Say hello to your new favorite downtown restaurant! Wow, where to begin?…read more Service was amazing - they even printed out a small card with our reservation name on it which was presented on our table. Such a cute touch and very thoughtful. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The spot is small and chic. It's very intimate dining so you'll be sitting close to the table next to you. Luckily, it's a quiet and calm space, so no need to worry about noise. The food was incredible. The salmon crudo was possibly the best crudo I have ever had in my entire life. So fresh and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The risotto changed my life... it was so delicious I couldn't even believe it. The only thing I would recommend skipping was the octopus tostada - not my favorite and a little fishy for my liking. Personal preference of course! The duck tasted great and was beautifully presented, but it wasn't my favorite. Again, I'm not a huge meat eater so take my advice on this one with a grain of salt. Overall an extremely romantic and special meal.

It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.

You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. I've been here twice and it was so…read moredelicious both times. I love how casual it is despite the delicious and fresh seafood, it's a great place for a casual lunch or dinner with your friends or family. We ordered the chef's hand roll, and fish taco from the Sunday all day happy hour menu, these items cannot be ordered to go so we ended up eating our entire meal at the restaurant which was fine. I think the hand roll was scallop, and this is the first thing we ate. You could immediately taste the freshness and the simplicity of the ingredients really elevated the dishes, our fish taco was also phenomenal. I also got the clam chowder which was good but not note worthy. The salmon poke bowl was incredibly fresh. They added a lot of unique ingredients like watermelon radish (not a fan btw). The main was definitely the fish which you could just taste the freshness, again it's very simple dish with not a ton of seasoning because the star of the show is the seafood. The rice tasted a little bit stale maybe, but not too bad. I really enjoyed how fresh the fish was.

One piece of fish was huge, and just a bit too greasy for me. Fries were delicious when dipping them into the dill tartar sauce! Coleslaw was great. Next time, I think I'll skip the heavily fried food and try to eat something a bit healthier. Although those fries with the dill tartar sauce were so tasty!

Friends!!! Great…read moreplace for a large party!!! We celebrated our friend's 40th Birthday and Rough Rider did NOT disappoint!!! The food was FANTASTIC, see my pictures!! The ambiance was hands down a special experience with the restaurant being underground!!! The atmosphere was sexy and upscale. The service team from entry to exit was amazing and so very attentive to our large group! If you're in the mood for something different, upscale, sexy, and just plain different....try Rough Rider. My grade, and this is hands down an honest review: A++++

We had a party of 10 and it was so fun. We all had drinks a some people ordered food. Due to party size there was auto gratuity and only 4 cards max. The bar is in the basement of the hotel. When we got there though it wasnt very clear that it was there. We got there a little early but the accommodated us nicely. Originally there was going to be 9 people but I asked day of event if I could bring another person and they said yes. The drinks were so good. Th divine feminine tasted like Jamaica drink with the hibiscus. Then I had the happy birthday Mr. President. Oh. My. God. It didn't even taste like alcohol it tasted like vanilla ice cream I'm so serious. It was delicious. Then I had the siren drink. That one wasn't bad at all. We all had a great time and shared laughs and everything. I love the setting of it though. It's a bit dark so we had to use phone lights to see the menu. But it feels like stepping into a whole new world once you enter. I think it's perfect for hanging out. Date night. Anniversary dinner. All of it. Our server was nice. Very friendly. I think he could use a little more on his hospitality just because sometimes I feel like he didn't know what to say exactly. A little disappointed that there wasn't really anything special for a birthday though. Not even a little card on the table that said happy birthday. Just a thought. Other fine dining establishments I've been in did.

UPDATE 2026…read more Bluewater is our new favorite seafood restaurant. We went last Wednesday for HH and the bartenders are a fantastic team. They run a very professional bar. The service we received from them was next level. The kitchen did a great job too. I got the fish and chips with walleye. It was flaky goodness paired with crisp and salty fries. I washed it down with a couple smoked old fashoineds. We left with a satisfied smile.

Came here for lunch recently with a family member when we were in the area…read more After looking over the menu, we decided to start off with the grilled Spanish octopus to share, and I had gotten a cup of the New England clam chowder. The Spanish octopus was alright. The clam chowder was flavorful and not too salty; definitely made it into the top three clam chowders I've had in the state so far. For our main entrees we ordered the New England lobster roll and the gemelli pasta with shrimp and scallops. The lobster roll was flavorful but felt like it was missing something. The gemelli pasta tasted a bit bland for my taste buds, but the family member I went with really enjoyed it. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered a crème brulee to share. The crème brulee was nice and not overly sweet. Overall, service was professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and the food arrived in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is quite spacious with nautical décor throughout which gives off a comfortable and relaxing vibe.

We ordered the yakisoba noodles along with the Family Combo F2, which came with crawfish, headless shrimp, and snow crab. It also included corn, potatoes, and sausage, making it the perfect meal to share. Everything came out hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The seafood was cooked just right, easy to peel, and packed with flavor. The crawfish, shrimp, and snow crab all tasted incredibly fresh, and the seasoning had just the right amount of spice without overpowering the seafood. The corn, potatoes, and sausage soaked up all of the delicious Cajun butter seasoning and were just as flavorful as the seafood itself. The yakisoba noodles were another standout. They were cooked perfectly with great flavor and paired really well with the seafood boil. The portions were generous, so you'll definitely leave full, and the quality of the food really impressed us. Everything we ordered was a 10/10, and we'll absolutely be back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

We complained about the shrimp and scallop quality and were only offered 20% off -- they didn't even offer to remake the dish. I did eat the side items -- the corn and potato -- because the waitress never came by to check on us or ask how our food was. I refused to pay for the seafood portion, and they actually called the police on me. I have never been treated so badly by a restaurant, especially when the food quality was that poor. So beware: if the food quality is bad and you feel it's unfair to pay for it, they will threaten you with the police -- who clearly have more important things to deal with than responding to a restaurant's food‑quality complaint.

The ambiance was incredibly inviting, featuring a large, open dining room and a beautiful full bar that immediately set the perfect tone for the evening. It is absolutely the kind of place I would love to revisit. ​The Service: Our server, Jackie, was phenomenal! Even though her section was packed and very busy, she was highly attentive to our needs and checked on us regularly. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond by suggesting interchangeable options to perfectly match our specific preferences. Outstanding service like hers really elevates the whole meal. ​The Food: Almost everything we ordered was excellent! With the minor exception of the gumbo, which just didn't quite hit the mark for our personal taste. Other than that, every single dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. ​We will definitely be back!
