Be aware, if you are sitting outside, it can be VERY noisy. Was a bit surprised how long it took to be able to order our food, but after that hiccup, smooth sailing. Literally every dish tasted amazing and was a hit. The service was friendly and helpful throughout. Definitely worth a visit.

This is an absolutely charming restaurant in a historic building from the 1800’s. The ambiance is refined yet warm and welcoming. Beautiful interior design elements. Creative cocktail menu and curated CA-focused wine list. Wonderful menu, organic and locally-sourced, in-house pastry chef. Salmon was delicious, the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever encountered. The attentive wait staff and mixologist were a joy to engage with.

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.
