What time is happy hour ?

3-6 and their prices are really good for it

DO YOU HAVE SALT WATER FISH LIKE ROCK COD ?

They have always specialized in fresh Pacific caught seafood from day one as did the two previous owners of LIDO ISLE location. Believe they have served rock fish in the past. As they attempt to have the freshest seafood possible, their menu constantly changes. Best call ask for the manager on duty. Good luck

are you open Christmas Eve?

Yes

Do. You have a seniors menu ?

Not sure but there happy hour is senior friendly.....

When does the lunch special's end?

Either 3 or 4

Are you open Christmas day

No we are not. So sorry we only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas day

Do you have a private meeting room?

They do not

Do you sell Fish Roe

Have not seen it

Does your restaurant accept the synergy gift cards Costco is selling?

Is it a Visa or master?

Excellent service. We usually have an early dinner and enjoy setting in a booth in the bar for a close up view of the boats and sunset. Oysters Rockfeller, sand dabs excellent.

I love stopping by the Bluewater for casual lunches or dinners with friends and family. Last time I visited, I ordered an "off menu" BLT and it was out-of-this-world! The service varies but typically the servers are prompt and friendly. I love sitting on the the patio but I've never had a bad seat inside, either. It's family friendly, has a good surf-and-turf menu and the harbor view is nice.

Such a pretty restaurant with an amazing view of the Redondo Beach Marina! The restaurant decor is really nice and the restrooms are spotless too! Our server was so nice and patient when taking our order. The bread & butter were excellent and so were our meals! We love going to the Bluewater Grill! ♥️

This place is my first choice restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I feel like having a special supper, this is the place that comes straightaway to my mind. Great and all sorts of food and a large list of dishes.great staff, and agreeable ambience. In addition to that, the price is good. I suggest this restaurant with no hesitation.

Had a Celebration of Life party for my Mom and Dad that was just great! The food, the room and the view really were super. We live out of state but their event coordinator Vida advised through the process and it couldn't have been easier. The staff was awesome. Everyone had a great time!

Our waiter, George, was a lot of fun. He walked us through the menu because we’d never been here before. He also gave us a small sundae at the end of our meal to help celebrate our honeymoon. It was really sweet. The seafood was fresh and delicious. Great atmosphere.

Great food and location. Service was relatively fast for how busy it was. It doesn’t give five starts because they completely forgot to bring us waters, we had to ask multiple times and finally one of the busters brought them to us because our waiter kept forgetting.

The three of us, our little family, finally decided to try this long established place and it was quite a bit better than expected. We ordered off the lunch menu. The calamari appetizer was delicious. We had sea food plates, which include two side dishes, rather than ordering the less expensive sandwiches and similar lunch fare. The snapper, ahi and shrimp/scallops were all excellent, can’t miss with any of them. Everything was fresh, very well prepared and nicely presented. The bread was wonderful. The service was great, the harbor view enchanting. They serve up pretty decent cocktails, too. It’s not a cheap restaurant but neither is it excessively pricey. All bases were covered, we left full and smiling. This is not really a destination restaurant that you might travel considerable distance for but it’s not supposed to be. It’s just a really good small chain, local landmark type place that more than satisfies.

Terrible service and food was just okay. Gave us dirty ice twice. Server was very sarcastic and rolled his eyes at my request to return an unappetizing dish. He did not treat us equally as the white patrons. We watched as other tables were getting better service and complementary bread without asking. When asked why we didn't receive any, he told us it's upon request. This place is not worth the price. However, the only slightly redeeming quality is it is off the water. Still not worth a visit. I was tempted not to leave a tip but I did. However, it was not generous.

Notably a classic place, maybe even known as historic, would best be described as prehistoric after my terrible experience there today. Word of advice, don't ever go here on Sunday's. The manager let me know, "We usually run out of Alaskan crab legs on Sunday, it just happens". Huge let down being that I drove 2 hours for them at this place. The alternative was lobster tails that were more like rubber tails. This place has great ambience, great bar area, terrible menu, the valet speeds your car to hell, the restaurant I once knew seems to have drowned in its own Blue Water.

I This is Danny with Fine Designs by Danny recently I had the pleasure in setting up a beautiful wedding at this location with the staff of boulevard florist wholesale market. In setting this event up all of the managers and staff and event planner from Bluewater grill were very hands on. The upstairs reception area is a very nice size to accompany a large event. The atmosphere and scenery is spectacular. This is a must see go to place. The food looked impeccable. Thank you Bluewater grill.

This is a good place near the water with plenty of parking. If you're the yacht-type this place is located right next to the harbor. The service and the bar are both great. There's a giant room on the second floor with another small bar for very large parties. I can't say that the menu is unique or exceptional. Things are good, but standard.

The service was really slow. We ordered a set of a fish taco and clam chowder. The taco was cold (the easiest-prepared food in the world can’t be cold). The clam chowder was good. Also, we ordered a lobster roll, which was good too.The place is located just in the harbor of Redondo Beach. It is an amazing spot; but the service is not really good. Experience vs price does not match at all. I wouldn’t recommend it.They have valet parking.

What a wonderful setting.The food is simply amazing. The cioppino was on. It is load with fresh crab scallops white fish mussels and clams, the broth is so good, it is a good thing they serve fresh hot bread that is just amazing.The staff is even better than the food. They are not over bearing but the water glass is never empty the dishes are cleared so you can enjoy your evening.This is a wonderful place for a night out. They also have a wonderful room if you need to hold a private event.

Our server Janice was absolutely wonderful! She gave great recommendations and we loved hearing about how much she liked everything and the diner was absolutely to die for! It was wonderful as we ended the night with desert and she was formal and we talked about her son and how she was going fishing with him. It was a pleasure to meet Janice and she broke the ice perfectly!

Amazing San Francisco Cioppino was huge it's awesome! My Mom had the monster lobster.Great service it was really busy and usually that takes awhile to get service , but our waiter was right there when we needed him. The only thing we had some difficulty seeing the menu our table lighting was a little dark but that's part of the atmosphere. We just happened to get a really dark lit table. Cell phone light was needed. Great view of the harbor and boats. So full I could not get to desert looking forward to it next time

Such a great experience! I am celiac so eating out is a nightmare, especially when I'm with a group of people. Bluewater grill had a special menu with gluten free items. The food was delicious. The service was over the top and amazing. A great experience and I well certainly visit again if we ever go back to Redondo Beach.

Outstanding food. We started with the grilled octopus (I am allergic to garlic so my husband ordered this dish. They boiled it with spices which include garlic and then grill it). I ordered the prongs and they put the sauce on the side. For the main meal, my husband ordered the grilled snapper. It was light and tasted emazing.

This restaurant is in a perfect location in Redondo beach with a magnificent view of the marina! The food, especially the Maryland crabcake, was delicious!! I would rate them 4.5 stars (as opposed to 5) for 2 reason; 1) Although we waited 25-30 minutes for dinner, none of the food (except the clam chowder) was very hot. Both the crab cake & the scallop& goat cheese grits dishes would be BEYOND PERFECT if they were hot!! 2) "Thanks-We're- so- happy-to -have-you" type service is the only service that I would consider perfect. We were greeted by 2 women who were pleasant but gave me that "you're here, so we'll just wait on you" feeling. However,our waiter was better. He was just an all around phenomenal waiter! He was very knowledgeable about the menu items, patient & very welcoming! The restaurant itself is beautiful!! It was dimly lit, but was a little noisy & had a very cheery after-work gathering vibe. This is a restaurant that I actually look forward to returning to!!!
