“My wife and I enjoyed a lovely dinner early in the season at yellow Fin. The staff was very professional and accommodating and the food was fabulously prepared and carefully presented.“

“Clams are primo, Seafood Combo primo. Service is beyond good.“

“Went here with a party of 8. They don’t accept reservations but they sat our party in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant was packed! Fun vibe and Friendly and attentive staff.

The food was honestly out of this world delicious. The sourdough toast with ricotta and pistachio might be the best bite I’ve ever had in my life. I had the golden tilefish for dinner and it was cooked beautifully. My wife had the Pork Katsu and it is was also delicious.
Dessert course was awesome. Sticky toffee pudding and an orange cake that will ruin you for all other orange cakes!

Great food, service and vibe!“

“Our last day on vacation is reserved with a nice dinner with the family. We were on our way to another restaurant when we saw Blue water cafe. They mentioned BYOB and kids menu so we stopped in to ask the wait time (for a Sunday) which was 30 min for our family of 4 so we agreed to wait. It felt less than 30 min as the hostess showed us to our seats. Anthony our waiter reviewed the specials and we made our choices. The wife and I chose to split the zucchini mashed potato special with a salad which was more than enough for us. Their kids menu had ours vying for the penne noodles with sauce. Everything from the consistency and flavor was so good! After dinner we decided for dessert which I opted for the cheesecake cone as my kids went for the chocolate cake, again an A+. We are definitely making Blue water Cafe our go to whenever we return to the island. Thank you to everyone for making our night special.“

“I wish I discovered this place sooner. I've been coming to the island for years and I always drove past this place. That was. a mistake! I've eaten all up and down the island and this is my new favorite spot!

-edit: something has changed. They must have gotten a different food supplier or cook this season. We will still come back but we noticed the food is more oily or something now. Hope they fix it by next summer. This place was the best place!“
