Ocean Blu Cafe: A Poolside Restaurant with a View
If you're looking for a place to grab a bite to eat or a refreshing drink without leaving the beautiful Hilton Head sunshine, Ocean Blu Cafe is the perfect spot. Located at 1 Hotel Circle in Hilton Head Island, this seasonal poolside restaurant offers salads, sandwiches, fresh seafood, and Italian cuisine.
The restaurant has a modern ambiance with lots of sports on televisions. The staff is fantastic and attentive. David, one of the servers, is known for his excellent suggestions.
While some customers have complained about slow service, most agree that the food is delicious. The crab bisque is a standout, and the tuna and hummus appetizers are fresh and tasty. The crab cakes and ribeye special are also highly recommended.
However, some customers have criticized the small portions and high prices. The breakfast buffet is $23, and some customers feel that it's overpriced.
Overall, Ocean Blu Cafe is a great lunch spot with a view. The ocean breeze and views cannot be beaten. If you're looking for a place to relax after a day at the beach or golfing at Palmetto Dunes, Ocean Blu Cafe is worth a visit.

Really slow service for both drinks and food. 0 vegan options without modifications. Our server was doing her best but I was clear they were not properly staffed. The food was super expensive for the tiny potions

Had a light dinner and drinks with friends that were staying at the hotel. The she-crab soup is the best I've had on the island. The crab cakes were also very good.
The service was great and we enjoyed our meal/happy hour there. I am happy to have found the restaurant and will definitely go back.

Mediocre at best. Took a long time for someone to come out to our table. The food was not worth the price based on the small amount, mediocre at best for the price you pay. I’d stay away unless it’s just more convenient.

The service was a little slow because they were busy. Everyone was friendly, the view is lovely, people watching was enjoyable, and most importantly the food was delicious.

We have been coming here for years and even though it has changed over time, we still visit every year and the food is consistently great. You cannot beat the ocean breeze and views. I usually order a quesadilla to eat and their raspberry margaritas are amazing! Going again back this August.

Delicious fresh appetizers, we loved the tuna and hummus. The kid's meals didn't disappoint. The crab bisque best taste ever. Modern ambience with lots of sports on televisions. The staff fantastic.

To be fair, we decided not to get anything to eat here. We started with drinks. One person ordered coffee, one person ordered a White Russian, and one person ordered a beer. The person who ordered the coffee received a lukewarm cup of coffee that was the kind of temperature where you would be able to just gulp it down without any discomfort from the Heat. We sent the cup of coffee back asking for a hot cup of coffee, received a hot cup of coffee but there was some kind of residue on the walls of the cup. So we sent the residue cup back and told them we didn't want to Coffee anymore because the person who kept sending it back was feeling bad about sending it back. In an attempt to make it right though, our server went across the hallway and brought back a hot cup of Starbucks coffee. By then we were a little worried about them not being able to make a cup of coffee and decided not to have anything to eat. Our server was wonderful about the whole thing
