A little disappointed. A tad overpriced for slightly above average food.
Paid $96 for two entrees, an appetizer, and two drinks. Maybe I would feel better about the price if I were blown away by the food.
I doubt I would return. -

I've been here twice. The first time I came with a group of co-workers and we split the tuna roll and one other app. They were delicious. I got the prime rib and it was perfectly cooked, very flavorful, and so juicy. The horseradish sauce was a great combination.
The second time I came alone for lunch as soon as it opened that morning. I ordered some oysters which were delicious. They also have a $6 deal menu for lunch where you can choose about 7 or 8 different things. I got the spicy tuna roll again which wasn't as good as I remembered from the first time. I also got a burger for the main course and I have to say it was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten in my life. It was cooked perfectly and exploded with flavor. It was fantastic.
I'll be stopping here every time I pass through Maumee. -

My wife enjoys her red trout and I like that their kids fish sticks were real fish. I wasn't so lucky as my scallops were weird gray color and were not sweet or tasty. They gladly replaced my order so I order the white fish. Unfortunately that dish taste it worse than the scallops. the manager came out and they only charge for my wife and my daughters meal so I can send in for handeling the situation properly. I will try them again next time and hopefully get better results .

I'll start by acknowledging that every restaurant has an "off" night, and I could have very well been experiencing such a thing. I'll also acknowledge that I am, in general, a huge fan of the Mancy's Restaurant Group, so I had huge expectations for the Bluewater Grille and they had quite a bit to live up to.
But my recent experience? Substandard, at best.
As part of a medium-sized group with a reservation, we had requested a table out of the way in one of the many alcoves placed throughout the restaurant, but instead were seated at a table that was at the edge of the noisy kitchen and in the middle of the walkway, so were were constantly bumped into by other patrons and imposed on by the large service carts and trays. Despite this, we had an attentive server (who was one of the few redeeming parts of the night) who apologized for the chaos around us and was sure to keep our drinks refilled and checked on us consistently.
The biggest problem was the food itself. Our table ordered a wide range of items (seafood, steak, salads, appetizers) and every last dish was cold upon arrival. After sending the worst items back to be reheated, they rearrived at our table not 5 minutes later only slightly warmer. While the food was presented beautifully and I'm sure would have been tasty had it been at least lukewarm, we were instead disappointed and felt obligated to pick through our meal in order to avoid sending it back a third time. Our server communicated that we would have certain items taken off of our bill, but to be honest we would have gladly paid the full price for properly prepared food.
On top of it all, the manager never stopped by the table during dinner and instead sent all messages through the server. It was busy that night, but he could often be seen causually chatting near the bar with other employees. A visit to the table would have been appreciated and appropriate. At the end of the night when we approached him, the chef could be seen standing at the edge of the kitchen sending annoyed glances our way.
The other reviews on this site and others rave about this place, so I'm inclined to think that my experience was a fluke and would be willing to give it another chance. But the attitude of the manager and chef left me cold. I guess the moral of the story is that sometimes an upscale rating doesn't mean everything. -

This is most likely the one restaurant I would call my favorite in Toledo.
It's a Mancy's restaurant so top tier as all the Mancy's are. The food is fantastic, as is the service, and the decor as well.
Neither of us has ever had anything we didn't love here. -

I'm thinking this is as good as it gets in Maumee, OH. Mancy's is like a upscale Bonefish Grille. It was really close to our hotel, so we actually came here twice during our short stay in Ohio....once with a friend and once on our own.
We came here on a Saturday night at about 8:30PM and was told it would be about a 15-20 min. wait...no problem, as we are use to much longer waits and don't mind getting a drink at the bar. We took a seat at the bar and right away could tell that the service was going to be blah....we basically got our drinks by the time our pager went off to get seated...that bad!
As soon as we were seated we were thrilled to find out we had a booth seat...we hardly ever get booths! They always start you off with bread, and we had to wait a little extra for ours as it was coming right out of the oven. Note to future diners....I would come here again and again and again just for the bread...yes, it is that good!
We started off with the Singapore style Calamari and the Heirloom Tomato Salad for apps. Calamari was good, but the flavor was a little more subtle than what we expected. Heirloom Tomato Salad was excellent! For entrees, we ordered Delmonico Steak with Prawn Shrimp and the Pretzel Crusted Grouper. Hubby enjoyed his steak and shrimp. My Pretzel Crusted Grouper came with leek mashed potatoes and asparagus. The grouper would have been pretty bland on its own, so thank goodness it came along with this amazing mustard aioli sauce......soooooooo frickin good! We were way stuffed, but wanted to sample some desserts! Hubby ordered the Key Lime Pie and I ordered the Apple Brown Betty. I wasn't even hungry at this point, but with the help of my hubby I pushed through and finished my Betty! It was amazing, but I'm a sucker for anything with caramel and apples together.
Come here if you are tired of the Outback's, Applebee's, and Olive Garden options. Don't come here if you don't want a dimly lit setting and $20-$35 entrees. This place offers a little bit of everything, but the main focus is the fresh fish flown in daily! Highlight's of this meal: BREAD....enough said! And the Pretzel Crusted Grouper with amazing sauce, and Apple Brown Betty were pretty good too ; ) -

