Bluewater Grill
The original Bluewater, on the bay in Cannery Village since 1996, with a guest dock right beside the patio.
630 Lido Park Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92663
Bluewater Grill started here in 1996, in the building that was once home to The Sea Shanty and Delaney’s. Three decades on, this is still the flagship, with a nautical dining room and a heated patio on the water.
Fish is the whole point. The menu runs to as many as 40 kinds of fresh, sustainable seafood, and the restaurant group runs its own swordfish harpoon boat, the Pilikia. If you went out fishing yourself, the kitchen will cook your catch.
It’s one of the harbor’s true dock-and-dine spots: boaters can tie up beside the patio and eat there or on board. It’s a short walk from Lido Marina Village, and dogs are welcome.
