Bluewater Grill Santa Barbara
Enjoy a waterfront patio, full bar, happy hour, extensive local wine selection, and the best harbor v
We're ecstatic to be adding another location to our family of restaurants! Opening in the Santa Barbara waterfront in 2017, Bluewater Grill will offer locally caught sustainable seafood, spectacular ocean views and an upscale coastal-casual vibe. This former site of Castagnola Lobster House will be the ninth Bluewater and first on California’s Central Coast.
It's National Mai Tai Day!
Celebrate with us and enjoy $10 Mai Tais all day long🍹
We’re not saying you "need" a new rum and a souvenir cup, but our new rum and souvenir cups REALLY want to be in your hands with a Mai Tai.
Don’t make them wait 😉
This is what food dreams are made of 🤤

Yo-ho-ho! It's National Rum Day!🌊
We're proud to introduce Catalina Rum Company, our exclusive new rum!
Crafted with rich molasses and bottled by the award-winning R6 Distillery, both our light and dark rums are a true taste of the Caribbean.
As a tribute to Catalina Island's rum-running history, the rum labels feature harbor scenes of boats and seaplanes used to smuggle rum off the island, inspired by vintage posters.
Cheers to new horizons!🍹
Now available for purchase at El Galleon on Catalina Island and all Bluewater Grill locations.

Our Story
With locations in Newport Beach, Santa Barbara, Coronado, Temecula, Carlsbad, Phoenix, Catalina Island & Redondo Beach, Bluewater Grill in Southern California is committed to serving the absolutely freshest sustainably caught or farm-harvested seafood, innovatively prepared, in a casual atmosphere.
Lunch and dinner menus printed regularly feature more than 40 varieties of fresh seafood and shellfish annually. Other highlights include a display kitchen with counter seating, kid’s menu, outdoor dining (dockside in Newport), full bar, weekday happy hours and a full wine list .
Bluewater Grill also hosts a series of monthly seafood tasting and wine-pairing events on the second Tuesday of every month. These popular celebrations give local seafood fans the chance to learn about the latest fish varieties, and meal-planning, preparation and serving techniques right from the experts.
We're also known for working directly with fisherman to serve the absolute-freshest seafood and shellfish certified for sustainability by the Aquarium of the Pacific, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Marine Stewardship Council. The restaurant is one of the only in Southern California to operate its own fishing vessel, The Pilikia, to increase its sustainable harvest of swordfish and other local delicacies. Because of these efforts, more than 90 percent of the seafood and shellfish on the menu is sustainably caught or farmed – among the highest of any seafood restaurant in California.
