I attended a birthday party that a friend was hosting at this restaurant. Blue Water is located right next to BJs on Eastern and Richmar. It could be difficult to spot in the dark as the parking lot is not lit and their sign is a hanging banner.
The restaurant is very nicely decorated and I did like the water projection effect on the walls. When we arrived and informed the hostess we were there for a birthday party, her response was "Oh I think they're on the patio". Oh excellent, since I know the layout of your dying restaurants SO well. She was not busy by any means. In fact, there was only one other group in the entire restaurant. We found our way to the patio and saw my friends there. The party was suppose to start at 8pm. The birthday girl informed me they had arrived there at 7:30 and were still waiting for their two drinks (it's was 7:55pm by this point). The same hostess popped in and even she looked bewildered that they had not received their drinks yet. She went out and brought it herself (slightly redeeming herself). Shortly after, our server stumbles out and informs us that it's ~*~crazy~*~ in there and says "so i guess I'll be your server". It is 8:30pm now and no one has even received water yet, forget about the drinks. Approximately 40 minutes later we get our drinks. This is also when they started bringing out the tapas platters that the birthday girl has pre ordered for everyone. They were beef taquitos with avocado, stuffed mushrooms, and pulled pork sliders. If I could sum up the food and be extremely nice about it, I would say it was forgettable. I tried one of the taquitos (I have had better from the frozen section of Costco), stuffed mushrooms were ok but the flavor just wasn't there, and the sliders were completely overpowered by the sauce. Drinks took on average 20 minutes to come out. Our party had ~12 people and the event was planned well in advance. There is NO excuse they shouldn't have been better staffed and better prepared.
Incompetence and below average food will deter me from patronizing this place again.
