Have ordered the Panko Fish & Chips and couple of times. These are quite good! It has been several years; however, do believe this restaurant has an all you can eat fish and chips one day each week. Tried eating with tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Personally, like the malt vinegar better.

BluWater is our own little 'Cheers' in the Leschi neighborhood, where everybody knows your name. My now-husband and I have been coming here for over 4 years since moving to the area, and it holds so many of our favorite memories. He even proposed to me on the dock outside! We've brought our family and best friends here because it's truly our favorite spot in Seattle. The location on the water is stunning, the food is delicious, and the drinks are top-notch, but what really makes BluWater stand out is the incredible staff. They've been here for years, and they make you feel like family every time. They always go above and beyond for us--and our dog! When we sit outside, they bring her water, check on her, and even treat her like their own. When she's not with us, they still ask how she's doing. We've been taking her here since she was a puppy over 3 years ago. We've never had a bad experience here--just a lot of love, fun, good times, and great food. My personal favorite dish is the Gorgonzola Pear Ravioli, and you MUST try the blackberry drop, one of the best cocktails I've ever had! Long live Bluwater.

PROS: great ambiance offering an awesome "eat on the water" experience, good friendly service, the food was good too: burger overall was great, the patty was seasoned perfectly, good fries, spinach and potatoes - tasty. Salmon was good, too, but could have been a little more flavorful. Strawberry lemonade... perfect! CONS: restaurant (structure & furnishings) needs a little updating

I might be a little generous with the four stars. It looks nice on the inside right by the water. The food though was highly disappointing for the price not that big of a menu prices are typical Seattle prices $20-$40 range. My partner had the salmon Street tacos and was extremely disappointed, I've come here with other people and they've also had the street tacos and did not like them at all I had the halibut pesto pasta. It was all right, but I feel like every dish year is lacking flavor. The appetizer bread they bring out with oil is probably the best thing they have. I will say I had the wine slushy and it was delicious. The service here is fairly average. Any waiter I've had is nice.

Went to BluWater Bistro for the first time. Came up as highly rated for the Leschi neighborhood. Has lakeside location and delicious menu offerings. The fish and chips, Blu Prime rib dip, and the added treat of complimentary banana bread all contribute to a delightful dining experience. What could be better than enjoying it all while gazing out over Lake Washington and off into mountains?

Came on a sunny Saturday for brunch with a party of 5, surprisingly the restaurant had no wait and was not busy but we were seated inside and the patio looked more packed. Blended mango margaritas to start and they did not disappoint, our waitress was pleasant and attentive. One thing we decided to change ourselves was the amount of room given at our table, they pushed two small square tables together to seat 5 people which became tight very quickly, so once the party of four next to us left we pushed their table to ours for an L shaped situation that gave us more room. Initially there was nothing brought out to us aside from water and our drinks so we ordered a plate of fries for the table which were both crispy, also noticed the party of 4 next to us requested additional fries that were not "flimsy". The waitress then brought us slices of banana bread for the table and allowed us more time to decide our orders. I got the Bistro Eggs and it was pretty mid - I remember coming last summer and the potatoes were seasoned well and had Parmesan but not today. The bacon varied from plate to plate, but again we didn't send anything back. Overall I would say if you want a nice water view on leschi and don't mind the food being mediocre then this is the place - I would also say price point matched the area.
