“I had to pull together a reservation last minute for a large group of people (20+) Victoria was so helpful over a series of phone calls and helped me ensure a space. The location is gorgeous and the food was delicious, but the customer service was the best! Thanks so much!”
“Food was ? and they were SO hospitable! First thing they said to us was Happy Anniversary when we arrived. We arrived 15 mins early for our reservation and they still seated us immediately. Served us complimentary Prosecco and their “in house made” limoncello. We love ordering our favorite Italian desserts at the end so I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have a classic cannoli, but their other options were still delicious. We will definitely be back again.”
“Food was excellent and the view is one of the best on the island. Would definitely return. Prices are on the high side but the portions are on the larger side.”
“We just had another outstanding dinner at Charlie’sWe came early to secure a seat at the bar. The two gentlemen who man the bar are wonderful, professional and kind. They make the experience even better. I ordered the soft shell crab that was prepared fried. I asked if the chef could sauté it and it was no problem. Absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to return!”
“After spending a week in Hilton Head and frequenting many of the local restaurants, would have to say Alfred's was our favorite. So much so that we ate dinner there twice and both meals were amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection, served piping hot and with a delicious sauce. The German platter is fantastic, and don't miss the potato pancake appetizer. Alfred's delivers where too many restaurants fail - phenomenal food & service.”

“Top notch experience at Links.Amazing service, beautiful setting and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend.Our waitress Clunise helped make it a memorable one. We will be back!”
“We had a generally good experience but for the first time in several visits the calamari and the chicken Parmesan seemed to be cooked in old oil. Both were overcooked and very dark”
“Fantastic dinner- on a busy Friday night! The crab cake was hearty and delicious, as was the mahi dinner! Best hush puppies I’ve had! Our server Joy was, well, a joy- stellar service and recommendations!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“4.5 ⭐️ Ate at a bar 2 person high top which was nicer than expected. Service was prompt and some of the best we had while on HHI. Had the veal piccata, started with arugula salad (forgot to snap photo), chicken parm (husband said it was ok) and finished with hot chocolate dessert. Definitely try this dessert! I would dine again and recommend.”

“The best BBQ spot on the Island. My family's been coming to HHI for 11 years straight on family vacation and we eat here every year! Wings are awesome and so are the ribs! They are pretty busy on the weekend nights so the wait could be a little while but we'll worth it.”
“Fantastic! We love Italian food and the island has many great options, however, this has quickly risen to our favorite. The place is tiny so don't expect to walk in. 3 days before, our options for a table for two were around 500 or 745. While 745 was late, it was better than the earlier time. We were seated promptly at a great cozy table, welcomed warmly and served a carafe of cold flat water. Our server, Angie G, was great! Asked if we had been there before (had not) and were thanked for coming in. We shared a delicious kale salad (on the menu it's called: Cavolo e Pecorino. It was portioned out for us on two dishes. Lemon and a good EVOO plus some magic ingredients made for a perfect light dressing. My husband ordered the orecchiette con salciccia (with sausage and broccolini) and I had the lemon chicken over angel hair "pollo y limone." The wine list was very nice and we shared a bottle of montepulciano. We ended up with plenty of leftovers, and could have easily shared, but we each loved our choices. Great people, great meal, great place!”
“We continue to be impressed by the entire dining experience at this Hilton Head Island gem. Everyone who waited on us, from the hostess to the bartender to the server, to the sommelier was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and pleasant. And the food, wine, and cocktails were all exquisite. It is a very small place, but it feels spacious enough due to very clever decorating. The bar is beautiful. We enjoy both the full dining experience, as well as the wine and cocktail experiences at the bar. Can't wait to visit again when we return to Hilton Head Island in May.”
“They have a back room for a more quiet experience.Vegetarian options: Just the dessertsDietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly labeled. Kitchen works around allergies.”
“The Studio is a wonderful upscale restaurant right here on Hilton Head Island. The menu, food and service is incomparable. The owners are welcoming and engaging. A lovely art gallery shares the restaurant space in this cozy location. If you are lucky enough to witness one of the local artists creating a masterpiece while you are dining, that's an added bonus! I would highly recommend a visit to The Studio.”
