What a River Crab/Bluewater Inn gift card gets you
The card covers the full dinner and lunch menus, the raw bar and fresh-catch specials, the wine and cocktail list, and private-event and banquet bookings at the River Crab and the Bluewater Inn. Because both fall under the Muer restaurant group, the same card is generally honored at the group's sister seafood houses. No activation or dormancy fees apply.
two formats:
- Physical card: Available at the restaurant or by mail when ordered online. Whole-dollar amounts.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable at the table. $25 to $200 via Dyme.
You can apply more than one card to a single check; hand them to your server before they close out the bill.

Can I get a River Crab/Bluewater Inn gift card at a discount?
No. River Crab/Bluewater Inn gift cards transfer at face value, and there's no discount channel for them anywhere — no warehouse-club multi-packs, no secondary-market resale, and no standing brand promo on the cards themselves. What does change is what comes back to you on the purchase:
- Occasional restaurant bonus offers. Independent and small-group restaurants sometimes run a holiday bonus-card deal — buy a set amount, get a bonus card. If the River Crab or Bluewater Inn runs one, it would come direct from the restaurant, not a third party. It's seasonal and not guaranteed.
- Your credit card. The Dyme purchase still earns whatever your credit card pays out on general spend, regardless of the lack of a face-value discount.
- Dyme Miles. You earn Dyme Miles on the purchase — a return you don't get buying the card at the host stand.
When there's no discount to chase, the rewards stack below is where the return is: your credit card and Dyme Miles on the purchase.
