    Benny flight!
    Tiffany S.

    Came here for the benny (Eggs Benedict) flight, but we had a really underwhelming experience for a place with such good reviews! During our breakfast/brunch experience, we found out that they had a whole breakfast buffet (with an omelet station). No idea about the price point, but it looked pretty fresh and it was about 50/50 people ordering from the menu vs. buffet. Service was a bit slow but we weren't in a rush. It was so slow that our host took our drink orders - curious but appreciate her! The Watertable Bloody Mary was disappointing. The flavors just weren't there as it tasted watery. Also, I know a collins glass is traditional - but in 2026, we like our bloody marys in pint glasses with a few more toppings please. The Benedict flight was great - it came with the: Crab & Avocado (lump crab meat, crushed avocado, lime-cilantro hollandaise, micro cilantro, cracked pink peppercorns) Short Rib (Short Rib Hash, potatoes, carrots, red pearl onions, peppers, haricot vert, red pepper parsley hollandaise) SoCa (cornbread waffle, fried chicken, maple slaw, poached eggs, jalapeño bacon hollandaise) First, the poach on all the eggs was perfect and spot-on. Flavor-wise, Crab & Avocado was the best. I think this may be their top seller too as they got it down a science - the ratios, the crisp edge of the english muffin but soft interior. The Soca was interesting - more hushpuppy like to me. The short rib was very bland. We were staying at the hotel, otherwise I would not make a trip out here for breakfast/brunch. The evening might be a whole different vibe though as there's live music!

    Grilled Baby Lamb Chops*

    Bit sad writing this review because I've loved Watertable for years. I've been so many times and it's always been solid. This was my first visit back after a long break, and it was shockingly disappointing. Every dish was just...off. The charred Baja prawns were overcooked to the point of being chewy. Weirdly, whatever was underneath them was better than the shrimp themselves. The whipped ricotta with marinated mushrooms wasn't whipped at all. The mushrooms were cold and the whole dish felt disjointed and strange. The grilled baby lamb chops were overcooked and wasn't even grilled. The seared scallops came loaded with a bunch of random stuff that didn't work together. It felt like ingredients thrown on a plate without a clear direction, and it tasted just as confusing. I was excited about the cauliflower rice paella because I love both cauliflower and paella but somehow it leaned sweet. Sweet. That's not what I'm looking for in paella. The only bright spot was the oyster. Fresh and simple. Exactly what it needed to be. Ramone was fantastic: attentive, friendly, and professional. Service wasn't the issue at all. But the food this time missed the mark across the board which is hard to say because this place used to be a favorite. I really hope this was just an off night. Ugh. Overall, expensive and disappointing.

    Came here for breakfast about 20 minutes before it closed. Ordered the classic quiche Lorraine, which was absolutely and positively delicious. The Swiss cheese really came through. It was light and fluffy. The crusted was perfect. The side salad had arugula, avocado, cherry tomato and was light. I also got the side of fresh fruit, which was at the appropriate amount and all the berries were at the right ripeness. For my drink I got a half orange half grapefruit mixed and both juices were fresh. Was the best breakfast of the trip.

    We came here for the weekend. Overall a very nice resort with this nice restaurant inside. The wait was about 20-30 minutes. You have the option of sitting inside or outside (with ocean view.) Our server was amazing, thank you Ricardo! He was attentive and very accommodating. He checked on us multiple times even though he was noticeably busy with many other tables. He walked around with a smile and was kind with his words. They have a buffet and individual option menu items. I appreciated that they gave us the option to order menu items since not all of us wanted to commit to buffet. The food options were great with a little bit of everything from savory to sweets, to simple scrambled eggs and omelet options. The restaurant inside is clean and organized. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a sit down breakfast spot. It is very conveniently located inside Huntington Hyatt Regency hotel.

    Food, Service & Ambiance was really good! Great choices for children. Breakfast & Lunch. They have a buffet option in the AM too. We did not do that.

    Wonderful, fantastic brunch. We've gone two days in a row! The salmon is truly amazing. Also, the roasted salted almonds. Great bagels. Fresh blueberries, and fruit good egg dishes. Give it a try. It's worth it!

