WOW! This was my first time at the Bluewater Grill, and it was superb! It was a busy Friday evening with the place packed, but wow! The fried calamari was wonderful. The shrimp cocktail was fabulous. Their fish and chips were fabulous. I opted for the grilled asparagus instead of the chips. The best I've EVER HAD! The service was outstanding. If there was anything less than stellar, it'd be the parking, but that's nitpicking in contrast to the food, service, and ambiance. It is on the pricey side, but the value in everything else easily makes any parking concerns trivial. I am already looking forward to the next time. Great Job team Bluewater Grill! read more

This was our first time at bluewater grill, but it won't be our last. I will let first warn you that parking can be crazy, which is often the case when a place shares a parking lot with the gym. There is an EOS in the same center, and I have a sneaky suspicion that's the reason for it lack of parking. Steve I'm back walking out and got a space right near the door. It's kind of cool because the building is raised up almost like it's on up here and there's blue lighting underneath the building at night. When you walk in there is a dining room area in the bar, there is a another large dining room, and when you walk through there there is a different room that is the sushi bar. The sushi bar is so cute with counter seating as well as some seating around the room. The dining room we were in had a glass ceiling, but the shades were pulled. I'm guessing because it was a bright and hot day. Fair are life-size "fish" hanging around the dining room, and what's really great is that the server seem to know what each of these fish is. I asked about a large red one and the server knew immediately that it was an opah. I found it really quite interesting. Our server was very cheerful, knowledgeable, and really on her toes. She was working hard for her money because this place was really packed. And even though she was clearly busy, she managed to be extremely attentive and checked on this often. She immediately brought our water and probably came back for our cocktail orders. We ordered a couple of drinks and I serve her bought us hot sourdough bread with butter. It was really good. Despite not knowing what a sand dab is, after speaking with the server I ended up giving it a try. Sand dabs are a small fish similar to flounder that are delicacy in california. My order came with three sand fans, and it was delicious. It reminded me of swai, which I love but is hard to find in restaurants. It had a wonderful buttery flavor and topped with the beurre blanc with capers, it was delicious. It was hard with a yummy scalloped potatoes and green beans. It was a 10 out of 10 for me. Hubby got the trout almondine with the scalloped potatoes and green beans. His trout was quite large. Both of us were very happy with our choices. We were quite happy with our experience here. There aren't a lot of seafood options in the area, but this is a solid choice. Prices are not terrible either which is another added bonus! read more

Another great night at Bluewater Grill. I've been coming here for years... starting with the original location. Last minute decision to come tonight not realizing that it is Friday and Lent!! Place was packed. Waited for first available anything! Was able to get a high top in the bar area! So happy to have Ashley as our server! She was incredible!! Let us know about some great items and suggestions on our order. Didn't take photos tonight as we were focused on our food and drink. House wine, margarita. Clam chowder, scallop dinner and crab cake appetizer. The bread is always my favorite! Thank you Ashley and Jeff ( can't forget the big man) for getting us seated and enjoying yet another great night at Bluewater. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 7:30 PM. It was busy, but there were still seats available. We were seated right away, which was a great start to the evening. The manager, Steve, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable as soon as we walked in. The restaurant itself is very spacious and clean, with a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The service was great throughout the night, and our food arrived quickly without feeling rushed. We ordered the fresh West Coast oysters, and they were absolutely amazing -- fresh, clean, and full of flavor. The clam chowder was also really good and well-seasoned. Both grilled fish entrées were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The sides were okay -- nothing particularly special. The green beans were overly cooked, so they were soft and not very well seasoned. The scalloped potatoes were okay, in my opinion. Andy, one of the staff members, was friendly, nice, and efficient. Overall, this was a great dining experience with excellent service and delicious food. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others looking for a nice seafood spot. read more

