    Quesadilla
    Sindy E.

    This place is nice because it not super crowded and loud like most of its kind. The waitress are quiet but nice. Service is good. Big menu I had the shrimp wrap in bacon and it's was very good the bacon was a little dry though, like they cooked it a couple of minutes extra. The carne asada quesadilla was huge. Prices are average for a sitting restaurant.

    We had a party of 7. Came down to Arizona from California and some of us from Texas. Place was 2 min away from our Airbnb. It's welcoming place we were greeted by waitress and it's a self seated place. While we look at menu to order we were provided with chips and salsa and waitress took our drink orders. The food was delicious and good portions. I recommend this place if your looking for good authentic Mexican food.

    Sashimi especially for us

    My parents come here very often and I finally made it! It was honestly soooo good!!! I loved the apps we got and the main course which was the Al mojo de ajo was devoured. Excited to have such a bomb mariscos place next to my parents.

    Great experience! Have been here multiple times now & it gets better and better. And you get to support a small business, would definitely recommend!

    Three tacos overflowing with meat. The birria is AMAZING.

    Great food. Large portions. We had chicken, carnitas and birria tacos. Ok beer selection and could use more margarita options

    Pescado frito, beans and rice

    My husband wanted a great bowl of siete mares like we could get in California and he is glad to say he found it. Delicious so was my mojara (fried fish).

    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.

Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

The waitress was attentive the whole time, bathrooms were clean, and I really appreciated how mindful the staff was with my deaf friend. That always stands out to me. The calamari was okay. I liked it, but my friend said she's definitely had better. I also had to ask for lemon with the calamari. Last time I came with a friend they were completely out of lemons, so I was glad that wasn't an issue this time. I'd probably try something different instead of the calamari next visit though. We got the Pier 88 combo crab boil with the "All of the Above" seasoning in mild. It came out super quick and was very well seasoned. I personally thought it leaned a little salty, but I also saw other tables adding extra salt to their food, so I guess it just depends on your taste. Portions were good and everything tasted delicious. Very kid-friendly spot, pretty loud and lively inside, and honestly a great place for hosting bigger groups, family get-togethers, or even just catching up with a friend over drinks and seafood. I've been here before and would definitely come back again.

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!

It's huge inside, but definitely make a reservation if you're coming on the weekend because it gets pretty busy. The atmosphere is really cool with a nice, well-executed nautical theme. The service can be a bit hit-or-miss, which is typical for a chain restaurant. During one visit, they were out of Tito's vodka and didn't have anyone available to shuck oysters--a bit peculiar for a seafood joint, but likely just a sign of the times. Overall, the food is consistently good, even if it feels a little pricey for what you get. I'll most likely be back!

If that is what you're looking for you might find yourself to be a little disappointed. This is not that kind of a joint. (no waiters, no waitresses, no tableside service, but no high prices and ridiculous exorbitant tipping expectations either). At first using the GPS, this place was hard to find until I realize we are not looking for a sit down restaurant...it's a drive up and drive-through restaurant, it's basically made for takeout dining exclusively! Don't let that fool you though because the food at this place slaps! Lol! We had a lobster roll, a Mexican salad (served on a large flour tortilla, as a burrito!) as well as the flatbread and chicken quesadillas. They were all excellent (if you're from the East Coast, you might be disappointed by the lobster roll because it's a local interpretation of what a lobster roll would be like ) and they are among our favorite things to pick up when we want to grab food and take it back home.. The prices are very affordable! In a time when you can't touch a meal for less than somewhere between 15 and $20 this place you can feed your whole family for that even their drinks are inexpensive. They actually have a lot of locations sprinkled throughout the greater phoenix area. my experience is that some locations are a little better than others in terms of customer service and efficiency but generally speaking I like the price and I like the food no matter which location I go to but invariably some are better than others.
