    It was the best steak I ever had since Ruth Crisp Steakhouse. The ambience was awesome service was excellent and I can't wait to eat at this pleasant place again to try other dishes. The spicy shrimp appetizer and berry salad are the best pre-meal I every had in a long time.

    Book a reservation to celebrate Valentines together , and only one word describes the whole experience. Phenomenal. We started off we our cocktails which were crafted to perfection, my love ordered a limoncello drop martini and I ordered a pineapple Moscow mule the taste of our drinks were sublime. Then we both shared a handcrafted Cesar salad, you can tell everything was made about the salad was in house made and the cuts of romaine was fresh and crisp. For our main course we both decided on something new to our pallets , she had a salmon Favalli and I had to try the squid ink spaghetti, both dishes were amazing the sauce in the salmon dish had a very great note to it , and the squid ink spaghetti in the mushroom sauce was absolutely divine , to finish off our night we share a fresh cannoli and it was very delicious, 12/10 will come back again , I want to try the veal or maybe the filet mignon and she was thinking the gnocchi. Thank you to the staff for bringing the whole night together.

    My husband and I love Bluewater Grill for various reasons, the main ones being that it reminds us of the excellent seafood of San Francisco where we both lived in prior decades, and the other being the quality of their cuisine, the serious and wholehearted restaurant effort above and beyond the average restaurant out there, and all of this for a very reasonable price. Every time and every dish we have experienced at Bluewater Grill has not disappointed. A first class dining experience for an appropriate price. We recommend this wonderful restaurant to anyone looking for fresh and delicious seafood.

    Really enjoyed my Birthday lunch at this neighborhood gem. We were greeted with friendly smiles and received prompt service. We ordered Kung Pao shrimp, Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour chicken, Vegetarian egg rolls, Fried and steamed rice, California rolls, and egg drop soup. We have zero complaints with any dish! It was absolutely delicious and served hot. We will keep coming back as long as PF Changs quality in service and food stays this amazing.
