      Food was great! Came here for New Years- Friend and I may have gotten food poisoning from the amount of shellfish consumed but nonetheless was delicious

      We come here every time we go to Coronado. It's one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always excellent. My husband and I ordered the Salmon, miso black cod, calamari, and scallops. 10/10 recommend. It did not disappoint.

      We came at 5 on a Monday evening so service was quick and the restaurant was nice and quiet. Our server was great and offered us extra crackers for our 13 month old baby.

      Will definitely always come back whenever we're in Coronado.

      We popped into Bluewater on a Monday evening after strolling the lovely Coronado Beach boardwalk. The experience was spectacular from start to finish. The restaurant had been recommended to us and while we did not have a reservation we were able to secure a window table after a short wait at the bar (during which a couple of oyster shooters were consumed).

      The atmosphere throughout the restaurant was vibrant and we had a wonderful view looking east toward the San Diego mainland. We ordered crab cakes, scallops, and Bloody Mary's, all of which we enjoyed. However, the highlight of the meal was the chowder - we took the "Local Tip" from the menu which literally combined the Manhattan and New England Clam Chowders. I have never seen this done in my life and what resulted was an explosion of fantastic flavors! Plus, the clams themselves were fresh, plump, and delicious. I would return for this menu item alone.

      In summary, I highly recommend Bluewater to anyone finding themselves in need of a meal on Coronado, even if only visiting for a few hours.

      Our service was terrible. We were seated for over 20 minutes before a waiter came to check on us. And that was only after we approached the front desk.

      The food was mediocre at best. The steak was under seasoned and over cooked. The lobster was way over cooked to the point of being hard to cut.

      Way over priced! We will not be back.

      Beautiful Location, AMAZING food, Great Service! We reserved the patio for dinner for my sister's wedding and it was the PERFECT dinner, we couldn't have asked for better. The food was so delicious, the service was stellar, and they really went above and beyond with everything. The set up was beautiful, they let us have their cake out and displayed too, it was just all around perfect. Shoutout to Harvey, he really went above and beyond and we were really greatful for all his help making my sister's big day AMAZING!

      You cannot go wrong with anything you order here, the view/location is gorgeous, if you're on the fence just go here you won't regret it!

      Where they let us set up her wedding cake - perfect view behind her cake!
      How they set up the reserved patio for us! It was Perfect for her small Wedding!

      Parking: There is a parking along the road and some close by near the water. Depending on what day you go you might be able to find a closer spot.

      Service: The service was very professional. Our server. He was patient with us as well which was very appreciated.

      Food: Food was great. We started with the baked crab and artichoke dip was delicious! It was warm and hot until our main dish came which is always a good thing. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Mahi Mahi and I was blown away by the flavor. I belleve this was the first time that I had this type of fish before and It won't be the last. The cream what complimented it and plus the mashed potatoes made me forget where I was on every bite that I took. For a drink l had a virgin Mojito which was amazing.

      Ambiance: Ambiance was great. We we were able to get a window view to where we can see boats coming and going.

      Opportunities: My wife ordered a drink that had a hair in it. The server apologized and got her another drink right away. Not a big gripe, I'm sure that happens from time to time and they were able to resolve it.

      Overall: This was my first time at this location and I enjoyed everything about it. The server was polite, the ambiance was very welcoming and it wasn't too loud to the point where you couldn't hear your +1 across from you. Would definitely return. |

      Service was phenomenal. Fish was fresh and well prepared. Fried calamari was disappointing, didn't seem as fresh and was a little chewy/overcooked. Desserts were delicious. We would come back. It's casual fish grill/oceanside vibe.

      Food: I was feeling adventurous and since I have an upcoming trip to France, I tried the France's Bouillabaisse
      Provençal style saffron infused broth, fresh fish, mussels,
      clams, shrimp and scallops, with rouille, and paired it with the recommended Trimbach Pinot blanc. Everything was delicious. (I usually do not eat mussels or clams.) Keeping with the French theme, for dessert I opted for the creme brûlée, which was amazing and so delicious. Just because it sounded good, I finished with the coconut margarita, which was very good, but did not pair well with the creme brûlée.

      Service: Kim was my server, she was excellent - very attentive, but not over bearing.

      Ambiance: I sat outside on a beautiful early evening in Coronado, California. The ambiance could not get any better. Kim was very welcoming and offered to lower the blind for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the setting sun and view of Glorieta Bay!!

      Enjoyed lunch with co-workers at this restaurant and I must say, it was delightful! The food I had was amazing! Ordered a lobster roll that was incredibly fresh, savory, and perfect! The calamari appetizer had the crunch all calamari plates should have salty level was balanced it was tasty.

      The service provided by a gentleman was professional brought humor to the table. He was courteous and topped off our drinks every chance he could even when the afternoon was busy.

      The dining areas were spacious and the views of the deck and marina were a treat.

      If you're in the area and love seafood, I highly recommend this place!

      I think 4 is pretty accurate. We arrived in Coronado on a Friday night and opted for a restaurant off the Hotel del Coronad grounds. This place is across the street and was a great option.

      I called ahead because Yelp said they were closing in 45min, but they were welcoming and stated they were still seating parties. There was no wait upon arrival.

      The kids ordered from the kids' menu and had the cheeseburger slider and salmon 'dippers'. What I love most is how healthy the food was. The fries did not have too much salt. They offered juice to drink, and it included orange slices. In addition, I thought the dippers were fried, but it was baked salmon. The kids loved every bite, and we ended up getting them an additional side of fries to share.

      I wasn't hungry and shared the crab cakes and the steamed shellfish combo. Loved the crab cakes but did not enjoy the shellfish. We opted for the clams/mussels combo and found the broth/white wine sauce to be a bit bland.

      We also ordered the salmon w/ greens and mushroom and chimichurri sauce and it was AMAZING!

      Service was absolutely excellent! Our server Tyler was very patient and friendly, and the GM stopped by the table and was also really nice.

      This is located right on the water and was an absolute treat.

      We enjoyed and highly recommend.
