18 New Orleans Rd, Hilton Head Island

“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.”

Michael Anthony's Cucina Italiana 37 New Orleans Rd, Hilton Head Island Italian • $$$
37 New Orleans Rd, Hilton Head Island

“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.”

807 William Hilton Pkwy Suite 1200, Hilton Head Island

“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.”

Pomodori Italian Eatery 1 New Orleans Rd #1g, Hilton Head Island Italian • $$
1 New Orleans Rd #1g, Hilton Head Island

“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!”

Chez Georges Bistro & Bar 37 New Orleans Rd Suite J, Hilton Head Island French • $$$
37 New Orleans Rd Suite J, Hilton Head Island

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Truffles Cafe 71 Lighthouse Rd, Hilton Head Island American • $$
71 Lighthouse Rd, Hilton Head Island

“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.”

“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.”
