    Service was very slow. We had our appetizers finished for an hour, by the time they came to take our order we were ready to leave. So, we ordered deserts and closed the bill.

    Great evening! Kristin, our waitress, was sweet and knowledgeable. She provided great service. The food was delicious. I had the striped bass and it was great. Oyster shooter was yummy. I’m craving another. Thanks for a wonderful Valentine’s evening.

    Enjoyed our off-peak experience at Bluewater. Oysters were HUGE - I would bring friends back here for just the oysters. Waiter was very kind. Crab cakes were good too.

    Service very slow. Lobster over cooked. Scalloped potatoes were greasy. Drunken shrimp were great. Wine pairing was great

    We sat out back, between two patio heaters, on a cool, drizzly night, for a perfect ambiance. The food was so delicious, starting with the fresh and soft sourdough bread, and our fish entrees were so well prepared. Service rounded things out for a wonderful night out. Having visited a number of restaurants in the area, I believe this is a well kept secret. This will be a regular spot for us from now on!

    My wife and I had a wonderful birthday experience. Outstanding service and ambiance. Everything tasted great but the crab cakes were a little over done. Have been here many times and will continue to enjoy the food, atmosphere, and coddling by the staff.
