Watergrill

Suburb: South Yarra
Introduction: A big informal barn of a place with large glass windows facing Toorak Rd. Open cooking area
Ambience: Noisy friendly Paper covered linen table cloths
Service: Try hard but long way to go
Food: Excellent. We shared Mariniere mussels in white wine garlic sauce with French fries ($20) A deep fried Barramundi with lemon and olive sauce ($28) and a Bouillabaisse: Provencale soup with rouille (thin sliced crisp toasted bread) and croutons ($32) with a side dish of creamy mashed potato ($7) and finished with a dark rum panacotta accompanied by a small tower of strawberries and cream separated by thin sheets of dark chocolate ($12) strangely described as a millefleur. The bouillabaisse was a surprise, a pile of crustaceans, that tasted wonderful but you have to be prepared to eat with your hands.
Wine: House wines (Andrew Garrett) fine A reasonable choice for the buff
Price About $100 plus drinks
Comments: Whilst it is easy to be picky about some minor deficiencies in the cooking this is a place to come for reasonably priced very good seafood ( the wood chargrilled lobster looked wonderful)
Score: 15/20
