Bluewater Seafood is a small local chain and has been in the neighborhood for many years. I had never been and wanted to try it, so we went with some friends for a Father's Day dinner. The place was crowded
but we had the option to sit outside, which we did and were glad of
it--somewhat less noisy, even with the rain on the roof, and the
restaurant actually seemed pretty cold inside.
It was kind of an
up and down meal. The best item I had was the boudin balls--they had a
nice crisp batter and flavorful (not too spicy) filling. Would
definitely get more of those. We also had onion rings and fried pickles
for appetizers, and they were very good--very little added salt on the
pickles so the pickle flavor came through.
On the low end, my
blackened mahi-mahi was not too good--a bland, kind of off sauce on
somewhat rubbery fish. Didn't finish it. Many others in our party had
entrees they were happy with--the catfish had a crispy, salty breading,
the shrimp were fresh and ate well, and our one non-seafood eater was
happy with her burger, even though it's a prefab patty. For sides, the
green beans were very tasty and well-cooked, perhaps just a little oily
but yummy. Cole slaw was not much--barely any flavor other than
cabbage.
We had a banana pudding and a sundae for dessert. The
pudding was quite good, it is very apparently homemade and has great
banana flavor--no hint of artificial flavor. The sundae was a big hit,
brownie on top and on the bottom.
Service was very good, we had a
friendly and relaxed waiter who made many trips to our table. The
bathroom was not too clean, but not bad for a very busy evening.
Overall it was fine, but there are better seafood places if you go
farther afield.
