Blue Water Grill

Named and designed after the ocean, Blue Water Grill represents the adventure and unknown secrets that we feel under the sea.

This unique restaurant offers a great experience for any occasion whether it be a family event, a romantic evening, or a birthday celebration. The plates are all hand picked by the chef and owner, Paul Riggan. He takes his ideas from different cuisines such as French, Asian, Caribbean, and low country.

Some of his famous dishes are the Potato Crust Salmon, the Stealhead Carolina Trout, and the BBQ Duck Confit served over smoked cheddar polenta, locally grown collard greens smothered in a sweet BBQ sauce. Not only do they serve a wide range of freshly caught seafood, but they also offer a variety of different non-seafood entrees such as chicken and beef tenderloin. All plates are carefully put together and designed in an ornate design.

Blue Water Grill's mission is to be a place for all occasions. They have the tools for a regular night out, but they specialize in special events. This can include corporate and social gatherings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, engagements, and customized private parties. In the restaurant, they can fit parties of up to 80 people and including the outdoor patio, they can cater to 130 people. Offsite, they can cater to a whopping 1,000 people! For special occasions, they make sure to set up the food in a elegantly plated design and with creations that will make the event or occasion a memorable one. To book a catering service, contact Katie Arrington, Catering and vents Coordinator.

For my birthday, my parents treated my to an all expensed dinner for myself and a friend at Blue Water Grill. They had gone when they came down to visit me and said it was such great experience and that I had to give it a try. I was not expecting anything like what I found it to be.

When I walked in, I instantly felt at ease. The lighting is dimmed to give the whole atmosphere a calming ambient feeling. The hostess led me to my table which was located next to a huge fish tank that was designed in a way that it looked like the fish were "on stage". There were many different kinds of tropical fish in the tank, and throughout the whole restaurant.

I ordered the Boursin Crab Dip, the Black Grouper, and for dessert, the Creme Brûlée. It was very filling and so delicious. I had never had grouper that had so many different flavors. It was cooked perfectly. The crab dip was the perfect starter to this meal. It was just filling enough to hold me over until the entree and the dessert was just the cherry on top to the whole meal. Everything was so flavorful and I cannot say I had any complaints. It was the perfect birthday dinner.
