The food here is amazing. I had the pan seared scallops and they definitely hit the spot, finished it off with the key lime pie which was equally as amazing, not too sweet and not too tarte. However, I will say what was better than the incredible food were the lovely people who run the show. The manager, Bríana is extremely kind, caring, hard-working, attentive and personable. My server Scot was a total delight to interact with. These two plus the energetic smiles of the other employees bustling around, along with the warm ambiance of the restaurant just make my solo night out--blissful. read more

Omg. This place... we are coming back for sure. The service was amazing. Our waitress, Justina, was on it. Our table did not lack at all during our visit. The place was was nicely decorated. The bathrooms were nice and clean (not funny smells). The dinning area was spotless with updated sort of nautical beach hints. They got me with the fish fridge/market at the entrance. Everything in the fridge looked so yummy. The food was delish from the symphony of the warm bread crust all the way to tartness of the key lime pie. Come here... you will not regret it. read more

Every time my husband and I go to Bluewater, the food and service never disappoints. We know what to expect there every time and it's not something that is easy to find anywhere else. For my daughter's 6th birthday, we asked her where she wanted to go for dinner. Her response... "the fish place with the bread"! Haha read more

We went to the Winemakers Tasting Event paired with an excellent menu. The wines were provided by Marshall Stuart Winery in Temecula. We started with a Drunken Shrimp Scampi paired with a Blanc de Blanc. Next, we were served a Lemon Cesar Salad paired with a Chardonnay and the main course was a Cedar Plank Salmon topped with a maple Dijon glaze with scalloped potatoes and sautéed green beans paired with a Cabernet Franc. Wow, what an excellent meal! Our servers were great and provided perfect service. A live sax player gave the restaurant a cool vibe and the lighting was just right. Marshall Stuart made sure he stopped at every table to discuss his winery and answered all questions about his wines. Extremely enjoyable time! read more

Bluewater Grill - Temecula - New York steak with scalloped potatoes and asparagus - Seafood Near Me - Temecula, California

Came here for my husband bday weekend. Service was good. We were seated quickly and our waiter was very kind and attentive. The exterior was a typical seafood chain restaurant and the food was good. Our favorite was the clam chowder and salmon. The oysters Rockefeller was on the salty side but was overall tasty. You really need the lemon with it to balance the saltiness. My husband got the pasta which he also enjoyed. They served sourdough bread at the table and which was also good. If I am ever in the area, I would come back to this place. read more

Me and my wife been coming here since it was Fish House Vera Cruz and I must say today we received some of the best service from our waiter Jodie. His mannerisms and professionalism while taking care of Me and my wife were amazing. His recommendations were also delicious I'm typically more of the blackened sword fish type of guy but he recommended the halibut blackened with scallop potatoes and asparagus he also added some of that bronze sauce on the side my wife got his recommendation of the Trout Amandine with extra lemon butter on the side. Both dishes were amazing and served to perfection. If your looking for the best seafood in town I recommend this place hands down been a favorite for me and the wife. I also suggest asking for Jodie he's gone take care of you folks! read more

037/2026/FEB I made reservations online just to ensure we have a table! When we got there it wasn't busy so got seated in a booth for 5! Our server was attentive in the beginning but had to flag him down for water refill and bread! Our server was not aware that they ran out of green beans which was written out on the menus . Our meal came with asparagus as substitute but daughter was allergic to it!!!! Server apologized and suggested the sauteed spinach instead! I ordered the Misoyaki Butterfish-Black Cod-Pacific seeved in Miso glazed and with side of green beans, white rice and eel sauce with green onion, topped with cilantro and daikon sprouts!!! ASPARAGUS came with my meal INSTEAD OF GREEN BEANS !!! Of course our server wasn't aware of the change of the menu ingredients!!! KITCHEN SHOULD HAVE HAD INFORMED THE SERVER AND CONVEYED TO US OF THE CHANGE !!! WHAT IF CUSTOMER HAVE SEVERE ALLERGEN FROM THE SUBSTITUTE????? IT's a BLESSING MY DAUGHTER DIDN't have severe reaction to the food contamination!!! Then my granddaughter's meal too had a substitution!!! They ran out of oranges so they gave her strawberries instead without even warning us about the substitution!!! How about if a child is allergic to strawberries that's why she chose oranges ??? Really??? So warning to all diners about making sure server knows any menu change !!! The 3 star is for my food which I enjoyed even with asparagus substitution ... just wished we were informed of the change!! read more

