A big splash in New York City, Blue Water Grill was inevitable to make its way to Chicago. But fans of the crammed East Coast original will be happy to know that there's actually elbow room in this spacious, two-level restaurant situated in the heart of River North. Depending on your mood, there are several atmospheres at Blue Water Grill, or BWG as its often called, from the front-room chill out lounge to a more formal dining room in the rear. Each space is also unique through the use of color, wood tones, fabric and detailed accessories. The menu offers a wide array of seafood and steak dishes, plus a selection of specialty entrees designed only for the Chicago location. Selections include the popcorn-crusted halibut with English peas, grilled corn, white beans and lobster tarragon vinaigrette; veal Milanese with vine ripe tomatoes; or the herb-steamed Chilean sea bass with rock shrimp, sun-dried tomato ravioli and pepper pistachio chutney. Sushi lovers will delight in a selection of signature rolls, including the Maine lobster roll with fresh plum, wasabi tobiko and wasabi-pineapple sauce. There's also a raw bar. For a clubbier atmosphere, head upstairs to the Starfish Lounge, a more sultry room with antique mirror screens, conversation-worthy decorations and a DJ spinning all your favorite hits.
