Reviews Blue Water Bay Restaurant

This place was great. It's in the little town of Melrose. On State road 26. The decor was really nice. Though the bench seats could be replaced. My friend was a little talkative to say the least but the waitress was patient with her and gave her everything she asked for. Even the management helped with her. The food was absolutely delicious and you got your money's worth. The seafood was so yummy! My friend got fried Green tomatoes and I got calamari for appetizers. She absolutely loved the green tomatoes though I thought they were cut of just a little thick for my taste. The calamari was so good. My friend had had it before and didn't like it and she really liked this. Calamari it was almost a meal in itself. I have to say I didn't care for the dip that they had. It was supposed to be marinara sauce. Probably homemade. The waitress kept saying it was a little sweet. But I kind of got a Tang from it. Not sure if it was my taste buds or the marinara itself. We both ordered salads. She got a house salad and I got a seven-layer salad. Her house was average size. She absolutely loved the blue cheese that she got.Nice big chunks of blue cheese. I didn't try it but it look good. Now the seven layers salad was so big it wouldn't even fit on the plate it was sat on. The ranch dressing that went with it was delicious thick rich and oh so yummy. I didn't even try to eat all of it because it was so big and I really wanted my etouffee that I had ordered. The etouffee was delicious. Big chunks of seafood and other vegetables. I didn't know it came with peppers or I would have asked them to remove them. It was made to order. It came with rice that had vegetables in it. I had asked them to put it on the side because I just don't eat rice. My roommate is yet to try it. It actually look pretty good. The bowls are so big I can barely make a dent in mine. But it was so enjoyable. That would have been a meal for at least two people. My friend ordered the seafood platter which had shrimp scallops egg rolls fish hush puppies and it was supposed to come with fries but they let her get baked potato instead. Didn't know it was supposed to be for two people or looking at that platter four people. It was absolutely huge. She got coleslaw on the side as well as fried oysters. The coleslaw looked really good had fruit and it as well as cabbage. The oysters were fried perfectly. The only thing I really didn't like was the desserts. I'm decided to try it cuz it was cheesecake and that's my absolute favorite dessert. I got a peach and she got blueberry. Peach had a light peach glaze with a couple pieces of peach on it and the cheesecake itself tasted like pumpkin. It did not work for me at all. My friends blueberry was perfectly to her taste. And when I took a bite it tasted like blueberry all the way through. I did not get any sense of the cheesecake on either of them. We paid a pretty penny but for the most part it was absolutely worth it. From the art on the walls to most of the food itself. You did get your money's worth.

Great food and service. Long standing local spot. Food took a little while but great spot.

Food was excellent and portionsweregenerous! Nothing like fresh cooked food. Not your chain restaurant with packaged food and portions. Service was attentive and professional.

Diverse, delicious menu (ie: fried green tomatoes, lobster bisque, quesadillas, a Cuban). Casual, also has booths in bar. Hidden treat.
