    Last night I took my father and son and his family to the BWG for dinner. It was horrible. We had 6:30 reservations in the jazz room. We were seated on time,the waitress came over and asked about drinks etc. When it came time to order we ordered abut 7 and our dinner did not come till 8p that was un heard of. We had to sent back the lobster dishes and the Sea Bass was like it had just come out of the refridgerator, we had to send everything back. THe Soft shell crabs tasted like they were soaked in vinegar. The Paella the rice was hard, and we were never given a plate, so my father put it on his bread plate. I have NEVER had an experience like that. When I arrived home I went straight to the bathroom.
    The Jazz duo sound like they had just come from union Sq park, they received no applause from anyone in the crowd. Blue Water Grill you gave me the BLUES, I will stick to Atlantic Grill from now on!

    Seafood Fix: Next time I am in NY and need a seafood fix, I will return to the Blue Water Grill! We sat on their veranda, people watched, and sipped sake. What a great experience!