We grabbed a reservation for early dinner on Sunday. We've seen good reviews on this place and it comes up consistently when searching for a restaurant in Temecula. The atmosphere is nice; it feels warm and cozy, inviting. They've got a fresh fish case in the entrance and there are some amazing filets, etc. They also have a patio with heat lamps. The menu is laid out very nicely and it's got cute little names and sections. I was very excited because everything looked good. Our server came by and took our drink order. My husband chose the Rum Punch and I tried a glass of the Sauv Blanc from France. We wouldn't recommend either. The punch was "boozy", not sweet enough and not what you'd imagine "punch" to be. It wasn't good. The wine was fine but if you're a fan of Sauv Blanc, particularly from NZ then you won't like this. It tastes like a mix of Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. My pour was flat, like it came out of an old bottle. The drinks also took over 20 mins to arrive. I finally had to flag down the server and let him know that our drinks had never arrived. He looked like he'd forgotten something and ran back to collect them. We ordered a cup of Chowder which was really good. It was grainy though so not sure if the clams weren't cleaned properly or if it had shells in it. The Caesar salad came out with brown lettuce and we had to send it back which our server did with no issues. I will say that the dressing was delicious. We ordered our entrees and then waited and waited and waited. We'd been there 1 1/2 hours and still had no dinner! It was very strange. The table seated next to us came in after us and had been served, other tables around us also had service and came and went. They had different servers so maybe that was the issue, not sure. Our entrees finally came out and they were fine. Hubby ordered the trout and I went with the scallops. The spinach and mushroom side on my dish had crispy onions on it like the kind you put on Green Bean casserole at Thanksgiving. They were soggy, not crispy and the whole dish just didn't taste right. It wasn't good. The sea scallops were sweet and not my favorite but they were fine. The crust on the Trout was delicious. We traded entrees and my hubby ate the spinach and a few of the scallops. We then sat and sat and sat waiting for our check which the server forgot he hadn't brought out. He finally asked us if we could pay and we pointed out he'd never brought the check out. Again, he looked surprised and went back inside to retrieve it. My husband handed him his CC so he wouldn't have to walk back and forth. It was very strange. The whole night it was like the server was confused or just off his game. We opted for no dessert because we just wanted to get out of there. I'm bummed because I was hoping we'd discovered a new favorite restaurant but based on this visit, we won't be 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.

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

Tonight was not their night. At least for us. Started out great. Made a reservation and was sat right away. Greeted, drinks ordered, and bread was brought out hot and fresh. I waited about 12 minutes for my first Diet Coke. Had to ask about it, even though the tables around me who were sat after us were already sipping. Strike one. Strike two, the steamed clams and mussels were a bit grainy. I get that happens but it was more than just one it was like they weren't scrubbed hard enough and soaked to filter out the grit. The broth was very flavorless. Even with the lemon added, it was like water. No garlic taste and lacking salt. The parsley had a of graininess to it as well. The crab dip was also probably one of the driest dips, I've had. I don't know how else to describe it and didn't know dip could be described as dry...who knew Strike three, the wife got the paella "taste of Spain" I believe. Now, in my experience paella is supposed to have a caramelized bottom. This did not, and again lacking salt. Tasted water downed, and not in a fresh from the sea kind of way, more of a flavorless kind of way. But this was probably the most flavorful. Strike four, I ordered the golden cod, it was ok. It's pictured. But again where's the salt!?!? I couldn't taste the corn puree. The skin was not crispy and was more leathery. It was served skin side up, so I figured it would have been crispy since it was served skin on and presented that way, Why leave the skin, if not seared? Strike 5, we saw numerous tables around us get asked if they wanted more bread. We did not. Strike 6, had to ask for our water to be refilled and my Diet Coke. Waited about 10 minutes to even find our server to ask. Strike 7, maybe it's because we had a baby with us. I know everyone says their baby behaves, and ours did. He ate his crackers while we ate our bread and had some bison puree while we ate. He drank his water, did not cry once. A little talkative but the restaurant is loud. I counted the tables next to us, behind us and in front of us had a total of 4 tables touches to our 1. I could write it off but we were also nearest to the server station. I get being busy, it wasn't that busy. It's Friday night but plenty of open tables. My wife and I go out every Friday night and didn't want to stop even though we have a baby. We love eating out and introducing him to new places. I'd probably forgive the tasteless food if the service was top notch. It wasn't the worst but in comparison to others around us....it was somewhat insulting and hard not to take it personal. Strike 8, if you're familiar with restaurant wars and top chef. There's this one season when Padma is leaving; and there is no one at the host stand to say goodbye. It's something I know look for anytime we go out. Now there was somewhere there; actually two! As I walked out, holding my baby and the door for my wife. Not one said thanks for coming or have good night. I initiated it after waiting to see if they would say anything, and again....minor but with everything else it was the icing on the cake. Maybe it was because we had a baby, perhaps we're weren't old enough ( older crown around us) Maybe because we didn't order booze, maybe it was because I was wearing flip flops, Maybe it's my tattoos, not sure, but I do know we were not made to feel like a priority like everyone else around us. Positives: bread was great, hot n fresh. Diet Coke was good too. IYKYK about a good Diet Coke. Food did come out quick read more

