Disappointed. The chowder was good. The crab cake was a lot of filler and the sauces were nice. We ordered halibut & black cod. They were both over cooked with raw green beans. I sent the cod back for the halibut and asked it not to be over cooked. It was good. Service was marginal at best especially as we were his only table. It was like nobody cared to serve good food or give decent service… weird.The Newport Beach location is great this location sucks!!!

Paul was an excellent server attentive and friendly made sure I was never thirsty. Food was good, clam chowder was excellent reminded me of my adventures in Boston and the Mahi Sandwich was great in size and taste.Restaurant is well appointed on the marina and felt warm on the terrace in the spring sun
Some of the best fish dishes we’ve ever been served!!

Fabulous seafood in a cozy restaurant (with amazing views). My cousin and I split the scallops and the mahi mahi, both were delicious. Service was fantastic, although our server could have been more knowledgeable about the wine list (restaurant should do training). Overall a really wonderful experience!

We came from out of state and are residing across the way. The food was exquisite! I thoroughly enjoyed the oysters, and snapper for entrees! A the drinks were made to perfection! This restaurant feels like a place for any occasion, celebratory or just wanting to enjoy great quality seafood. Thank you to our waitress she was so thoughtful and kind. I normally never leave reviews, this felt really enjoyable. I just had to!

First time here, met a couple of colleagues for dinner. Beautiful view, good food, yummy cocktails and excellent service.We shared some appetizers, the prawn cocktail, grilled octopus and poke. I added a Wedge Salad and we all had dessert. I had the key lime pie and my colleagues had creme brulees.If you like spicy, try the Pilikia Margarita and choose the spicy option.The only con is the noise level. It did make it a little difficult to talk, but we managed.Paul and team provided amazing service.

It was our first time at Bluewater and it was great. Everything from the oyster appetizer to the main course was delicious and the service was excellent. Even the sourdough bread was perfectly warm. The next time we visit Coronado, we will be repeat customers.

The setting is remarkable and evocative. The food is phenomenal. We enjoyed a blackened Pacific halibut which was sublime. If anyone desires an excellent and exceptional west coast seafood experience, look no further.

Our table staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the building. It was quiet and the view was great. The food and cocktails were exceptional!

Great view. Food was spectacular including the crab cakes, swordfish and the service. Our waitress was superb. Very engaging and knowledgeable. The bartender made a very good “Old Fashioned “. I will be back !
Never again! One of the Worst fine type dining experiences ? the waitress was nice but food was awful! We went in to have 1.5 lb crab legs each.. a nice lunch and expensive we knew.. but we were craving good crab legs!! they boiled the crab not steamed them and over boiled it was like rubber! We couldn't even crack them they were so soft..They also forgot our other dish..-we only got one..but that was ok because it was so bad we saved $.. the appetizer clam chowder came out cold and so thick you could stand your spoon up in it.. if you like that kinda clam chowder it's all u!! The restaurant was super noisy and that could have been forgiven if the food was good, but it was a waste of 150$ and our Sunday afternoon..so sad ?
