   Server was inattentive. Cocktails were watered down (Santa Barbara Gin & Tonic was anything but a G&T). My niece ordered an Arnold Palmer that smelled of mildew and tasted of dirty dishwater. Ordered a sprite and same thing. I expected so much more from the food. Ordered the salmon which was doused in oil and served on a mountain of oily potatoes and vegetables.

   I had a reservation made at 12 and informed they didn’t open til 12. I waited along with 2 other groups. We waited in patio area while 2 men walked in waited inside. As crowd became larger, a line was formed. Hostesses seemed so lost and confused. They sat the two men that walked in prior to attending the line they requested and many patrons seemed upset. Even though I had a reservation they requested I wait ten minutes at the bar. Since they sat the 2 men and another group upstairs and the waiter had to figure it out. So I waited at bar, where they were pushing other patrons when I noticed they were taking others upstairs. After hostess realized it, they called me upstairs at 12:20. Waiter didn’t take order right (ordered 2 taco meals with different seafood and received only one) and food took a while to come out. They tried to bring second order, but had informed 3 waitresses it was no longer needed. However, food was good. It’s a nice place, great view upstairs. I will say the bartender made a great drink. But the hostesses along with waiter seemed so confused and lost. Or maybe apathetic to their job. Communication is definitely not there. The recent reviews regarding customer service is were correct. Also the receipt gives you NCR QR code to pay online but it didn’t match the receipt- difference of $18 and it wasn’t the tip

   You would have to look far and wide to find worse service. Server gave us water, did not take a drink order, or otherwise acknowledge us. After 15 minutes we just moved to the bar to eat. Had to flag down a busboy to take our plates after dinner. No one asked about dessert. The too young manager offered us a cup of soup for the bad server experience. No thanks. Hire a competent staff instead. Avoid this place.

   Food was excellent, portion size just right. However, margarita cocktail was poor - way too much lime juice. Mai-tai was decent.

    Great location, ambiance and crowd. Food was good not great. Service was ehh. Didn’t initially get enough silverware for table and the waiter waited too long and brought one very hot plate and the rest room temperature. Mussels were not good. Wouldn’t rush back, but still ok.

    Servers were friendly, but we didn't get the food that we ordered. The fish was the same, but the sides/sauce didn't match the menu. Service was poor, they didn't pick up the menu or our plates before we asked... Reasonable prices though and great affogato.

    From the start, this wasn't the best dining experience. We were early, so we had to wait for a table to become available. No sweat with waiting, but when we were taken to the table, it wasn't ready. The hostess who took us to the table had to clean it before seating us. When we were given our glasses of water, we requested another because one had something in it (food perhaps) on the inside and outside. We specifically asked for a new glass WITHOUT ice (will refer back to this later). The clam chowder was very good, but we sent the crabcakes back because they weren't hot. The second order was hot; crabcakes themselves were just ok (too much breading). After we finished the chowder and were almost done with the crabcakes, the server (Gabe) informed us that he forgot our entree orders and asked for them again (approximately 20 minutes after we placed the order). At some point while we were eating our meals, Gabe brought us a tall glass filled with ice ... that yet again had some small food particle on the outside. Meanwhile, we NEVER received a smaller replacement glass that had been requested at least 30 minutes earlier. Nice location -- great view of the ocean from our table -- but a downer of a dinner experience at the end of what was otherwise a great weekend.

    Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Two of us were being waited on both ordered appetizers partners appetizer came out mine did not. When mine came out it was not the right appetizer. My friend's dinner came out way ahead of mine. She finished her meal and my meal still had not come. Finally decided to just forget it and got the bill and frankly felt that my glass of wine should not have been charged or the wedge salad. Waiter was terrible with no follow-through on anything that was happening with my dinner. Finally got a manager who did remove my glass of wine and my dinner salad. Just an overall bad experience for a Friday night in Santa Barbara.

    They sat my family in their street side outdoor dining area. I asked for an outside table due to Covid and although I realize their nicer outdoor seating may have been booked, they haven’t taken care of their street side dining area. It was dirty and hadn’t been swept in some time. It just felt like a poor representation of what the rest of the restaurant is.

    Overall good restaurant. It's in a popular area, but still maintains a peaceful and relaxing environment. The appetizers were excellent, but our mains were just okay. My family ordered various fish plates and they generally lacked flavor/salt.

    The food was mediocre. I had the Adobado bass and it was terrible. Overcooked and mediocre taste. The green rice was cold and lacked any vibrancy (maybe it needed salt?). The floors were dirty and the table was so sticky, I had to use my napkin over it so I could set my arms on it—I felt disgusted but tried to push through because I was already there and figured if the food is good, I could tolerate this. The garlic fries are good, but that’s it. My companion ordered the chicken and was equally disappointed. We made the best of it by ordering more fries and that was our meal. So, if you want to have fries in a dingy place, go here.

    July 4th! Great Service, Greg was an amazing asset to our evening helping with food and drink choices. All of the people: from the hostess to the water server, were incredibly kind and personable! Food was great. Pretty much what one would expect on a Holiday evening Bar Menu! Experience... wonderful! Great celebratory vibe 💥💥💥

    Went for an 89th birthdays celebration and got seated outside in the park let. Noise and they could seem to remember there were 5 of us. Maybe because they sat us at a table for 4. Fairly chilly. for our 89 year old guest of honor as well. Very disappointing!!

    First time visiting Santa Barbara and we didn’t know where to eat with a good ocean view. We chose Bluewater Grill due to proximity and seating availability. We were seated on the second floor and in the outdoor patio. Faye was an exceptional waitress! Her fourth day waiting and she was phenomenal! Food and drinks were okay. The views were amazing.

    Booked this reservation 3 months in advance and made sure to book the outdoor rooftop. We were celebrating our honeymoon and looking forward to the view while dining. When we arrived we were told the rooftop was booked for a private party and we were escorted to picnic tables to the side of the restaurant with an obstructed view of the beach. Food was cold and generally not good. Waitress was kind, food was not her fault. Would have liked a heads up that the rooftop was unavailable so I could book elsewhere or made a decision whether or not to go ahead of time.

    Our first visit to the Santa Barbara grill was a year ago. Service was abysmally slow. Getting our server's attention was impossible. I finally asked the hostess to send the server over. What I wanted was some sugar for my iced tea. Of course, it should have been provided when the tea was put down in front of me but that didn't happen. We had similar problems with other trivial things like bread. I had to ask for bread twice. It seems that bread is not provided automatically - just the plates to put it on. And getting the check took almost 10 minutes from the time our table was cleared. I paid by credit card which also took 7 minutes to be returned to me for my signature. That was a year ago. This time it was a different server but the scenario was virtually identical. We will be looking for a different restaurant next year.

    I had a very nice dinner on a Saturday night. I was early for my reservation and they seated me right away. My order was taken right away. My food arrived after an acceptable waiting time. It was good. Several of the wait staff checked in with me to make sure I didn’t need anything. It was a very nice meal and I would recommend this place.

    One of my favorite restaurants. This visit proved to be even better than the last! The ambience is fantastic and the view of the ocean and harbor is fantastic, the food was so fresh and melt in your mouth goodness! The most outstanding thing about our visit this time was the service. Cassidy really did shine, she is very sweet, personable, knowledgeable and truly was a wonderful soul. It was a pleasure visiting with her and having her as our waitress for the evening.
