    Easily my most favorite restaurant in the Huntington Beach area. The breakfast options/portions/variety of dishes are perfect. Every meal here is amazing, there aren’t any bad choices. The service is incredibly fast and everyone is so friendly. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    The Tomahawk Ribeye was one of the best steaks I've ever had. The bone marrow was the best thing I've ever tasted. Also had breakfast here and it was amazing! Everyone on the staff is awesome.

    Exceptional location within the Hyatt Regency, Huntington Beach Resort. The restaurant decor is rich in tone and plush. There is a nice long bar that attracts a decent cocktail crowd and there is ample dining rooms and outdoor patio outfitted with heaters making certain you are comfortable. I had the good fortune to dine for breakfast, dinner and even room service. Every dish is presented impeccably well thought out and artistically attractive in presentation. Of course, the taste is sublime. Their quiche, avocado toast, Eggs Benedict and breakfast pizza were all a scrumptious gastronomical feast as was their dinners. I tried their bone marrow appetizer and highly recommend it. The bones sit upon a bed of sauteed mushrooms in a rich broth. I actually do not enjoy mushrooms but this dish sure changed my mind. They could even serve this alone with bread and folks would order that too. Just amazing! The fish is fresh and prepared to your taste. The lamb chop appetizer was outstanding as the seasoning is superb. One really can not say enough about the level of service- attention to detail, and hard work by every staff member from the parking, lobby, kitchens, restautants, pool, spa, shops, and housekeeping - exceptional across the board. So kudos to tge head of HR!!! My heartfelt thanks to all who made my first solo holiday without my hubby, who passed, so very memorable. And to think I agonized so about traveling and being in a hotel solo. Definitely returning here.

    A memorable experience at Watertable. A beautiful restaurant in Huntington Beach. I'll start with the negative. The room was cold. They sat us close to a door to the patio and kept it open. We asked our server if he could close it, and he did. Our server was Bulent. He was very attentive and nice. 5 Stars for him!!! Food: Old Fashioned Drinks Olive Tapenade Hamachi Crudo Bone Marrow Pear Salad Tiger Prawns Lamb Chops Orange Almond Dessert The highlight was the Bone Marrow. It was prepared perfectly with mushrooms, madeira, grilled sour dough bread, and parsley. Best combination ever!!! All the other dishes were good. I wouldn't order the Prawns again. My friends enjoyed the lamb chops. Overall, it was a beautiful experience, and the food was tasty.

    Staying at the resort and decided to dine here for breakfast. The staff is very professional, polite, attentive, and prompt. Ordered the Chicken & Waffle Benedict. It was the best! The chicken was seasoned to perfection and very tender. The eggs poached just right. I'm not a fan of hollandaise sauce so I had them put it on the side but it completed the dish and had a nice, light flavor. Every bite was delicious! Will likely have this again before leaving. I'm anxious to try other breakfast items during our stay.

    Friendly bartenders and Fabulous food! A great breakfast in a beautiful, stylish setting with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is quite varied with many interesting sweet and savory choices. Try the Lavender French Toast, so delicious!Afterwards, stroll around the beautiful grounds of the Hyatt or across the bridge over PCH to the beach!

    Coastal-cool steakhouse located in the Hyatt Regency. Had a team dinner here on a Friday evening with a reservation at 7:30pm. We had a private room but there was plenty of space available both indoors and outdoors. We started with the creamer potato cakes, scallops, and shishito peppers for the table, and the potato cakes were the hit. Note that the shishito peppers do come with crispy prosciutto on top. The scallops come four to a dish and I enjoyed them a lot. The main draw for entrees are the steaks, but they have plenty of non-steak options and also have a vegetarian option. I had the Chilean sea bass, which came with mashed potatoes and veggies on the side. The fish was a bit bland and wasn’t my favorite. You do have the option to add a soup or a salad prior to the entree. The burrata and peach salad was light and fresh. I got the Six Degrees of Chocolate which is the signature dessert, but was a bit lackluster. Overall, I liked the appetizers the best and it was a good venue for a business meal.

