Hidden gem in Red Mill! We come here often and I finally grabbed a picture of my meal.My wife had the blackened salmon and I went all out with the blackened Seafood Combo. The combo had halibut, scallops, a crab cake, seasoned veggies and mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection! The halibut was amazing.The owner makes you feel like family the minute he sees you. He obviously treats his staff the same because they also treat you like you belong there and are the priority. The service, food and drinks are always consistent.The bar tender is a machine! She does not stop shaking cocktails and is super attentive the minute you sit down. I still don't know how she does it.I could go on and on.. the small dish that changes frequently and the Lil sweet potato biscuits w/ apricot butter they give you before dinner, the hostess(es) that greet you and always try to squeeze you in when it's busy...Definitely my favorite neighborhood date night spot! They're also super kid friendly. The kids menu has plenty of options.read more

The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. Kenzie was our server and she was amazing, very knowledgeable of the menu and personable. Ordered the crab cake, fried oysters, brussel sprouts, fried green tomatoes and chocolate bread pudding. The presentation was nice and food was delicious. I really enjoyed the amuse bouche, it was a pleasant surprise. Come give them a try!read more

Dinner was exceptionally delicious. Appetizers were great too. Service was great. We go here every year on vacation for great seafood. Go early as they fill up fast and you cannot do reservations. Opens 4 pm. Worth your while to go.read more

Blue Seafood & Spirits is a standout dining destination that delivers an exceptional coastal culinary experience. From the moment you walk in, the sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere sets the tone for a memorable meal. The restaurant prides itself on serving the freshest seafood, with a menu that beautifully showcases local catches and inventive preparations that highlight the natural flavors of the sea.The oysters are a true highlight, served impeccably fresh with creative accompaniments that elevate each bite. Signature dishes like the pan-seared scallops, blackened mahi, and rich seafood pasta are expertly prepared and beautifully plated, while the rotating chef's specials offer exciting seasonal surprises.

The handcrafted cocktail menu deserves equal praise, featuring inventive spirits-forward drinks alongside an impressive wine and craft beer selection.Service is attentive, knowledgeable, and warm without being intrusive, making diners feel genuinely welcomed.

This place is amazing! The chef visits our table every time we eat here. The food is superb, the service is perfect, and the liquor selection is top notch! If you haven't been yet, you simply must give it a try. I have eaten here several times and tried several different entrees and they are all delicious. If you come on a weeknight there is usually not a wait!read more

Wow! Great service and delicious food!They started me off with a bit of the best ceviche I've ever had. Then the entree came, along with some delectable sweet potato biscuits, and I was in heaven throughout the meal. Dessert was strawberry shortcake, perfectly in season. I struggled to keep myself from eating it all.A great environment, friendly service, and tasty meals. What more could you ask for?read more

If you're wondering if THIS is the place you should go out to eat or not....there should be NO question! The owners of this place put more into their business than any other I've ever been to! (I don't visit chain restaurants.)The food, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere....you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!! Go! Go directly to BLUE! Do not consider another place! THIS. IS. IT. Go for a special occasion, for date night, for just because...it doesn't matter....the food will be *top notch* no matter what the occasion and you will be treated like royalty every single time!I have absolutely no idea what is written on their menu. Why? Because the specials are where's it at! Order anything Charles has on the special for the night, it will be amazing and definitely a limited item! Oh! And the crab soup of the day...chowder, corn, tomato, whatever it is, IT IS DELICIOUS!!!!!!Update: 04/22- STILL hands down THE BEST. 💯‼️read more

Great little restaurant. The food is excellent. Would be nicer in a larger establishment. I'm not a fan that it still looks like a bar, but it doesn't prevent me from enjoying the food and staff.