Always great food Fantastic Happy Hour A seafood restaurant built from a family passion mixture of culinary experts and active fishers. Many locations, equally fantastic. A newish location for Bluewater, now conveniently located off 51 and Bethany The best selection of seafood in Phoenix, Scottsdale... great unique sushi, fish market and huge bar. Happy Hour, 3-6... only place you can find Guinness on a Happy Hour menu, amongst all drafts. Great selection of oysters, also on Happy Hour. Huge menu of fish and meat & salads As you are seated, you are served a jug of water and fresh baked sourdough. One of the best features of their Happy Hour is that the servings are just the same as the regular priced dishes. Fish tacos, stuffed with actual cod, not just any white fish that's cheaply available. Premium and traditional sushi rolls. Equally sized on their Happy Hour menu. Quality and prices have held up through the 15 years I've been frequenting Bluewater. Never had a bad dish or bad experience read more

Even when I screw up the management of Blue Water Grill comes to my rescue. I erroneously booked a reservation for Saturday when I meant to book it for Friday. So I show up on Friday for my birthday dinner and they didn't have me listed. Of course they didn't. I messed up. But graciously and methodically they figured out a way to get me seated. The food didn't disappoint. Wonderful shrimp and fried cod. The asparagus was phenomenal-- nicely charred. My birthday dessert was yummy. Thank you guys. I love your restaurant but I like u as people even more.!! read more

Decided to go here after reading through reviews. We live in Queen creek so its about 45-50 minutes away. Wow was I really disappointed. I wanted the fried clams...for the appetizer it was $25 and they just tasted like the breading. The best thing I had was a cup of clam chowder. Firecracker shrimp was just ok. My husband got the Bouillabaisse and I got a piece of beer batter fish, the lobster roll with ceasar salad. Both the Bouillabaisse and the Lobster roll lacked flavor. The lobster on the roll tasted like it was previously frozen and not fresh. We didn't even stay to try dessert. read more

We celebrated our daughter's birthday at Bluewater Grill. Brian, our server, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Great focus on customer service. We were happy to be seated at a round table making conversation easy. Noise level was low. We were able to take advantage of happy hour which was on a Saturday from 12 to 5. We ordered the following: Captain's Mai tai, Cucumber Mojito, El Cubano (rum, coke, and lime) and a Coconut Margarita. We enjoyed the freshness of the mojito. The toasted coconut was a nice addition to the margarita. My husband said the Mai tai was just ok but my son loved it. We would not order the El Cubano again. You could tell that all the entrees were made with fresh ingredients. We skipped appetizers, however, the sourdough bread with butter was served straight from the ovens. We ordered the: Rainbow Trout Amandine ($28.50) - the lemon buerre blanc was served on the side, nice portion of trout, flavor was good. We would have liked a few more capers. Scalloped potatoes were excellent. Green beans were plain. Cedar Plank Salmon served on a cedar plank ($34) with a maple dijon glaze. We enjoyed the flavor of the glaze, not too sweet, however, we felt the portion of salmon could have been larger for the price. We subbed fries for the asparagus. San Francisco Cioppino with clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, scallops and fish ($40) was the star of the dinner. We paid the upcharge of $2.00 to include linguini with the dish. Plenty of seafood and served with a bib! Beautiful presentation. Large portions. We were too full to order dessert, however, the server brought out two servings of ice cream with lit candles to celebrate our birthdays. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends. read more

I love attentive waitstaff! And the waitstaff is attentive! It is like being catered to and a wonderful dinning experience. Thank you for making me feel important. I order oysters! My word! My word! My word! When I tell you the freshness of the oysters I am still shaking my head in agreement! The oysters taste clean and briny, not fishy, with sweetness. The texture made my mouth dance. It was excellent in my mouth. I would go back and I can't wait to go back! Let me hurry up and go back! read more

