Bluewater Grill

Showing homes to clients in Temecula today and they wanted some good fish to eat for a lunch. We all loved "Fish House Vera Cruz" in North County San Diego and we heard this was even better! We had clam chowder soup and iceberg wedge salad to start. They bring you fresh sourdough bread & butter and the soups where tasty. We had the Fish & Chips and the battered fish tacos. Everything was fresh and tasty. The Fish & Chips had a nice beer batter crust on the outside and the fish was moist on the inside. Seating was prefect inside and nice and cool. It was a hot day so this was the place to be!

Made from scratch kitchen that is phenomenal. We visited as a party of seven and were seated in the outdoor rear patio. The experience was phenomenal and definitely left a great first impression on us all. Three of our friends, this is their favorite and boy, are we glad they shared this gem. The table ordered multiple items from the menu. Everything ordered was spot on with superb flavor... Maryland Style Crabcakes, Ahi Tuna Poke, Smoked Albacore & Salmon, fresh made in house sourdough bread with butter. Tip on the butter for the bread: all they bring you melted butter...small difference but huge exchange on the flavor! The winner at the table was the mixed, half and half New England Clam Chowder with Manhattan Clam Chowder. The descriptions read: sea clams, cream , celery, and potato for the first. Zesty tomato base with clams, potato, onion, and fresh herbs. "Locals tip: Can't decide? Try half and half!" Hands down: new favorite soup! For a fish and seafood restaurant, this place is a treat. Located in Temecula. The atmosphere and ambience was fun and light, service was great and timely. This is definitely a place to visit and make return trips to!

We chose Bluewater because of local reviews and the Pacific Ocean 50 miles away. The Ahi Tuna ($29) was perfectly seared. Crab cakes appetizer ($17) was authentic and meaty. Unfortunately the featured Blackened Swordfish was suddenly unavailable at 5:30, “it just ran out 3 minutes ago.” The substituted Striped Bass Special $28 was a tasty substitute – even if not our choice. The “oceanfront" décor had a staged look but actually fit the casual mood. On a practical note, numerous local vineyards with visitor tasting rooms are within a few miles; so beverages here more optional.

First time here and my expectations were surpassed! Made reservations for 630pm (we were seated a little earlier) and we were done and out of the door by 710pm!!! The place was packed! Service was amazing and very fast! Kaine was our server, he explained the menu and made great recommendations and was very attentive to our needs. Food was awesome as well, I had the chipotle blackened swordfish and the wife had the lemon pepper mahi mahi. Both dishes were delicious. Would definitely recommend coming here for a date or with family.
