    We were seated right away, which was great! Then we waited about 15 mins for anybody to stop at our table. Then the busser dropped off bread. Then another 10 mins later the server dropped off water and said he would be back to take our order. He took another tables order who arrived after us. So, about 35 mins into our visit. Our order was taken. A lady came by at some point, with full hands and asked “ how are we doing” then answered herself “ good.” Food arrived by another person. It was ok- I was expecting better scallops honestly since my meal was $40. They were the small scallops. I don’t think they were fresh. So service, food was just ok. It’s been a couple years since we have been to Bluewater and honestly it will probably be a couple more before we return.

    It was a lovely lunch, and good friends were gathering to catch up. We had the most delightful waitress, Ada, who was very kind and attentive. And the food was superb.
