Food was delicious and fresh sour dough bread! Waitress and all servers were accommodating ! First time at this one last year in the one is Carlsbad read more

Stopped here for lunch earlier today. Did not have reservations, and were immediately seated. Employees are friendly, attentive and provided exceptional service. Ambiance was casual, with dining areas both indoors and outside. Food was terrific as well. My husband and I shared a couple appetizers (seared scallops and the octopus) and both were spectacular! He had the miso black cod, which was cooked to perfection (and I wished I had chosen that as my meal); and I opted for a fish taco and clam chowder (a combo in which you can choose 2 items between chowder, salad, and shrimp or fish taco). Will definitely be back when we're in the area! read more

The service was amazing, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The came in good portion size and great taste and the place was clean and cozy! We loved and will come back soon! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable service, clean restaurant with clean restrooms. Which means the kitchen is also very likely to be clean. Nothing overpowering or obnoxious like music or room temperature. All is very comfortable and inviting with a great view of the river. read more

As locals this is our favorite spot in town for seafood. It's always fresh caught from the owner's boat. The service is top tier and we love the cozy atmosphere of the patio seating. They also have a great selection of wines from the local wineries, try a taste of the valley flight, way cheaper than doing a tasting tour. Highly recommend! read more

We finally got around to trying out Bluewater Grill and are glad we did! We stopped in on a busy Saturday night without a reservation, but ended up waiting less than 20 minutes. We made good use of the time by grabbing seats in the bar area where we ordered an espresso martini and an old-fashioned, both of which were perfectly prepared by Kate! We were seated outside and were totally comfortable thanks to lots of heaters. We started with the calamari appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for four people to share - note for next time! Cain brought us a little bit of their New England clam chowder to sample which was excellent! I had grilled salmon and so appreciate that it was prepared to the perfect medium rare doneness, and delicious served with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Hubby enjoyed the roasted stripe bass and finished every last bite! No room for dessert, although it was tempting as Cain explained that all are prepared in-house. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, from the hostess, to Kate and Matt at the bar, to our awesome server, Cain. We'll be back...and look forward to trying out their happy hour as well! read more

I have been here once recently and will be returning! The clam chowder and bread here is amazing!!!! So good. I didn't try anything else but these two items will bring me back. 4/5 It's quiet inside and the staff was friendly. Maybe it's louder on weekends but we stopped by on a weeknight. I will be back soon for some fresh baked bread and clam chowder read more

Cute little fish spot! Calamari as an appetizer was great. Tried their salmon plate and it was delicious! About $34. Also tried the prawn linguine and it was good, but would recommend a fish entree instead. Had the clam chowder as well (not pictured) and that was probably my favorite! So creamy. Pro-tip towards the end of the week they run out of fish as they get their fish delivered weekly. Went on a Sunday and they were out of tuna and a few other things. Will comeback when they have more fish in stock! read more

First time at this restaurant on a Friday night with a reservation and had a great experience. Food was amazing and interior was nice. Best part was our server Scott and his friendliness and service. 10/10 for him and our food, one of the nicest servers we've had at any restaurant. Good portions and beautiful plating. read more

Scott was one of the best servers I have ever had! He gave very good recommendations and let me sample a brown sauce that was SO good. I had the rainbow trout and it was truly the best meal I have ever had. I will only ask for Scott as my server when I go back. read more

Food was excellent! Very savory and portioned was perfect. My husband and I found this place while staying at the Murrieta springs. The sourdough bread is amazing! Very soft and warm. You can tell it's is fresh bread. We had the scallop and oyster for appetizers. They were fresh and tasty. I had the blackened cod, which was buttery and melts in your mouth. My husband had the ribs... which was very savory with meat falling off the bone. We paired it with spinach and beans. Very healthy. I am so happy to find this place! Definitely worth it. See photos. read more

First time here and will definitely return. We ordered a few appetizers and lunch. The serving sizes we pretty large. The food had great flavor and the food was cooked to perfection. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The prices were average for a sea food restaurant. Over all it was well worth the price. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

Those hairs tho! Went for a bday, found hair in the butter, hair in the salad, everything we ordered was taste less, brick chicken was taste less and chewy, sword fish was terrible no flavor, lobster roll and Cole slaw was horrible no flavor at all. The manger was very nice and took care of the bill. Ambiance was like Cocos or Marie Calendar it was a retirement home full of old people. Party of 5 we hope to be accommodating next time. And the beer I got was also not as good for a Wisen it was more like a cider. read more

