I will say the sushi was good. The service was basically serve your own sushi, we had to run back and forth up and down stairs to find out where our miso soup was and our edamame, and everything ended up coming together anyway. You have to go to the bar and stand in line anyway to get drinks so why you wouldn't just sit at the bar I don't know, I tipped on this order and I wouldn't have if I had known that I was going to be getting everything myself. The wait staff was pleasant when I saw them, it's just set up so that you basically do things yourself. If I'm going to pay $50 for sushi, and I have to get it myself, I feel like I could do better somewhere else. It was a nice quiet place away from the noise of water Street restaurant but halfway through our meal they decided to have a staff meeting up there so all of a sudden it was just us and 20 staff members having a meeting so that kind of put a damper on the conversation.

Read moreWent around 5pm on a Tuesday, parked on the side street bc the parking lot was full. Our server Christopher was AMAZING he recommended the oysters on the half shell...let me just say that you haven't had oysters until your have had them here!! Seriously, I love oysters and they had a great selection that were not like any I've ever had!! They were fresh, clean tasting and they served them with this amazing sauce that elevated them to a mind blowing experience! We ordered 18 then after having them I had to order 6 more! The old fashioned was INCREDIBLE, I usually order an old fashioned with Maker's Mark but WOW they served it with Woodford Reserve Bourbon and now that's all I want! We ordered 3 sushi rolls and pineapple cheesecake for dessert which was so good that we got a key lime pie slice to go! They have happy hour from 3-6pm so all the sushi rolls are 1/2 off and the oysters are half off as well! Great pice, EXCELLENT SERVICE and AMAZING food!! Will definitely be returning!...
Read moreThe ambience and atmosphere were very nice along with the staff. Happy Hour is daily from 3-6. We ordered the Volcano roll (originally $19) a Spicy Salmon Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll along with Tuna and Salmon Nigiri which are not on the happy hour menu. The quality of the fish is pretty solid for South Texas and was impressive. However, the sushi rice was a bit hard making the sushi dry. We were able to get the Volcano roll for $9.5 which is fair but $19 being the original price is pretty wild. Overall the experience was solid during happy hour and if you’re in the area craving sushi. I’m sure the other seafood options at Water Street are...
