The lighting is so dim, you could see everyone using their phone flashlights just to see the menu. Of course, drinks are way overpriced, so we opted out of cocktails. It took our server 10-15 minutes to get back to us to take our order. (In the meantime, another couple got up and left before they ordered since their server was awol also). For a seafood place, the menu choices are very limited, especially when one of them is $122 lobster. My shrimp Alfredo was absolutely inedible. The shrimp was OK, but the sauce on the pasta was so heavy and thick, it was like eating gummy soup. I couldn’t even make out the individual strings of pasta because of the gummy sauce. So I just ate the shrimp and left the pasta. Very expensive 4-shrimp dinner (no sides included, not even a roll). Hubby’s steak and potato was fine. Funny, at a seafood place, he definitely got the better dinner. Overall, too dark, too slow, too expensive, and hit-or-miss on a good meal.

Enjoyable dining experience. Good food, great atmosphere and nice and quiet. Love dining in peace. Ordered Fish and Chips which was very good. Surprisingly large potion. My wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which she described as delicious. Deserts were fantastic as well. Homemade Raspberry Sorbet that I almost couldn't finish since the serving was so large. Powered through it though since it was exquisite. Key lime pie was also scrumptious. Oops...almost forgot to mention our waitress Alexus. Super nice, efficient and fun to talk with. We were on a cross country road trip heading back home when we stopped here. One of the top ten restaurants in our trip. Not cheap, but worth it.

We normally have a great experience but this time with two people who joined for the first time (party of three) I was underwhelmed. The surf and turf lobstertail was unseasoned and the steak was inferior and overcooked. I don't normally order a sirloin so maybe that's the best it could be cooked. Service was a little slow with about 45 minutes to have our order taken and drink refills were slow. One guest enjoyed the bourbon salmon and really liked the butternut squash ravioli and I forget what the third ordered. It was an off night for our experience but I'll be back.

First visit. Beautiful restaurant. Nice decor. Friendly staff. Long time before anyone approached the table after being seated . We ordered two glasses of wine, a lobster tail, fish and chips , asparagus and soup. It took almost an hour for our food to arrive. Very slow. The portions were small with average taste. Underwhelming for sure. $112.00+tip. 🤔

This restaurant is the whole package. The service was top-notch (Thank you, Sadie). The food was really good, from accurate descriptions, picture-perfect presentation, and the taste one would expect from 100 years of experience. The atmosphere was black tie, but black tie not required. The desserts, drinks, and coffee are worth the visit.

We made a reservation, and we got there a little bit early, and we're still we're able to be sat right away, which was nice. We got seated in a corner, which wasn't bad, but the tables were so close together that people had to move for us to get back to our table. It just seemed kind of inappropriate. The waitress was nice and greeted us , took our drink and appetizer order. For appetizers, we got the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail. Both were presented well and tasted great. After that, the salads came and were fresh and tasted great. For dinner, my dad got the Monaco steak and a lobster tail. My brother got the grouper dinner, and I opted for the fish and chips. We received our food and maybe 7-10 minutes later my brother got his. The only meal that was hot was his grouper. My dad's meal and mine were both cold. My fish had gotten soggy from sitting on the french fries so long. The total wait time after salads was about 40 minutes. I'm not complaining, but for a $300.00 meal, it should have been spot on, in my opinion. I just expected much better food for what we paid. In our waitresses' defense, she was very busy. I would not go back, though.

We went to Bluewater Grille last night for our anniversary. We had a reservation, but even so didn't wait a moment to be seated. Our server, Caden, was absolutely delightful. He was efficient and extremely personable. His service was impeccable, and the food was nothing shy of amazing. In fact - this was the absolute best meal that I have had out anywhere in my lifetime and my husband made that exact comment as we were walking back to the car. The entire experience could not have been more perfect. My Delmonico steak was simply fabulous. With a sear to die for, it was cooked exactly as a mid-rare should be, beautifully plated, and with a flavor & texture that made you truly enjoy every bite. My husband had the scallops that looked equally as delicious, and the bread pudding we shared for dessert is still making us shake our heads. Beautiful presentation and a flavor that was just mind-numbing. Thank you Caden, and thank you Mancy's. You have again hit it out of the park (and across the parking lot and into the woods). This is far more than a restaurant. This is a fantastic experience. If you are looking for a magnificent dining experience and you don't stop in here you will just never know what you are missing, and that would be a shame.

This place is one the worst places in Toledo/Maumee. I have a first hand experience on how rude and racist this establishment is. They allow their managers to berate the employees and they also make sure that they intimidate their employees I have the management saying that they were going to record an employee, I have witness people vaping around the food and not practicing measures that are healthy for the environment. To be honest the food is trash don't go here
