I stopped into Bluewater Grill for lunch and had a really enjoyable experience. The seafood was impressively fresh—exactly what you hope for in a coastal spot—and everything on the plate tasted clean and well-prepared. Their wine selection was surprisingly good for midday dining, with options that paired nicely without feeling too heavy for lunch.What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server was awesome: friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. They struck that perfect balance of being present without hovering, which made the whole meal feel relaxed and easy.Overall, Bluewater Grill is a great choice for a quality lunch by the water. I’d happily come back to try more of the menu.

Love this place. Great food, wonderful service. I had the crab avocado salad, delicious. They have their own boat that goes out and catches fish. They also have a fish market. I’m a huge fan of their clam chowder. You gotta come here. Nice patio as well as regular happy hours.

Our uber driver recommended this place to my wife and I. The drinks were excellent I had the margarita with serrano peppers and my wife had the cucumber mojito, both were great! We had the steamed clams and mussels and the New England clam chowder. I loved the chowder a must order! For lunch we had the blackened swordfish and the cod. Both were very good! The key line pie was sooooo good!! Definitely recommend this place!

Excellent seafood restaurant right in the heart of Carlsbad. Full bar, Excellent wine selection. My wife had the swordfish and I had the amazing butterfly fish (Black Cod) It cut like butter and melted in my mouth, to die for, service was Excellent..

We came here 3 years ago and loved it, so we came back. We were a little disappointed this time. The clam chowder was good but the shrimp and scallops with pesto cream sauce, not so much... 2 small scallops and 4 shrimp. Not worth the price.