Great food and good service in the neighborhood in Temecula. We ordered fish and chips, half dozen oysters, miso fish and clam chowder. Everything was great from the fresh sour dough to the last bite of fries and coleslaw. just be a bit careful as they serve the food right out of the frier and can be scorching hot. I took a bite into my fish and chips holding the fish with my hand and the piping hot juice in the fish got all over my hand burning it a little. i quickly called over the server to ask for a bag of ice as it was a bit painful and she acted very fast for this request. I was in pain but l love the fact that the food came fresh off the frier as thats how i like my food. lol. manager came by to make sure i was okay and wanted to see if i wanted to submit a report where i kindly declined. food is good, price is good and the ambient is nice., family friendly and good for all kinds of group with different variety of food. if i'm in the area, i would definitely comeback and recommend it to anyone. read more

Big capacity restaurant. Good wine selection. Casual relaxing ambiance. A little late for dinner. Got our seats right away. Ordered our food. Fast service. New England clam chowder was flavorful but a little too thick for me. I prefer more on the creamy side and less thicker. Enjoyed the starter bread. Perfectly toasted. Oysters so fresh and clean. Butter fish moist, soft and not fishy at all (my favorite) . Simple but elegant presentation. Salmon was a little fishy but grilled well. Had some sautéed spinach substituted for asparagus. Too salty and didn't like it at all. Calamari fried just right. Oily but not rubbery. Crème brûlée was a good finisher. Nicely bruleed. Nice balance of bitter sweet combo. Good service and will come back most likely. read more

Bluewater Grill, located in Temecula Town Center, is the perfect location for a date night, celebration or just a good seafood dinner. Immediately walking in, you're met with a wide variety of seafood options on full display. We ordered the roasted striped bass (unfortunately they were out of the sea bass for the night) and San Francisco Cioppino. Fresh bread with butter was included as you sat down. Service was attentive and quick. The cioppino had the option to come as soup or salad. It had a nicely balanced spice with a seafood base. The bass was light and paired well with the green sauce and a medley of corn, tomato, asparagus and potato. read more

One of the local SoCal seafood chains that serves a good variety and great for groups if you're looking to host something. Service is pretty standard and expected for a chain like this. I really enjoy their Seafood Louie Salad that is light and refreshing. They had a limited special for a Spanish Paella that was good to share but wish it had that crispy rice on the bottom! Large parking lot and safe pick if looking for some seafood in this area! read more

Great experience overall. The menu is short and sweet with all classics. We all enjoyed the steam mussels/clams and calamari starters. They have fresh seafood and market price items like king crab and lobster, but was very expensive to test or try. Maybe next time for an upcoming birthday or anniversary. The service is great and our server paid extra attention and was attentive. We didn't have reservation but was able to get in. Also, they were able to move us from the back of the restaurant near the restrooms to a central location instead. We appreciated this greatly. The locals eat here regularly I can imagine. You must try the cioppino and fresh fish *seabass. Everything was delicious. Enjoy! read more

Had a nice lunch at Bluewater grill in Temecula on Saturday. Tammy and Janice were simply fantastic in their customer service with a smile.

Nice spot and recommended. read more

Almandine trout .. A MUST try when you come here. So good. Great service, great food. Definitely one of our favorite places to go.

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

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

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'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

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

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.

Visiting Temecula for my anniversary with my husband, and newborn, and we were recommended this restaurant. We got there and entrance looked beautiful at night, even thought wait for our table was 45min long we decided to wait and the manager (Bri) actually did her best to make sure we were sat faster than that. We loved our servers service (Scottie) who made sure we knew everything on the menu and gave us recommendations. Bri had already said to try the Swordfish WE DID AND LOVED IT! Hubby got the Lobster LOVED IT! And the sourdough bread they give as a started LOVED IT! Overall great experience we appreciated the accommodations since I had a stroller had to breastfeed omg first time mommy, going out for dinner has been a bit difficult but I felt very comfortable here. Thank you totally returning to this restaurant if I'm in the area, we were visiting from LA. read more
