Blue Water Grille - Barrington

We had a debacle about our reservation on Mother's Day. Only one head up; there are 2) terrace options. You have overhead protection and you don't. If you want overhead protection, you should specifically request this option to avoid confusion. That was a point of reference for us. Fortunately, the owner was a “Prince of a Gentleman” and he solved the thing nicely and treated us with kindness and respect. Kudus to him! We sat at a table with head protection and could enjoy a nice meal. We started with lush liberations and amazing appetizers Calamari and lobster arancini). Our dinner was just as delicious. Between us we had salmon nicoise, beef tenderloin, and garganelli avocado pesto with shrimps. We had no dessert because we went back to our daughter. Our servers were pleasant, polite and professional, which contributed to an excellent experience. We look forward to a soon return and recommend this hidden gem! Thank you to the owner for his friendly consideration.

Excellent seafood!
