Blue Water Seafood and Crab
Blue Water Seafood & Crab is an East Coast style crab house serving Crab, Fresh Oysters, and other Seafood Specialties. If you have friends or family that don't like seafood, then there are some menu items for those Land Lovers as well. We have appetizers like Crab Cake Bites, Seared Ahi Tuna, Steamed Mussels, and Roasted Oysters that are just the right size for a snack. We also serve a variety of soups and salads. Try our Manhattan Chowder, Lobster Bisque, Kickin' Crab Soup, or Louie Salads. Kids even have their own special items from which to choose.

"We went here based on reviews from another site and expected the food and service to match the price tag. We were disappointed in both. We ordered Tempura and Soup to have before dinner. Later we get our dinner including the tempura and no soup. Then we are eating the crab, and the most expensive, rock crab, was reheated. My fiance could tell because it was so dry. And the cheapest, the dungeness crab, was very good and lots of meat. The blue crab was tasty but pretty small. And the final check was very expensive for what we received. I won't be recommending Blue Water to any of my friends."

"Very expensive menu for a strip mall restaurant. Calamari appetizer was over cooked and the cioppino was too heavy on the tomato sauce and came with a huge bowl of pasta. Needed more seafood and no pasta."

"The food at Blue Water is really good. Crab cakes are done well, lots of flavor with a little bite. The salmon is excellent, especially the cedar plank. Steamed shrimp are quite tasty in the garlic sauce; salads are excellent - and the portions are very generous. We had a few glitches in the service, with a couple of orders having to be sent back because they were incorrect - however, one of the partners comped our dessert, which I thought was a very nice gesture. I would definitely recommend Blue Water and we will be going back again. The servers are young, and we could tell they were in training; however, even when an error was made, they were very attentive and apologetic. Give them a chance, we'll be back!"

"They are trying. It is a very casual neighborhood restaurant. If I lived nearby I would go back. But we were just not impressed and will probably not go back."

"The Blue Water defines neighborhood gem for me. Great place to enjoy some fresh seafood or a burger with some friends. The place is very friendly, clean, and new. Sports on a handfull of TVs. Plenty of beer and wine. I stopped for burger after going for a Sunday bike ride. Burger was juicy and garlic fries were just right. Definetly a great place to drop in for food and fun."