    What a beautiful restaurant located within the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, the decor is stunning. We dined here for breakfast. The meals were very unique and inventive, but most importantly, the food and service were both fantastic. Watertable is a restaurant you'll want to visit whether you're staying at the hotel or not. Highly recommend for a drink or date night as well!

    Fantastic location overlooking the ocean, would be great for sunset cocktails though we were there for dinner and ate indoors. The marinated mushrooms on whipped ricota was good, there is opportunity to do better with the vegetarian entree options, great wine selection!

    Dinner was great, drinks were good but spendy, martini 🍸 $24. The Potato cake app was really wonderful. The Sea Bass was amazing.

    Staying on property, the Watertable was an amazing restaurant with a great selection of appetizers, main entrees, cocktails and wine. The service team was top notch! Super friendly, helpful and time was of the essence. Highly recommended.

    Excellent, beautiful food in a lovely setting. We ate at Watertable for two breakfasts and for a birthday dinner in their private dining room. The food was top notch. Highly recommend for special occasion or vacation. The Hyatt Regency is a lovely property and well located near the beach and the Huntington Beach town area. I especially loved the fig salad pictured below. It was beautiful and delicious. We all ordered different items off the menu and everyone loved their food. The other photo is their Chilean Sea Bass dish with parsnips and mashed potatoes. Delicious !

    My mom and I had breakfast and dinner here while we stayed at the Hyatt, and after touring colleges all day, this was the perfect place to come back to! The staff gave great recommendations, and were super friendly. The bread they served for dinner was sourdough topped lightly with flaky salt, and made for the perfect preamble to the salmon belly and bone marrow appetizers we had. Salmon belly was amazing and well complimented by the avocado sauce and pickled radishes, and the bone marrow is melt-in-your-mouth perfect. Just a reminder that it's basically just fat, so I would recommend sharing so you don't end up with overwhelming portions like we did. Breakfast was solid as well, and I really enjoyed the flatbread and the prosciutto-avocado toast. Anything involving pancakes or waffles tended towards the sugary side (more so than I expected) and I wish the lemon in the lemon blueberry waffles was more pronounced, but overall still good.

    Amazing restaurant, from the modern and nice-looking restaurant, to their patio, and of course the food. Great experience. All the food was amazing, from bread and butter to the last bite of that dessert. The Wedge salad is not the typical one you know, but was delicious. Salmon was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Lamb chops amazing. The service was also really good and waiter was funny and very approachable. Too bad we were just visiting and live in Texas, but if you ever go to Huntington Beach and like great food, then you know where to go.

    The kind of place that feels comfortable the moment you walk in the door. There was no wait for a table when we went, and the host sat us at a wonderful outdoor table overlooking the ocean. Delicious food; the huevos Rancheros were unlike any others I've had. The perfect combination of sauce with the residual (fried?) tortilla crunch that has me already wanting to go back. This was a date for my wife and I and we are already planning our next time. 3 out of 5 stars, wouldn't change a thing. EXCELLENT

    OH YES! Outdoor dining was fresh and a warming delight. Service was the best "business as usual". There are outdoor heaters if needed. Can recommend the Scallops & Sea Bass. They also have a great hamburger

    We came here for the New Year's Eve 4-course dinner meal ($120 per person) I got the lamb chops, pear salad, Chilean sea bass, and the six degrees of chocolate cake. The lamb was quite tender and flavorful, although was a little burnt. The pear salad was solid - I enjoyed the candied pecans, but personally didn't like the Roquefort cheese. The Chilean sea bass was incredible! Super flaky and tender, although a little too salty. The six degrees of chocolate cake was a little disappointing because it wasn't chocolatey enough for me

    We had the opportunity to go here for breakfast during our stay at the hotel. Ingredients are fresh and enjoyable. We tried the Huevos Rancheros, flat bread, avocana, oatmeal, veggie Benedict, French toast, omelette, kids choc chip pancake. Our favorites were the veggie Benedict, flat bread, and oatmeal.

    Had a wonderful dinner at the Watertable - the best petit filet I’ve ever had - cuts like butter - perfect mashed potatoes and asparagus. Truly excellent- but beyond that the service was amazing. Highly recommend!