    Conveniently located inside the Hyatt Huntington Beach, Water Table is a winner! Good menu, extensive wine list, and prime spot overlooking the pier. Indoor and outdoor patio seating - we loved it. Server was attentive and friendly. Plus, kids menu's a hit with the little ones (my 3.5 and 7-year-old loved the options!). Great experience overall.

    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!

    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.

    6oz Chilean Sea Bass
    Linda V.

    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.

    Short Rib Hash
    Steven M.

    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!

    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.

    Do you deliver?

    Delivery for room service but do not recommend. It is best you are there. It seems they are less concern of ppl offering to be delivered. But if you're there, they would do a better job when preparing and serving the food.

    Do they validate parking for dinner?

    Yes they do, as I have experienced. However there is a minimum amount you must spend at the restaurant if you are yo get the reduced rate parking. When I received my validation after spending the appropriate amount, my parking was gratis (free).

    One of the reviews said they did the buffet, is there a brunch buffet?

    Yes on the weekend

    What is dress code for breakfast and dinner?

    Casual for breakfast/brunch. Business casual for dinner.

    Are dogs allowed in the outdoor seating?

    Dog allowed

    Nope

I looked over at the host and waived! They didn't get my order correct. Luckily it was a simple fix... I just moved the beans and onions off my plate. My buddy's issue was different. He order the regular ribeye. The wait specifically asked if he wanted the bone-in or regular. He again said regular and added " no bone." He also stated he like it rare but not raw since his last few tries at other places were way undercooked. The steak came bone-in. We pointed this out and the waiter joked, and asked for the regular. He stated you get a significantly bigger steak now for the same price. That's 10 ozs for free. He cut in and the edges were cook rare, but the middle and especially along the bone was cold/raw. The offered to re-cook it, but everyone knows that just dries it out. He ate the edges and took the rest home to re-cook as leftovers. When the bill came, the waiter charged us for the bone-in! We had to ask for this to be corrected. I felt the food was very good and would have given the place a second chance, but when the manager came to ask us about our experience and we told him... he just froze and said that's too bad, I will have a talk with them. No apology. No hey want a free drink or a dessert? Oh well. Good luck

The decor is absolutely beautiful, with a cozy lounge feel, great music, and that hidden speakeasy energy that makes the night feel special.

    This was my first speakeasy, FINALLY! I have been wanting to try one for years…read more We went on a Sunday which had both benefits and a few cons. This speakeasy is known for taking your cell phone and having a no photo policy. So when they didnt take our phones, we thought we were being sneaky with taking photos. Turns out on Sundays, it is their relaxed day where you are allowed to keep your phone, and they have the side door out onto PCH open. I loved this, but also hated it if I am being honest. PCH is so loud with motorcycles non stop, and it made the room very light. It didnt really feel like a speakeasy as you could enter right off the street. We entered through the hostess stand at HQ Gastropub. I had asked one of the hostesses what we needed to do and she stated she just arrived for work and I would have to ask another hostess when they came up to the stand. Bit weird, not the friendliest welcome, but the staff inside Graceland made up for that. The hostess lets them know we are there and someone comes out to take us back to the red door in the middle of the restaurant down a hall of colored barrels. Typically that is the only place you are allowed to take a photo before you hand over your phone. Back to the service. The bartender was AMAZING. She was so friendly and just amazing. Our waitress was great too, they were both helping us out. I wish I got the bartenders name, she was such a ray of sunshine and sparkle. Literally, she had a sequin top on and the sun hitting it put sparkle across the entire room. I had two glasses of chardonnay that were delicious. I also had a sip of my friends drinks and they were DELICIOUS! We did order food, and I ordered the spicy garlic edamame but never received it. I also was not charged for it, so it is what it is. The sushi nachos were good, as well as the beignets. I am not going to share the photos I took here, because I feel they want to keep it a surprise and I honor that. I would like to come back another time when the door is not open, it is darker and more private for the full speakeasy experience.

The side rice with the Beef was also excellent -- it had a slight tomato tang to it, but not an overpowering at all. Everything tasted very fresh and well made.
