" The best place we tried Santa Cruz! The salad was towering and delicious. The only downside was the music was a little loud, making conversation a bit difficult. Everything else was magnificent! Highly recommend their steak! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about The Water Street Grill! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles. The server recommended the Bourbon chicken and shrimp, which was fantastic. The garlic mashed potatoes were heavenly! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I felt like I was dining with family. I'll certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Water Street Grill left a lasting impression. The service was top-notch and our server made fantastic wine recommendations. I opted for the fried asparagus as a starter - a real local hit! The salmon was tender and flavored beautifully with lemon and dill sauce. It was definitely a 10/10 experience, and I will return one day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed with the dog-friendly aspect of The Water Street Grill. They even offered a couple of treats on the house for my pup! The human food was just as impressive; I particularly enjoyed the lasagna, which was loaded with flavors. Kudos to the staff for accommodating pets and ensuring a great dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This atmosphere at this grill is uniquely relaxing! The fried chicken is succulent; however, I found their mac and cheese lacking in flavor. Will definitely return to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
