About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
*Unfortunately, this restaurant is not on the OpenTable reservation network and cannot respond to guest reviews.*

We are committed to sourcing sustainable seafood — and crafting innovative and memorable West Coast dishes. Our Raw Bar exudes a true Japanese culinary aesthetic, consistently delivering pure, clean flavours and unique presentations.

The striking dining room provides active views of the “East meets West” kitchen and Raw Bar. The sweeping main bar leads out to the heated patio and the private dining rooms, which hold our deep and diverse wine collection.

Housed in a handsome brick and beam heritage warehouse conversion, Blue Water Cafe is in the heart of the historic and vibrant Yaletown neighbourhood.

Please note: online reservations are available for parties of up to 12 guests. For larger parties, please call. Reservations are not required for seats at our bar.

    Have dined there many times, from small dinners for two to special events. Professional staff providing consistent service. Great food and good value for price point. Good cocktails and extensive wine list. Seafood towers always a 'wow'. Professional staff

    It's a classic, obviously, the food is excellent. Service was okay, not excellent, but decent enough for a restaurant like Bluewater cafe.

    The food was ok, a bit uninspired, clam chowder had been sitting- was thick and salty, and the clam and crab Louie salad had a spoiled avocado- disappointing attention to details.

    Its been several years, but when we dined there, the food was excellent. Our only issue would be that it is so popular, it gets a bit frenetic, and is always way too loud for casual conversation.
