Absolutely phenomenal food, service and overall experience. I visited during lunch and the view was gorgeous. I also had the opportunity to interact with Derik, one of the managers and he was incredibly kind and attentive. I'm from out of state but he took the time to answer all of my questions. Highly recommend if you you are looking for incredible food and top notch experience. read more

Bluewater Boathouse is truly a special place. Located right by the water in beautiful Coronado, the setting is absolutely breathtaking--but for me, this place carries an extra special sentimental meaning that makes it unforgettable.... (you know who you are) Everything was perfect, from the beautiful waterfront atmosphere to the food, service, and attention to detail. There's something about being surrounded by the water, the views, and the peaceful energy of this place that makes you want to slow down and appreciate the moment. Some places you visit, and some places become part of your memories. Bluewater Boathouse will always be one of those places for me. Beautiful, memorable, and absolutely worth experiencing. read more

The ambiance here was fantastic--super clean and very inviting from the moment we walked in. Our server, Logan, was so welcoming and friendly. He gave great recommendations on the specials and paid close attention to all of our custom dietary requests and modifications, which we really appreciated. Overall, everything was wonderful. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

What a shame for a vacation restaurant. This place looked great online but once we drove to it I was sadly mistaken the place has no AC and it's clear it's historical but they just have random fans and the service was boring. Nothing happening it's more a retirement dinner than a fancy place. The ribs were so dry and my wife said the lobster roll was as well, the butter was oily for the roll and I had to smoother the bbq ribs in barbecue to make it decent. Generally I like to give a place a shot, this was just a weird night bad service and a bad experience overall. I gave it two stars cause I know it's not a dive and it could be better. Just the experience was not worth the $100+ dinner. read more

This was my favorite restaurant during my 1 week trip to san diego. The actual building is a boathouse on the water which is pretty cool. The lighting makes it even more enjoyable at night. Service was great even though there was a litttle bit of a wait. It was a little hot as this was during summer, but they do have many fans throughout the restaurant to help cool down the place. I didnt expect everything we ate to be so good. From the bread bowl clam chowder, to the sear scallops, to the fresh tuna, to the ciopinno. Even served good drinks and beer. We ate so much thay we couldn't even think of dessert. They serve very good sized portions that you wont be disappointed by the amount of food and the flavor. Its not too expensive neither for what youre getting. I will definitely recommend this place and will certainly be back. read more

It was 1,000,000° at our house so we fled to Coronado. I'm a sucker for a good happy hour and Bluewater boathouse has excellent options for both food and drink. My wife got the shrimp tacos and I got the Phoenix sushi roll. Both were delicious, but the real star of the show was the view if you have any friends from out of town, this would be a phenomenal spot to give a Bay view of Coronado. read more

Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Restaurant Coronado - Great happy hour table - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

Stayed at Hotel Coronado and had a terrible experience at one of their restaurants, so in a 'fool me once' decision, we decided not to eat on property again, and we came over to Bluewater. Old School Seafood spot with excellent service. We had delicious oysters, NE Clam Chowder, a lobster roll and a Louie Salad. Soup was very tasty. Lobster Roll was very good, but the roll is too big and it looks like a smaller amount of lobster than it is. So it kind of detracts from the enjoyment. Still, a good sandwich and good fries. Louie was good, but oddly served with mixed greens rather than traditional romaine or iceberg. While it was good, I'd pass on this one with mixed greens. While not perfect, we'd definitely return. read more

Came here in August when I was in town for a comvention. Always great food and service. Clam chowder is great, also crab Louie and fish/chips. My mom lived the wedge salad when she visits. read more

This restaurant is beautiful and located right across the Coronado hotel which was a bonus. I got the bowl clam chowder which was 9/10 and fish and chips were 7/10. Our table also ordered calamari and oysters for apps and since our server went on break, it was never put in the system which is forgivable. But they asked us 2 more times about the forgotten apps when we were already eating our entrees. We ended up still wanting the oysters but came when we were done with the meal. It was a little bit of an inconvenience and nothing was comped for it unfortunately. Other than that, it would have been a 5 star experience. read more

Another wonderful dining experience at Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Restaurant in Coronado! We started with the garlic Parmesan fries and a spicy tuna roll, both of which were delicious. Our fantastic server, Reid, recommended a High Spot, 182 IPA that paired perfectly with our meal. We were lucky to be seated on the second floor, where the breathtaking waterfront views made the experience even more special. To finish, we ordered the Firecracker Shrimp with minced garlic and chili flakes--packed with flavor and the perfect ending to our meal. The relaxing atmosphere, attentive service, and stunning views made this the perfect place to unwind. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Coronado! read more

This place was so good we went three times during our stay. The first time, we had drinks at the bar. Ben, the bartender, was very attentive and made great suggestions. The next visit, we had the cold lobster roll with fries, blackened fish and chips. The lobster roll was so good! The buttered roll was delish! The blackened catfish was SUPER spicy! My husband loved it. On our last visit, we had the Manhattan clam chowder, the New England clam chowder, prawns & linguine, and the bouillabaisse. The chowders were so good. I could have just eaten those and been happy. If you can't decide between the two, they will give you half and half - mixed. The prawns were HUGE and tender. The sauce on the linguine was light and bursting with herby goodness. My husband loved the bouillabaisse which was full of fish, scallops, mussels, etc. The restaurant sits in Glorietta Bay which is just across the street from the Hotel del Coronado. It's very coastal in feel and decor. Hannah and Alec were our servers on both of the dinner nights. Both were excellent servers. read more

