“Bluewater Grill in Newport Beach was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The waterfront location provides beautiful views and creates the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and you could truly taste the quality of the ingredients. The seafood was especially outstanding, and the portions were generous. What made the experience even more memorable was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel valued as guests. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a family dinner, or simply looking for great seafood with a stunning harbor view, Bluewater Grill is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon!”
“We came back here after I gave a poor review. The owner invited us back at his expense. This time we came for lunch. The meal was great! The service excellent. We sat inside since it was very windy outside. There wete people sitting outside and the restaurant made a great effort to keep the wind down by lowering the shades. We had the crab cakes, Manhattan clam chowder, lobster roll, and the crab avocado salad.”
“Had a wonderful birthday dinner with fam, delicious food and drink and great weather sitting outside! Walter was our server and was terrific! Highly recommend!”
“We had such a fantastic experience at Blue Water Grill tonight! Our server, Julie S. was fantastic and highly knowledgeable. She was so helpful in making recommendations, and she was happy and attentive. She has almost 10 years of serving experience at this restaurant and she was so gracious. The restaurant is lively. We decide to sit at open seating lounge tables which was nice because it felt tucked away and relaxed. I loved the dim ambiance and music. Great location and lovely experience. The food was flavorful and fresh. We dined family style and just kept ordering more and more dishes to share.”
“Let’s start with the food was tasty, not mind blowing but tasty. The evening we went there were no specials so we ordered straight from the menu. The menu has many choices and if you like seafood you are sure to find something you enjoy. The ambiance is very casual. The booths and tables remind me of a diner. The location tho is super nice. Parking is difficult to find so you may have to valet for a $7 fee. The service was simply awful. We went there for my birthday. We had a party of 6 with a reservation. The restaurant was virtually empty when we went so there seemed to be many table choices. Unfortunately we were given a booth, which we did not want, and when we asked for a round table or other table we were told no. It was not until we were walking out to go to the restaurant next door were we given a different table. The waiter was not attentive and didn’t seem to know the menu. When we asked for something or a question he would disappear for 15 minutes or so. We were literally sitting at the table without ordering for over 1/2 an hour. Fortunately they did at least bring us water. This service continued throughout the meal. Do not think I need to return :(”
