Reviews for Bluewater Grill in Santa Barbara, CA
It's an ok place to eat, and it's reasonably priced for what you get. I wouldn't say to avoid it, just have realistic... expectations that it is average food. While the Baked crab and artichoke dip and the Grilled Spanish Octopus appetizers wereenjoyable, both had little of both crab and octopus and more of the artichoke or fingerling potatoes in each case. The Gemellipasta was over cooked and too soft (I don't expect al dente, neither I particularly like pasta too hard, but it shouldn't bemushy), and the Fisherman's Platter just had too much oily batter that didn't allow to enjoy the scallops or fish. However,staff was very friendly and professional, food portions where good and the food felt hearty in general, hence I'd stillrecommend to give it a try but not expecting spectacular food. Read more
The food here was amazing. And we had the best server! She was great, even helped us move to a table outside after being inside... for a bit. I wish I remembered her name because she was so sweet and checked in on us to make sure everything was great. Thefood was amazing. I had the Gemelli pasta with shrimp and scallops! And wow it was amazing! My partner had the fish and chipsand that was just as great! I can’t wait to come back and eat here again. There is many indoor seating and some outdoor. Read more
The ceviche was not my favorite. The scallops and the bronzine fish was excellent. The drinks were refreshing. The serve was... slow due to how busy it was. I was cold, the air was right across us. Read more
My branzino was good but I felt it was small. My wife had the scallops on risotto. It was a beautiful presentation but the... risotto was essentially tasteless atop a bed of oil. Great atmosphere but food was mediocre at best. Read more
Delicious food and great service! The steak was cooked just as ordered and the scallops were perfectly seared. The view from the... upper patio bar and the comfy seats we had for dinner on the patio made our night. We will definitely be back! Read more
Really tasty food. We ordered the Mussles which came in a delicious broth, a Scallop appetizer and Garlic fries. To make the... experience even better we sat on the patio where we could enjoy a nice sunny day looking out towards the beach. Read more
We love the outdoor dining at a patio in the second floor with a great ocean view. The food is excellent. The cioppino is the... best and its soup taste is very authentic. Be sure to come for happy hour. The prices are excellent with big portions, and thewaiter Justin is outstanding. Read more
Beautiful restaurant right across from Stearns Wharf with great views of the beach and pier. For the appetizer we ordered the... Calamari Fritti and for the entrees we ordered the Black & Blue Ahi Tuna and the Lemon Pepper Mahi Mahi. The food was amazingand cooked to perfection. I absolutely loved the view from the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and I will definitelycome here again the next time I'm in Santa Barbara. Read more
