Everything was great except my photo. They cooked up a whole redfish fillet. I wanted it on the shell, but they skinned it. Touche'. Food was plain, but perfect for the fish. Drinks were served by the waiter. I will return.I felt like I was the King. Maybe not the way I always want it, but it was fun.

I have been here before for dinner it was great. Had some work getting done on my vehicle on this cold dreary February day, so I wandered up here for a quick bite. Settled on the seafood gumbo, and it did not disappoint, came out piping hot and fresh. No skimping here and it warmed and filled me up. Service was great also. Keep it up guys! You knocked it out of the park today.

Clean and tidy place hidden in a small strip mall off the beaten path. Just recently started opening for lunch. Very helpful staff, full bar. Generous portions. We went at lunch but you can also order off the dinner menu. They will cook your own catch as well, and they have creative daily specials. I like that the kitchen is flexible. You can swap out rice for pasta, order fried shrimp separately by the piece to add to your app or entree, etc. The oysters on the half shell were very fresh and much appreciated by the oyster eaters at the table (ie not me lol). Lots of "oh this good" type yummy noises coming from them.I recommend the aguachile appetizer. Very fresh, great flavors, big chunks of octopus and avocado and cucumber with a complex green sauce, accompanied by chips. The panko fried shrimp was everything you could hope for in big crispy fresh gulf butterflied shrimp. The potato crab bisque is surprisingly light and worth ordering.One of us ordered a special with blackened snapper and pesto lump crab on top. Oh my. Order it if it's available. I ordered pecan crusted snapper with a money lemon buerre blanc. Just wish I had more sauce to bathe my angel hair pasta. Food for the gods. The etouffe flounder was a perfectly prepared fish and a gently spiced sauce. Highly recommended.I don't know the back of house staff here but from the execution to the menu choices, I have to believe this chef has considerable experience in a variety of fine dining restaurants. New Orleans? Houston? San Antonio? I love that they offer sublime Mexican seafood classics (cevichealong with a curry (who did Chef get that recipe from?) to southern and creole icons.

Tried a different seafood restaurant with my family this evening. The Blue Cove has a cozy and relaxed vibe to it. It is great for parties of all sizes. Depending on how busy it is you may seat yourself or wait to be seated. The staff is great! They are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.My party was served by Jeremiah. He was knowledgeable about the drink and dinner menus. I went with a his drink and food recommendations. I started off with a margarita on the rocks. For dinner I had a salad to start and then I devoured the local stuffed drum with rice and veggies that he recommended. The crab mixture the drum was stuffed with was okay but the drum was seasoned and cooked to perfection! The veggies were a carrot, squash and zucchini medley cooked with the right amount if garlic.For dessert we all shared a bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Chef's kiss! I highly recommend this establishment. I would rate this in my top three restaurants to patron in CCTX for seafood!

This restaurant stays open till 10pm, which is convenient. The waitress was very friendly and prompt. Ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer. It came with 4 shrimp and was delicious. Then I shared the pecan crusted snapper with a friend. They split the plate for us ahead of time so we wouldn't have to do it ourselves, again very convenient. It was such a large portion that I'm happy we split it. The veggie medley was good, the rice pilaf was okay, nothing special. The potato crab bisque was "comforting". Not chunky, smooth with a little kick. We had absolutely no room for dessert. Definitely would recommend this place!

Public Service Message!There is nothing gourmet about a stick of butter in one meal. Ordered chicken Marsala. I asked what is the yellow liquid on my plate..."it's butter, maam." "Do you serve this much butter in all your dishes?" "Yes, maam, we do." To put this amount of fat (the sauce immediately separated into mostly butter) in the food you serve, at least label your menu that it has lots of butter (not mentioned at all). We all know butter makes everything taste better but using heavy amounts of butter as the foundation of almost everything you make is very unhealthy especially at the very high levels you use. Even the vegetables on the side had oil residue coating and the plate had a layer of grease as well. The plate pictured with the fork has about 1/4" of butter. Even ordering sauce on the side... everything is coated with fat first so your noodles, meat and veggies will already be highly fatty without the sauce. Try some healthier options please. Olive oil on the veggies and noodles? How about pasta with evoo and garlic? Great restaurant but this is a heart unhealthy place. I will try your veggie pasta next time...the only unfried non creamy item except spaghetti marinara. Olive oil is preferable to butter but fat swimming on a plate is entirely unattractive and unappealing. I have made Marsala sauce: for a family meal it uses 2/3 c cream and 3T butter. There was much more than this in my single serving. I truly hope you improve the health quality of what you are serving so those of us who care about our bodies and health can still dine there. Last request: love the avocado salad...could you please consider a lettuce other than iceberg? Thank you and best wishes for your continued success.

Best and freshest seafood I've had in a long time. Flavors on everything were excellent, even down to the rice pilaf. Only nit to pick is that the wait to be seated was about an hour. We called in the afternoon, and were told they weren't taking any more reservations, since it was Valentine's Day.

Came to The Blue Clove Seafood Bar & Grill for lunch and enjoyed the meal. We were seated right away. All the dishes ordered were generously proportioned. The waitress was exceptionally friendly and efficient. Overall the atmosphere, location, and experience was good. However; while we waited for our beverages I went to wash my hands and when I was in the restroom I noticed one of the toilets leaked water in a container when flushed. So for this issue; which I hope gets resolved soon, I rated the place a 4 star. Enjoy! :)