“The food was BOMB! The server (also a bartender) Derek was awesome. We got the sampler lobster (banging) Shrimp Scampi (banging), scallops (banging) lamb chops (to die for) Spinach and asparagus (amazing) scallop potatoes (bomb) mashed potatoes a little bland. Overall experience was 11 out of 10.”

“Loved every bit of our experience. I had stuffed flounder, others had the original and the shrimp/scallops. Each very well prepared, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful.”
“Omg! The service, ambiance, and food was spectacular! We normally go to HHI to eat at seafood restaurants but we ate here twice this weekend and we will DEFINITELY be back♥️♥️!!! Jess is the best!!!!”
“Fishcamp is a great little seafood spot in Hilton Head! The restaurant is small and it’s not very conveniently located, but it is absolutely worth the effort! Everything we got was delicious, and it’s location on Broad Creek is very scenic. I would especially recommend the jalapeño hushpuppies and the shrimp and polenta!”
“Love this place. The atmosphere is fun. The service is excellent. And their pizza is fabulous! A shout out to the bartender tonight ...she made the best dirty martini on the island!!!!!”
“I bought a gift certificate for my boyfriend and he just told me that he redeemed it with his sister and her husband today, having an early dinner which featured a robust selection discounted off dinner menu prices. The Cobb Salad, Chicken Marsala and Pork Snitzel and potatoes were all delicious as were the side Cesaer Salad and other sides. Great good, atmosphere and excellent service from Lauren! I thought it was especially nice that she read my birthday message and gave him a cannoli to share with his guests. They highly recommended Frankie Bones in Hilton Head.”
“Kyler made a rainy night out on the pretty deck a lot of fun! Exceptional server who should be a manager!! Jackie was very kind to us as she worked the puzzle of seating well on a busy night.Arcadio was an amazing guitar player and we were so sad rain cut his playing short. Drinks were fantastic !The food here is great and served hot but our favorite was the dessert sopapillas which you usually can only find in Colorado and New Mexico!”
“Very good food and service, we got there15 minutes before closing and our server was nice and didn't rush us, we were quick and they were not worried about it, ty so much for your kindness , food was perfectly cooked!!!”
“I delivered here for work and they gave me a delicious 12 inch pizza in which I ate on the way home. This place has some of the most amazing pizza in Hilton head. I'm going back next time I come for work.”
“Top notch experience last night at Truffles Cafe. The interior of the restaurant is just gorgeous, with an upscale, sophisticated feel. In spite of that, we felt perfectly comfortable in our casual attire. Our server, while new in his role, got everything right. He was cheerful, attentive, offered great suggestions and made our experience overall a memorable one. Our drinks (Paloma and Martini) were a lovely way to start off the meal. Shortly after warm bread with garlic chive butter arrived at the table, our starter of Baked Brie followed. It was baked in a flaky, turnover-style pastry crust, dotted with Kahlua-soaked pecans, and served with toasted baguette slices. Our entrees (Crab Cake and Grilled Ahi Tuna) were delicious and cooked to perfection. We wrapped up our meal with a shared slice of Key Lime pie - a decadently scrumptious finish. All of the staff here were friendly and helpful. We could not be more pleased and would definitely visit again if we return to Hilton Head. One tip for anyone who wants to make a visit to Truffles Cafe and is NOT staying on the island. There is a $9 entrance fee at the gate to enter the island and you’ll need to be prepared to pay that to enter and visit the restaurant. Thanks so much for the lovely meal and service! Would highly recommend.”
“It's pricey, but the food was fantastic! Halibut was sooo delicious and the chicken parm special was tender and delish too! Very attentive staff. Our server, Jodi, was outstanding!”
“Atmosphere, food, and service was excellent. Beware of share charges!!! There was a $4 split charge for a wedge salad!! Im sorry but charging to share a salad is tacky!!!”
“We had dinner at LULU's twice during our stay on HHI in March. Both times the food was exceptional. We tried the peach BBQ salmon dish, the Pan Roasted halibut, the Bouillabaisse, and the Bone-in pork chop. My wife is still raving about the Bouillabaisse! As for me, I just can't pick a favorite as they all were great. The service was excellent too. We had Taima, also know as T, for our server, She was awesome. She knew the menu very well and has a great personality. Already looking forward to our next trip to HHI and dining at LULU kitchen. The prices are very reasonable for HHI, no issues with the prices.”
