The Second Tuesday Tastings have been a beloved Bluewater tradition for nearly 25 years. These events not only introduce new customers to the restaurant’s signature dishes but also remind returning guests of why they keep coming back. Each chef-prepared meal showcases the culinary expertise and dedication to fresh, sustainable seafood that Bluewater Grill is known for.
Bluewater Grill first opened its doors in Newport Beach’s Cannery Village over two decades ago and has since expanded to eight locations across California and Arizona. The restaurant’s menu is flexible, offering not just seafood but also options for those who prefer turf over surf, including Angus cheeseburgers, chicken dishes, and New York Strip steaks.
On top of the tastings and regular offerings, Bluewater Grill features special deals on food and beverage holidays throughout the year. Customers looking to partake in these promotions will not need reservations to enjoy these celebratory offerings.