    Amazing restaurant, great location, complimentary valet parking and great food. And yes private dining room. We will love to go again

  • 1/5 Jeremy C. 8 months ago on Google
    My recent visit to this restaurant left me utterly disappointed and frustrated. The level of disorganization and disregard for customer satisfaction was appalling. After making a reservation and being informed of a 10–15 minute wait, we received a text stating our table was ready. Excitedly, we promptly made our way there, only to be greeted with the news that we would have to wait another 5-10 minutes. This blatant display of mismanagement and lack of communication was nothing short of infuriating. It's astonishing that a seemingly simple task of seating a reserved party could be handled so poorly. The false notification not only wasted our time but also showcased the complete disregard for our patronage. To add insult to injury, once seated, the overall service was lackluster. It felt rushed and inattentive, as if they were trying to compensate for their earlier blunder. The entire experience left a sour taste in my mouth, overshadowing any potential merits the food might have had. I strongly urge the management to reevaluate their reservation process and improve their customer service, lest they continue to alienate patrons with such unprofessional conduct.

    We stayed in the hotel for a week and had breakfast every day here. They offer a great selection of tasty, healthy options for buffet. We also ordered a la carte and our favorite items are the Nutella waffle (light and airy, sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts and melted chocolate ganache on the side) and zesty lemon blueberry pancakes, which were served in heated plate so the lemon butter (which adds a nice fresh lemon aroma to the pancakes) remained soft and pancakes stayed warm till last bite. Services were great as well.

    Definitely matched up with its reputation of Orange County's most sophisticated restaurant, also earning Open Table's top 100's restaurants in USA. Food is excellent, the service we received is even better, highly recommended.

    I wanted the food to taste as good as the atmosphere and location was. We stayed at the resort and took our kids to dinner here during vacation. The staff was incredible, drinks really good, great ambiance. However the food just left some to be desired. The plating looks delicious but the actual flavors fell flatter than the dynamic look. Maybe more salt or acid or something to bring out some more depth. It also wasn’t just one dish, it was across the board.

  • 5/5 Mary A. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this restaurant. It was perfect from the first cocktail to the dessert. Brandon my waiter...delightful and attentive. I'll be here next year!

    Had a wonderful dining experience for Christmas dinner 2022. Every course of the three course meal was stunning and delicious, the service was wonderful and the ambiance was just lovely. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 David P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great experience here on a Sunday evening. The bread they bring before the meal is just heavenly. We tried the NY strip, filet mignon, salmon, and burger. All were really good. Both steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. Salmon was a touch over done but still very tasty. Cheesecake for dessert? Definitely.

    My wife, our guest, and I had a fantastic dinner at Watertable last night. The atmosphere was welcoming, and our server was knowledgeable and attentive, making spot-on recommendations. I had the Watertable Burger*, and it was outstanding. The truffle aioli and arugula added a sophisticated touch, while the muenster and port onion jam created a rich, savory flavor. The house cut fries and jalapeño dip on the side were addictive and the perfect accompaniment. My wife ordered the Citrus Salad, with added chicken, which was a refreshing blend of mixed greens, toasted pistachios, castelvetrano olives, and crumbled feta. The honey citrus vinaigrette tied everything together beautifully. Our guest enjoyed the Roasted Baby Beet Salad with added salmon on the side. The marinated kale, pomegranate balsamic reduction, drake farms goat cheese, and brazil nut crumble made for a delicious and visually appealing dish. The salmon was cooked to perfection, adding a satisfying protein to the meal. To accompany our meal, we decided to indulge in their wine selection. We were delighted with the Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon, which had a lovely balance of dark fruit flavors and subtle tannins. The Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel was equally impressive, boasting a bold, fruity profile with a hint of spice that complemented our dishes perfectly. We had an exceptional dining experience at Watertable and can't wait to return. Highly recommended for a memorable and delicious evening out!

    Wonderful restaurant and friendly staff in a beautiful setting. I went away with some girlfriends for the weekend and we stayed at the Hyatt Huntington Beach. Waterfront is their primary dining venue offering fine dining as well as casual breakfasts and brunch. The strawberry French toast is to die for. I love French toast, especially Coast toast, and this one beats them all. An absolute must for the strawberry French toast. It’s life changing.
