Little hometown place. Nice crowd and good atmosphere. Service was good but slow. Food was hit or miss. Taco salad was super bland. Don't get it. Wet burrito was really good. Gyro was good but hardly any meat and too much sauce! Appetizer sampler with mushrooms, pickles and cheese curds was so small we joked about it. Only the cheese curds were good.

My sister lives in Rockford and this gem is walking distance from her place. Tuesday night was packed and our service was exceptional. I ordered my favorite Mexican meal the wet burrito. It was amazing. It comes with refried beans that were spot on. The margaritas were especially delicious They also had music which made the experience even better.

Very loose COVID-19 standards. The fish fry was a great meal for $9.99. I was not impressed with the thin sirlion steak. Wish they had cider on tap.

I wasn't impressed. It was open, I found it loud and hard to socialize. They were busy on a Thursday evening, does down and starting to pick up again. The waitress was friendly and accommodating to my drink order (I really hate, margarita glasses), the margarita was also very sour too. We had plenty of time to make decisions. We placed orders. Then the waitress was MIA for quite sometime. She did come back after about 30 minutes stating out food was coming. About 45 minutes we had our food. I had the fish tacos with a spicy jalapeño ranch (it really wasn't very spicy). The tacos were pretty good, except I thought the slaw had a little too much vinegar. Overall, I don't think I would meet up here again. It might be okay if you sat at the bar.

Marinara sauce for days.

Everything went wrong that possibly could. Giving it two stars instead of 1 because I can't imagine it is always that atrocious.

hidden (to me) vegan gem! blue water has never been on my radar for vegan options but they have…read moreplenty. blue water is actually on the water so the view while dining is lovely. there's an upstairs with all indoor seating and lots of windows. the downstairs area is partially covered and opens up to a patio + water view. there are bars both up and downstairs. our server was quick and attentive. though they were busy we received our food very quickly. they have multiple vegan meat substitutes and vegan cheese that you can swap into meals. they also have entrees that are vegan without adjustments. bread is available upon request with entrees and the bread itself is vegan. just make sure you ask for the oil without the cheese. on our first trip we ordered the wild mushroom polenta and the vegan "buttered" cauliflower. one our second trip we ordered the asparagus pizza and the wild mushroom polenta again. they also have a great kids menu. for our daughter we ordered the cavatappi (marinara sauce on the side) and fresh fruit as her side which was an assortments of berries. the asparagus pizza was delicious - pesto, balsamic, and fresh greens on top. the buttered cauliflower was a little undercooked, both the rice and the cauliflower, but the flavors were delicious. the wild mushroom polenta was the star of the show for me with a cashew cream sauce and umami broth. overall a great dining experience and great food.

Blue Water continues to be a family favorite. The menu evolves from time to time, but there are…read moresome items that never change like the Blu Bar Eggrolls, the Blue Water Tacos and some of their signature salads. My boys have always loved this place and I do too. In summer, the outside space is perfect for having a relaxing lunch while the interior fireplaces provide comfort on a cold, blustery day. I have not had anything but good service as long as I can remember. They have had several burger options over the years, and all of them have been excellent. This will continue to be one of my favorite places for lunch or dinner.