“Charlie was excellent and we appreciated his kindness We were questioned not once but TWICE on arrival as to why we parked in a handicap spot - despite the fact that we had his handicap placard displayed - my 55 yr old husband recently endured a heart transplant - AND WAS ACTIVELY recovering - it made for an awkward scene in the presence of his three grown sons - for a proud man - I recommend some kind of hospitality training for your staff - why make your guests go through this embarrassing situation - we plan on making the ADA aware. Disgraceful.”
“We were only A Party of 3.We Attended Nectar The Waitress was Super Friendly and very accommodating The Food was Excellent down to The Soup of the day.Will be returning if Ever back in SC.”
“Best burger I’ve had in years! The service was great, the views of the golf course were incredible and the menu had a lot of options that made it hard to choose - but very glad I landed on their winning burger!!”

Takeout Restaurants
“This bustling little bakery is so cute with a cozy and Parisian vibe. Their desserts are all gorgeous and taste incredible. They had such a wide variety and something for everyone. Their coffee menu was also extensive. We got a Raspberry Love and Ultimate Bon Bon and they were both incredible. The employees were so sweet to us and the service was very quick. Definitely a must stop for dessert lovers. They had tons of French desserts as well as crazy croissants and breads. An incredible little place.”

“A place with many locationsTheirSouvenirsClothesCoffeeIcevery cool)The service is very friendly and cozyThe husband and father liked the foodThey took it with themCorn chips $5”
“Food was great and the service was fast. Its a small cozy restaurant, they also offer outside seating and plenty of parking. Prices were decent. We had a lot of food but totally forgot to take pics so my pics are what we had left over, pinto beans, rice and salsa. The asada tacos were amazing and fajitas were amazing. Lots of food on the fajitas. Cheese dip was good too. Overall we had a good experience.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu”
“I highly recommend this ice cream shop. There are so many choices to select from. The ice cream is the best I have ever eaten. Four trips this week. Trying to decide which flavor to try tomorrow. And the service is outstanding. I am giving this place five bravos. (Stars)”
“Found this place via "locals" page for Hilton Head. Almost didn't post a review so that others won't know how good it is! Had the shrimp burgers and crab cakes. WOW! Great food, solid prices. Very crowded on a Tuesday night but worth the wait. Definitely going back!”
“This place is the best! Amazing food and friendly service. The po boys are delicious and so is the brocolli and raisin salad. I dream about the beignets mmm A must try for HHI/Bluffton!”
“We had the Smoked Salmon Benedict and the Sun Rise Benedict… AMAZING!!! Not only was the food great, but the atmosphere and the staff were amazing. Service was also quick. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!! Thank you Palmetto Bay!”
“Ample seating and parking. Great service and good food. Good cappachinos! I had the early bird, and my wife had the crepe with Nutella. Both were excellent! Definitely coming back.”
“Absolutely delicious!! Best bakery food I’ve had in a very long time! Such kind, funny, and accommodating staff. They went above and beyond! Here for vacation but will be returning for breakfast for the rest of our trip!”
“Tonight first time at Jinya Ramen bar, service and staff excellent, food delicious, highly recommended, only advice , menus are hard to read (small print, low lighting) will improve......”
“I love the Mexican theme, but if you don't, don't judge this place by its appearance. The food is master Yoda level. I had the chicken fajita burro along with the perfect salsa bar selection and came away very satisfied.”
“Was so worried this was going to be tourist trap next to our condo. Was so happy to find out its not. Food was great and the price was as well. Had lamb gyro and fries and it was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt as well. Would come here for lunch frequently.”
“Typical Japanese/sushi restaurant. I had a regular sushi entree it was good and well presented. My wife had the shrimp tempura appetizer. It was excellent. I will definitely revisit when I visit Hilton Head in the future. Next time I will try their ramen bowl.”
“This place is phenomenal. We sat right next to the band which I was worried would be too loud but it was spectacular. Ear Candy is a band with 3 incredibly talented musicians, these people are world class. The service was fun and friendly. The food is outstanding. We had the crab stuffed oysters and the Northern special. Both were delicious. Our drinks were perfect. Our peach dessert was to die for and our guests enjoyed the peanut butter chocolate dessert. You have got to try this place. We will be back.”

“What A Big Suprise for Healthy Meals !!! , Thanks ? Again "Sarah " for Your Excellent Service and Great ? Food ? Choices...Food 10 /10 ...Atmosphere 10/10...Quality 10/10....Freshness 10/10..”
