    As always, the food is outstanding. We had the miso card, oysters, and splurged for dessert. It was super busy, which made it loud, but we enjoyed the food so much it didn’t matter.

    Food was great and service was outstanding. The restaurant has a quaintly feeling to it, not too small & not too big. Plenty of food selection. Had a table near the windows and watched people walk by and car drive by along Carlsbad Village Drive. Parking was right beside the restaurant.

    The clam chowder was delicious and portion sizes were big. We were seated in the bar which was pretty loud.

    Service was very slow. We had our appetizers finished for an hour, by the time they came to take our order we were ready to leave. So, we ordered deserts and closed the bill.

    Great evening! Kristin, our waitress, was sweet and knowledgeable. She provided great service. The food was delicious. I had the striped bass and it was great. Oyster shooter was yummy. I’m craving another. Thanks for a wonderful Valentine’s evening.

    Enjoyed our off-peak experience at Bluewater. Oysters were HUGE - I would bring friends back here for just the oysters. Waiter was very kind. Crab cakes were good too.

    Service very slow. Lobster over cooked. Scalloped potatoes were greasy. Drunken shrimp were great. Wine pairing was great