Good selection of seafood, with a nice domestic wine list. Both reasonably priced. We enjoyed three kinds of raw oysters. Our grilled whitefish was perfectly done. Great service by Victoria.
Warning: Take a flashlight so you can read the menu, and take care walking around, as they seem to take pride in keeping it really dark. -

First and foremost : We were visiting our home town Toledo and we met some friends at Bluewater Grille for some drinks. I had just got my
i phone. My friend said hey I know a great app you can get. This is where I got the Yelp App.
We did frequent this restaurant often and never had a bad meal. The Mancy Family has always been a top establishment to go to. They have a number of restaurants around town and everyone of them is top shelf.
Mr. Mancy would always come and talk with my wife and I when we would come. He did appreciate our business and was happy to see us.
The service was excellent and the wait staff was very attentive. The food was great, I always ordered Salmon, my favorite, and it was done to perfection.
Just a few minutes from the expressway , easy in and easy out. I am sure you will find Bluewater Grille a charming place with great food. -

As a self-proclaimed zealous bruncher, brunch on Sunday was a must for my parents and me this past weekend. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems/sounds like Mancy is Toledo's Cameron Mitchell and Bluewater Grille is Toledo's Ocean Club (plus the daily changing menu.)
Anyways, I opted for the crab cake eggs benedict (2 crab cakes and poached eggs on top of an english muffin drenched with hollandaise sauce.) The eggs were poached to perfection and crab cakes were savory and not heavily breaded. The accompanying home fries were not too greasy nor too briny. My dad went with the grilled beef tenderloin eggs benedict which was basically the same dish. Having ordered them well, I found the tenderloin to be a tad chewy. My mom settled with the beef tenderloin tips which had a distinct taste to it, but still quite tasty. I searched the brunch menu for the stuffed french toast but to no avail. Either they change the menu weekly or have removed it completely.
The ambiance was quite... blue. The restaurant was either suitably named or aptly decorated. Our hapa server was nice to look at, although service seemed to be quite rushed.
The 5th star will (or will not) come once I sample their real menu, because we all know that one actually has to TRY in order to screw up eggs benedict.Listed in: Best places to impress a date…, Brunchalicious

This is where you will find me at least once on every monthly trip to the Toledo area. The seafood is flown in daily to ensure it is always delicious! All the staff are warm, friendly, and ready to show you why this is a place they are proud of.
I wouldn't suggest bringing the little ones to this restaurant, but I have seen the well behaved munchkins present.
For the wine lovers, if you know your vinology, ask for the reserve list. I have found Rubicon Reserve 2005 there as well as some other treasures! Side note, the cheese plate appetizer will never fail you! -

A little pricey, but most seafood is...great service and dinning. I'd recommend the calimari as an appetizer!

Great seafood in a very nice setting. Menu changes as fish is available, most fish on the menu is either simply grilled or in a more elaborate dish. Excellent selection of app's, we had the calamari quick fried and served in a hosin sauce with seaweed salad. Unique and really good. As the main course had grouper broiled with a mild BBQ glaze, served on garlic mashed and perfectly cooked string beans and covered with thin, crisp, fried sweet onion strings. Excellent presentation and wonderful taste. Beef available if someone in your group does not like seafood. Very nice bar area, good wine list with some available by the glass.

I highly recommend their salmon, it is amazing! The salmon is so juicy it just melts in your mouth! Unfortunately, I can not speak on behalf of any other of their menu items because I have only been to Mancy's once, but I plan to go again soon!

The Bluewater is a fantastic place to eat. They have a large number of menu selections, and fantastic service. Make sure to bring plenty of money, this place is not cheap.

Love the king crab there! Also the best grilled sea scallops by far . And if you want a great top shelf Margarita, order the Golden Margarita! I always get the sampler plate of Oysters on the half shell - Delicious!

We went there last night for an anniversary dinner. We were seated in the bar-section in a booth. At first, we were worried about the noise level but it ended up not being a problem. The service was prompt and friendly. It was our first time dining there. The server asked us if we had been there before and when we said no, he went over the basics of the menu which I appreciated. I had the Red-Oak Grilled Scallops. The scallops were pretty decent but what really made the dish was the sauce and the mushrooms/potatoes. My husband got the Ahi Tuna with the wasabi, sticky rice, etc. He said it was not the best tuna he's had but it was pretty good. We both got house salads and their maple dijon dressing is one of the best I've ever had. The bread they bring to the table was pretty good too. What made our meals weren't necessarily the seafood but all the littles extras. We would go back for a nice dinner maybe 1 a year or every other year.

Very nice atmosphere. They bought and renovated the old Hops. Did a wonderful job with the renovation. It is very nice place to go and eat. They have about 30 different fish to choose from. A lot of selection. I had the crab legs and they were amazing! Plan on going back again soon.

Refered here by some locals, and everyone seems to love it, but my house salad and gnocci mahi mahi was just average for above average price.
