First time there for dinner with friends. We had salad as a starter, then Half-shell Oyster; Calamari; Fish and Chips; also Creative Sushi Roll. Oysters were skinny with no meat, we were pretty disappointed. Calamari was okay; Fish and Chips was a good; Sushi Roll was too much sauce on...Honestly, It is like the ocean view made food tasted better. I am sure that it is a great place for families and friends gathering. Our server was friendly. read more

Five star rating for food, menu choices, scenery, and service. Like most beach towns, you have to pay for parking. Reservations are most certainly a good idea. I use Open Table most of the time, however they will save a few reservations for locals if you call directly. The host staff is friendly, the bar is always busy with whatever sports broadcast is happening, the servers are very knowledgeable, and the view it top-notch. The menu is extensive, so be prepared for some great choices. Many cocktail choices are available as well. Between the four of us we had, New England clam chowder, beer-battered fish and chips, fisherman's platter, crispy calamari, and the Spicy Avalon Roll. The portions are huge so be ready to get full or take home a doggy bag. The Fisherman's Platter has Panko prawns, scallops, beer-battered Cod, fries and very yummy coleslaw (not too sweet or full of mayo). The sushi and calamari were fresh and delicious. We will definitely return to try other menu items. read more

Mac was our waiter & we had copino, gumbo, cedar plank salmon, ginger sushi. Very good bread & a lovely location at the marina!

Hm. Average. I came here for a birthday dinner for my geriatric father. He LOVES seafood and this place has pretty solid reviews on Yelp. The service is where it was lacking.... oh my gooooodnessss.... We arrive, we were seated outside per our request, and it took a solid 15 minutes before the waiter came to take our drink order. He did not ask if we wanted any apps or anything else, took a drink order and immediately bolted inside. I couldn't even call him back to place an app order because he zoomed away so quick. 10 minutes later, the drinks appear. We place our app order. No questions if we were ready to order for entrees yet or not. Again, bolted out. A different person came to drop off their complimentary sourdough bread. We finally place our entree order and it takes maybe 20 minutes to get to our table. The odd thing is that a different family came about 30 minutes after us in my pathway of vision and they were serviced WAY quicker. It was extremely odd... I ended up ordering their phoenix roll. The presentation was beautiful. The flavor was okay. I added wasabi and ginger to elevate the flavor of the roll. Otherwise it was nothing special. I've been to hole in the wall sushi spots that had a better taste and quality of fish. Calamari was average, nothing memorable. It had a kick to it that was nice but nothing I am head over heels for. The house sourdough roll was good, it was NOT rock hard like some places sourdough. The salted butter was perfect to balance the acidity of the sourness from the sourdough. They did give my geriatric father a scoop of icecream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles on the house which was sweet. Overall, an average spot with amazing views of the ocean and sunset. I'm unsure if they happened to be understaffed the afternoon I went, but def need to work on the customer service. read more

This is a great seafood restaurant right on the marina. The inside is quite large and has an old-school, classic dining atmosphere. Our server was incredibly personable and responsive. The provided sourdough bread was amazing and tangy. For appetizers we got the calamari. It was a hefty portion with more than enough for our party of four. I loved the addition of the peppers and the two different sauces, so you could switch up the flavor. For my main I got the miso butter cod. It was heavenly! The fish melted in your mouth and the subtle sweetness and umami flavor from the miso was delicious. Lastly, I had the creme brûlée, which was excellent. The custard was perfectly creamy and smooth. read more

