say "Dang Mike you bold" LOL Could've gone wrong but compliments to the chef, the excellent crew of Watertable, it went oh so right! Review: The dinner was everything an excellent dinner experience should be for a mom who deserves the best! Wine selection: Excellent, vast Menu: Well curated appetizer options. Flavors did not conflict nor compete for palette. Steak which I ordered medium, was precisely medium. Service: Our waiter, was attentive and very well versed. Great communication, and pleasant to converse with. I also observed the surrounding guests enjoying the service of their waiters as well. I only wish I wrote this more soon. I can't recall his name, nor the specific names of the dishes. My apologies in advance for my subpar written review. Overall, Watertable gets the 5

I came here twice largely amused that at two different Hyatt Regencies separated by hundreds of miles there was Water's Table and Watertable. With such similarities I wanted to compare the one to the other and quickly discovered they are remarkably different restaurants. First time I visited I popped in the bar for a cocktail where I was greeted with professional indifference. It was a lovely bar, deep U shape with these high bar stools. The bartender took my drink order and then left me to it. The night was quiet, the service transactional professionalism, and there was little interest. the drink was solid and then I left because my hotel room was warmer in more ways than one. A few days later, immediately after checking out, I decided to eat breakfast here. With suitcase in hand I found the morning crew to be more welcoming. I was cheerily greeted by the hostess who sat me off the bar area in the middle of the room. Despite the central location and quite a few diners I found the noise level to be fantastic, never clearly hearing anything anyone else was saying. I ordered the eggs, potatoes, and sausage and it was delicious. Perfectly savory. The French 75 cocktail I ordered was wonderfully balanced. My waitress was more polite profession, but I again noted the overtly serious tone that seemed to be almost everywhere here. Lots of small, polite smiles. Still, a very good breakfast experience!

Celebrated our 27th Wedding Anniversary here. One of the best dining experiences we've had. The inside of the restaurant was awesome looking. It was a nice night, so we opted for outdoor dining since there were heat lamps. Great views and the large fish fountain noise was very soothing. Chef Adrian Lagoy's menu is one of the top I've tasted. The citrus ceviche was full of flavors with juicy pieces of seafood. The bone marrow is a must try when you dine here. The Demi glacé and mushrooms are a great complement to the marrow and bread. The filet and prime new york steaks were cooked to perfection. The garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. The asparagus was cooked perfect as well. Order an extra side of Demi Glacé. Dip slices of steaks in it...you won't be disappointed. The desserts were a great end to our dinner. We will definitely be back to try more. Cheers...

We stayed at the Hyatt regency and decided to try water table after numerous recommendations and so glad we did! It was just my husband and I and it felt like we ordered the whole menu! Out of everything we ordered, we loved the creamer potato cakes! We ordered the creamer potato cakes, butternut squash soup, hamachi Crudo, bone marrow, pan seared scallops, prime New York steak. Such a great date night, great views, and excellent service!

Wow, awesome service, and the food is delicious. My only ding is that they do not have salads as an entree, why not? The menu is a bit pricy, but I will let you be the judge. The adult beverages are made to perfection, and the place has a nice vibe.
