About

The Bluewater is a popular tavern with a great location overlooking the marina. Many diners enjoy the atmosphere, views, and the variety of food and drinks. However, there are consistent reports of poor service, long wait times, and inconsistent food quality. It is a great spot for a casual drink or meal, but service can be a major letdown for some.
