Blue Water Grill

I wish I could give this place a complete 5/5. But sitting on the second floor at a corner table, we all left drenched in sweat because it was so hot. We asked about air conditioning and making it cooler, but things just seemed to get hotter as the evening went on. However, the food was absolutely fantastic. Like, completely on point. Some of the most well done dishes I've had in a while. My mother-in-law ordered the Watermelon Feta Salad. The way it was presented was beautiful - one large, full, circular slice of melon with all the other ingredients in top. She shared a wedge. I found the tomatoes to be the most flavorful tomatoes I've ever had in my entire life. Where did they get them?? My mom and I shared the Tempura Cauliflower. It was nice, but couldn't really compare to that salad. And the "tahini sauce" it came with didn't taste very much of tahini. However, my entree and dessert were back to being awesome. I know it's a seafood restaurant, but I opted for chicken. Again, this was some of the best and most flavorful roasted chicken I've ever had. I don't think it's unusual to find a place that's capable of juicy, tender chicken. But I feel like actually seasoning that chicken appropriately never happens. For dessert I tried the Tower - A thin layer of Brittle rolled into the shape of a towers, filled with vanilla ice cream and banana slices, sitting in a pool of marshmallow fluff and drizzled with chocolate sauce. The bananas were perfectly ripe and and the Brittle had this great chew to it (it didn't break my teeth!). And, of course, I loved the marshmallow and chocolate. This place had great service and I would love to return and enjoy more food! But next time I think I'll request a table on the first floor in hopes of not over heating.

This place seasonally changes their menu and the two times I've been there it has been awesome. Food presentation is pretty, good is fresh and prepared perfectly. You can't go wrong with this place. It's pricey but worth checking out.

Good food. Good atmosphere. Great service. Their bread and flat bread are so nice. Tried the beat and goat cheese it’s so so good. Nice spot at a great location.

I was invited for a dinner to this place and it was quiet an experience! The food that we had was the best tasting sushi and lamb chop in town! The servers needs more training tho! My friend and I felt like they rushed us to leave the table. It annoyed us😏. I was still working on my delicious desert and I was asked if I was finished 2 times by 2 different servers-one after the other. Staff needs to be more attentive to what’s going on. There was no reason for us to be rushed because there were so many empty tables.

Amazing! Beautiful ambiance, extremely friendly wait staff and just an all around great place to dine and the food was incredibly delicious. Great dining experience.

Amaaazing food, dessert and service! Location is very convenient in front of Union Square. Highly recommended! I'll be back to try everything!

The space is grand and the food and cocktails are excellent. The beet salad was particularly innovative and satisfying. There's a reason it has been around for 22 years in Manhattan.

Great brunch menu with a good selection of cocktails and wine. Love the Eggs Benedict!