“Desmond took my order today with such enthusiasm and politeness I just couldn’t leave before I wrote this review this gentleman is a 10/10 employee thanks for the awesome service!”
“Love this location for it's staff! They have been greeting us outside (drive thru) in the mornings with a smile. The ladies showered our youngest child with stickers and my drink even had a sticker on the lid with a positive quote! Little things like this mean so much these days. Keep up the great work and stellar customer service.”
“Super friendly staff and really made us happy we stopped in! They were really slammed when we stopped in & everyone was so nice. We returned a few times through our stay & everyone was so nice.”
“Burgers were good, better than standard fast food for sure but not nearly as big as the pictures would suggest and could go for some Lawry's or something to bring out flavor. Fries and tater tots were both subpar, from the tots I'm pretty confident in saying they just need to turn the fryer oil temp up and or double fry them since they were on the soggy side and not browned.The chicken tenders were actually surprisingly flavorful and tasted homemade, a nice break from the typical Sysco tenders you find. I don't see why people are complaining about price, the meals were all $9ish which is very fair for non McDonald's/Wendy's burgers.”
“The Gentleman working the Day after Thanksgiving was Amazing!Polite, Professional, and went above and beyond to make my 2 little Kings feel Special!Definitely Management material!”
“I am a regular Customer and I wanted to say how satisfied I was with the Manager “ Amanda Williams “ for making sure I got my points from a large purchase!Being so busy when I picked up my order we forgot to put my points on my app!She definitely took the situation into her own hands and made sure it happened!!Thanks again “ Amanda Williams” for stepping up to the plate!!I appreciate your professionalism in this matter and thank you as well for your great employees and that they can rely on you !”
“A friend and I grabbed a quick lunch after being on the beach. The food is typical Wendy's, but it was good. The employees were nice and efficient. The dining area and restroom were clean.”
“I only use drive through. However, this particular location throws their sandwiches together. And just like everyone knows. You will never get the same burger you see in the ad. Mainly because these workers could care less about the service that's provided. And the companies care less than that.”
“Love this place. The atmosphere is fun. The service is excellent. And their pizza is fabulous! A shout out to the bartender tonight ...she made the best dirty martini on the island!!!!!”

Drinks were fantastic !The food here is great and served hot but our favorite was the dessert sopapillas which you usually can only find in Colorado and New Mexico!”
Cheap Eats
“I first saw Stu's on TripAdvisor. It was hard to find with GPS but just remember it is on the street side of Piggly Wiggly. It was worth the search. We bought 4 subs and a Taco. They were all amazing! This will be a go to in the future for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner on our holidays on Hilton Head Island.”
“Wonderful Mediterranean food! Excellent Falafels, Falafel sandwiches, Hummus, Babaganoush and pita bread. Their Spanikopita is outstanding, and they have a mixed grill wrap that was the highlight of 2 of 4 of our visits in the last two weeks. Thank you for being there!!”
“Their prices were surprisingly good for a bar right on the beach/ at the pool. We had the burger and grilled fish sandwich - both were great and better than you'd expect for pool food. Food came out very quickly considering how crowded they were, and the staff was really kind. I would absolutely recommend it!”
“Pretty good spot! The iced chai tea latte was so so good. Perfect amount of spice and it was just so so yummy. The menu is pretty extensive, with lots of vegan and gluten free variations. The service was good, they just seem short staffed. I got a belgian waffle which was pretty good, but $10.50 for just one waffle seemed pricey. It was super yummy though! Definitely would love to go back to try some coffee and pastries!”
“Excellent biscuits and gravy, friendly service, full coffee cup. I would rate #1 out of about 30-40 coney spots I've visited in 5-6 states. It is run by a Michigan native who knows her stuff.”
“We came to Hilton Head for my bachelorette trip! We’re from Macon GA. It also happens to be my Mama’s Birthday today as well (04/01). I woke up early this morning & got her a few gifts & then got to wondering if Hilton Head had a cute pastry place. I looked it up and drove to Paris Baguette.It was absolutely SO cute! The atmosphere is amazing. The pastry’s are displayed perfectly & I love that you can get them yourself! Samantha bagged them up for me after I got a plate full & she as well made my large caramel macchiato. I completely forgot to ask for it iced. I asked her to throw some ice in the cup & she was so sweet about it! Samantha was professional yet so personable!! After I left I went back to our condo, decorated, set up my Mamas gifts along with her orange justice and pastry’s from Paris Baguette. My Mama loves pastries & she said these were the best!!! We loved it so much we’re most likely stopping by on the way home tomorrow morning. 100/10!!”
