I was here last Sunday with my girlfriend!!! We had an enjoyable time listening to the live music. We each had 2 glasses of wine and their wonderful crab dip. This place can get quite crowded so you know they are doing it right. Plenty of parking, plenty of room when you consider all the inside space and inside bar... More

Relax alongside the intercoastal and watch the boats and paddleboarders while enjoying your meal. Perfect! We live in Wilmington and have dined here several times since discovering it (late). So often, restaurants with the best views are overpriced or don't seem to offer great food. Bluewater combines an interesting, relaxing view with very, very good food; and they won't break... More

We ended up here because we didn't realize the place we were heading to, the Stone Crab Oyster Bar, went out of business. It was mildly busy, but not so much that it could explain the uneven service. We sat at our table to quite a while before someone came by. The server was pleasant, but I had a hard... More

Great food. Friendly staff. The only thing that could have been better is that the weather was warmer and we could have eaten outside.

Went here with work folk and got a fabulous table with a view. Good service, good cocktails and the food was pretty good. I truly enjoyed my experience and would have given them a five star, but I ordered the special beef tenderloin and scallops which sounded amazing but apparently they only served it medium and above. My only suggestion,... More

The wait was long but it was Sat. night. Once seated service was good and the food portion was large and worth the price! Drinks were good and the food was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I had seafood lasagna definite would do it all over again.

My wife and I treated ourselves to an impromptu date on a Monday evening. The weather was just right for watching the sun set at Wrightsville Beach, NC. We went to Bluewater because of the variety of table locations both inside and outside. We ate outside so that we could watch the boats travel past on the waterway. The food... More

We spent a cool, but sunny week-end at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, with family, including four grandchildren; and were in the mood for a good seafood dinner. Well, this wasn't it. Granted, our reservation for 10 was honored, and we were seated promptly. Our waitress was young and polite. The food was slow in coming, allowing the children to fill... More
