Beautiful steak meal in the evening. Breakfast was pricy but a good selection on the buffet. Had the salad for lunch which was very reasonably priced and delicious. Friendly staff.
You have to get the chubby sauce. It has a tiny kick to it but itssss soooooo yummmmyyyy Taco Tuesday eat in the restaurant on top of a great view when you sit outside you get a great deal
The Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort does all things first class. One would be hard-pressed to find better food, a better atmosphere and better service than what is offered at the lovely Shades Restaurant for Sunday brunch. We were there the morning of the Blue Angels Air Show in October, and you would think that would be entertainment enough. (It was spectacular, by the way.) On this particular Sunday a magician - a sleight of hand specialist - wowed the four of us with tricks that were not only mind bending, but fork bending, too!
The buffet is overwhelming. Wide variety of whatever is on your crave........ it's there, go hungry with higher than high expectations, service not exceed by anyone else, friendly prompt at the whims.
Although, the eggs benedict................
Phenomenal, best I've had in years. Highly addictive and highly suggested at a drop 💧!
Bloody Mary????? Perfect for the easy sunrise of a beautiful, relaxing, breathable way to chill on the most beautiful beach in So. Cal !!
Bonus!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that my precious princess Kaila, my four legged baby, was treated like a very special guest, was the most explicit important factor in my stay at this resort, over the top, exactly what she needed in order for me to receive the relaxation I needed!!!!
Huge thanks to the entire team,
Shannon & Kaila

This is a gem and my new favorite restaurant. After traveling around southern California the past week we have eaten at many restaurants and nothing surprised us until Shades. Every dish has an excellent display and wonderful flavor. The steak was one of the best steaks I've ever had and the mussels were without a doubt the best I've ever had. Well done Shades! Thank you.
Once we were seated, we dove into the menu, starting with our need for alcohol. Per usual, I ordered a Bloody Mary. This one had sake and fresh horseradish. Not my favorite Bloody Mary, but it was sufficiently spicy and delicious. Nina and I couldn't decide between sweet or savory for our main course. We both wanted the potato cakes, and I wanted to try the pumpkin French toast, which looked seasonal. Didn't want to miss out! The waitress suggested both ordered our own potato cakes and sharing a half order of French toast. We were sold.
Excellent food. Steak was amazing, and I even liked my wifes salmon, and I'm not a fish eater. Very impressive, and good atmosphere. Also, drinks were on par.
Chris was excellent, he not only took good care of my family and I but was friendly and had great recommendations while in Huntington Beach. The food was decent.
Very pretty restaurant the staff and service was amazing the view to the beach was great and as an additional bonus the Hawaiian dancers dancing poolside really made the dinner experience superb
Great place if lodging in the hotel for lunch
We sat outside as the kids were swimming in the pool very close by
The fish tacos were excellent

Breakfast buffet is good, but not great.
