The service is top notch and I’m trying the different menu items and enjoying them. The outdoor patios have a great ambiance and are dog friendly. My husband loves the snapper and I appreciate the way they can modify the entrees to your liking by grilling the shrimp and scallops instead of frying them with the Fisherman’s platter.

What a disappointment and a shame for this type of restaurant! Everything started with the bread and butter service. When we tried their butter, it didn't taste anything like butter; just a bitter taste and cheap oil. After we asked our waiter what kind of butter it was and what it actually contained, she said it was European-style butter (which many people would assume is probably something healthy). But I asked her to ask in the kitchen what it was actually made of. She said she would bring the package from the kitchen, but when she came back, she just told us the name: SunGlow European-style butter, which they buy in huge buckets and has nothing to do with real butter. After we read all the ingredients, we were shocked...it's not even butter; it's worse than margarine ingredients. Such a disappointment for a good-looking restaurant that tries to do a nice presentation, but serves such bad quality food. I think customers have the right to know that the butter is not real butter and that they are consuming a bunch of seed oils with fake flavors and colors added. I understand that all kitchens try to optimize costs and use seed oils in cooking, but why would you serve this for bread service? Plus, the crab cakes were the worst experience as well, almost nothing to do with crab meat, mostly just filled with breadcrumbs. After understanding that they are even trying to be cost-effective for a chain restaurant, even on the butter, you can understand that everything served in that restaurant is of the lowest quality and the cheapest ingredients. Is it worth spending that kind of money on that type of food? Definitely not... such a shame.

First time here. Sat at the bar and had a couple glasses of wine and the blackened fish tacos. Wines were decently priced and tacos were loaded with fish. Very enjoyable.

I am from the East Coast, Virginia. The best seafood! The crabcakes & Chiopino was the best I ever ate. I live on Mexico, but will go all the way back to Temecula just to have lunch at the Bluewater Grill. Thank you!!

We had a 6:15 reservation. When we arrived, they sat us immediately even though there were folks without reservations waiting to be seated.
Our waiter, Scott was outstanding. As soon as I finished the last swallow of my drink, there was a fresh one right there! He was very personable and attentive. He made our Anniversary dinner very special for us. Thanks Scott!!

Ambience: Old like a diner. The name doesnt fit the decor inside Seating: Weird corner table facing the entrance was offered. Preferred a booth and we said we can wait for it to be cleaned but the hostess didnt bother so we sat on some tables and chairs/ Service: Waitress changed immediately but wasnt on break. Maybe she didnt like us. New waitress didnt bother to clean up the empty appetizer plates when the main dishes showed up. Food: Bread is the best thing in this place. Poke was ok. Scallops and Seafood Paella were flavorless and disgusting. Scallops were rubbery and over seared. We ate only 1/4 of the plate and wanted to escape from this place. Who puts grits, corn and undercooked chopped asparagus mixed with scallops for $40? Overall: If you like seafood, this is not the place. If you like a diner, this is not the place for you. Only New York strip as a red meat option. If you just want to eat and waste over 120+ for 2 people on food that is tasteless with strange textures and appearance, this is the perfect place for you.

The serving staff were neither very friendly nor attentive. I ordered the same dish with side option 2 days prior at the Santa Barbara location (which has FANTASTIC service), but was told by our server in Temecula that they couldn't honor the request. Bit a great way to start things and it was downhill from there.

We had the walnut crusted halibut and chicken under a brick. The halibut had a nice crust but was still moist. Really good. The chicken under a brick was flavorful but a little dry. Good. Both came with tasty au scalloped potatoes and asparagus. These were really good. The service was excellent throughout
My meal the scallops were over ooked and rubbery. The grits were way undercooked, and th asparagus had lots of fiberious ends that were stringy it's a no return for me

Meals are always tasty and properly proportioned. Fish is very fresh. Service is good without being around too much. The clam chowder (both kinds) are excellent.
