Blue Water Shrimp & Seafood Hilton Hawaiian Village

Food was pretty good and not too expensive. My wife and I got the fish tacos, which was very tasty. My fish tacos were loaded with what they usually come with, where as my wife did not get all of that on there. My dad got the steak and shrimp, which I got to try and thought it was exquisite as well. I subtracted only 1 star for atmosphere only because some feral birds walk around under the table trying to get food, but as an attempt to mitigate their presence they had signs out asking customers to not feed the birds and had umbrellas up. Service was great, felt easy going, friendly, and checked in on us.

The Food: This is a great spot if you are staying on the property and want solid seafood without leaving the "Village." ​Garlic Shrimp: We tried the garlic shrimp, and it was good—classic Hawaiian style. ​Lobster Tail: We also tried the lobster tail, which was cooked well. Great food overall. ​Logistics: ​Convenience: It is located right in Hilton Village, which is super convenient. A big plus is that they take room charge (bill to room), so you don't need to carry cash/cards if you are a guest. ​Seating: There is a dine-in option (tables available), but we ordered to go to enjoy it in our room/lanai. ​Verdict: A reliable, tasty seafood stop right inside the resort. Perfect for a casual dinner when you don't want to drive anywhere.

The bus boys were great at taking care of cleaning the tables and keeping the pigeons and birds away, setting the table up for the next people to sit. The flow of it all was just off as they have people who seat you after you order at the counter. The bus boys/servers do place fresh cold water on the table with silverware. They then brought out our entrees. The food was delicious and looked good as well. The portion size was also good. We ordered an appetizer which came after the meal and only after we asked. The people sitting across from us had the same issue, different appetizer. I then had to go ask for lemon and to go boxes.

If you’re staying on the property, this is one of the Hilton Hawaiian Village restaurants that’s slightly less overpriced for what you get (about $25–30 per plate). There’s really nothing special about it, but when you’re stuck in the Village and don’t feel like walking- you don’t have many choices. The garlic shrimp is a must, and the ʻŌpakapaka is solid. Just be warned — the birds are aggressive and will absolutely steal your food. We ended up ordering to go and eating in our hotel room, which was honestly the better move

Great little place tucked out of the main foot traffic of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We stumbled upon this place looking to get away from the more commercial, highly-overrated restaurants on the resort and we were so pleasantly surprised at this place! The food was amazing, well priced and the portions were huge-something you DO NOT get elsewhere on the resort. We ate here 3 days in a row! We'd also noticed a lack of highly anticipated "aloha spirit" in most other places we went on the resort but not here! The staff were incredibly friendly, funny, and very appreciative of tourists! They also genuinely seemed to enjoy each other and had a lot of fun together! Great spot, you won't be disappointed!