5/5 Stars Incredible sushi, gorgeous views, and top-tier service! ​Bluewater Grill in Redondo Beach never disappoints, but our recent visit was an absolute 10/10. If you are looking for an amazing waterfront dinner in the South Bay, this is the spot--and the sushi is seriously phenomenal. ​First and foremost, Kristina & I have to give a huge shoutout to our absolute favorite bartender and server, Jose Ramon. He always takes such exceptional care of us, brings great energy to the meal, and makes sure every detail is perfect. He got us started with a beautifully chilled, crisp glass of William Hill Chardonnay, which turned out to be the perfect pairing for the seafood feast we were about to have. ​Here is what we ordered (and highly recommend!): ​Spicy Charred Edamame: The ultimate starter. The pods had a gorgeous, smoky blister to them with just the right amount of spicy kick to wake up the palate. ​Sashimi Trio: You can immediately taste the quality of the fish here. The salmon, tuna, and yellowtail were incredibly fresh, buttery, and practically melted in your mouth. ​The Surfrider Roll: This was the absolute star of the show! It is packed with crispy tempura shrimp, savory krab mix, and creamy avocado. They crown the whole thing with fresh ahi sashimi and a perfect drizzle of sriracha and eel sauce. It is the ultimate flavor bomb--sweet, spicy, crunchy, and fresh all at once. ​Between the food, the drinks, and the unbeatable harbor views, it was the perfect night out. Do yourself a favor, order the Surfrider Roll, and make sure you ask to sit with Jose Ramon! We will definitely be back soon. read more

So tasty and fresh! We sat at the bar area on a Tuesday and had friendly, attentive service. We ordered the scallops, which were really yummy, and the octopus. I considered giving four stars because the octopus was smothered in a white sauce, the octopus itself was cooked to perfection, but the sauce was overwhelming. I'd recommend asking for it on the side or skipping it altogether. The tacos were good, and the cilantro rice was surprisingly delicious. The ahi tuna was missing a little something and tasted a bit bland, but the veggies were cooked perfectly. The location is a big plus, lots of seating and a beautiful view of the marina. read more

Excellent Excellent Excellent. So glad that we had an event here. The views are fantastic and you can feel the energy as soon as you enter. But today the star was certainly the food. Everything tasted divine and all dishes were well seasoned. From the chicken with a hint of a glaze , yummy!, to the well prepared and expertly cooked salmon down to the Mahi Mahi . Love myself a wedge salad and that too did not disappoint. There was not a complaint on any dish. Highly recommend coming here and if your timing is right you get a wonderful view of the setting sun. Bonus perk is being serenaded by the resident sea lions as they cruise up and down the marina Next visit I will try the clam chowder and I heard that the scallops are paired with goat cheese grits! What!? That will definitely be on the docket on my next visit read more

Happy hour... I don't have the chance to often do a happy hour, but today my wife got off early and we decided to spend our early evening at the Bluewater Grill... I am a regular here but for dinner. Well, it was great and for less... I had a couple of my usual Martinis and Normita had a glass of wine... then came the Happy hour menu... charbroiled edemame... steam shells, artichoque dip and a California tuna roll... of course we enjoyed the preview, their great bread and butter and finally a surfrider sushi roll and two Korean shell tacos... we didn't finish the tacos we took them home but, the experience was great... read more

We hosted our company holiday party here last week. Vida, our events planner, was great to work with. She gave so many great recommendations from uplighting, food choices, layout of the banquet room, etc. We had a casino night theme so had to incorporate casino tables with our group of 60, along with raffle gift tables. Their 2nd floor banquet facility was the perfect size for us. We chose a selection of hand passed and displayed appetizers to start. The restaurant was very accommodating with our dietary needs (vegetarian options). Their prime rib carving station did not disappoint, and the crab cakes were amazing! The bar service was great, and all servers were so professional and cordial! Will definitely consider them again in the future for larger parties! read more

Last weekend, stumbled across this place because we were craving a lobster roll. I asked the ladies in the front and they said yes, so I was definately sold! We got seated inside with a view of the water, which was really nice, and we also had the hockey game on the TV in our sight, which was a definitely a bonus. We ordered the lobster roll , served warm and honestly, not too many places serve it warm it for you, but they did, so that was amazing. Our server Eli helped us, and she was the sweetest. She gave great recommendations, was super nice, and made the experience even better. Definitely somewhere I can see myself coming back to again soon! read more

We visited Bluewater Grill for New Year's Eve dinner. The restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived. Our waiter was nice and the food was ok, I just think we were expecting better menu options. The menu is huge but there aren't things you would expect to be on the menu at a seafood restaurant. We were all pretty underwhelmed with the menu to be honest. For instance, theres normally fish tacos on the menu at seafood restaurants, but not here. But the food was ok and the prices were decent as well. I absolutely loved the coconut margarita! read more

