Cash for your car

If the thought of even more land-lubbing poultry is unappealing, maybe it’s time you head for the sea. Bluewater Grill’s Southern California locations are offering seasonal cheer with some special good tidings. The fresh twist on holiday dining includes a limited-time yuletide cocktail, a seasonably favorite holiday meal, and a money-saving shopper’s special.

Bringing the Northeast Holiday to California

Timed to help relieve holiday pressures, all three Southern California Bluewater Grill restaurants are preparing a special version of the “Holiday Stuffed Maine Lobster”, a classic New England holiday family meal. Originating in Boston-area restaurants, this limited-time deal includes whole Maine lobster stuffed with a special shrimp and buttery panko-crumb stuffing, served with choice of two scrumptious sides, unlimited fresh and delicious sourdough bread, plus a Bluewater Grill bib, all for only  $28.95 (note, a minimum of 15 minutes preparation time required.)

Bluewater Grill co-founder Jimmy Ulcickas wanted to give Californians a tasty treat this holiday season. "Generations of New England families have been going to Boston seafood restaurants like Anthony’s Pier 4 for years to splurge on this local winter delicacy – so we decided to offer a California version for Bluewater Grill customers", explained Ulcickas. "The record availability and low prices of Maine lobster allow us to offer this special meal at an extraordinary price."

Eat, Drink and Be Merry

As no good meal goes without accompaniment, Bluewater Grill is also warming your tummy with their unique Holiday Cranberry Bog Lemon Martini, made with fresh cranberry juice, Absolut® citron, sour mix and a splash of bitters, served in both the bar and dining room. This festive drink is also available on "Martini Thursdays", the restaurants’ popular pre-weekend splurge with half-priced martinis and cosmopolitans from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Shopper’s Special

Bluewater Grill’s only restaurant located in a retail center, The District at Tustin Legacy, introduces a "Holiday Shoppers’ Special" at its new Orange County location. Now through the New Year, holiday shoppers who need a pick-me-up can visit any night except Saturday, between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., and indulge in a three-course meal, including choice of wine or dessert, for just $19.99. Available exclusively at the Tustin hang-out, the Shopper’s Special includes choice of seafood, chicken or beef entrée, including the chef’s fresh fish of the day; choice of homemade chowder or salad; and choice of dessert (homemade crème Brule or hot fudge sundae), or a glass of red or white house wine.

About the Bluewater Grill

Established in Newport Beach, California, in 1996, Bluewater Grill is founded on the traditions and rich history of local fishing forefathers. Their philosophy is to work with local fisherman to source the globe for the highest-quality seafood in peak season. Bluewater Grill works with renewable, sustainable fisheries to ensure the restaurant does not take more from nature than nature can handle and that all Maine lobsters served at the their various locations are caught in eco-friendly traps by local Maine lobster harvesters.

Bluewater Grill prints its lunch and dinner menus daily, offering fresh ideas and more than 40 varieties of seafood annually. With a shellfish bar, patio dining, kid’s menu, full bar, and great wine list, Bluewater Grill, owner-operated since its inception, is committed to providing guests with the highest-quality seafood, classically prepared in a friendly, casual atmosphere at a fair price.