Bluewater Grill - Salmón, tempura sushi, octopus, firecracker shrimp and clam chowder. - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had dinner with a couple of girlfriends at this Bluewater Grill location... It reminded me a lot of it's predecessor, Fish Market, but hadn't been there in many years, and I was more impressed than I expected with the food quality and ambiance. Service was mostly great although we had to wait a bit to place our order and we didn't get proactive water refills. I enjoyed everything I ate including the Caesar Salad, some of my friend's sushi, and the Miso Cod entree. Bluewater Grill has this location and seven others throughout California. I get the feeling it's consistent and has plenty to offer at all of them. I would definitely return for a quality experience and consistent food if in the area... but not sure I'd go out of my way either. read more

The experience and service is always TOP NOTCH here! We've never had a meal we didn't like but our favorites are the San Francisco Cioppino and the Senorita sushi roll with a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. Sushi rolls are always fresh and amazing. Chowder isn't gritty and has plenty of clams. Cioppino is FULL of amazing seafood that is never overcooked. They had the sliding doors open last night so we could dine "Al fresco" in the bar area. Nice crowd at 7:30 but no matter how busy it is, the service never lacks. read more

I can't say this food was bad, because it wasn't. It was EXACTLY what I wanted. However, it was sort of bland and the salmon is almost TOO cooked. I'm a well done salmon kind of girl, but when you do salmon well done on a grill (with skin), it tastes BURNT more than anything else. There is a fine line between crispy skin and burnt skin when grilled, and since I'm a skin eater, burnt skin kind of throws me out of whether or not the salmon as a whole is good. I tried my best to taste past the burnt skin and for the most part, the salmon was good-- but I think they'd be better off pan frying the salmon if they want to leave the skin on. The octopus I ordered was fine but also kind of boring. It was just a boiled tentacle. Nothing special to it. Alas, I do think I'd be back if I were in the area, I'd probably just order different things or modify this order differently. read more

Visited the Bluewater Grill for happy hour. I ordered the other ctoppus to start and the Barramundi for my main dish. The octopus was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was not chewy at all. The Barramundi had a few bites of crab meat on top and was placed on a bed of rice with a sauce. At first glance it's an interesting combo, but once I tasted it, the flavors blended together quite nicely. I highly recommend it each of these dishes. The service was fast and eveyone who helped is was very pleasant. This is definitely a nice happy hour spot to visit. read more

CS was excellent, Ashley our Server was marvelous, very attentive, accommodating and friendly with a great sense of humor. The manager Roger stopped by and even assisted in bringing meals to our table, Jeff was very pleasant and welcoming as this was our first visit and it's been on my bucket list. The restaurant is very clean, bright, nicely decorated and the overall ambiance was Super. The food was so-so, New England Clam Chowder was good, very filling, Sautéed Walleye so-so, fillet was tough, and cool, scalloped potatoes cool, Green Beans were the highlight, fresh and done perfectly. Shrimp Louie Salad was good. Nice Wine List and Craft Cocktail List. Their Fresh Sourdough Bread and Butter Phenomenal. We will try again because of the ambiance and CS from Ashley and the attention we got from The Manager-Jeff Jeff, we will definitely return and appreciate your comments but I'm not one to complain when in the restaurant, the overall experience was fantastic, see you soon.

This is the first time I've been here at the "new" location, which really isn't new any longer! Oh well. Plus, we actually didn't stay but did a pick up order instead. So, technically, I still need to come back and dine in!! I had the seafood platter, and it was delicious!! Shrimp, scallops, and cod: all were great. Instead of fries, I had the cheesy potatoes, and they really were tasty. And, I had spinach, which was cooked just to the other side of cooked. I do like their cocktail sauce for the shrimp, too. I would definitely eat the seafood platter again! read more

This review is for a take-out order. The food was packaged and ready for pick-up at the designated time (4:55 pm). I went and picked it up from the front desk and talked to the greeter/manager. He was very personable. Parking was easy as the parking lot is large. When I got the food home, it was well organized with the cold coleslaw separate from the hot food. I ordered the three piece fish and chips. It was very tasty. My spinach side was wonderful ( as I do like cooked spinach). I also had the cheesy potatoes instead of French fries. They were also very tasty. Although I missed the ambiance of eating at the restaurant, I was very satisfied with my take-out read more