The service was great! The ambiance was okay it's a typical seafood restaurant. Very Casual, the parking was easy! The food was okay nothing extraordinary if you want a quick dinner this is the place but it is also expensive though our new york strip wasn't that good as you can see in the picture I feel like they just did a quick fry then done! i was a little bit disappointed but at the same time it is a seafood restaurant so don't order steak! The salad was okay lacking of dressing, the calamari was good along with the sweet chili sauce and finally the clam chowder was actually the best of all! read more

Do not sit outside on the patio. I'm not sure if they were understaffed or our waiter didn't realize he was at work. We never got water. We were there for 90 minutes and I got one beer and no offer to get another. We brought our dog and they offered a water bowl but we never saw that. I think his name was Jack. Jack don't know squat about how to get a decent tip and not be all messed up on pills. read more

It was a beautiful August evening for our latest visit to Bluewater Grill. We dined on the patio area which was delightful. Service was excellent. Wasn't rushed through despite it being a Friday night. Everyone loved their dishes. Valet parking was prompt and courteous. The reason we keep coming back is their consistent good service, good food and good value. Cheers! read more

Was brought to Bluewater Grill earlier this month by my husband to celebrate my birthday. He had made a reservation and requested a table adjacent to the marina. Overlooking the marina and sun setting as we dined was truly enjoyable! Our dining selections were delightfully plated, an eye treat and truly tasteful. We opted for calamari as the appetizer, a family favorite. And for our main dishes included, blackend cod, seared salmon and fish and chips. Husband and I requested a mojito and margarita respectively and were also surprised with a birthday ice cream treat. Very nice place to return to and try other treats!) read more

This is a great place to have some good seafood for lunch or dinner. We came on a Sunday at 1pm and got sat along the windows with a nice view of the marina. The waiter brings warm sourdough bread while you read the menu too! The clam chowder is a must-have here, it came out very hot and tasted good. The fish sandwich is delicious and light, you can choose to switch the fries with their other sides- we highly recommend the fingerling potatoes. The fish and chips are also delicious and well battered. The service here is great, the entire staff is friendly and frequently come to make sure the table is doing good. read more

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The valet service was so easy and so cheap! Only $6. The restaurant is in a perfect location, with panoramic views of the boats and the harbor from almost every single table. We came here for my grandpa's 90th birthday and they made it so special. They gave us a large, 9 person table that was off in its own corner. Very private and incredible views. The seared ahi salad was amazing, I loved how it came with hummus! The black cod was also so delicious. The space itself is huge. There was an entire group upstairs for a celebration of life and we didn't hear them at all downstairs. Janice was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She refilled our drinks without even asking. She was so kind. She let us bring in our own bottle of champagne for free and even chilled it for us on ice with salt. I loved the vibes, it was cool how they have so many different kinds of fish on the walls as decor. read more

Bluewater Grill Seafood Restaurant Redondo Beach - Seafood Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Honestly? I don't think the quality of the food is fantastic. The views are incredible and location is great, but the quality of the food doesn't match. My favorite of the dishes we ordered was the poke, and I would get that again - flavor was on point and fish tasted fresh, but the other dishes were a bit lack luster. I split the miso fish dish (seasonal special) and the lobster roll. The lobster roll was fine and the rice and the green beans in the miso dish were not fantastic. The green beans seemed overcooked - they could have blanched them to maintain a bright green color (see picture). They put minute maid lemonade in their Arnold palmers, which honestly, I don't understand since the artificial flavor is unappetizing. Service was great, though! Matt was friendly and responsive, so that is a plus. The hostess was fine but didn't seem very friendly towards our kiddos. Not sure if I would return because of the quality of the food. If I did, would just get the poke as a main dish. read more

