BlueCoast Seafood Grill Reviews

Very good food. Staff needs to be more attentive. No sense of urgency and they where not even busy.

Great wait staff, very attentive. Good food, wonderful variety.

Wonderful menu, delicious food, great service, delightful ambiance! Go back every chance I get!!!

Always excellent - great food, good specials and excellent service!

Couldn't have been more pleased. Tuesdays are a great deal and the food is phenomenal!! Had a tough time deciding between all of the delicious dishes.

Fantastic restaurant! Delicious! Go early or get a reservation, it gets packed early!

A noisy place with an indifferent staff and average food. By far, my least favorite of the SoDel Concepts Group, which we frequent.

This is our special occasion restaurant.

Simply Awesome!

Our second time eating at Bluecoast, the first time we had an awesome meal service was great. The second meal was even better. I will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Whenever we visit our favorite state-side vacation area, Bethany Beach- no visit is complete without a trip to Bluecoast.

The theme of my review is above and beyond, because that it what we experienced during our most recent trip: above and beyond service from the entire staff.

Upon arriving at Bluecoast, we were informed of the 1.5 hr wait. Having come to Bluecoast every summer, we knew to expect the wait. The hostess went above and beyond to find a place for us to sit while we waited outside as my five-year old son was tired from a long, fun day at the beach.

The outdoor area is as enjoyable as the interior of the restaurant. Comfortable 'beach chique' furniture, and pleasant lighting.

After we found seats, a server greeted us. To say he was busy, was an understatement. But despite his workload, he too treated us with sheer kindness and gave us wonderful service.

While it happens every time we go to Bluecoast, It's always hard to believe that some people can find a reason to complain about an expected wait at a beautiful, beach-side restaurant that provides great service, and keeps the champagne and wine flowing. Despite the beatings that the staff takes, they keep their good service, respect, and charm at full speed at all times.

Our outside server came to check on us, refilling drinks, checking in on the status of our wait. He was wonderful.

After our wait, the charming hostess took us to our table. Our server was outstanding. She thanked us for our patience during the wait, and flawlessly described the specials, answered questions, and replenished our drinks.

The little guy was pretty tired after the wait (it was nearly 10 pm by this point), so we opted to have appetizers and his entree at the table (which he loved), while taking the adults in our parties' entrees home.

Our server was completely understanding and had the waitstaff pack our entrees to go.

As always, the food did not disappoint. From the soft shell crab entree,to the crab carbonara - each dish was a hit.

Bluecoast is worth the wait. Every time. Bluecoast is always the highlight of our vacation.

Thank you, Bluecoast, for always being such a special treat for us! We cannot wait until our next visit.

Excellent and exquisite sea food accompanied by very good service.

Friendly staff, delicious food and great wine selection!

Great food! Our waitress, Hope, was very knowledgable and helpful with the menu. Everything was very good! Glad to find this place and I recommend it. Go midweek and early to avoid a line

Awesome Seafood and Raw Bar!!! Cant wait to come back!!:)

The filet is so smooth, it melts like butter. Everything is always excellent. On and off season, top notch.

It's a solid seafood restaurant. Almost 5 stars. But that's hard to achieve. Excellent service.

Enjoyed my salad topped with blackened salmon. Cheese grits were excellent. Bread brought to us was cold and not fresh.

Never disappoints! From the atmosphere...beautiful bay views to the outstanding food and service! Highly recommend checking it out when in Delmarva!

After an evening of shopping, my wife and I had a taste for seafood. This us our second time having dinner at Bluecoast Seafood Grill. The manager was friendly. Our waitress was professional and courteous. Our meal was great. Overall great experience. We plan to visit again.

Outstanding meal on July 4th. Oysters, soft shell crabs, tuna poke bowl, martini, wine...all perfect.

Me and my wife have eaten here for many years now atmosphere relaxed they have really good great staff

Too loud, not enough choices on menu. Wait time was too long for the product/result.

We did carryout today. Though, we had to wait longer than anticipated. It was well worth the wait. Eating some of the "best of the best" of eastern shores finest seafood. Awesome

Excellent food, the service was superb!! Our waiter was spot on! This restaurant is not to be missed!

