“I live in Sun City so I find this place convenient and affordable for breakfast, lunch and dinner.The renovations last year are nice but I do miss the old bar with the original architectural renderings, golf balls, etc. I'm a 'foodie' so I don't come here when I want the fish fresh caught today or something exotic. But when I'm hungry and craving a BLT, soup, salad, eggplant parmesan or potato skins, they deliver every time. They never disappoint!I love the bartenders too. If you're lucky Chrystal will serve you best.“
“This is by far my favorite restaurant in Hilton Head / Bluffton!!! The wait staff is top notch, the food is amazing and the drinks are delicious. Desserts are homemade and you must save room for the chess pie. You will not be disappointed!!“
“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!“

“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.“
“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!“

“OpenTable worked well. Restaurant called to confirm and very nicely verified my special request. Our 5:15 reservation entitled us to deals on cocktails and starters. Our main server was Jenn. Top notch and well supported by other staff. Our pasta and seafood dishes were excellent, the shared salad was split in the kitchen and beautifully presented to our table. We finished with a shared Lemoncello Tiramisu that was perfect. We were treated as well as the well known regulars were. They seem to do a brisk takeaway business as well. 5 stars all the way!.“
“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.“
“Lovely dinner. Two great dinners: a pasta bolognese and a special featuring scallops. Wish there were more gluten free options for a side! Love to see ( more) Italian wines on the menu. Service was very good, and ambiance is warm and friendly.“

“What a cute little find while on the island! This was our go to everyday since we were traveling with our 3 kids! The slushies were delicious, the kids got the non alcoholic ones and thought it was the coolest thing! Definitely a huge recommendation, wish we had something like this up here in New Hampshire! Definitely took home some Peach Moonshine until we can replicate those slushies!“

“Took our daughter's family for dinner which is first time we took young ones here. I do not recommend as they have no kids menu and the options are severely limited. We opted for the chicken and waffles, but the boys did not like the chicken much as it was spicier than they like. Plenty of portions but they did not eat much. My prime rib was a bit overcooked and not a middle cut, a lot of waste on the cut. Everything else was really good, drinks, appetizers (oysters), and other dishes. For family meal, this is not a good option and very expensive. We do love coming here with adult couples.“
“The service was amazing and the food was even better. The portion sizes are more than enough. We had to get carry our containers. The hubby had the veal and I had the shrimp and pesto pasta. We will definitely eat here again. We were in town for a quick weekend getaway.“
“We were a little worried about going after we read the reviews. They seemed like they were all over the place. However, we are glad we went. Service was perfect and fast. The Italian rolls with garlic olive oil were amazing. My husband makes similar bread and these seemed homemade. Our entrees were great - we had everything from snapper and mussels, to fettuccine…and we enjoyed it all. The portions for my husband and I were perfect, but my teenage daughters left a little hungry (hard to fill up teenagers!) Going out to eat is always surprisingly expensive, but we would go here again!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian pasta dishes for my vegetarian teenagers.“
“We come to Hilton Head around 8 times a year and eat out most nights. We vary where we eat with one exception - Il Carpacio! We eat here every time we are on the island. Great food and service and prices. They will also make changes to the meals at your request. For example I always order Spaghetti Pirata which is spaghetti with chopped clams mussels and shrimp in a red sauce. I always ask for penne pasta and white wine sauce and it is never a problem and served just how I like it..As long as they have the ingredients they will basically prepare your pasta anyway you like it.“

“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!“
“Met friends for brunch on the way off the island. It was all very good. Rather than go with a main and two sides, we each created our own brunch plate by combining sides. Everything was artfully conceived and created, with the flavors melding nicely. The space is rather small, so the four of us ended up at a communal table with another group of four, but with an open seat between us on both sides. That could have been a little tight with 10 at the table, but it worked out just fine. Pleasant space, though, for being small.“
