River Crab & Bluewater Inn

What a hidden gem in the Port Huron area. It is located right on the river so seeing freighters go by at dinner is not unusual, we saw three when we visited.
The service was great, though one downfall was they would not substitute the wedge on the pri fixe menu. Customer service 101. But other than that it was lovely. Water and wine never went empty.
The food portions are a bit large but that’s a win in my book. Nice leftovers are always great. I had the wedge salad, and the trio.
I would recommend for groups or a romantic night out.

The only reason I give them a 2 star is because I been here twice and the valet is horrible and rude the food was good tho but I don’t think I can come back here after knowing they still have the same valet company and I have heard other complaints too

What a great place! A really exceptional dining experience. We started with the shrimp cocktail and it was perfection, large and delicious. We choose from the special menu, crispy duck, and it was wonderful! The other selection was the pepper crusted tournedos, equally delicious. Our server, Abbie, could not have been more attentive. After dinner, at the bar, we enjoyed some excellent cocktails made by Shaun. It was a really wonderful evening.

I take my wife to this place for our anniversary. I fly around the country and eat all over the place. So I’m used to fine dining especially using my expense account. We called ahead to get reservations and got a table on the water. They Gave us a menu with happy anniversary on it just like Mortons Steakhouse and misspelled our names. We ordered the goat cheese salad and it was pretty good. But then in the middle of the salad they start hustling us for a Landrey’s restaurant affinity card for 25 bucks. I’m trying to have a romantic meal with my wife and I get marketing crap. Are these guys too stupid to know what segment of the market they’re appealing to? Cheap hucksterism during a fine dining experience really pisses me off. What idiot at corporate came up with this game plan? I, for one, will never go to another Landreys And last time I dropped about six bills at Morton’s.
I had the waSabe Pea encrusted tuna. It was bland and flavorless. The accompanying vegetables were overdone and tasted moldy. The rice was piled in a geometric shape in the middle and was also flavorless.
My wife had the chicken Pinot Grigio. Two breasts of chicken deep-​fried covered with cheese and slapped on top of linguine swimming in oil and wine. Similarly flavorless and accompanied with a few diced tomatoes.
The deals here seem to be the 3 PM to 6 PM sunset specials: three-​course meal for 20 bucks. So big meal, no flavor, 20 bucks, that’s about it Except that you’re on the river watching it Flow by. When the bill was presented we were again pitched with the $ 25 Landry’s restaurants affinity card.
When I complained to the manager she indicated that the waitress was only supposed to talk to us twice about the landreys affinity card during our meal. No Thanks, Landreys, I will take my corporate clients to Ruth’s Chris or Outback Before I come back to wanting your joints.

The food here is amazing. I’ve been a few times now, ordering something different every time, and it’s always perfect. The clam chowder soup is superb, as are the crab cakes. I’ve had a few different shrimp dishes, which were all top notch as well. Everyone I’ve been with each time I’ve visited has had nothing but good things to say. The service has always been great, and the atmosphere is probably my favorite out of any place I’ve been. Love it

Salmon planked the very best. Surf and turf fabulous
Mashed potatoes great. Pasta good too. Best view and service. Ramon great server.

I had a great time at this restaurant. My server was excellent, friendly and informative. Gazpacho was AMAZING. As a vegetarian it was a little tricky picking an entrée– I ended up getting a pasta that was packed with veggies, however I could easily make it myself for less than 5 $.
Lake side view is way worth it. Beautiful atmosphere. Great drinks.
Coming back for sure. Thanks!

The view on the patio is always wonderful. The food is usually good, but can be inconsistent. Today we started with the Wedge Salad which looked lovely. The dressing, however, was thin and unremarkable. The amount of bacon and blue cheese crumbles was sparse.
My husband ate the Firecracker Shrimp (appetizer). He says it was good, a little sweeter than the Hot Rocks which we’ve had before.
I had the Shrimp Scampi (extra veggies, hold the rice). It was good, but the chef could have been a bit more liberal with the garlic. (To be fair, I like garlic more than the average person.)

