I'd go here again. Very clean and airy restaurant. Staff is friendly and helpful. Had lunch inside here with another couple August 4, 2024. All enjoyed their fare. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. Very nice ambience, but you can walk into just about any restaurant in this area and find the same things on the menu.

We have been here before, great service nice decor and great food. We ordered our drinks and food everything was perfect. Also to top it off we asked for a slice of Key-lime Pie,My wife ordered the Fish n Chips and I ordered the Chipotle Swordfish. Our Server ADA was great and took care of us. So come in and enjoy some great tasting Seafood

The Gemelli Pasta was superb!Bluewater Grill is an excellent spot to stop by during our stay in Carlsbad. The place was bustling with guests on a nice Tuesday evening and got to sit outside with heated lamps. Service was spectacular and very friendly, ensuring all was comfortable and we got what we wanted. The slight downside if anything was there is a train track that runs quite close to this restaurant so trains do come by blaring from time to time, so that was a bit interrupting for our dinner. Food though was terrific and perfectly made. Mussels, gemelli pasta with clams, and fish and chip were perfectly made, and fresh too. I couldn't find anything wrong with the food on this day and it was well worth the first time checking this place out. I know for sure I will be back again if I get the opportunity to come back down to Carlsbad.

Delusion sushi. Not too far from the main walking area. Has its own parking area which is always a plus.Definitely starts getting busy are 5:30, happy hours ends. Definitely recommend the whiskey sour. The fish was delicious and fresh stating. They gave fresh wasabi you can purchase as a side. The interior was a modern upscale look. Good place to try out.

Bluewater Grill in Carlsbad is an amazing stop if you're in town! This spot is right next to a large parking lot and is walking distance from the rest of downtown and the beach. We stopped for a late lunch so picked some lighter options. Of course we had to start with oysters - mine and my boyfriend's favorite. They were super fresh and delicious. For our meals my boyfriend had the Crab BLTA. This was a BLT with arugula, crab salad, and avocado. It was light and fresh. I had a bowl of clam chowder - half and half with New England and Manhattan. I'm glad I got half and half , it made it a little lighter than typical clam chowder. We sat on their patio to enjoy the lovely day. The service was great! We'll be back next time we're in town!

We came here on our staycation for the 4th of July holiday. I'm so glad we did too! We loved the holiday decor and friendly greeting. Our server was nice but we didn't really get checked on as much as we'd like. Their oysters were BOMB! Fat, juicy, creamy and oh so tasty. We happen to come during happy hour and ordered 2 orders. We also ordered the fish tacos and surfrider sushi roll on happy hour. All delish! Not on happy hour, we ordered a Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was tasty and the Caesar cheese forward. We like cheese, so that was a plus. Most different. We will definitely come back when in town! Also wanted to mention that this place is in the heart of Carlsbad activities so there is so much around to check out too. We had shave ice after and shipped a little. Super cute area! There was a farmers market going on as well.

We had friends from Denver visiting San Diego, so we decided to meet down in Carlsbad. This is my first time at Bluewater Grill, but I had read some Yelp reviews and thought it was a good place for 'fresh seafood' and I was not disappointed!! They have an excellent selection of FRESH fish from all over the country and their own boat which supplies FRESH CAUGHT seafood daily, can't get too much better than that! We met for lunch and requested an outside table. The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated and had a nice bar with a large patio for outdoor dining. Restrooms were clean and well maintained. The hostess called to confirm our reservation for 6 prior to our arrival, which was a good idea. When we got to the restaurant, we were promptly greeted with smiles and seated at our table in the back. Our waiter, Caden, was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about the menu, offered great suggestions, and told us what some of his favorites were; he was very happy and super friendly! We started with the baked crab artichoke appetizer which was quite tasty, and definitely a step above the usual spinach artichoke dip. We could definitely taste the crab and it was served with tortilla chips. I ordered "Pick 2 out of 3" so I chose the New England clam chowder and the fish taco and there was plenty of clams inside that creamy chowda, and the fish was a nice big portion and I had it prepared Baja style; it was so moist and flaky and delicious that I'm still talking about!! My husband had the fish tacos too but had his blackened style. He loved them! My girlfriend ordered walnut crusted Halibut fromAlaska, topped with lemon butter caper sauce that was out of this world. Her two daughters ordered the linguine w. prawns in a tomato sauce, and the Crab BLTA. Her granddaughter ordered the fish and chips and ALL of us enjoyed our meal, not one complaint or suggestion! My husband and I didn't drink because we had errands to do but the gals on vacation ordered a few different cocktails. One was the coconut margarita which had a coconut rim and looked really yummy! (I need to drive down again to try it) We are so pleasantly surprised with our experience, we will definitely be back! I do want to mention that the restaurant is next to railroad tracks so trains are going by and it does get loud, but it didn't bother us at all!

Had a wonderful dinner at Bluewater Grill tonight. I can highly recommend the halibut! Great happy hour as well. But, a special shootout to our waiter Vladimir, who was outstanding! It was such a great experience all around. Tonight was our first time eating at Bluewater Grill, and we look forward to going back soon!

Great restaurant to visit for dinner. Came with a reservation and service and quick and friendly. They have a good size menu as well.1. Lobster bisque - Tasty, small bowl, could use more chunks of lobster in there2. Oysters - Clean tasting and good3. Fish - Several choices here but they make it well and still tender inside4. Tuna - Lighter on the seasoning but still good nonethelessOverall a good dinner spot to visit and recommend reservations during peak season.
