Bluewater Grill

Found this place searching for seafood on Google. Wasn't disappointed at all. The atmosphere was great, the server was very nice, and the food was amazing. We had oysters, very fresh, fish and chips, cooked to perfection, shrimp pasta with scallops, amazing, and the New England clam chowder which was phenomenal. Definitely a place to remember, a bit pricey though.

Really good food! This is the third time I’ve been here. I wasn’t sure about which clam chowder to get so I decided on a combo of both..really good. My wife got the the red snapper and I went with the spicy ahi tuna. So good! Service was prompt, friendly and helpful. Will be back next time we’re in town!

This place was amazing. First time there but will be back for sure. Quaint atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. This restaurant has a fresh fish market on site that you can buy fresh seafood catches of the day from Swordfish to Mahi Mahi, to Rock fish to Oysters to Scallops. We started with crab cakes and clay chowder soup. Both very good and tasty. The bloody Mary and mojito cocktails were done right. Oue entrees were the Salmon and Swordfish plates. Both excellent looking and tasting. Th finish the great meal with key lime pie and coffee was a good ending to a great dining experience. Amanda, our server, was very professional and friendly and answered all our questions and was on top of things.

Nice restaurant where the older fish house Vera Cruz used to be. Good outdoor seating in the sun facing the street. Their sourdough bread is awesome. We had the crab and artichoke dip which was really good. Sanddabs grilled just right. And a nice ceased salad. I tried their beer sampler. Nice place to visit in Carlsbad if you’re looking for seafood.

Wonderful, wonderful. Such amazing people work here. A+ Service. The ambience was lovely. I enjoyed the sound of the Coastliner as we dined al fresco. Late October evening air wasn't an issue, there were plenty of outdoor heaters that kept the chill away. The food was amazing. I enjoyed that little signs of consideration were in everything from the lemon skewered on the giant toothpick over the glass (in case I didn't want lemon in my tea, no need to ask), to the extra crackly sourdough bread that's to-die-for and we didn't even have to ask, let alone run down a wait staff member as I gladly would have to get another serving of that heaven. They timed my difficult meal to perfection as we enjoyed our steamed clams appetizer and then swordfish and trout. Too full to force more but unwilling to finish the night without dessert, I got our key lime pie to go. A peek in my to-go bag and I've got all the treat I need this Halloween weekend.

First, this is the ONLY place I've found in my 10 years in CA that knows how to make true MD style blue crab cakes. Second, the service here is amazing. Third, the open doors and being so close to the beach provides a great breeze throughout the restaurant. Lastly, the decor and vibe is very relaxing. I'll definitely be back for many future visits.