Not bad. The location is great. The parking is much easier. The food is.....generically decent. Mai tai had a respectable amount of rum in it. I like that they had a red manhattan chowder in addition to the normal white chowder. Although, the seafood flavor was still subdued as usual, nowhere close to what I prefer. Edamame was fine. Fish tacos were also just a very standard, bland American flavor with cabbage and tomato, but the fish was not bad. Java mud pie was good. As a personal preference, I did find that the chocolate and crust were a bit hard. read more

Unfortunately I got severely ill here from food poisoning. Under no circumstances should you consider ordering the clams and mussels here. I did and spent the rest of my vacation in the bathroom feeling utterly miserable. When I called the restaurant and spoke to a manager - I was told I would get a call back from the general manager. I never heard from them again. Too bad I had a wasted meal and a wasted vacation thanks to this restaurant's food. read more

The food and the service was incredible! Went here with family to just have lunch. Me and my parents were waiting for my other family members to arrive. Nothing but good vibes! Our server, I think her name was Adriana or Adriene sorry if I got it wrong was the most helpful and sweetest server ever! The food you cannot beat everything was good from the appetizers to the main courses. Oh and don't forget the drinks! Highly recommended if you are in the area! And they had the World Cup playing! That was a super plus! read more

Nick was an on point server. We came for Lunch and wanted a sample of small plate. His recommendations were great. The scallops were delicious and cooked to perfection as was the crab cakes. The ahi tuna pike full of flavor and fresh. The surfrider roll was also fresh and full of flavor and texture. Of course eating in the water provided a great dining ambience! Don't pass this place up! read more

The iconic cupola style consistent with the historical character of the Hotel Del Coronado, this restaurant which was once a boat house has been serving fantastic seafood surrounded by stunning views of Glorietta Bay. Plenty of free parking on the lot steps away from the entrance. The covered outdoor patio is our preferred seating. Views of the bay, boats, and mini yachts docked is always fun to see. Have dined here a few times and we always order our favorites: spicy Bloody Mary, Sand Dabs and Norwegian Salmon all presented nicely and tasted as good as it looked. Service from the staff and waitress all times we were here was cordial, attentive and accommodating. There were times we sent back something for being too salty and the kitchen were accommodating and apologetic enough to correct it or offer another dish as they should. Have only dined here during late lunch but I've heard the Happy Hour and dinner times are great and gets busy and a fun to do. Sipping on a spirited drink with spectacular bay views is living the good life... Bluewater cheers!! Recommend read more

We came here for dinner the other night for the first time. Funny enough, we originally meant to go to Blue Water and thought this was the same restaurant as the ones in OB and Point Loma -- turns out it's a similar name, but a completely different restaurant (those are just "Blue Water"). We were seated right away, which was great. We ordered the calamari and clam chowder to start. For mains, my husband had the pan-seared striped bass, I ordered the misoyaki cod, and our friend had the swordfish. Overall, the food was mediocre for the price. The standout dish for us was the clam chowder -- it was the only thing we really enjoyed. My misoyaki cod lacked flavor; I could barely taste the miso and it felt like it needed to be marinated longer. The rice that came with it was also overly greasy, too much soy sauce on the bottom, almost like too much oil or butter, and I couldn't finish it. My husband's striped bass tasted better than my dish, and the swordfish was just okay. Overall, for what you pay, we weren't very impressed with the food. It wasn't bad, but it didn't live up to our expectations. read more

Fabulous food, great service the best water front table anywhere!! We had the best table in the restaurant with fabulous harbor front view! I am happy to sit there! Our server is friendly and professional, providing us with excellent service. I can't help but to order the house favorite! Not all fish and chips are made equal. This is the best I have ever had so far. Each beer battered crust is so crispy I can hear the sound of it! Inside cod fish cube are so tender and juice and is cooked to perfection! Even the fries, coleslaw are delicious! The crab legs and artichoke dipping sauce has a perfectly baked golden crust on top and is very delicious! When we visit Beautiful San Diego again this Bluewater Boat House will be my MUST return restaurant! See you soon! read more

My wife and I had a gift card for a decent amount for Bluewater Grill. We were sat outside and it was a little chilly - sadly the heater didn't provide enough warmth but the food made up for it. We started with crispy calamari and it was nicely cooked and provided a nice start to our yummy dinner. My wife got the Ahi which was light and flavorful. I got the Black Cod and it was perfectly cooked. The green beans were nice additions to both of our plates. I typically don't get fish at a restaurant but when in Rome... It was an enjoyable dinner and Bluewater Grill definitely had my recommendation. read more

