Bluewater Grill Seafood Restaurant & Market Carlsbad

The Manhattan clam chowder was very good. The steamed clams and mussel broth lacked flavor. Crab and Crab salad was tasty too.

Very disappointed in the service. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks and then over an hour for food. They didn't refill our water. Could be a great spot if there was better service.

Kristin was our server. She was attentive and did a great job. Food was excellent. Between the 4 of us we had Sashimi, Paella, Louie Salad, and Bass. Our first time there but we will be back

My stunning girlfriend and I came in later on a Sunday night and were really impressed. We started with the calamari, which was a huge portion and absolutely delicious. We also shared the halibut and the lobster roll—both were excellent, especially the halibut. Everything was fairly priced, and they even brought out bread. The drinks were average, but overall it was a great experience.

Great seafood, caring service, and a pleasant dining atmosphere. We dine at Bluewater Grill religiously every other week.

Can't go wrong out of Blue Water Grill over the years we've had most everything on the menu

Drinks at the busy bar were good. Dinner was not gourmet though the prices suggest that. The fish in the cioppino was chewy and overcooked, a clam did not open, and I ended the night with a mild stomachache. The warm bread was good.

We started with a crab dip that was amazing. We both had a fresh fish dish which was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant for fresh seafood!

Great drinks And seafood. Bloody Mary was wonderfully, salt on the rum and large shrimp on rim.

The food was okay BUT it took TWO hours! one hour to get seated and another hour to be served! We literally waited for 2 hours to eat! while there were several empty tables!! What a waste of time!

We sat at the Bar at Bluewater Grill and Dakota was the Bartender. The service was awesome, as were the cocktails. We enjoyed chatting with Dakota as much as the clam chowder which was excellent (5 stars). We also had the fisherman’s platter (fried selection of seafood) and the lobster roll. The fisherman’s platter was ok and gets 3 stars. The lobster roll was rock lobster vs Maine lobster and was “fishy” tasting and gets 2 stars. We went a second time for a drink and an appetizer and had the surf rider roll which was excellent and spicy!
Will definitely be back next time in town.
