I love it here ! The staff is always so welcoming makes you feel like family, I have two kids & they are super kid friendly. Love Erika she's always so good to us and remembers us and our usual orders. Blue water is our favorite spot to be. And the happy is the best!!!

I love coming here. They have a full bar and are always open to serving us what we request even when it's not on the menu exactly. Erica attended us today and she was super friendly. The food was great and the drinks even better. Blue water has become our new neighborhood spot.

I went in there with a buddy of mine who lives across the street at about 11:00 pm. You guys close at midnight. Yet we were "welcomed" by Erica with no smile, no eye contact, and immediately said she's closing out and we could only buy one drink. It's as if she wanted to leave as soon as you guys closed. That's not how the restaurant/bar industry works. You work until closing and then you clean up and restock. I even tried to chum it up with her just to break the ice and nothing but a cold shoulder. So for my ONE drink I was allowed I had a Long Island which was watered down at that. My buddy ordered a beer and a seafood sandwich. So I spent $55 in there and left an $11 tip. For what. A shitty attitude and closed down almost an hour early. You guys lost out on money. I guarantee you my friend and I would've ordered 2 more drinks after that one we had. So me, the customer, goes to say thank you and all she did was go uh huh. Again, still no eye contact, no smile, and not even a fuckin thank you to us. Us who gave her a fuckin 20% tip on some bullshit bitch service. I suggest you fire her. If you don't, you're going to lose a lot of business. We'll spread the word not to go if she's there. And we know a lot of people around there. Erica is not fit for the service industry. Tell her to go stock shelves. This happened on 4/19/24. My receipt even says 11:28pm on it. Which means we were there at least by 11 pm. Again, an HOUR before you close. We didn't even stick around til closing time. She wouldn't let us order a other drink. Wasn't because we were visibly drunk either. Because we hadn't drank anything yet until we got there. Cool place, good food, HORRIBLE service with Erica.

Absolutely not. Drinks are gross. The muscles we ordered were wayyy too "fishy" and if you know seafood you know its not good. If youre already there or HAVE to be there I would recommend the Alfredo pasta with shrimp and crab (you build yourself) .... other than that - Good luck.

I ordered a pound of shrimp and was presented with this large bowl of seafood! I was only expecting steamed shrimp and some butter; but, I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of fresh corn and red potatoes. The rest of our food also tasted fresh with elaborate flavors and different options, if needed. The waitstaff was very attentive and friendly with me and my family while dining. The owner was also present and went out of his way to check how our meal and dining experience was going. We'll be coming back with friends since their dining room has plenty of room to accommodate parties.

Food is delicious here, staff is friendly, & there's always good beer. Highly recommend the cranberry mimosas.

Very friendly staff, bartenders and good food! Lots of tvs, a ton of eye catching decor, lots of beer selections. Came for happy hour and enjoyed it, but oysters were tiny but packed with flavor. Crab quesadillas made with real crab, all of the food we ordered was flavorful and tasty!! Catfish bites were good, cheesy scallops were delightful but more on the heavy side.

First time here... and it will be the only time! Hi All, I hope your day is going well! My girlfriend and I were out for a drive yesterday (04/07/2024), saw this place, neither of us had been or heard anything about it, so we went in. Staff were very welcoming, I have to say that! Likely, though, because that was the only redemptive thing this place has going for it. We don't drink, but I got the feeling booze is the priority there, to get you liquored up so you don't notice how abysmally horrific the food is! Cocktail sauce from a shrimp cocktail burned my girlfriend's nose. Not from spice or temperature, more like something in it had gone bad. She got a filet mignon... $37... that she took one bite of and pushed it aside. I got a chicken sandwich that was hard... the chicken breast was rock hard. I could not bite through it, and I struggled to cut it with a knife. That much effort, I never even took one bite, so it was a complete waste of $20. The coffee was nothing but bitter water. No coffee flavor at all! Gas station coffee or coin-op dispenser coffee would have been lightyears better! She at least was able to eat her twice-baked potato, otherwise we would both have walked out with no additional food in our stomachs than we walked in with. The girl who served us was awesome, so normally I'd have tipped like 30%, but the food bill for filet mignon, a shrimp coctail, chicken sandwich, a ccocktail, a coffee was $80! This place is so extremely bad I can hardly believe it had a 4 star review. I would rate it lower than this 1 star review if I could! I don't generally have such a strong visceral response against a restaurant, but these people who own it are robbing you if you go here. I will be going out of my way to spread the negative word against Blue Water Seafood and Crab when anyone asks me about a seafood place. Truly truly, do not give these people your money. They give you Grade Z meat for Grade AAA prices. Put them out of business. They're part of the problem in Silicone Valley, not part of the solution. Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful day! ?

We went to Blue Water for my husband's birthday. This was our second time. We had a great experience the first time and had anticipated another great meal. We were extremely disappointed. The server hardly interacted with us, but she threw the box for leftovers at my husband, my fried catfish was undercooked and the atmosphere was very cold as in the energy in the place. We decided that we're not going back.

Fast and friendly service and very good seafood selection. Great place for a business lunch or just to relax.

Crawfish and sausage was extremely tough and flavorless, waitress was nice tho, that being said didn't think it was worth the money

First time trying this place. The food smell is amazing. The ambience is casual and make me feel that I'm in Maui with all the decorative vibe. They have a quite seafood variety but also serve sandwiches, burgers, and pasta. The drink menu also have various kind of non/alcoholic beverages. Today we order lobster rolls which come with the lobster bisque, pasta with marinara sauce, new england clam chowder, shrimps and clams, and crab cake plate that come with 2 sides and we choose twice baked potato and garlic noodles. The lobster roll was ok. I have a better one but the bisque is the bomb! The pasta is good and the portion is quite generous. The chowder was too salty so I asked for a cup of hot water and the staff also brought a bigger bowl without having to ask him. A plus for the service!! The crab cake plate was delicious, the garlic noodle was ok. The staff are efficient and quite attentive. Parking space is plenty during dinner time. If you're a seafood lover, you should give it a try

The service and food here was great! We got the twice baked potato, the vic chicken sandwich with cajun fries and fried shrimp. Their cocktail menu is pretty limited so we ordered our own drinks from the bar and got a moscow mule and a long island iced tea. Both drinks were great so we got a second round and the bill was still under $100, love that. The food was delicious, I especially loved how the shrimp were fried and super crispy. The restaurant is far larger than it appears with seating in the front near the bar, booths and larger tables in the back, as well as outdoor patio seating. I was def sleeping on this place for a while but I'll surely be back!
