Bluewater Grill
Bluewater Grill Review
On the site of an old sportfishing dock, this popular spot offers seafood from around the globe—from Mississippi catfish to barramundi from Australia. There's a tranquil bay view from either the dining room, which is adorned with early-1900s fishing photos, or the waterfront patio. Favorites include blue-nose sea bass, local Pacific red snapper, and calamari steak for those who miss the abalone that used to be common in the area. There's an emphasis on freshness—the menu changes daily—and wines are reasonably priced.
