Hubby and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last night. It was our first at Blue Water and won't be the last. Jessa was on point with presenting the special of the day, and it didn't disappoint. The mocktails I had were so refreshing! Definitely add them to the gift card list, so others experience Blue Water.

We visited on a Friday night, and it wasn't too busy, which was a nice change of pace. The last time we came was on a Tuesday, and the place was packed, no surprise, since they offer half-price wine bottles every Tuesday. I was hoping to order the duck confit I enjoyed before, but it’s no longer on the menu. Instead, we started with the tuna tataki appetizer again, which was just as good and consistent as last time. My wife chose the seafood risotto, which was still delicious and reliable. I opted for the Land and Sea dish, featuring steak, scallops, and lobster, and it was fantastic. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Jeffrey Adams is quickly becoming a favorite restaurant for us. The prices are reasonable, and the quality of the food is always excellent. We will definitely be back, especially on a Tuesday for the half-price wine!

I’ve been wanting to check this place out for awhile and it did not disappoint. Enjoyed a nice evening out with my girlfriends. We did go on a Tuesday so their chef was not there for a main dish selection. Something to consider for a date night out that you may want a full course meal. Otherwise, the flatbreads and appetizers we ordered were delicious. And there was a record player that we could select and play albums on. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

This month we celebrated our anniversary and my bday one more time . I had the tavern chicken and hubby had the teriyaki chicken, both were fantastic and plentiful! I also had 2 chocolate martinis, fabulous!! Since it was my birthday we also received a complimentary dessert which was also delicious! Great food, great experience and just loved our waiter Eli!