“Updated April, 2024. Food and prices are great. Service is good. We ate here twice during our HHI stay. The first time we ate outside, there was no live music, and it was very enjoyable. The second time we came was on a weekend. The live music seemed very loud outside (had to yell to talk to the receptionist), so we opted to be seated inside. Unfortunately, with all hard surfaces inside, it was incredibly loud inside as well. Go when there is no live entertainment and sit outside.”
“So happy we found this cute cafe! My daughter, who is celiac, and I stopped here at the end of our visit to Hilton Head, as we were leaving to drive back home. So many options and all gluten-free, which is such a delight!! Everything looked good, it was hard to choose!The staff were all super-friendly and patient as we mulled our choices since there were so many. My daughter had the GF breakfast bagel sandwich. They offered me a regular one that they could prepare in a separate kitchen but I declined and got the GF frittata instead. All delicious!We took home a variety of baked goods as well. My daughter especially liked the carrot cake-red velvet cupcake and the coffee cake. But they were all so good! Can’t wait to come back here next time we are in Hilton Head!”
“This little unassuming spot is a treasure that is unique in Hilton Head and has survived and prospered throughout good times and bad, through peak season and pandemic, serving healthy, fresh, and delicious dishes.Great for takeout and eating in or out.Tommy A”
“My wife and I had my birthday lunch here (7th March '24) the food was excellent, very tasty and well presented in a beautiful setting.I can highly recommend this place....we will be back.Michael Dunn CG ...former chef to HM Queen Elizabeth II (16yrs)”
“Becoming my own personal tradition and highlights of my trips to Hilton Head, grabbing a poke bowl (because no else in my family is wild about it), maybe even an açaí bowl and enjoying it while my kids play at the lowcountry celebration park across the street. It’s either an easy walk or there’s a nice pick up window where you can order ahead of you want to picnic at the park. Great poke. Fresh and delicious. Definitely one of my happy places on HHi.”
“Cutest place we have been all trip. My friends and I all came down for an early thanksgiving and this was the highlight of our dessert experiences. The gelato was amazing, I got 2 scoops of dark chocolate on a red velvet cone and it was the richest chocolate gelato I’ve ever had. We met the owner, Nona, and she was so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely stop by here before you leave the island.”
“Delicious as always! Fiesta Fresh is an island institution!I have been coming to Fiesta Fresh at its 1st location since I was a child and it always delivers on quality!!Parking: It's a nice,not sketchy parking lot”
“Small local shop. We shared a chopped house salad, cheesy bread and a Meg’s Margherita and bubba’s baby. The food and staff were top tier. I’m so glad we got off the beaten path for a local gem. Def recommend anytime.”
“Really tasty food and a nice change of pace for the area. Liked it so much we came back a second time on the same day! Really enjoyed the oxtail, brown stew chicken, grouper bites, and shrimp. Think they get some of their seafood from the local fishmonger that shares their driveway.”
“Very good food and service, we got there15 minutes before closing and our server was nice and didn't rush us, we were quick and they were not worried about it, ty so much for your kindness , food was perfectly cooked!!!”

“It's pricey, but the food was fantastic! Halibut was sooo delicious and the chicken parm special was tender and delish too! Very attentive staff. Our server, Jodi, was outstanding!”
“Attended an event there and they had everything you really need: drinks including plenty of beer choices they brew there, tasty food, indoor seating, outdoor seating on their porch and a firepit with seating. Friendly service. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend.”
“Best meal I have had down here yet. By a long shot…the shrimp and grits?!? Stupid good. The pimento cheese dip? Seriously. It’s just above anything else. Service was prompt. We sat outside under a large canopy/tent/umbrella. Fun vibe. Would absolutely come back again. Maybe even tomorrow…!Wheelchair accessibility: Not bad. They have a side gate to get in which is a bit gentler ramp than the one on the main entrance.”
“Atmosphere, food, and service was excellent. Beware of share charges!!! There was a $4 split charge for a wedge salad!! Im sorry but charging to share a salad is tacky!!!”

