The food, service, friendliness and ambiance all provided a great dining experience for me at the Blue Water Restaurant. It's a great location, right in the midst of where I run all my errands and shopping along Eastern between St. Rose and Silverado Ranch. I've seen this location change several times and I hope Blue Water succeeds well here.
I was greeted immediately at the door and escorted to the bar where I met the friendliest owner and his bartender, Tory and Javier (sorry if I misspelled names). I've been here before when the restaurant was something else and it was just okay as I recall. Tonight was just a different, better, vibe and food was marvelous. I ordered 3 tapas: Tuna Sashimi, Jerk Shrimp-anadas, and Fabulous Boneless Mango BBQ Ribs. The only reason why I didn't give this review 5 stars was because I have yet to try a full meal but will definitely be back to do that next.
Tuna Sashimi had a nice seared flavor and wasn't overpowered by its accompaniments. Jerk Shrimp-anadas wasn't spiced high like you'd think a jerk spice might be, but was just right for most people I'd think. I like spicy foods so it could have been turned up a notch for me. The Boneless BBQ Ribs were caramelized with slightly crispy edges as I like my ribs to have, and moist inside. Nice idea, to not have to get messy and all hands-in with bones. Hats off to the chef!
I hope more patrons give this place a chance and support a newly opened business run by locals. I hear their website is going up soon and they're already wise on marketing with social media. Good luck guys!