Such a great place with an amazing selection of seafood! We ate at the bar and the bartender was super friendly and personable with great suggestions for drink pairings with the food ( shout out to Cliff!). We have the scallop appetizer which was delicious, my husband ordered a side of Shira to give it a little kick. Then we got the cioppino which was a large bowl to share for two and a cup of chowder. The sourdough was superb with a mouth watering crisp crust and soft center. The place had some T Vs at the bar but wasn't loud and great to carry on a conversation. There's dedicated parking out front which is helpful since it share a lot with other businesses. Would def come back again! read more

Once she did and the rest of my party arrived service improved. The menu has a great selection of seafood and non seafood. I was excited for the walleye.

The server John was awesome. Bluewater grill food. Salmon was great. Bouillabaisse was very poor. Not much shell fish for $36. Will not return read more

We enjoy the ambience of BlueWater Grill. It feels cozy and not too noisy to have a conversation, at least at medium occupancy like the early dinner time we were there. The service is very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the rich creamy clam chowder and freshly baked crusty bread as well as a well crafted Old Fashioned. However I was very disappointed in the paella that we shared. The flavor was good, but there was an abundance of dry diced chicken in it, as shown in the photo, after having already eaten a lot. If there was less of the chicken it might have not been so objectionable but it greatly outweighed seafood in it. I haven't had it here before so I don't know if this is to be expected. We will definitely return because it is a local business in our area, and we usually have a good experience. I recommend Bluewater Grill; just maybe not the paella. read more

Went here for an early dinner with my bestie in September. Got there in time for her to enjoy a drink on happy hour, plus i had a yelp checkin offer for her beverage, which was great! I had a few requests and let me tell you that the chef knocked it out of the park. More on that in a bit! I ordered a 1/2 doz oysters (east coast) and they were nice, fresh, and briny...simply delicious! Bread came to the table, which i didnt eat, but my girl said it had a crisp crust and soft inside. I did eat the butter that came with it though, which was delicious. lol Now my specialty request. I got the Spicy Tuna Tartare, but not on the crispy rice. The chef ended up putting it on cucumber for me and some crispy nori. CHEF'S KISS!!! We enjoyed our meal so much that my girl ended up going back the next day with some other people! read more

Had a lovely girlfriend dinner with some special girlies here, and I was excited to try it. The place's ambiance was welcoming and low key upon entering so it felt easygoing there, a chill vibe. There had been some bread delivered to the table when I arrived too (my friends arrived earlier than me). I ordered a wedge salad to start with and it was perfection in a wedge. I'm a big fan of blue cheese and so not only did it have the dressing drizzled atop but it also came with extra blue cheese crumbles to the side of the salad, and some purple onions and sliced grape tomatoes! I love all of these items but really nice if you aren't a fan of any one of those or prefer less of them. I gobbled mine entirely, it was superb with the bacon bits. Our server was patient and really lovely, I was so distracted I didn't catch her name but I wish I had because she allowed us to gab most of the afternoon but also knew when to ask us how we were doing and checking in. Our drinks stayed replenished without us having to even notice they weren't - but I absolutely noticed because I drink a ton of water with dinner! She also helped me decide on dinner and even went along with me when I asked her to please pick and surprise me. Some folks don't do well with this but she did and I was SO grateful! I ended up with the Halibut dish and IT WAS SPECTACULAR. I love me some fish first of all, but this came with a flavored crust on top that was crispy but the fish was cooked so perfectly well it was nice and moist... it was so delicious. It was on top of some scalloped potatoes and asparagus. My friends got the ahi tuna appetizer (was YUM), a seafood pasta with cremini mushrooms, and a lobster roll, and Everyone was delighted with their dishes... to top it off, with our service. The restaurant wasn't too busy for a Sunday afternoon (we arrived at 4) and less busy when we left (closer to 8) and thankfully our server seemed to have a big station to turnover others because we stayed so long. It's a really big restaurant though so plenty of space and seems it would accommodate big parties nicely too. read more
