Like its older sibling of the same name in downtown L.A., the Water Grill in Santa Monica is a seafood lover's paradise. Huge towers of raw and chilled shellfish are par for the course, served up in a large convivial space dominated by wood and leather. And there are plenty of other delicious cooked choices on the menu, ranging from an ahi tuna and avocado poke to a wild Mexican Mahi Mahi entree that will knock your socks off. Other wild choices include swordfish, halibut and sea scallops; you name it and the Water Grill probably has it on the menu. Plan a visit when the Spiny Lobster is in season in SoCal (October to March) and you'll discover a melt-in-your-mouth treat that makes you want to come back the next day and have more!
