A lot of people in L.A. think only of West LA, Hollywood or Beverly Hills for fine dining, but downtown LA is a hidden gem. There are a lot of great high-end restaurants in the downtown area, and the Water Grill is one of the best. The ""scene"" is more subdued than Hollywood -- people who go out are more concerned with a great dining experience than with being seen. I am not a big seafood fan and I found the food amazing (I have Creole shrimp in a hot gumbo sauce). The meals are exquisite and the service is excellent. You must experience this place if you love seafood of the highest order.
Pros: Great Food, Fine Ambience, Excellent Service
Cons: Downtown locale