We enjoy coming here for our celebration dinners. We came to celebrate our 28th year Anniversary and once again the food and service did not disappoint Kristina was very helpful in our selections with recommendations per our taste buds for the day. We were checked on by the staff and plates cleared when emptied. Thank you again for making it a memorable anniversary dinner, we really appreciate it. read more

Yes, we were completely focused on celebrating a monumental birthday and another day in wine country opulence, yet it got better. Given. We know the Chef and his proclivities, and embrace them. Simple formula: WOW the customer base with elegant and addictive sauces, and then merely walk away? Wouldn't matter. The staff are all hotties. At the level that you'll be distracted mid-canasta. read more

Had a wonderful experience on Father's Day for dinner. They accommodated us as a walk-in on a very busy day. Our waitress was sweet and prompt, gave her 20% tip for great service. We ordered the plank salmon, rainbow trout and the chicken entree- all were delicious. You could tell the food is high quality and fresh. We will definitely be back! read more

Love coming here for great seafood and service. My dish was so delicious. This was a seasonal dish and it was on point. I also recommend the grilled octopus (not pictured) as an appetizer. Tammy our server was very helpful. Great seafood restaurant if you are in Temecula. read more

Bluewater Grill - Golden Spotted Sea Bass - Seafood Near Me - Temecula, California

Our server Scott was fantastic! He gave us the best recommendations on food (which was delicious, I got the misoyaki butterfish and my friend got the trout), talked through the menu with us since we had a lot of questions, and even showed us the best sauces to order on the side to eat their bread. I am disabled and have a service dog and sometimes restaurant staff can be inconsiderate because it isn't often that people see service animals in real life, but Scott was very accommodating and respectful. Very attentive staff and great food! read more

Bluewater Grill - Seafood Near Me - Temecula, California

I've been coming here for about 5 or 6 years now as it's in the Temecula Auto Park near my work. It's amazing no matter how full or empty the restaurant is, the service is so great and the servers are very attentive to all of your requests and needs. I really wanted to make a point to mention that because that's not always the case in restaurants these days. Sometimes it feels like we're still in covid as a result of being understaffed. The food here is so delicious. My favorites are the Clam Chowder, Shrimp Tacos and FIsh n Chips. My work colleague loves the lobster rolls and even though she's about 5' 5" and just over 120 lbs., she could probably put 6 of these away. LoL. Even if you don't like Manhattan Clam chowder, give the 1/2 and 1/2 bowl a try because it's pretty amazing. I was forced to order it by one of my co-workers and now I order it about every other time. Keep up the great work and thank you for the amazing service and delicious delights. read more

A very nice seafood restaurant in Temecula. We ordered the walnut crusted halibut, our favorite fish, and it was out of this world, just excellent! We also had the New England clam chowder, also very good, and the shrimp cocktail, a generous serving of large shrimp with a nice, mild cocktail sauce. Some places love to overdo the horseradish in their sauce, but not here, it was a perfect blend. Finished it off with a slice of key lime pie and we were stuffed. Why only one entree, you ask? Because we split it, along with everything else and it was plenty for us. The service was great, a truly enjoyable experience. We highly recommend! read more

1st only a few tables were taken and only one reservation on the books. Requested to sit at window table overlooking patio and was told no, window table by bathroom or booth by kitchen. Choose window by bathroom, big mistake, every time someone went in or out of bathroom it stank so bad like sewer mixed with Disinfectant! Very hard to enjoy my glass of Pinot. Ordered red clam chowder, it was good but not spicy as described. We were happy they serve the red, it is healthy. I order crab cakes for lunch, they were tasty but lacked crab, mostly all breading. Husband had Ahi pokey, he said it was good. Talked to manager before we left and he said next time ask for him and he will let me sit where I want. I do not understand why customers get stuck at the worst table when the place is almost empty. I really think the tables by bathroom should not even be there. Service was good once she finally came over and took drink order, we did get soup before drinks, we prefer to receive drinks first but drinks came shortly after. read more

Great birthday dinner at Blue Water Grill. Celebrated my husband's birthday here and had a wonderful time. The fresh bread and clam chowder are delicious -- so fresh and flavorful. Friendly service and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

I had a great time here with my friends! We came with a pretty big group, and the space was beautiful, spacious, and very clean. I also loved that they have a play area for kids, which makes this place great for families as well. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back! read more

dropped in for lunch at the bar because my car service was taking way too long and who doesn't love lunch at the bar. while the brick chicken was cooked to perfection, it didn't have a ton of flavor. the scalloped potatoes though - "oh i'll just have a bite" and bam they were gone. so good. some asparagus to check the greens box and chased it down with a delightful Lalo tequila. Coming back for dinner. read more

Always had a great meal and time. The wait staff are always pleasant. Oysters are fantastic!

