    Wonderful meal with out of town guests. From the time we arrived the staff was professional and helpful. Our waitress was patient and friendly. We enjoyed oysters, shrimp and calamari as appetizers. The entrees were also delicious. Highly recommend.

We're thrilled to hear that our staff provided professional and helpful service from the moment you arrived, and that your waitress made your visit so enjoyable. It's fantastic to know you loved the oysters, shrimp, and calamari, along with your entrees. Our calamari is simple, but I end up eating like candy...

    Absolutely impeccable service by Harvey. He is professional, warm and kind. He was very patient as well, because I arrived early at 11:06 am yet my reservation was for 11:45 am. He served me while I waited about 40 minutes for my friend to arrive. I was seated at my favorite table, service was immediate and Harvey took care of me/us through the entire and pleasant luncheon experience Food, as usual, was outstanding. I am a frequent guest at the Bluewater Grill and the experience's never disappoints.

    We were delighted that the staff was able to give us our favorite seat upstairs next to the window, even though I had not requested it in my reservation! Our server was prompt and pleasant throughout. My husband's fish and chips and my butterfish were perfectly prepared and added to the fun of celebrating my husband's birthday, albeit a few weeks early! We agreed that the Bluewater grill has the freshest, most flavorful fish on the island!
