Blue Water Grill

Editorial Review

Seafood scene from franchise master Steve Hanson. Constantly packed and boisterous. Insides as expansive and strangely partitioned as only a converted bank building can be. Outdoor tables worth the wait. Perfect for cruising your gf's mother at the bar. Order one of over 20 oyster concoctions. Get your organic salmon three ways—sashimi, crispy skin, or grilled. Lesser-known jazz room down below. Locals, tourists, NYU freshman with daddy's plastic, all serious eaters.