A great spot right on the water! It was our first time here and we already cannot wait to come back again. We were able to snag a reservation and got seated on time with a great view. It did have a wait by the end of our meal so I'd recommend a reservation here. The inside is nice. Definitely that coastal/beachy vibe that was exactly what we wanted. The service was excellent throughout our whole meal! Food wise, delicious! Everything we ordered was cooked so well and tasted great! We started with the oysters which were a great appetizer. We both ordered the local fish entrees - Misoyaki Butterfish and the Gold Spotted Sea Bass. I'd give the Butterfish the win on this both both were excellent! They have a nice drink menu as well. The kids meals are tiny, definitely more individually sized at best. After dinner, walk over to the beach and go catch the sunset! Perfect evening in Coronado. read more

First time having lunch at Bluewater Grill in Coronado. It sits next to the marina, opposite of Hotel Del Coronado. According to its website, "the iconic cupola-adorned landmark was built in 1887 as a design prototype for the Hotel del Coronado located across the street". It has the same red/ white facade as the famous hotel. We sat next to the water under heat lamp. We ordered the crab and avocado salad, crab cakes appetizers and pan-seared salmon entree and had complimentary sourdough bread and butter. Everything was so delicious, especially the salmon which was seared perfectly. Before we knew it, we realized we have forgotten to take photos of the food! Our server was very delightful. Great lunch! read more

This is our GO-TO place whenever one of us is craving seafood! This seared ahi salad is AMAZING ! I can't say enough good things about this salad and the restaurant overall! From the salad to fish and chips to tacos or sandwiches! This place has all your seafood cravings covered! They recently upgraded inside and now offer a FULL bar! You can sit outside on the patio, at the bar or at one of their many tables. The food is top notch and you can even buy fresh catch of the day and take it home! The service is excellent in a casual relaxed atmosphere. The views from outside are spectacular especially if you go around sunset! Don't over look this place! I almost don't want everyone to come because I don't want to have to wait any longer than we already have to! Best seafood in San Diego! read more

Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Restaurant Coronado - Seared Ahi Salad! This was the BEST SALAD EVER! - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

Food: 4/5 - the food was good, but not great. We got the Lobster Roll and it was only okay...I've definitely had much better on the East Coast. The fish and chips were a large order and can be split for 2 easily. Chowder was rich, but didn't have that much seafood in it. Service: 4/5 - no complaints, not over the top, but not bad Ambiance: 5/5 - sitting right on the water, looking into the pier and boats was fantastic. This felt like vacation for us! Sitting down here for our first meal in San Diego kick started a great trip read more

Great service! Our waiter could not have been nicer or more patient - and I even brought my most annoyingly embarrassing and cheap (but still awkwardly lovable) best friend and his new girlfriend - and the staff and our waiter was still awesome. The setting and feel was absolutely money and the view was fire. Everyone inhaled their food and - despite complaining about the check later - had absolutely ZERO complaints. Worth every penny. Treat yourself. After lunch, the boys and I (pretended) to crab hunt at the water... they climbed on the rocks and I told them to get closer so I could join them .. and then loudly sighed and acted upset when the crabs ran and hid under the rocks :::laughs::: I know... you are reading this and now desperately want to have an expensive meal and be as awesome as a mother as me. Who can blame you?! Hahahahah read more

UPDATE: After my original experience, Derik, the General Manager, reached out and invited us back to give Bluewater another chance. I'm really glad we took him up on it. Our second visit was a completely different experience. Derik was awesome, and our waiter, Roger, took great care of us throughout the evening. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and we ended up having a genuinely great night. I have a lot of respect for businesses that truly care about their customers and are willing to make things right when an experience falls short. Our first visit was disappointing, but I honestly have even more respect for Bluewater after seeing how Derik and the team handled it. They went above and beyond to have us back and completely changed my impression of the restaurant. Every restaurant can have an off night, but how a business responds says a lot about them. Thank you again to Derik, Roger, and the team for taking such good care of us. We will absolutely be back. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Unfortunately, our first visit was very disappointing. The service was slow and inattentive throughout the evening, we had to repeatedly ask other staff members for help, and one of our food orders came out incorrectly. Since we had chosen Bluewater for my 29th birthday dinner, it was especially disappointing to leave feeling like the service had overshadowed the evening. Thankfully, the way Derik and the team handled everything afterward completely changed my perspective. read more

This was a posh, quintessential fish restaurant in Coronado, complete with a red roof and a great view... We stopped in for super-early lunch with no reservations...and no problem! In addition to the nice-yet-cozy ambiance, and I loved their menu...so many items I wanted to tryI I was craving Clam Chowder and Lobster Roll, so that's what I chose...and my husband got this Roasted Striped Bass. Well, as anticipated, everything was DEE-Lish! In fact, I can't recall having a Clam Chowder and Lobster Roll THIS good in a long time! 5-Star dining experience for sure!

My wife and I decided to try Bluewater Boathouse for our anniversy. The service and atmosphere were great. The location is so beautiful and serene. However the food was hit and miss. My wife's lobster tail was really tasty. However, I got the halibut and it was the worst halibut I have ever had. It was very dry, like cardboard, and had no sauce on it. I had a hard time choking it down, and I am typically not very picky at all. read more
