Reviews Summary
Bluewater Grill is celebrated for its fresh, sustainable seafood and excellent customer service, with many highlighting the award-winning clam chowder and friendly staff. While some find the portions small for the price, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, marked by a vibrant atmosphere and delicious food.
"We finally got around to trying out Bluewater Grill and are glad we did! We stopped in on a busy Saturday night without a reservation, but ended up waiting less than 20 minutes. We made good use of the time by grabbing seats in the bar area where we ordered an espresso martini and an old-fashioned, both of which were perfectly prepared by Kate!
We were seated outside and were totally comfortable thanks to lots of heaters. We started with the calamari appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for four people to share - note for next time! Cain brought us a little bit of their New England clam chowder to sample which was excellent! I had grilled salmon and so appreciate that it was prepared to the perfect medium rare doneness, and delicious served with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Hubby enjoyed the roasted stripe bass and finished every last bite! No room for dessert, although it was tempting as Cain explained that all are prepared in-house.
All the staff were so friendly and helpful, from the hostess, to Kate and Matt at the bar, to our awesome server, Cain. We'll be back...and look forward to trying out their happy hour as well!"

"Had a nice lunch at Bluewater grill in Temecula on Saturday. Tammy and Janice were simply fantastic in their customer service with a smile. We started with drinks and the crab/artichoke dip and then ordered our entrees. My wife had the halibut and I had the fish and chips. The ambiance was positive with a happening vibe.
Nice spot and recommended."

"Celebrated a graduation with lunch, and this place is Top Notch, without schmantzy pricing! From the phone receptionist who took our reservation, to the greeter who seated us, to the team who made us comfortable and served our every request! The Manager was highly visible, and checked in with us, accompanied by the Chef? Chef seemed a bit shy, but needs to know that everything about the food was GREAT! A kids menu was presented with crayons for our almost 2 year old. The requested high chair was too small, so a quickly supplied booster seat fit perfectly. The seven of us were seated at a large table, in a side area. Very nice table spacing, and not noisy! And yes, it's Temecula, so show up in a T-shirt and slaps, and ENJOY! Happy to share this positive review. Congratulations on creating an environment of excellence. We'll be back!!!"
