User Reviews

Had wedding reception for 22 1/2 people. They had the menu for us. Food was excellent. Service 3 to 4 servers. Food was hot and tasted great. We had a great time. Would recommend for parties of 1 to ?.

Beautiful setting and great views were worth 5 stars! My husbands mahi mahi fish and chips were good but my risotto was very disappointing. The flavor was quite bland and certainly not worth the price. Pretty good wine list. Maybe go for a cocktail/dessert and the view but not worth the price for a full meal.

Really great! Service was excellent. Food was delicious. There was music, but it wasn't too loud, which I always appreciate! We had the Alaskan Halibut in a coconut sauce and the Salmon with wild mushrooms for dinner. Aps, we had the seafood something that was in this yogurt sauce. So good! What a great date night! The pictures are of our food and a cheesecake to go for the kids. And the view from the balcony.

Food is fairly good, some dishes stood out a lot more than others. Atmosphere can be described as relaxed upscale. Went there at night so unfortunately could not see the views however hear they are great.

My recent visit to Big Water Grill Restaurant left much to be desired, and I feel compelled to share my negative encounter to caution others. The food at this establishment was underwhelming, to say the least. Unfortunately, every dish we ordered lacked the expected flavors and some were disappointingly overcooked. The fish was particularly dry and overdone, which was quite disheartening. Moreover, the service was subpar. Our waiter took an unusually long time to attend to our table, leaving us waiting without any explanation or apology. Though the appetizers were good, the disappointment with the main courses overshadowed any positives. On the brighter side, one person in our group enjoyed her scallops, which were the highlight of an otherwise dismal experience. Despite this single bright spot, the lack of attention to detail in both the food and service is concerning. I hope Big Water Grill Restaurant takes the necessary steps to improve the overall dining experience for future customers. As it stands, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my unfortunate encounter.

While the Big Water Grille still boasts an excellent location and tasteful decor, the overall experience has gone downhill quite a bit over the last few years. There just isn't the attention to detail one would expect from a restaurant with $50 entrees, $18 cocktails, $30 appetizers, and a $28 burger. We waited fifteen minutes from the time we were seated until we were greeted by our server, and - when she did come to our table - had no enthusiasm, was not helpful, and was quick to leave. The food was a mixed bag. The fried cauliflower appetizer, halibut, and flourless chocolate torte were delicious, but the fish and chips were just plain bad. A place that charges so much should be able to serve fries that taste better than the ones you buy in the freezer section at Grocery Outlet.

Service was understaffed, steak overcooked, sent it back. Quite expensive. Cocktails were average. Didn't like the meatball appetizer at all. The Korean Fried Cauliflower was great though. Risotto was tasty but not worth a $44 price tag. Overall just missing some appeal given we spent $100 pp on dinner.

Really bad food. Like, trying to be high end but clueless. I got a $65 new york steak (no other steak options) and I swear it was covered in KC Masterpiece bbq sauce. The peach salad was soggy and flavorless. I guess I paid for the ambiance…outdated 80s decor with a decent view.