This is in response to the Manager's message to us. We will not return to Blue Water until the younger female manager has moved on. She went from mellow to full on rage in 10 seconds, over what I would feel is a minor issue, and wonder how she would react to a real issue, if she got so enraged at this relatively minor one. And when I say enraged, I am not exaggerating, she got all crazy eyed for me not wanting to pay for part of the meal I did not eat, due to bones....... read more

I came here in a party of 2 without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait for only 15 minutes. The restaurant is very spacious and has cool decor. The staff were very friendly. They immediately gave us bread and menus. We ordered crab and artichoke dip and calamari for our appetizers. I had a blackened swordfish for my entree and key lime pie for dessert. The portions for the calamari and crab dip were very big. The calamari has both rings and tentacles. It came with a sweet chili sauce and a remoulade (tastes like cocktail sauce with aioli). The calamari was very tender. The crab dip came with chips. The dip was warm, creamy, and cheesy. Both of these appetizers were delicious and could've honestly been entrees based on their size. The swordfish came in a massive portion on a huge plate. The rice has some heat and is pretty soft, almost like a risotto. This was the perfect fish dish. The fish was cooked perfectly and the spice was comforting. The key lime pie was good too. The whipped cream was not overly sweet and tasted like actual cream. Overall this is a great seafood restaurant with excellent service and huge portion sizes. I am so glad that they have multiple locations. read more

Disappointed on what was on the menu. I ordered the Prawns and Linguini and was excited to see this on the menu. They brought my dish to the table and it was "Shrimp" with my Pasta. And to add to it the shrimp was over cooked. I asked the waiter and manager why they advertised the prawns knowingly it was shrimp. They didn't have a response nor did they even acknowledge this. I don't think I'll be back and will have to address this with the BBB. read more

Late Post - 11/16/24 Friends and I came here and it was my first time. Parking lot has a lot of spaces and it is easy to find off the main road. We came here at around 3pm, so it wasn't busy but it started getting busy around 5pm. When we left, the place was packed. We ordered the following: Baked Crab and Artichoke Dip - was yummy, cheesy and very flavorful and came with tortilla chips. Clam Chowder - Was perfectly cooked and had a good amount of clams in it. I could've had three bowls of this. San Francisco Cioppino - Very savory soup and the seafood that came with was perfectly cooked, I liked that the shrimps and mussels that came with it were bigger in size than other places I've tried. This came with grilled bread. Prawn Linguini - My friend ordered this but I tried some of it and it was yummy. The sauce was so good but also had a tiny kick to it. The prawns were also pretty good size. Panko Fried Jumbo Prawns - I didn't get to try this but my friend liked it. This dish came with fries. Service was pretty good. Our server checked on us often and even when we asked someone else for assistance, they helped us. I highly recommend this restaurant. I enjoyed everything I had and would come back in a heartbeat. read more

We're regulars at Blue Water Grill, and Mark and Meilana are the reason we keep coming back! Excellent service every single time, and their drinks never disappoint. Over our visits we've worked our way through the Smokey Old Fashioned, Aperolo Spritz, and Cucumber Mojito -- all fantastic. Ask for Mark or Meilana next time you're in, you won't be disappointed! read more

Delicious food and great service every visit. I especially like the swordfish and our dog likes the meatroaf.

The food is delicious, the service is very warm and courteous and, most important, they love our dogs!!

What a wonderful experience! First time here, Melody highly recommended the "Life changing" swordfish. Can I say that was truly LIFE CHANGING! I was #511 and my husband 512. We both got the same and absolutely LOVED it! Can't wait to come back and have it again and again and again!!! read more

I can remember when this was the old Fish House Vera Cruz back in the good old days. When you walk in you can see the seafood in the display case and are able to get a sense of what looks good. The service is always good since there's always plenty of staff. The food an be good or average but that's typical for the corporate chains. read more

The staff is very friendly. The restaurant is clean. The service was great. But, the prices are a bit much. You can find more affordable menu items, in other restaurants with the same quality. For example, $25 for fish and chips? We had just had fish and chips (same portion) in San Diego at Seaport Village for $15.95 the day prior. They also offer (which we didn't get) surf and turf for $95. Way overpriced. The food was good, but not necessarily worth the price. Not pictured but we also got the crab and artichoke dip, which was good. As well as the calamari appetizer, which was just okay. The red sweet sauce (like a sweet and sour) they serve with the calamari is a weird choice. My mom had the NY strip which she enjoyed. We did have to ask for more bread, they initially gave us 3 slices of bread for a table of 6. Overall a good experience, but for me not worth the price. I may have to check out their lunch menu next time and see if prices are better. read more