We love it here and have stayed several times. This past Sunday we enjoyed a beautiful and tasty brunch with some friends. Food and service were great. A bit slow on drinks from the bar but nothing to worry about.
The buildings are outdated but that is okay — once inside the view of the river and the food make this a non-​issue.
The rooms are cool and each one is decorated differently, it’s fun when you do get to stay. Who knows what your room will look like. I love that about this place no cookie cutter rooms where all of them are exactly the same.

The restaurant is located right on the river front. The server greeted us right away and was knowledgeable about the menu. The food was top notch from the presentation to the taste.
A very memorable night out with my family. Thank you.

Came here to celebrate my dad’s 60^th birthday, as this is my parents’ favorite special occasion restaurant. We’ve been dining here for many years and can consistently count on great service, food and ambiance. Regina was a delightful server who made sure we were perfectly taken care of.
Favorites are coconut shrimp, oysters rockafeller, scallops diablo. King Crab legs are worth the price, as the serving is quite generous.

The friendly staff and beyond great food! We celebrated our engagement here and they went beyond expectations to make it special. They even printed out personalized menus for us to take home.

This morning the sun was shining, & I knew I wanted to be at the River Crab for lunch! My Hubby & I made the drive and it didn’t disappoint! I just love the view of the water, with our Canadian neighbors in the distance. We ordered several items and was very pleased with all of our choices! Visit this place when you want a getaway, that’s not so far away! Ask for Jessica, she was a great server!

We went there recently for dinner and was disappointed with our meals. The drinks, servers and Manager were awesome, but I meal fell short. The shrimp cocktail were not very big shrimp, that were dry. My husband’s steak was undercooked, they were very accommodating to take it back and grill to medium. My shrimp dish was awful.
the shrimp were overcooked, dry and very crunchy. The pasta was stuck together and keep breaking, as the sauce tasted like tomato sauce from a can. We will come back again to give it another try, but maybe at lunch, a little less expensive for us to try again.

We had a fantastic experience here from making our online reservation to the waitstaff. The food was truly wonderful and the presentation beautiful. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner so memorable!

Had dinner and service & food was over the TOP. Mgr Martha was great and her suggestions were right on. Piano player John never missed a beat. Could have stayed all night to listen to his music

Summer rates for the rooms are about $ 80 weekdays and 110 weekends with outdoor pool and free continental breakfast. River views with freighters going by and a real nice Muer seafood restaurant much like the Chart Houses in Los Angeles.

The crab club is awesome but make sure to order it with only two pieces of bread instead of the three it comes with. The firecracker shrimp, scallops and the seared tuna are fantastic. Plus the view of the blue river, Canada and the freighters make for a very enjoyable experience.

I would give it more stars, because the food is excellent, but twice the hostess was not. I’m handicapped so that would normally mean accommodating my lack of ability to walk by seating me accordingly. On both occasions, I (& the group I was with) were seated as far as possible from the entrance. On the second occasion, I called a ‘time out’ on the walking and sat us halfway. I just couldn’t do it.
Go for good food, great view of the water and drinks/​entertainment. If you have special needs, say so at the door.

Went here with some local friends on Sat. night for dinner. They had reservations, seemed like a good idea considering how busy it was. The word on the street is, since the «corp» took it over not much has changed, but I have nothing but hearsay to base this on. However the manager won best manager out of 500 places a few years in a row, pretty cool. (and she was extremely pleasant when she came over and chatted with us)
The patio was packed, it was a epic night on the river, weather wise. The views are superb. We had a few cocktails waiting a mere 5 minutes to be seated. We sat inside along the river, again, nice views.
Started off with some wonderful bread, drinks a’plenty, oysters and conversation. Our service from start to end was wonderful. As mentioned earlier the manager came over and said hello, nice touch.
The menu is very extensive, lots of selections to choose from. I started with the Martha vineyards salad (not sure if the name is attributed to more than the obvious) But holy bananas, this little salad was down right incredible! Not kidding, one of the best side/​starter salads I have had, ever! And the lobster was very good, all of the meals we ordered looked great, only praises in regards to taste.
The place has a wonderful warmth and feel to it, does not put off a corp owned feel. Obviously it appeals to a more mature crowd, however not ancient. It has been here for an eternity, but seems to still carry a family run feel. The service was spot on from start to finish, can’t stress this enough.
