The crab dip is absolutely the most amazing I’ve ever had. It has tons of crab meat in it. I had the bay fish and my wife had the chicken salad they were both very very good. We stayed on the bar side and Cheyenne was absolutely amazing. Made the best drinks ever. We drove 45 minutes and we’re definitely not disappointed. Cheyenne should get a raise. Thank you thank you The reason I put the amount of money per person was so high is because we had drinks and etc..

A total hole in the wall from the outside, but dang, their chefs know what they're doing inside. Very different take on our favorites. You've got to try this place. Slightly upscale with a separate bar room away from dining room.

If you're making the run between I-95 & I-75, Blue Water Bay in Melrose is well worth stopping for! The service was friendly, welcoming and informative. The food came out in a timely manner. Long enough to indicate the food was being prepared and not sitting on a warming window. But not so long that you wanted to gnaw off your hand from hunger! We love fresh pork rinds aka chicharrones. They don't try to season them or gussy them up with sauces. They are fresh and hot and delicious! The smoked, fried ribs with homemade blueberry barbecue sauce were phenomenal! Can't say enough about these! The fried shrimp were perfect as well. This will now be on our list when traveling to and from FL!

This little gem of a restaurant in this Tiny Town was absolutely awesome. Our waiter Forest was fantastic. I had the Prime Steak cooked to perfection. The lobster bisque soup was absolutely out of this world and portions here are huge. Fried oysters were the best we have ever eaten anywhere. I would recommend anyone that comes through Melrose to stop at the Blue Water Bay.

Great place with friendly service and a diverse menu. Clean and cozy. Lots of parking. The food was excellent. Preparation didn't take an unreasonable amount of time. Price was fair. Recommend it and will definitely be going back
