   Everything was wonderful. We really enjoyed the entire service team too. You guys do such a great job. We enjoyed all the dishes. The only one I want to give feedback is the parmesan encrusted rockfish. Way too much crust … if you could just grill the rockfish and serve it with a salsa or something, it would be terrific. Thanks again.

   We made a reservation but when we showed up, we were told that there were no tables available. Once we finally sat down, we waited around 20 minutes for someone to take our order before we gave up and left. We were given our menus and water, but aside from that, no one came to acknowledge us the entire time we were there. There are better options available, such as the one next door that is also on the water with a view.

   Great food, great service, and an excellent place to watch the Blue Angels! We may have to make this an annual tradition. We hope this iconic spot will stay for a very long time.

   I’d been looking forward to try Blu Water for years. Only to be let down. The cheese board was more berries and grapes than cheese. Fish n chips were meh. Frozen fries? Really? And where was the bistro vibe?

   Hello - I was charged twice on my debit card. Waited over 48 hrs to see if charge would “drop off”. It hasn’t. Called 3x today and was cut off 3x after Ashley said she’d transfer me to someone. If this could be fixed asap I’d appreciate it. Thank you!

    Among my go to place for brunch especially for a good catch up with friends. The food is consistently good, the staff are always friendly and attentive and the view of the water is amazing (if you happen to be seated in the dining area). It is my pleasure to recommend this place for good food with great comfort.

    The atmosphere is lovely. Had it been warmer would have loved to dine on the outdoor deck. Our party shared several small dishes which was fun. Everything was delicious. Our server, Kevin, was outstanding.

    Great outdoor patio. Good service. The menu looked promising. But lacked flavor in everything. No seasoning. My poached eggs were hard. There was cheese on the potatoes that wasn’t listed on the menu, so my friend with a dairy allergy couldn’t eat them. Nice view, but the flavor was not worth the price or the drive we made.

    The problem with restaurants with a view is they have to do very little else to succeed. This is the case here. Mediocre prepared food from an uninspired menu. The quality of ingredients was suspect and the construction of dishes "old style" -big portioned servings (pile a pound of brown lettuce on a plate, slice 3 massive tomatoes, one piece of basil, and mozzarella; put it in a freezer overnight, so that the cheese dries to shoe leather, then expect someone to think its caprese salad). The wait staff was lackadaisical bordering on asleep. We ordered a bottle of wine, an appetizer, and two main dishes. They came out in exactly the reverse order, main, appetizer, followed by a late bottle of vino.

    Had high hopes for this recommended restaurant but the experience was very disappointing. The issues really fall to management. They are understaffed but don’t close off seats so staff is overwhelmed. Entrees for our table came out half at one time and half ten mins later. Guacamole provided was brown. The cheese board was disgraceful. There was probably less than 2 oz of cheese Table was sticky.

    We dine at BluWater Bistro often and the service was a bit off during this visit. Our first waiter sat us and took a long time to return to take our order. So long that another wait staff had to take our order. She was very nice, but when our food came it wasn't exactly as ordered. It was late and I decided to eat it as served. Our original wait person did return and was apologetic for the delay, which was fine, just not the usual very good service we are use to at BluWater. Not to worry, we will return, just wanted to let you know the experience wasn't as enjoyable sit usually is.

    Great location. A bit disappointed that the menu online was different than the menu at the restaurant. Several people in my party do not eat meat or dairy and the server and kitchen was able to make modifications since the non-meat entrée was no longer available on the menu.

    Great with a few hiccups , the wait staff didn’t coordinate and no one knew who’s section we were in, so had to wait for awhile before we received water and bread. Silverware was soiled , had to send back twice … third time is a chat I guess… Dutch our waiter was excellent! The drinks yummy and the steaks were on point.

    We had an ok experience. We ordered coffee after waiting for awhile for a server and were told that there weren’t any mugs so waited about 20 minutes before the server came back with paper cups. 20 minutes is a long time to wait for coffee. Servers were very nice but were stretched way too thin. Food was ok.

    Made a reservation via OpenTable to ensure a good experience for Father’s Day brunch. Showed up a few minutes before our reservation time to a line out the door. Staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. When telling them we had a reservation, they told us we’d have to wait because they were “just really busy” and when reminded that we had a reservation, they told us “we can’t guarantee reservations made online… or over the phone” (how else would one make a reservation, in person?). After waiting for quite a while and asking about our table multiple times, all while watching other parties get seated, some of whom were walk-ins, we were told we could be seated outside (which was NOT what we reserved) and we told them it was too cold and we wanted inside, per our reservation. After my mother finally demanded to be seated at one of the multiple empty tables that we could see from the entrance, we were finally seated at a table too small for our party of 6 - 30 minutes after our reservation time. We were then left sitting at an empty table for almost another 30 minutes (not even water) while watching other tables seated AFTER us be served multiple times. We eventually were able to order, received our food (not hot and not great) & beverages, and eventually had to flank our server down to actually get & pay the bill so we could get out of there, since she never checked on us after we received our meals. This used to be one of our favorite places to go for special occasions, but not anymore after this experience. A place like this that has been around for as long as it has should be able to do much better.