“Friend driving from south Florida back home to New Jersey stopped to visit and select Poseidon for dinner.I have celiac, so always searching for restaurants with options. Poseidon has an extensive gluten free menu and will take multiple visits for me to try everything.We each ordered a wedge salad. Unfortunately, they failed to deliver one to my friend. Had to flag down server. He said a second wedge salad was not ordered, but will take care of and delivered within a minute or so. The strange part is when we initially placed our order, the server read our order back to us for confirmation.The wedge salad was presented on a nicely chilled plate, which is key. Salad is well prepared and more going on than the standard wedge salad. The wedge includes tomatoes, bacon, boiled egg, cucumbers, onions and bleu cheese dressing. Well prepared and looking forward to having again soon.Friend ordered the mixed grill. Steak cooked perfectly rare as ordered. Meal was very good and crab cake was excellent.I selected the jambalaya, which is filled with plenty of items and not just a bowl of rice. The portion is on the larger side, and currently I am a tad overweight, so perfect for big boned old guy. A touch of heat at the end of each bite making it even better.A little carrot cake and gluten free chocolate cake to finish it off. Both very good.A little takeaway order of grilled chicken and baked sweet potato for my boy Handsome Sammy. Three point five paws up.Definitely plan to return and begin my little journey through the remainder of the gluten free menu.To round it out, great views as well.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian selections including vegetarian short ribs.Dietary restrictions: Separate gluten free menu with plenty of options.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu including the all time favorite, noodles, butter & cheese”
“Best BBQ you'll ever have! LOVED the ribs and brisket was very juicy! Left too full (but not too full to never come back!) I want this place in Rochester, Minnesota!”
“What a fantastic bar. No matter what game is on. They have the best TVs and good food. If you happen to be a Baltimore Ravens fan, they have a reputation is being a Baltimore Ravens bar and they have good crowds of Baltimore Ravens fans that show up. The ambience and the customer service is good as well”
“Great food! Stopped for lunch before leaving town and had a burger and some sweet potato fries. The burger was and the sweet potatoes fries were probably the best I've ever had. (Think McDees fries in the 80s but sweet potato). Our waitress was from Avon Lake, OH and she was super sweet! Will definitely plan on getting lunch here again when I'm back in September!”
“Dad gets stuck shopping with wife and daughters. Discovers the Carolina Tasting Room with a great selection of local brews on tap. YAY! Friendly staff and all sorts of tasty adult treats. Two thumbs up! Wine slushies? Genius!”
“This place is a little oasis! We only discovered it on the tail end of our trip and wished we had found it sooner. We rode bikes on the beach from Coligny Colony.”
“Sat at the bar, and were greeted warmly by Adam, the bartender. Exceptionally nice sports bar, well laid out with outdoor areas for dining or having drinks. Adam was very cordial. Food was very good. Had a nice made to order salad, selecting a base of spinach or various lettuces, then can add assorted toppings. Reuben sandwich was also.very good. Nice place for lunch!”
“We had a party of 8, our reservation table was ready. Our server Tyler was right there to welcome us, take our drink orders and promptly returned with our drinks. Told and explained the specials for the evening. Took our appetizer orders. Brought out their delicious sliced bread and dipping sauce. Took everyone's order and all food came out together and delicious. The entire experience was excellent.”
“This is one of the best coffee shops on the island, the breakfast panini is amazing and the coffee I really enjoyed, and was way better than Starbucks. Larry was so fun to hang out with and we enjoyed when he came by for some casual conversation.”
“We had such a great and welcoming experience here tonight. We met owners’ entire family and received the best care. The fried pickles were the best! I definitely got the impression they put a lot of care into their ingredients and a little of love into their customers. We will def be back!!”
“Typical Japanese/sushi restaurant. I had a regular sushi entree it was good and well presented. My wife had the shrimp tempura appetizer. It was excellent. I will definitely revisit when I visit Hilton Head in the future. Next time I will try their ramen bowl.”

“Went here with my family for my fathers birthday. I messed up my reservation and without hesitation they accommodated us. Our server Ryan was awesome she was very attentive and her personality was great. She made our visit a great experience.Kid-friendliness: We had our 3 year old with us and the wait staff interacted with him great.”
