Newport Beach

Come in and get hooked on the best in fresh, sustainable seafood in Newport Beach as voted by Brad Johnson, Restaurant Critic at the Orange County Register. Enjoy a waterfront patio, full bar, happy hour, private event rooms and a pet friendly space. We are located on Lido Peninsula, on the bay in Newport Beach, at the historic former site of The Sea Shanty & Delaney’s. Our iconic original location is outfitted in a classic nautical style and if you’re lucky, you may even see the Bluewater kitchen staff hauling in a harpooned Swordfish from our very own boat, "Pilikia". Since we're on the water, you can always pull up to our dock for an outstanding meal.

Thank you for your continued support!