Very beautiful and well kept and friendly place to enjoy a great seafood dinner

Loved the lobster cavatappi! Also really liked the wine flight.

Not bad. Not great. Service was very friendly and has awarded them an additional star. Menu has some traditional items with some brave twists. Not always in my flavor house, but what I ordered did taste good. Worth the visit to formulate your own opinion.

I had a really good experience with my family. What stood out was the really well prepared fresh fish and the super attentive staff. There is a great wine menu and a decent variety of beer. If there is anything that I would change it would be to raise the lighting level just a bit. After the sun set, it was pretty dark in the restaurant. Would definitely come again next time we are in the area.

This place knows what they are doing. Great food. The type of food you want when you are on the coast

Arrived a few minutes ahead of the other 2 in our party. Inside hostess(all 4 of them), a bit snarky. Certainly immature and smug. We were told to wait outside. When the other 2 arrived, went back in and we were seated. Not sure why we couldn't have been seated in the first place. The rest of the evening was pleasant. Our server was excellent. Food was good but a bit expensive. Very noisy and crowded. Bar area is in the front entrance and a tight squeeze. For a restaurant of this size, only one (1) restroom for each sex is underwhelming. Not sure I would go back to this particular place.

Excellent food people couldn't be more accommodating

First time at Bluecoast and definitely not our last. The salmon was very tasty as well as my martini. The service was great also. Can't wait to visit again.

EXCELLENT dinner. Great service. My seared Tuna was insane !
Four people on our group, everyone had different plates and everyone said it was the best they ever had. Fried lobster appetizer was excellent.
can be a little noisy but worth it.

Dined here on Thursday night. Had the scallop dish. The scallops were over about 2 teaspoons of orzo and in a very bitter liquid gravy type sauce. They were lukewarm. My husband's tuna came out cold as well. We sent both dishes back. They were a little burnt when they came back! The place was very noisy and had to wait 40 minutes for a table. We ate here years ago and the quality was great! Not worth dining here, not a relaxing place. Everyone is running around! The waitress was kind enough to take the value of my meal off the check! Thank you! Linda

Attentive and friendly service, wonderful meal. The brussels sprouts and kholrabi salad and blackened scallops entree were wonderful.

My first time here. Wow, what great food. I had the Steamed Clams and Fried oysters Rockefeller. They were spectacular. They offer a full raw bar, featuring several type of oysters. The staff is very friendly and Happy hour is 3-6pm which featured oysters today. A great restaurant. I will definitely be back.

All time favorite restaurant in Bethany. Outstanding Easter, dinner carry out, dinner!

This place was amazing! The filet mignon was the best I've had in a very long time. Presentation was superb, atmosphere was warm and our server was fantastic! A must try!!

had dinner there food was warm, appetizers came out one ay a time, ordered 2 side dishes, they never came we weren't charged for them. we hadn't been to blue coast for a while, about 2 years ago everything was fine. this visit only choice of beef was butcher and chef steak, no filet mignon or strip steak.we were very issapointed.

Absolutely one of the best places we have ever eaten at. The food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional. Worth every penny! We will definitely be back.

Food was just okay, not spectacular, just ok! Very clean and the staff was great.

Great food. Long waits can be avoided by eating at the bar.

Everything was great! Service,food, the view. SLMON dinner was just grilled right and my wife's crab cakes were excellent

I would say this place puts in zero effort. People go here because it s the only place around they have no choice.

Visited in January. Food and atmosphere was great. Cant wait to visit in the warm weather and sit outside.

Excellent food as usual. Cozy atmosphere at the bar. Locals enjoying themselves before the "summer people" descend on us. Excellent and friendly bar stall.

My wife and I have been driving past this place for years but we never stopped until about two weeks ago. And we've been back twice since then. They've got a great happy hour (bar only) from 4-6 on Monday's to Friday's. Select draft beers are $3. This includes craft beers, not just the regular domestics. There's also $1 oysters (go for the Salty Kiss Oysters they're super delicious) as well as the deviled eggs. The eggs have a nice piece of lump crab meet on them as well as a sliver of jalapeno. It's a delicious bite and you'll probably want more than a few. You could order off the regular menu but you might as well go for the crab cake sandwich on the happy hour menu because it's $12 and also a great deal for what you get. We're big fans of this place and will be back soon.

