Service is important
Waited almost an hour for steamed lobster that should have taken ten minutes tops and mash potatoes don't think it takes that long..Won't be going back there city crab is better and cheaper with more varieties..

Go!
Always surprisingly good despite the crowds and noise level. Excellent products and gracious service. Restaurant Week menu was a real value and terrific.

Splendid!!
Great atmosphere with live entertainment. Foof was absolutely delicious. Fresh, seasoned nicely with a great presentation. Recommend chilean seabass that will melt in your mouth or salmon which will make you salivate for more . Dessert was divine and coffee great. A really nice spot for dates, celebrations or just to get out and mingle.

Love this place
I love this place---always have and will. If you're into shell fish, it's fantastic share one of their extravagant, combo shell fish tiers with a fellow, shell fish lover A little champagne with some oysters is my favorite lunch. Even the dinners during jazz are delicious and fairly priced

Brunch. Lunch, Dinner Favorite
Definitely a little confused by some of the negative reviews of this restaurant. We eat here all the time and have never had a bad meal. The sushi appetizers are excellent. Great fish. Brunch is unusual and very good. Service has always been attentive. Definitely a place to try.

Definitely not going back
My husband and I went here for our wedding anniversary. I would not recommend this restaurant and certainly we will not be going back. The calamari was not as good as it use to be and the lobster bisque soup was sickening and the consistency was too creamy. My husband ordered scallops and shrimp for his main meal and since its served with broccoli rabe he requested if he could have some other side. A suggestion of mashed potatoes was posed to him of which he said yes. When his entree arrived, it was very unappetizing. It was 4 shrimps and 2 scallops served embedded on top of mashed potatoes - not on the side - not a good presentation. I ordered salmon and it was just OK, peas were not pureed. Quite disappointed that we had no intention of ordering dessert or coffee.

Skip this one.....in a word Disorganized
I have been here more times than I should have been already.....always hoping they would get their act together. This was our last time. BlueWater Grill is basically an upgraded Red Lobster. Stale bread to start which looked like someone was picking at it from another table prior to ours...The food is mediocre at best. Tonight we ordered the Chilean Sea bass which at one time was good a year or so ago. Not so now. The portion is for a CHILD, the fish measured about 1&1/2 inches squared, arrived cold, cold rice..etc...all for $34 each. Look I don't mind paying for a good entre, but this was pathetic. Now onto the service, if you can call it that... We ordered cappuccino and desert, the cappuccino comes and the desert about 15-20 minutes later and tasted like it came from a diner, overly sweet and artificial looking and tasting, a glob of goo. The entire service staff seems to be running around blind, inexperienced and haphazard service all around....and all of this with floor managers (or whatever their title is) wired with intercom radios attached to their ears as if they are the Secret Service.......however even these folks don't really seem to have a handle on keeping things in flow here. It's like a Walmart, Target....selling food at a table. So I say skip this place....there are far superior places to have a fantastic seafood dinner in the city with far better service. Mediocre food, premium prices and poor service means I will never be returning here....lets face it BlueWater Grill survives from tourists basically and others who don't have a clue as to what fine dining and good food are about. You have been warned.....good luck.
