AmbergrisCaye.com Welcome Blue Water Grill Welcome to the website of the Blue Water Grill, regarded by many as one of the finest restaurants on Ambergris Caye, Belize. Our restaurant is located on the beachfront in the heart of San Pedro at the Sunbreeze Hotel. The Blue Water Grill serves a unique blend of island style cuisine with a Pacific rim twist in an open-air setting overlooking the Caribbean Sea. We also offer a variety of wood-fired pizzas each night, Sushi arranged by talented chef Chris Aycock on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and daily Happy Hour specials on many tropical cocktails between 4 to 6 PM each day. MENUS The Blue Water Grill is open daily for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Reservations are recommended for dinner. We've recently updated our Summer 2005 menus and have made them available online. We encourage visitors to check out our Dinner Menu, Lunch Menu, Breakfast Menu, and Beverage Menu. Our owners, Kelly McDermott and Chris Aycock, are both actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the restaurant and carefully select each of the items on the menu. Some of the most popular dishes include crispy coconut shrimp sticks with a sweet-spicy black bean sauce, Japanese spiced grouper with a sizzling spicy vinaigrette, and black bean crusted snook with a caramelized banana-curry sauce.

After graduating from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, she returned to Belize in 2001 to open the Blue Water Grill with chef Chris Aycock. Together they were excited to create a dining experience unlike anything else on Ambergris Caye. Over the years, Kelly has combined her education in international business with her knowledge of local culture and outgoing personality to make the Blue Water Grill one of the friendliest, well-run, and enjoyable dinning experiences in Belize. Chris Aycock - Co-Owner/Chef: Born and raised in the great state of Texas, Chris' love for food started early in life. Learning from his mother's kitchen philosophy, "Do a lot with a little," Chris has taken this concept to a new level here in Belize. Without downplaying the importance of quality products, his rationale is "what makes a great chef is their ability to create an amazing dish with a very limited ingredient pool." Such an attitude is a big advantage when creating a menu in a locale where the availability of many ingredients is seasonal. After graduating from Stephen F. Austin State University, in Nacogdoches, TX, Chris decided to pursue his culinary aspirations on a professional level. By the time he graduated from the Western Culinary Institute, Portland, OR, Chris had fallen in love with the city and all the incredible vegetables, fungi, and seafood the Pacific Northwest has to offer creative chefs. Chris initially joined Atwater's Bar and Grill, where he trained under the Chef Mark Gould, soon becoming Chef De Cuisine. What ensued was a culinary adventure Chris would never forget, working with culinary giants such as Julia Child, David Burke, Roy Yamaguchi, Andre' Soltnier, Corey Schreiber, and Wolfgang Puck. After filling his culinary tableau with what Portland had to offer, Chris moved to the heart of the Rockies, Vail, CO where he continue his growth as a chef in well regarded restaurants such as Toscanini, Splendido, and the Chateau. Now executive chef and co-owner at the Blue Water Grill, Chris goal has been to make the food at the Blue Water Grill the best on the island. Many feel that not only has he achieved that goal, but that the Blue Water Grill can claim the best variety and quality of food in the country.
