    I had shared before arriving that we were celebrating our 20th in the notes and had called weeks ahead of time requesting nothing special other than a nice seat with a view. Being at the 5 o'clock hour when it's actually scarce lots of open tables. My wife had to sit underneath the lower portion of the roof as I'm too tall. I get the view of the harbor she gets the view of the corner. Our table leaned along with needed leveling support because it rocked back& forth. It's not rocket science, fix it!! Service actually sub par never asked if my wife would like more coffee. Did ask how the food was. The food was excellent. The table next to us which featured a view for both of us was occupied by a single person working on their computer. Thankfully my original backup plan came through the night before where we were able to dine at Lelia's. At the end after being dessert & we declined. Our server can't back with a bowl of ice cream a lit candle a nicely wished us a happy 20th. They didn't have to do that it wasn't expected but we were $$ thankful. We'll return again like I said the food is awesome. But they seriously need to do some maintenance.

    First, the good news - they have the BEST New England Clam Chowder ever!!! I could eat a vat of that stuff! Finally a place that puts more clams in their chowder than potatoes! It was absolutely delicious! My step-daughter had the salmon and she loved it. Her husband enjoyed the short rib pappardelle and ate every bite. Now for the not-so-good news - after devouring my cup of clam chowder, I had the New England Lobster Roll. It was ok - a bit bland to be honest and the roll wasn't toasted even though the menu indicated it would be. Turned out it tasted a bit stale without being toasted. Not sure I'd order that again. My husband had the bouillabaisse and he was disappointed. It had zero spice to the broth and actually, the broth tasted "fishy" and not fresh. He wouldn't order that again either. For more good news - we sat outside and it was really a beautiful evening. Great place to enjoy dinner. Our server was very friendly - sorry I don't remember her name. We will definitely return to Bluewater Boathouse soon!
