The food was on point- a little overpriced. This was a nonissue as the oysters were labeled where they came from and differed in variety and size - a very cool experience for those who don’t eat these on the regular. The oyster shots are 5$ and highly recommend this experience as well. To add to this review- the staff were amazing. Thank you for your consideration in such a busy atmosphere!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal last night after a day of exploring the Outer Banks. It was a welcome escape from the fried seafood and bar food throughout the area. Our hostess, Erin, and Shannon, our server, were very knowledgeable and made great recommendations which added to our enjoyment. My husband loved his local oysters and as luck would have it, one of the St James oysters came with a crab inside. And, apparently it's good luck to eat them. My husband excitedly accepted this challenge and said it popped in his mouth and just disappeared. Photo attached. 😉 He also loved his peppered tuna sashimi and my scallops and grits special was just incredible! If you are looking for an elevated meal with great service, this is your spot!

Our party came in for dinner. As we had reservations we were promptly seated. Our service was timely and friendly. The food was fantastic! Everyone one loved their dishes. The Sea Bass was top shelf as was the Fried Shrimp and Seafood Pasta. To top it off, they brought out a birthday dessert for my wife. The next time I'm in the area, Blue Water is on my list to hit again.

I'd call it, just okay for the price. Great and attentive staff, but the food was a bit lack luster. Nothing fancy small salmon with a lot of extra side to try and make up, oysters weren't a standout like most people say, crab cakes were decent, and I had to ask for extra sauce for the fish tacos since they were very dry. Overall a bit disappointed.
