Discovered this place thanks to Mikey Chen. It's across from the Prince Waikiki hotel. I went there for an early lunch and it was pretty quiet which suits me. They offer a range of dishes but the steak and shrimp caught my eye. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was juicy. The shrimps were tasty and well sauced. The overall meal was just perfectly portioned so it was filling without feeling bloated. The setting is pretty relaxed and covered so you can eat under shade. It's near the water which has a cooling breeze. I went back a couple of days later and had some more of their dishes.

This place is an amazing find, beautiful atmosphere right on the marina, great cheap and cheerful food from two food truck type setups, one doing authentic Hawaiian seafood and meats options and the other doing tacos and nachos and deserts. Surprising as better quality and value than we had at the more expensive resort type places. Super chilled option if you don't want to be eating at the surrounding resorts. Not licensed but you can bring your own wine and cups. Kid friendly big bonus for us!

Highly recommend! The seating area on the deck and the music playing in the background make this an amazing experience. We had food at the Blue Water Shrimp & Seafood Market an it was one of the best meals we had on our trip! If you are looking for a family friendly, beautiful view on the harbor, ambient lighting and music, you need to go here!

The Google rating for this place is ABSOLUTELY correct! We were 100% BLOWN AWAY by this place! This is actually a couple of eateries. One of them is finger foods and snacks, the other is entrees. The menu is on line, and we were impressed with what we saw before we went. It's located across the Kahanamoku Lagoon from a marina, so it's a good opportunity to watch boats and have a refreshment. The seating area is a bunch of tables and chairs with overhead cover, so you're not in direct sunlight. Soda and Water is available by the bottle/can. My wife had the Steak and Shrimp, I had the Fish and Chips. It was Ah-May-Zing!!! The Steak was cooked to order, and it was tender and juicy. The taste was as good as any 5-star restaurant you'll go to. The Shrimp was cooked in a tasty garlic sauce, and was SOOO fresh! Also included was a small salad with an INCREDIBLE Ranch dressing and a service of rice. My Fish and Chips was well breaded and toasted perfectly, the white fish was juicy and flaked apart when cut in to. The Tarter Sauce was also tasty. They have on-line pictures of a band playing, we were there late afternoon, no band was playing, but I can see this being a good place for that. If you order an entree, you get a free Dole Whip, available from the folks at the snack stand. Take your receipt with you so they can verify. We spend a little over $40 for 2 entrees, soda, and had one Dole Whip. This place is a real "hole in the wall" gem. When we come back to Waikiki, we'll make sure we plan a meal here! We were SO blown away by this place. You wouldn't expect the quality of food we got for the price we got it from here. We're staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and this place is less than a 10 minute walk from our tower. We walked back along the marina and got back on property by the lagoon. A good little after-dinner walk. This place blows away any of the eateries on site. Both in quality and price. Take a walk away from the resort and check this gem out! THANK YOU!!

Love this place! We’ve noticed the red sign for a while now and decided to walk over. Feels like a hidden gem. A beautiful space with food and smoothies. Had the fish and chips and dole whip and it was all tasty! The live music and being by the water was perfect, might be our new favorite pau hana spot