Restaurant was clean, ordered the scallops and they were amazing

FANTASTIC! Food, service and atmosphere are all excellent. Great water front view from main dining area. They don't take reservations but well worth the wait. Highly recommend this SoDel group restaurant.

Great food and service. Molly our waitress was excellent.

The food was delicious, our server Adam was wonderful.

Took over 10 minutes for a waiter come to our table. Swedish meatballs were decent but I was not impressed with the presentation of the meal it was served on a very large plate so half of the plate had nothing on it very small portion of mashed potatoes as well. One bottle of blue moon was six dollars I find that quite overpriced. Wines are outrageously priced 30 dollar wines are being sold at 75 dollars outrageous!

Fresh oysters & clams and a creative seafood menu plus one of the better wine lists along the beach make this a very popular spot. The fresh cut, flash-fried calamari is spot-on and the grilled octopus was fabulous.
Helpful hint: Get there early.

Yum yum yum! We went for crabcake night and wow was it good. :)

Food and service were very good. Would definitely go back.

Had carryout. Travelled well for crabcakes. Bartender top notch in spite of the place being packed. Thanks All.

The food was excellent (8 persons in our group all agreed).
The staff was apparently short-handed. Every interaction with the staff was met with indifference and their desire to get away from the table as quickly as possible. Every request was delivered eventually, but the staff was actually curt to the point of being rude.

We hit on half price wine night and enjoyed a bottle of pinot grigio with our shared shrimp dumplings and spinach salad, both delicious. The entree of seared halibut was simple and satisfying. The dining room view of Salt Pond is gorgeous. We will be back.

Calamari was good, Oyster shooter was good. Prices, and our meals on the other hand the worst! The smell and flavor was terrible. We felt ill the rest of the night.We will never go back.

Awesome faw bar, and wine list!
Staff was very attentive as well.

Awesome food! The service and food were absolutely fabulous. Everyone at my table was licking their plate clean it was so good. Seafood is clearly fresh and the plating of the food was done with finesse.

The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the parking lot is a mess (not paved so you end up walking through muddy puddles), they don't take reservations and the place fills up fast, and it's quite noisy inside. I do like their outside patio to enjoy while waiting for a table.

We have been regulars at the Blue Coast for years. Their food, whether fish or beef, has always been tasty. Not so this past Friday. We won't return in the future. The steak special featured was so tough I couldn't cut it with their steak knife! It was garnished with blanched yellow and green beans (cold) and a few pieces of watermelon. Also ordered a wedge salad and it was difficult to cut. It looked as if it had been prepared by someone brand new to a kitchen. The wait staff were pleasant but the young ladies posing as hostesses were a bit uppity. Management is clueless. They've lost it and our business in the process!

Great little place, great food, and the service staff is large and attentive.

Incredible find on the Delaware/ Maryland line. Beautiful views especially at sunset. Great selection of foods for all tastes. You do have to realize your geographical location. There is an overload of crab based dishes which again should be expected in this area. Prices are a tad high but wildly average compared to restaurants in the area. The service here was second to none. I dont expect a server to refill drinks without being asked, but I commend them when they do. While visiting we ordered a variety of dishes (raw, kids, adult) and not a bad plate to be found. I would be half as eager if we hadn't stopped at a few places prior to picking this restaurant. I will return here without a doubt.

Food is good, but overpriced for the atmosphere. Good oyster selection, soup good, service average. Used to be better when first opened, now not so great. Other better places to spend my money.

Great atmosphere paired with even better food. Ordered from the fish board and had some amazing trout!

The service was excellent, the meals were absolutely fantastic, and the drinks were superb! We WILL be back again.

Simply the best of Bethany Beach. Fresh ingredients, well prepared and generous portions. Nice people and good service. Nobody does it better at the Beach

Phenomenal seafood! Love the halibut and oysters Rockefeller
