Profile

Stephen Hanson's downtown precursor to Atlantic Grill (Upper East Side) and Ocean Grill (Upper West Side) is far more of a scene than either of its siblings. In a converted bank on Union Square, this space, formerly a restaurant called Metroplis, 315 seats strong, still offers jazz downstairs. In the dining room, it's no-nonsense fish, always impeccable. At the bar, it's cruising and hooking-up galore. Hanson also operates Ruby Foo's, Blue Fin, Dos Caminos and Isabella's. — Steven A. Shaw

Have been going to Blue Water for the last 7 years and it never disappoints. The food and service are really the best the city has to offer and if you are there for a special occasion they go above and beyond to make the night so very memorable. A great value and experience you will never forget.

I took my best friend there for his birthday last night.We had a fantastic experience. The hostess was warm and inviting and seated us within ten minutes of our arrival. Our waitress was so sweet and seemed as though she genuinly cared about us having a great dinner. She was attentive and was constantly smiling and checking on us. He ordered the lobster bisque (best i have ever had) and i had the crab cake. The crab cake was fantastic although i wish they gave me two instead of one, so I could have shared! Our entrees were good, but nothing special (filet mignon, and sea bass). All in all its a great place for a romantic date, dinner with parent, or friends.
