If there is anything easy to find in Temecula it is a restaurant.  The number and variety of cuisines seem endless.
We had heard good things about Bluewater Grill Seafood Restaurant & Fish Market in uptown Temecula and so decided it would be perfect for dinner one evening.  However it took some finding on our part since we took an unwanted tour of the Promenade seeking it.  Finally using Bluewater's Hostess as our guide by phone we found it and were most grateful when we finally met Sophia. 
Once seated all went well.  This restaurant is all about seafood and shows a casual seaside ambiance both in the spacious dining room and bar lounge.   We looked over a menu that was perfect from our standpoint since we love seafood. Then we met General Manager Chad Simpson  who suggested we might want to try a couple of  the specialty  entrees by sharing two.   This proved an excellent plan.  I opened with the New England clam chowder then for our entrees we had the halibut  which came perfectly cooked with meat flaked as you touched it with the fork.  It came on a bed of corn bread topped with spinach..  My dining partner ordered and shared the pan seared sea scallops in a tasty sauce on a bed of grits and surrounded by corn and asparagus tips.
Now it was time for dessert and on the menu was Mud Pie, an item we had not seen in some time.  When it arrived it was not only most tempting but huge in size and even though both of us attacked with vigor we could not finish it.
We were so impressed with Bluewater Grill that we asked Manager Chad about some of the other locations and learned that both Santa Barbara and Redondo Beach also had Bluewater Restaurants.  In Temecula it is located at 25700 Ynez Court in the Tustin area.  Telephone 951 308-2722, web www.bluewatergrill.com.
