We discovered this place online while searching for shrimp tacos since Lent had just started and we…read morewere avoiding meat today. Overall, our experience landed somewhere in the middle, there were definite highlights along with a few areas that could use some improvement. We started with the calamari, which unfortunately seemed a bit overcooked and had a slightly rubbery texture. The chips and salsa, however, were a strong start, the salsa tasted fresh and flavorful. The shrimp tacos were well prepared, juicy, and nicely seasoned. The rice also stood out with really good flavor. On the other hand, the crab in the siete mares soup didn't taste as fresh as expected and had a slightly off note to it. The aguas frescas were refreshing and enjoyable. One small surprise was that refills are not offered (unlike many similar spots), which we only realized when the bill arrived. Service was a highlight of the visit. Our waitress was warm, attentive, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. She offered helpful suggestions and created a welcoming experience from the moment we walked in. The classic cultural décor and overall ambiance gave the space a pleasant, comfortable vibe. While the food experience was mixed for us this visit, the excellent service and inviting atmosphere made the experience enjoyable overall, and we hope to see some refinements in the future.

WOW! This was my first time at the Bluewater Grill, and it was superb!…read more It was a busy Friday evening with the place packed, but wow! The fried calamari was wonderful. The shrimp cocktail was fabulous. Their fish and chips were fabulous. I opted for the grilled asparagus instead of the chips. The best I've EVER HAD! The service was outstanding. If there was anything less than stellar, it'd be the parking, but that's nitpicking in contrast to the food, service, and ambiance. It is on the pricey side, but the value in everything else easily makes any parking concerns trivial. I am already looking forward to the next time. Great Job team Bluewater Grill!

My family and I have been coming here for years, today we went to celebrate my sister's graduation,…read morethis is her favorite restaurant. Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

Today was especially meaningful for my family as we celebrated my mother's 3-year anniversary of receiving her kidney transplant at the Mayo Clinic. From the moment we sat down, our waiter, Leandrew, welcomed us with such a warm and inviting smile. He immediately began offering recommendations and was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. To say he knew the dishes well would be an understatement -- he could explain every ingredient in detail for anything we asked about. We always start with the Lump Crab & Spinach Dip with crostinis, and as always, it was absolutely to die for. For our entrées, we each ordered the salmon topped with shrimp and lump crab meat, finished with a rich butter sauce and mashed potato purée. Despite how busy the restaurant was, everything came out quickly and tasted absolutely magical. While the food was phenomenal, the service is truly what made this experience unforgettable. Leandrew went above and beyond, and I genuinely hope he receives the recognition he deserves. We'll absolutely be back again. Until next time!

The oysters were also good but the mignonette was insanely vinegary. And I like vinegar but even a couple drops made it so overpowering. I ended up finishing the rest of my oysters with no "dressing". My wife's poke bowl tasted fantastic and was well balanced. I did feel it was rather expensive for what it was. Additionally, the last part of this review I feel is likely an outlier (hence why I'm still giving 3 stars), but I need to mention it. My wife and I both got very sick, in the exact same way, after eating here. The item we shared was the poke bowl. It started with her and hit me several hours after her. Because of this, we will not be back.
