I recently came for the first time. I've been meaning to try for awhile but finally made it over to…read morecelebrate Father's Day. Since I was coming on a holiday, I did make reservations online. It's valet parking only here. However, if you come at lunch time, the valet parking is complimentary. The restaurant has a gorgeous and spacious patio that's dog friendly. It's considered outdoors with the fresh air of the opened windows but it honestly feels like indoors since it's completely shaded and decorated as if you were indoors. You get the best of both worlds! The food is on the more expensive side. I love that they provide complimentary bread rolls and butter which are delicious. The entrees we ordered were decent. We ordered a variety and the ciopinno was probably my favorite . The highlight of our meal though was their seafood tower which has a variety of raw/coooked seafoods such as oysters, clams, crab, shrimp, snail, etc. All in all, this is a great restaurant and definitely somewhere I'd consider going for special occasions.

Unfortunately, we were already running late to our reservation when we got pulled over by CHP. I called the restaurant to let them know, and the hostess was so kind and understanding. She told us not to worry and held our reservation. When we arrived, they had a booth ready for us just as requested, which I really appreciated. The bread was absolutely delicious, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the fish was excellent. I've also had the oysters here before, and they are some of my favorites, even though we didn't order them this time. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. Even with the stressful start to our evening, they made our date night special. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Water Grill!

Inside is spacious. Loved the Aqua colored glass chandelier. They have a great cocktail menu! I wish I had time to enjoy a drink because they looked good when I saw a waiter delivering drinks to other tables. Our server, Abbie, was gracious and friendly. She was attentive to us and to all her other tables. Never skipped a beat on what part of the meal her customers were at (ordering, mid-meal, refills, dessert, paying, etc.) We ordered: A bowl of clam chowder - creamy and flavorful. Good amount of clams. A side salad - my hubby and I couldn't agree on dressing so Abbie brought both for us on the side. 3-piece fish and chips - crispy fish batter, not too thick. It's mahi-mahi so it's meatier than the typical cod. Fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Doused all of this goodness with their malt vinegar. We recommended this place to the other water polo families. Hopefully they stopped by too. I will definitely return! Thank you.

We got the lobster mac & cheese, fish & chips, and 4oz lobster roll. The Mac & Cheese was good, but I didn't like the choice of the noodle. The pasta was a bit undercooked, but the lobster was good. The batter for the fish and chips is so good, but the fish was a bit dry. I would def come back for the lobster roll. Lobster was fresh and the brioche bun was buttery! The lobster roll was def the high light! The ambiance was nice! Def a cute date spot for couple to go on a night out. Service was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant was.

We went around 6pm on a Saturday. Our wait time was around 1.5 hours…read more We were at a location in Garden Grove last week around close time and that experience wasn't as good. But the food and customer service received at this location was incredible. We ordered the fried catfish basket, the whole sha-bang medium shrimp and corn and potatoes. The shrimp was bomb. We always order a xxx sauce on the side so that everyone in the party can enjoy the meat without it being too spicy. The catfish comes out piping hot. The fries are always on point. The service was also on point. We had people checking in on us a good amount of times and grabbing what we needed quickly.

We put our name down on the Yelp waitlist and the wait for a party of 2 was maybe 90 min. Essentially if you go anytime on the weekend expect to wait at least an hour. There is no such thing as "off times" on the weekend. Evidently Boiling Crab is still as popular as ever. We didn't mind waiting. Once our number was next we were promptly seated. First thing I noticed was how great the service was from the host, to the waiters, to the helpers. We ordered shrimp and Cajun fries. Shrimp is $18/pound and it is the only seafood you can order by the half-a-pound. After ordering the food came out in less than 10 min. Besides the initial wait, everything else about the dining experience was very efficient, which tells me the long waits are not a fault to slow service. I think they are being as efficient as they can. The dining experience was pleasant. They supply bibs, gloves, etc for easy clean-up. There are TVs showing sports. We were out of there at $45 for two. A pretty good deal considering the unique dining experience. I can see why Boiling Crab remained popular after all these years.

The newest addition to the family DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!…read more Started off with their seasonal Velvet Rose cocktail and it was deliciously strong (but not overbearing). Then went with our server's recommendation and got the spicy shrimp wontons, the rib bone soup and the picanha fried rice. Everything had so much flavor and they all were co complimenting; it was the perfect bite every time no matter what I shoved my chopped sticks in. Was kind of quiet on the Wednesday night I was there but very cute and casual which was exactly what I was looking for after a long day at work. Finished off with a lychee martini and called it a night BUT will most certainly be back to try more (heard a lot of good things about the Saltado fry dishes).

The service is just as good here. Friendly and the food came out quickly. When you walk into this side of the building - you get a hint of a lot of garlic. Maybe not a thing for others, but it lead the way for me. They have a bar and seating inside and outside. Not as big as you would think, but utilized the space perfectly. 100% ribeye garlic noodles and pear salad is a must have. I would recommend to others and would come back for more

They have Spanish menu items, several tapas and main dishes. We got 4 wines and both loved with whites and reds!

The tapas are perfect for sharing, with standout flavors that make it hard to pick favorites, and the paella is worth the wait. The atmosphere is lively and energetic without feeling pretentious, making it a great spot for a date night, celebration, or dinner with friends. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped guide us through the menu. Chef Amar Santana's influence is clear throughout the restaurant, and it's easy to see why Vaca has built such a strong reputation. Not the cheapest meal in Costa Mesa, but the quality, creativity, and overall experience make it well worth it. I'll definitely be back.
