Bluewater Grill Santa Barbara

Great service but food was mediocre to poor. Don’t get the crab cakes they were the worst I have ever had.

Amazing place to taste variety of seafood.We visited on Sunday night close to their closing time and they were able to accommodate us even without a reservation.We were happy with all our drinks and food. I was blown away by Idaho Trout Amandine and this dish wasn’t even very pricey for their menu! Highly recommend

Absolutely impeccable! We were drawn in by its great location by the water but will definitely return because of the food. Everything was fantastic, but we were particularly fond of the Prawn Linguine. Might have been the best prawns we’ve ever had, despite having lived in Spain for many years. The kids menu was also great. Service and staff was so attentive and lovely. And the bread! The bread was delicious. Thank you Bluewater!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a graduation party for my daughter at the Blue Water Grill, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The venue itself was absolutely amazing. We had the entire second floor and balcony to ourselves, and the view of the ocean was simply breathtaking. It created a beautiful and serene atmosphere that added a touch of elegance to our celebration.Now, let's talk about the food. Every dish we tasted was an absolute delight. The flavors were rich, the ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was impeccable. The Blue Water Grill truly knows how to create delectable dishes. Additionally, the drinks served were not only strong but also wonderfully crafted. The bartenders clearly had a talent for mixology, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their flavorful creations.However, what truly set the Blue Water Grill apart was the outstanding service we received. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and attended to. With a party of around 40 people, it can be challenging to meet everyone's needs, but the staff at Blue Water Grill handled it with grace and efficiency. They were attentive, friendly, and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. The level of service provided was truly exceptional and contributed to making our event a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone.I would like to give special recognition to the general manager, Autumn. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our event ran smoothly was outstanding. She took the time to personally ensure that we were satisfied with every aspect of our celebration. Autumn's professionalism, warm demeanor, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly made a difference. We are incredibly grateful for her efforts and cannot thank her enough for making our daughter's graduation party a special day to remember.We look forward to hosting more events at this wonderful establishment. Thank you, Autumn, and the entire Blue Water Grill staff, for an unforgettable celebration!

We were seated on the outside patio so the view was fantastic. When we asked to for a better table than the one being offered it was immediately granted (that other table never was used it really is pretty poor. Behind a pole and in the path of all servers. Our waiter was kind and attentive. The presentation and flavor on the crab cakes and scallops were superb. The chopped salad uses cold rubbery chicken meat from leg bones so it was not very good at all and is dragging down the score a bit. We would come back. The interior downstairs is pretty cool
