Bluewater Grill - Coronado

So impressed with Bluewater Boathouse! This is the original boathouse for Hotel del Coronado that was converted to a restaurant. Such a beautiful, historic place!Our experience from start to finish was excellent. The hostesses greeted us with smiles, even though we didn't have a reservation. Our group of 6 arrived for an early dinner at 5:15 and were seated right away on the covered patio looking out on the water. Our server Malana was delightful and very knowledgeable of the menu and allergens. She gave great recommendations, all of which were superb. She always had a smile and joyful attitude.Every dish in our group was delicious. We joked that we didn't like it since we all cleaned our plates. So many choices for fresh seafood. Great gluten free options and even some vegan. The separate menu was much appreciated. (The only negative for me was not being able to taste the incredible smelling sourdough bread that everyone said was fresh and perfect! Stupid celiac.)Highly recommend. We'll certainly be back when we're in town.

Pretty disappointed. I really want to like this place but the meal was, frankly, terrible. Have the rockfish dinner. The Parmesan risotto was inedible, either bad cheese or old cheese but it more Romano than Parmesan. I couldn't eat it. The fried artichokes which are the vegetable of the dish were passable but had the same bitter Parmesan. The fish itself was ok but the sauce was amateurish. The bread was great and others in my party loved their meals. It's a tourist joint!

Considering coming here on 4th of July service was great and timely. I was worried it would've been hectic but not the case whatsoever. I made reservations for 2 same day only a few hours before coming by simply calling in.Our server Savannah offered drink and food recommendations regarding our picks. She was awesome with quick and efficient conversation during our stay! As we went to several restaurants, Savannah definitely stuck out during our visit in SD.Came for the Cedar Plank Salmon I've tried at the Carlsbad location but did not see it on the menu offered at Coronado. I could've asked but I didn't see it on the website either. I ordered the Gemelli Pasta, it was a large portion which came out hot and not strikingly flavorful which pesto usually is. Not the worst not the best. We also ordered Wagyu hamburger medium rare which was huge and tasty. Bathroom needs constant eye as TP was low and women were exchanging paper under the doors. Views were great.Will come back.

Came back for my birthday and ordered the same and no disappoints #PankoCrustedCalamariSteak #HalfChowdersInSameBowl #SeparateBills in four groups went much smoother but charging $2 for each person for a slice of cake even if they don't have a slice is not good service. Server was nice but extremely busy so always in a hurry.

My husband and I come to dine in several times. The first time was several years ago when we just moved in San Diego. We were attracted by the architecture and feeling like seafoods, so we decided to give a try. Everything is pretty good! I remember we had grilled fish, fried calamari and maybe salad. We loved here. This time we were not that hungry so I had a salad and my hubby had a fish taco, both are very good! The service is nice and fast. The view is amazing by the water, the atmosphere is great!

Very beautiful family restaurant . The staff was very accommodating I went 15 before closing time and they let me sit in bar area . I enjoyed something quick as kitchen was already closed . So it half n half clam chowder with fresh bread . Was delicious.Went again next day for real meal . Ordered ahi tuna on Mediterranean salad. Fish was slightly overcooked and salad dressing was salty

Right across the street of our hotel. Came here for dinner with our toddler. They have crayons and a coloring sheet which is an added bonus. High chairs available. We sat upstairs. Our waiter is nice and was the only waiter upstairs so he was very busy. sand dabs - On a bed of spinach and a side of scallop potatoes. The sand dabs were delicious and perfectly cooked. The scallop potatoes were lukewarm. I believe they reheated it. My husband got the sword fish off the local catch. He enjoyed it. Coconut ginger rice- we ordered it in hopes our picky toddler would eat it. She did and then probably got a mouth full of ginger and stopped. We liked the rice. Took a while to get our bill but our waiter is very busy.

If you're in Coronado and you want a delicious, high quality, but simple seafood dinner, I recommend the Bluewater Grill. And be sure to make a reservation! We made one and arrived a bit early and got seated pretty quickly. All the staff we interacted with were great and the food was exceptional. I definitely recommend both the lemon pepper Mahi Mahi and Tuscan Artichoke rockfish. The restaurant is also well kept. I am always impressed when a seafood restaurant does not smell fishy. This place is as high-class as Coronado itself.

Very good dinner. Simply prepared cod with rice and green beans. The fish was some of the best I've ever had. Appetizer was oysters Rockefeller expertly prepared. Many places drench the oysters in butter but these were perfectly appointed and left the oyster as the star of the dish. Service was very quick and professional. Ambience was nice. Ate on the deck and had the sun the entire meal. Very nice. Price point is very high even though the food is lovely. Coronado summer prices are exorbitant. Plan on $75 per person with appetizer, dinner and water.

One of our clients planned a dinner here on a recent trip to San Diego. I love seafood so was really excited to check it out. There was a decent size group of us, 10 people I think, but there were plenty of spaces for large groups spread out around the restaurant. Our server was friendly and attentive and made suggestions on what we should order to share versus what wasn't enough. We got a little bit of everything and did a family style meal so we all got to try different things. Everything tasted delicious and fresh! We all left full and happy.
