Blue Water Grill

I too have had to endure long waits but the food is very good. My favorite room is the Jazz room downstairs. Also the seafood tower is great for two!

I have read the other reviews, if you go to any restaurant in NYC you may have to wait, especially the good ones. This one is worth the wait! I am not a big seafood fan but had a great meal. The entire evening was very nice, and the atmosphere is perfect. I recommend this restaurant all the time!

Stopped in to the BWG on this past Saturday afternoon for a late lunch - got a table for 4 in a reasonable amount of time considering no reservations (about 35 minutes). Drinks at the bar were good, though limited bar design kept space to a minimum. The late lunch was excellent - Lobster Bisque was quite good. Crabcakes excellent, the Sea Bass was delicious. Overall the food was quite good and very well presented. The service was what I found exemplary. The group I was with was tired, hungry and in a word, surly. Our waitress was initially late to stop by, but did check in early to apologize, letting us know there would be a slight delay - not a good start, though I did appreciate her making the effort. Withing a few minutes she was back and things just got better. She went out of her way to take care of simple things like recommending dishes from her personal experience, talking to us on a personal level to make us feel welcome, procuring something as simple as iced tea (of which they had been out of) and making us feel very welcome - in fact by the end of our meal our minds were relaxed our moods restored and a new favorite restaurant established. It is this kind of caring individualistic service that seperates a fine dining establishement from a favorite fine dining establishment. It is this kind of ervice that I find all too lacking in many of NYC's restaurants. Thanks Abigail for a wonderful experience.

I was reading the review submitted by "40th Birthday!" and it sounded like my experience with BWG last year. Same scenario: best friend's birthday; reservation at 9:30PM ; confirmed by BWG that day; manager's apology, but no champagne. Left out was the air-head reservation person behind the computer. That's the problem with restaurants that become a "hot destination": over booking. N.YC. is a big city avoid the aggravation go somewhere else for a fish diner [sic.].

It was one of my friends 40th Birthday. I made a 9:30pm reservation of course days in advance. Blue Water Grill actually called my house to confirm the reservation the day of. What a horrible night it turned out to be. We weren't sitted until 11:00pm. They brought over free champagne and spilled the champagne all over the Birthday Girl. The food was good but about time you ate you were so mad from the wait that you didn't even get a chance to enjoy it. The manager came over and apologized for the wait but that didn't make us get sitted any earlier. There were some Women who traveled from Boston had a 9:00pm reservation and didn't get sitted until 10:45pm. I would never eat there again or recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We met with friends from three different states whom we hadn't seen in over a year. We couldn't have chosen a better place. The food and service were terrific and no one tried to rush us out.
