    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!

    Food was fabulous. For a Thursday early evening it was quite loud and the place was packed. I think there were several large celebrations going on. Didn't mind it as service was great and we could still hear each other speak. We were fortunate to find parking but I think for some it was a nightmare.