I have been to Blue Water Grill for Happy Hours or drinks when meeting friends at King Harbor but first time for a meal. Their service and food were excellent and they have a big menu where there is something for everyone. Also, I always enjoy this place since there is a place for everyone: single at the bar, romantic couple, groups of friends of all sizes, to families of all sizes. I think we were like the 5th family to celebrate a birthday that Sunday afternoon. We went for a Sunday Birthday brunch with a 4 month old baby in our group of 5 and just have to thank the management and staff for being so accommodating and amazing. From the valet, hosts, server to bussers, everyone was professional, friendly and went the extra step so we can have the most pleasant and comfortable dining experience. The food was excellent, especially at the price offered and definitely coming again. We started the meal with a few appetizers: Ponzu Sashimi Sea Scallops and Oysters from WA state and the Crispy Calamari. The best bite definitely goes to the Ponzu Sashimi Sea Scallops. Can't go wrong with Oysters on a half shell from WA state, which is always sweet than briney. Also the crispy calamari was decent portion to share among 4 people with being crispy and not oily. We also enjoyed their salads: Seafood Louis Salad was great with fresh vegetable and good amount of shrimp and crab meat. We did ask for half the dressing and pre-tossed. The Misoyaki Butterfish (Black Cod) was excellent as well as the Lobster Roll. The Bouillabaisse was decent since the ingredients was fresh but the sauce was a bit lacking. Finally, the bread was delicious. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We didn't end up having room for dessert, but the bread was worth it! read more

I applaud Bluewater Grill for hosting a recent Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Love seeing local businesses support each other. It was my first-time dining at Bluewater Grill and my visit made me regret not eating there sooner. Had a bad experience with a wild salmon entree years ago at Saddle Peak Lodge and haven't been able to eat cooked salmon since. Nothing like a perfectly-prepared, high-quality piece of salmon to reintroduce me to this dish- it was quite excellent. Combine that with the earnest and friendly service, and ample parking, and I am now a repeat Bluewater Grill customer. The 4-star rating reflects that, although the location is picturesque (on the harbor), decor is fine, but dated. A bit of a makeover and this could have more of a Dear Jane's white-tablecloth, fine dining-ish vibe. Bon Appétit. read more

The Bluewater Grill is a great old style seafood restaurant. Great location in Redondo Beach on the Marina, and valet parking! The Bluewater is a good ol standby... If you're craving old school seafood, amd sourdough bread with butter, this is the place. No exactly high end, but it's not a Red Lobster either. I like their halibut and sea bass. They have a huge menu, so you have lots of choices. All in all this place hits the spot when you need it to. The service and food are consistently good and friendly, the atmosphere is nice and being on the marina makes it better for early evenings and sunsets. Great for families and large parties. Enjoy! read more

What great service. Kelly was truly the best. From the beginning with our group of 9 women she was so attentive, professional and delightful. She was honest and her recommendations were helpful and spot on!! Despite the place getting busy she was always there when we needed something and we never waited long for the food or drinks. Kelly anticipated what we might need like more hot water for tea or coffee or special desserts or helping figure out our bill with us trying to pay with multiple credit cards. The ambience was so nice also. But Kelly's attention to detail and her ease of doing such a fabulous job made it perfect. We will always request her section. read more

You're simply the best! From the way you treat your locals to the best New England clam chowder with hot sourdough bread. We love you!

My friend suggested we grab lunch here today & we ordered the seafood Louie salad & clam chowder to share. As we were waiting for our food to arrive, we were served sourdough bread & I had a glass of white wine. Sourdough was good! It was soft & warm. Clam chowder was full of flavor & crab & shrimp salad was fresh & surprisingly filling. Ambiance was spacious with a nice view of the dockside. Service was on the slower side but great customer service. The menu had ample selection of food including their brunch menu so I look forward to returning back to try other items on the menu read more

I was introduced this place through a friend who lives in the area. This is hands down one of my favorite places to visit when I want to go to a sit down restaurant with an ocean view. The oysters and small plates here are always amazing. They have a good rotation of wines that come through as well as more affordable options. They have self parking or valet parking. Staff is always super friendly. Ambience is families, middle aged and seniors. I notice an older crowd when I visit during weekdays. read more

Ambiance was great overlooking the water with easily accessible parking. Went for a birthday luncheon. The food was cooked well & fresh . Service was good, our waiter was kind and prompt. The only issue to be honest was that a huge spider came down onto our table in its web - there needs to be more dusting or cleaning to prevent this, it shook the table up and was shocking during our meal. We were given a free dessert because of this, but again, it was not a pleasant experience dealing with it & killing it. I've been to other locations & will more than likely opt to attend those vs this one again. read more
