WOW! This was my first time at the Bluewater Grill, and it was superb!…read more 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!

As always amazing! We found this place on opening week just by a chance. Dad and I decided to go in…read moreand enjoyed it so much it is one of our regulars as most people know we still recommend them to this day. Their clam chowder is the absolute best in the state and since we went to Seattle, acriss state lines too in our opinion. Mom's too. When she was in the hospital after a stroke and refused to eat anything they helped us out with thinning the chowder down a little for her because we were worried it would be too thick. And this was the only thing she regularly ate besides frostys so we were so appreciative of the staff for helping us with that. It's a great memory we reminisce on, now that she has past. But as always love the food and recommend the fish and chips, get your cod grilled or fried both are amazing. Their calamari is amazing too!

I'm not out this way often but did give this place a try…read more Staff were friendly and helpful here. This is a seafood place and they have lots on offer, if you like fried foods. I tried to avoid an all fried meal, so had their broiled cod, steamed veggies plate. I didn't want the seafood pasta salad and substituted with hush puppies (oh well so much for not wanting anything fried). The broiled cod was pretty terrible, rubbery and overcooked and tasteless. I really had to try and finish all of my meal. The steamed veggies felt like they were frozen and just steamed up. Hush puppies were solid but then again you can't go wrong with the taste of fried, right? They have a soda fountain here and seltzer water and lemons available. Place was clean and bathrooms were fine. Also, had an outside patio space too. Sadly, I really wanted to like this place, but everything was pretty lackluster here minus the excellent service. I doubt I'll be coming back here, unless I may want some hush puppies...

We never ran out of water and they let us stay for a while after we finished our meal while we talked which was so kind. We sat inside which was nice. I'd never been before so I was surprised how spacious and how much seating this restaurant had. The only parking option outside is valet which made the experience feel even more luxe.

This was my second time here, and it absolutely lived up to my first experience. My mom has been here several times and already loved it, so we were happy to get so lucky. Everything we ordered was delicious. We had the mussels, oysters, and crab cakes as appetizers and they were delicious. For our entrees we had the halibut and lobster ravioli. Honestly, not a single miss. The seafood tasted fresh, the portions were great, and every dish came out beautifully prepared. The lobster ravioli tasted especially fresh and comforting without feeling too heavy. Our server Joel made the experience even better! He gave thoughtful recommendations, was attentive without hovering, and genuinely helped make our dinner feel relaxed and memorable. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a family dinner. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to whenever we're in Scottsdale.

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.

We started with the clam chowder, which was extremely watered down and completely lacking in flavor. It tasted more like soup that had been diluted than a proper chowder. We also ordered shrimp with the Pier 88 seasoning, but the spices were barely noticeable--there was almost no seasoning at all, which is pretty disappointing for a place that markets itself around bold flavors. The service was just okay--nothing terrible, but nothing that made up for the food. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype, and we won't be returning.

This place has character. It's the kind of spot where the décor might be a little off with tagging every where, and somehow it all just works. Heck even the pirate statue has been tagged Now let's talk about the important part: the food. The flavors? Perfectly seasoned, saucy in the best way, and messy enough to make you question your life choices but in a good way. The kind of meal where you leave with buttery and seasoned fingers and zero regrets. The server was nice but a little slow even when it wasn't truly busy. The pricing is actually pretty solid too. You're not walking out feeling like you just financed a shrimp's college education. Final verdict: Come for the crab, stay for the vibe, and don't wear white unless you're feeling brave.