“A regular location for us. Sydney was knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Also met Colin. Cared about our experience and we enjoyed meeting him. As always, food was excellent. We thought the salmon could have used a little bit of garnishing to improve the presentation. The potato leek soup was a nice starter. The bourbon bread pudding was outstanding.”
“We love Alexander's, great atmosphere, the view of the stream passing by, the ambiance, and the staff are all great. The prime rib was a bit tough which is unusual as I have had it several times previously. We'll certainly be back!”
“Dined at lunch. Had the Asian influenced salad. Husband had fish and chips. Started with shrimp app at recommendation of server. It was delicious with 6 large shrimp. Broth it was in was like a delicious soup. Yummy to dip the bread in too. Most impressive atmosphere too. Beautiful instaworthy surroundings IMO. Try to get one of the 2 top tables along the right side with large leather armchairs if you are a party of 2! Loved it! Would go again and definitely recommend. See pictures attached for what we ordered.”
“One of our favorite places we dined for dinner while on our first trip to HHI. We both started with the delicious beet salad and I got crab cakes for entry and husband the roasted chicken. We enjoyed both. Would go again and would definitely recommend.”

“Pretty good food! A reliable spot it seems; good came out quick and they had an excellent brunch menu with $5 mimosasVegetarian options: California Benedict and a few others”
“A must stop for us when we are here. The Coffee Marinated Ribeye is my absolute favorite steak anywhere. The meatballs are also killer. There are plenty of other options as well. Plus they sell the dry ingredients for the marinade. :)”
“A favorite of ours for group occasions or dinner. Plenty of meat! Great service and a nice salad bar!(sometimes, we come just for the salad bar and soups). Try the grilled pineapple ? and the deserts too.”
“Great meal. Cornbread appetizer left something to be desired but the rest of the meal hit it out of the park. I had the bisque and want to go get more now. Ha. Loved it.”
“Love the water front dining experience here. You'd think with Hilton Head being an island that there might be more chances to have that but there are not. We enjoy the dinners here but the long wait can sometimes damper the experience especially with small children, so come early. The food is always good but nothing had ever jumped off the plate as spectacular or amazing. Again the service is always good but with the large crowds and volume of business sometimes the attention to detail for personalized service goes unnoticed. However there's never been anything that would prevent us from coming back and we look forward to our next visit to give it another try.”
“Had an amazing dinner. The sushi rolls were fresh and the tempura batter was perfectly fried. Enjoyed the raspberry sakatini as well. Definitely putting this restaurant in our rotation when here on our yearly visit.”
“Great steak; our server, Steven, was attentive for the most part, but service dragged toward the end.My wife and I shared a porterhouse, and it was cooked to perfection. Quality was excellent, too!We shared a Crem Brule for dessert, and it was good, too!We will come back!”
“We visited to celebrate our Aunt's birthday. To enter the restaurant, you have to pay a minimum of $9 (per car) at the security gate, which wouldn'tbe too much of a problem. But, they only take cash. Because our party size was over 20 people, this required a trip to the ATM.. The security guard advised that the restaurant would apply a $9 credit to our bill once we arrived.When we arrived, there was very limited parking. There is no fee for parking. The restaurant had an antique setting. Our party was seated in a private area upstairs, which was cozy but was set up really nice. The servers were very attentive, especially given our large party size.The food was pretty good. The seasoning is average on the meat and nonexistent on the veggies. The chocolate mousse cake was my favorite. It was very light and not overly sweet. Get the pasta dish! One of my family members ordered it. I tasted it, and it was delicious.We arrived early for our Aunt's surprise birthday dinner. While we were waiting for close to 45 minutes, we were asked if we wanted to order drinks and apps. We asked if the app orders would be brought out while waiting and was told that they would. We placed app orders that never came. When we checked, we were told that they were waiting for everyone to arrive....smh. Complimentary bread is provided. However, it wasn't served until after an hour of being seated.The serving team was well-versed in the menu and was very attentive, despite the bumps with the apps and bread. I also appreciated the amount of patience that they had with everyone.Overall, the restaurant, food, and service was good.”
“4.5 ⭐️ Ate at a bar 2 person high top which was nicer than expected. Service was prompt and some of the best we had while on HHI. Had the veal piccata, started with arugula salad (forgot to snap photo), chicken parm (husband said it was ok) and finished with hot chocolate dessert. Definitely try this dessert! I would dine again and recommend.”
