Bluewater Grill Supports Thomas Fire Fund on Jan 22

Bluewater Grill Seafood Restaurants will support residents and first responders impacted by the Thomas Fire when it opens its eighth Bluewater Grill destination restaurant at the foot of Stearn's Wharf on the Santa Barbara beachfront on Jan. 22.

Bluewater Grill Santa Barbara will combine fresh, sustainable seafood with monthly chef's tastings, Central Coast wine pours and neighborhood happy hours in the rebuilt historic lighthouse structure previously occupied by the famous Castagnola Lobster House at 15 E. Cabrillo Blvd.

In response to the devastating Thomas Fire, the restaurant will donate a percentage of its proceeds in 2018 to the Thomas Fire Fund, established by the United Way of Ventura County, United Way of Santa Barbara County, American Red Cross of Ventura County and Ventura County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services.

"We've been working with the City of Santa Barbara for more than a year so already feel a part of this close-knit community," explained Jimmy Ulcickas, Bluewater co-founder and co-owner. "In addition to directly supporting the fire-relief effort, we look forward to doing what we can in 2018 to come alongside residents, firefighters and others impacted by the fire."

Bluewater Grill Santa Barbara becomes the eighth Bluewater neighborhood restaurant, joining locations in Newport Beach, Redondo Beach, Temecula and Coronado, Calif., and Phoenix; and Bluewater Avalon on Catalina Island. Bluewater Grill Carlsbad debuted in Carlsbad Village in November.
