Wanted to recognize Blue Water for their awesome brunch. They have a very fun and unique bloody Mary bar, where you can customize your Bloody Mary and create your own skewers. The eggs benny was delicious and a good portion size. Our server was super kind and kept an eye on our table in case we needed anything. Overall, great experience and will be back!

Originally from the area and grew up coming to Blue Water and the quality is still top notch with great service and a varied menu. No matter what, you gotta get the bread. It's still from the patisserie and softs and delicious. While I've had a lot of meals here in the past, came here closer to closing on a Friday and they were still happy to serve us and our server was a delight. I had the curry mussels which was a delight! Not too spicy but very warm and tasty. It's a great dish to share, though I had just for me. Lots of mussels, excellently cooked, and more of that amazing bread to dip in too! This place does remain the best and absolute lake front restaurant, great for brunch, lunch, happy hours, dinner, an a great all year round lake adjacent dining experience.

Good solid choice. Nothing spectacular, but checks most of the boxes you'd want in a place like this: crowd-pleasing menu, good service, great spot and views being right on the lake. My wife and I shared the lobster role, as well as the salmon burger. The lobster role was understandably a bit pricier, but the quality justified it. The salmon burger even surpassed our expectations with a large cut of good quality salmon. The salmon burger was priced quite low too for what it was which was nice. Everything else was enjoyable and service was very attentive. You shouldn't expect to come here to try the bold and unexpected, but if you want comfort and familiar food and a nice spot, then this fills that need.

This place was great! Service was very good and views of the lake and stream from the restaurant were also very cool. Crystal clear water so could see fish! It was quite busy so I would recommend a reservation if you plan to come at peak hours. As for the food, was pretty good. Everything was cooked to order and brought out very quickly. The food that we got wasn't anything to write home about, but I saw several people order lobster rolls which might be what I should get next time!

Blue Water Grill on Skaneateles Lake is a great lunch spot with much to offer. The varied menu includes sushi, salads, chicken sandwiches, and burgers. They don't take reservations for lunch, but two of us got seated quickly, even with a line ahead of us. We enjoyed it very much! Service was excellent, and the food was just as we ordered. Parking on the street or in metered municipal lot is only a block away. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Always delicious food and excellent service. One of our faves in Skaneateles! Sushi is always on point, fish fry is fantastic. Try the pies!

I always enjoy my time at blue water grill as the service is always great and just a good energy overall. It typically gets busy for lunch time so we tend to find a seat in their bar area. Or if it's quieter my mom loves to sit with a view of the lake. The food is always delicious and the fish tacos are always a good choice that a filled to the max. We also love the shrimp corn chowder when they have it! I tried a mojito on their specials list but I didn't care for it. It tasted like candy with a side of bitterness. I'm not sure how to fully explain the taste but I usually enjoy mojitos, this flavor just wasn't a great mix. Overall I'll always come to blue water grill when I'm out in Skaneateles!

Didn't have brunch ends 2pm but some of our group enjoyed their Bloody Mary's with goodies and a beer. Others enjoyed their fried calamari, which was excellent. Great taste and fantastic dipping sauce. Bison burger with fries excellent taste and cooked perfectly. Salmon burger also was very good. Great food and service all around. Back area was busy and based on that noisy. Free parking on Sunday

Specific to their popular Sunday noon time bloody Mary bar special, I have yet to find a better spot than right here on the lake. For $16 you get a bloody Mary with your choice of libation along with a 7 ounce corona with lime. Start by picking your favorite libation, then proceeded to a menu of olives, shrimp, assorted veggies, and various other foods to spear. You can get your glass rimmed with old bay or other flavoring to sip your beverage through. Pick from one of three tomato type mixes to finish off this party in a glass.

I stopped here for lunch with a few friends while in town for the Dickens Festival. It was a rainy damp day, and I really wanted a nice bowl of soup. I was very happy to see lobster bisque on the menu. Another in my party also ordered the lobster bisque. The other two split a huge order of nachos topped with black beans. The lobster bisque was amazing! I had nice chunks of lobster in every spoonful. It was creamy and smooth and perfectly seasoned, allowing the lobster to be the star of the dish. The nacho platter (it was huge) looked delicious. I tried a few bits. Everything tasted fresh. The generous wine pours topped off our lunch. We ate in the bar area. It was airy and comfortable but had no view of the lake. The main restaurant area had beautiful views, but considering the dreary day, it didn't matter. Excellent service was the topping on our quick meal. 2023-121
