Customer Testimonials

To Whom It May Concern:


My family and I celebrated my mother's birthday at your Tustin restaurant on Saturday, March 13, 2010, and we want to extend our gratitude to each of the employees who contributed to our fulfilling experience.  Most importantly, we fully appreciate the attentiveness, generosity, and humor of our server, Janice.  Her constant presence uplifted us and gave us joy, for her personable personality allowed her to understand our running jokes, and she even added her own, which integrated seamlessly.  It is an honor to be surrounded by considerate employees whenever one goes out, and the Bluewater Grill has such a topnotch group.  Thank you for an enjoyable time.

 

Peace and blessings,

 

 

I wanted to thank you and your staff again for a great new experience for my husband and I.  Today was my birthday and my husband wanted to take me out to a nice seafood restaurant.  The Bluewater Grill had amazing reviews and were on so many great dining lists that even though my husband doesn't typically eat seafood - he thought let's try something new.

It's been such a long time to have the kind of experience that we had in your restaurant - to us - it is not enough for a restaurant to have great food - it means the world to us how friendly everyone was - the hostess, Allison, yourself and of course our server Rodrigo... We loved him...he answered all our questions...offered great suggestions...my husband loved the swordfish...that would a first...  We were impressed by the GREAT ATTITUDES...we felt like everyone was happy to serve...We felt the food was AMAZING!

 

Also just the whole enviroment - kid friendly, lounge area by the restrooms, a buzz or energy in the air...I almost felt like I was at a friend's house...I totally look forward to dining at your establishment in the future.  THANKS AGAIN!

Jimmy, 

 

Had a great dinner at Newport last night.  Swordfish special was awesome.  Just bought a 17 Whaler, so we used the dock.  Nikki was our waitress and did a super job.  Really, everything was perfect, pats on the back all around.

PS – before I fell into this fishing gig – I spent 30 years in foodservice; restaurants, contract catering and airline.  I would tell you if it wasn’t up to par, because I think you would want to know.

Also, thank you for the Gift Certificates for the Masters.

"The new Bluewater Grill in Phoenix is absolutely outstanding – from its warm, inviting exterior (including its re-designed terrace), to its convivial indoor ambience, to its extraordinary menu and food preparation.   Gracious, individual attention is customary from the entire staff, including the manager and head chef. Absolutely no detail is missed, from special procedures to eliminate all fish odors, to the rice side-dish blended of five rice grains specially gotten from Minnesota and mixed with shaved nuts and dried cranberries in a chilled medley not to be found elsewhere except the other Bluewater Grills in California, to the premium quality of fish and crustaceans perfectly prepared. This is the very first time I’ve been personally motivated to write a review – because I can’t resist. The Bluewater Grill is one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in a very long time. Kudos to the new owners"

We were longtime customers of the Fish Market (and Victoria's Station before that). Last night we had dinner at the most recent incarnation - The Blue Water Grill. The service was as excellent as the food. The restaurant was familiar but better. Well done.

Exceedingly fresh fish, fair prices, and nimble service made this site a winner from the start.
