Located just 20 miles East of Gainesville, Blue Water Bay brings 'Fine Dining'
to the quiet town of Melrose, serving folks from Jacksonville, Ocala,
Gainesville and surrounding communities. Friday and Saturday nights we offer our famous 'Gourmet Buffet, featuring specialty salads, seafoods, creole-cajun dishes, as well as a variety of dishes to include chicken, pork and beef. On Sunday morning stop in for our Sunday Brunch! Blue Water Bay supports local growers and uses fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables when available.

Blue Water Bay offers a casual yet elegant atmosphere, whether in the
main Dining Room or in the Lounge. Rich wood paneling reflects a
warmth throughout and is complimented by artwork and stained glass
from local artists, as well as a variety of interesting fishing artifacts.

The Bay offers a well stocked bar and wine cabinet. Relax in the pleasant atmosphere and enjoy your favorite fine wines, cordials, cocktail or beer.
