“We stopped for an afternoon nosh. Very nice. After receiving such wonderful service we decided to return for dinner and were not disappointed! All around fantastic.”
“An Unforgettable Anniversary at Michael Anthony's A True Food Lover’s Paradise For our wedding anniversary, we wanted something special, and Michael Anthony’s delivered on EVERY level. As Hilton Head’s premier Italian fine dining destination, they excel not only in impeccable service and warm hospitality but also in creating a culinary experience that any true Epicure would appreciate. From the moment we sat down, our server, Eleanor, made the evening even more remarkable. Her knowledge of each dish was extraordinary, and her attentiveness to every detail ensured that we were taken care of without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to encounter such dedication to making sure every aspect of the meal is perfect, and Eleanor truly enhanced our experience. The evening began with a bottle of 2021 Tenuta Di Arceno Chianti Classico—a stunning wine with aromas of cherries, and strawberries. Its elegant balance made it the perfect companion to the meal, enhancing each bite without overshadowing the vibrant flavors on our plates. My A5 Wagyu ribeye was simply divine, cooked to perfection with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that only Wagyu can deliver. It was a symphony of rich flavors, each bite more indulgent than the last. My wife’s Ravioli di Vitello al Tartufo Nero was outstanding. A harmonious blend of House made veal ravioli topped & black truffle sauce. Both dishes epitomized the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. One of the true standouts of the night was the Raviolo al’Uovo con confit d’Anatra. This dish was a revelation! An unexpected, yet beautifully balanced combination of flavors that demonstrated both creativity and precision. The delicate pasta, rich duck confit, and perfectly runny egg yolk created a dish that was not only visually stunning but an absolute pleasure to eat. Another unexpected delight was the Insalata d’Anatra con Albicocca e Burrata. A light and refreshing salad featuring succulent duck, sweet apricots, and creamy burrata. It was the perfect prelude to the main courses, showcasing a masterful understanding of balance and texture. Venturing into new territory, I tried the Polpo alla Griglia, my first experience with octopus. Grilled to perfection, the octopus had a surprisingly tender, almost steak-like quality that was enhanced by a smoky char. It was a revelation for me both unfamiliar and yet incredibly satisfying. For starters, we couldn’t resist the Peach and Plum Salad with Scallops. The sweet, ripe fruit paired beautifully with the perfectly seared scallops, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to sourcing only the finest seasonal ingredients. Every bite was vibrant, fresh, and utterly delicious. As if that weren’t enough, the desert menu demanded our attention. The Tiramisu was nothing short of perfection!espresso and rum-soaked ladyfingers layered with a light mascarpone mousse and topped with a dusting of cocoa and caramel drizzle. Hands down, the best Tiramisu I’ve ever tasted. The Sformata di Cioccolata con Gelato Vanilla Rich, molten-centered chocolate cake served with creamy vanilla gelato was a chocolate lover’s dream. The baked peach stuffed with oats and pine nuts was another winner. It was refreshing, light, and oh so exciting to my tongue. It had a similar presentation to a small coffee cake, but packed a flavorful punch of peach cobbler. Finally, the Affogato, a dessert that was new to me but instantly became a favorite. Vanilla gelato drenched in rich espresso, chocolate sauce, Kahlua, and whipped cream. It was an indulgent, yet perfectly balanced way to finish the evening. Michael Anthony’s isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. From the perfectly executed dishes to Eleanor’s exceptional service, every detail is designed to make you feel pampered. For anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine with a creative twist, Michael Anthony’s is simply a must. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience, Michael Anthony’s will not disappoint! We are planning our next trip already”
“Food is great! My husband and I visit every time we are at HHI. Their clams strips are the best we have EVER had. The hush puppies are delicious as well. This visit I tried their crab cake from the waiters suggestion. It was this "Marylander" approved! Thanks Rich for the recommendation and great service! See you on the next visit.”
“We had a great experience here! The food was incredible my husband and I both got the market fish and it was delicious and tasted so fresh my husband’s mother got the stuffed flounder and said that was incredible aswell! Our server faith was very attentive and also recommended other places in the area to visit I would highly recommend”
“Outstanding! We stopped today for lunch while shopping and were greeted by a lovely lady at the front station. We were immediately seated and served the best meal that we have had since arriving on the island. I ordered the meatball appetizer and lunch portion of rigatoni with vodka sauce and the hubs ordered the calamari appetizer and ravioli with bolognese sauce. The portions were huge, the ingredients were fresh, and everything was absolutely delicious! Prices are reasonable, atmosphere was very pleasant...will absolutely return each time we visit HHI.”

“We’ve been to both the lounge for a nice date and the oceanfront dining with our toddler and love both. Tushar was our server when we had our toddler and he was very accommodating, I swear he got my son’s food served within ten minutes which was nice because we were only able to get a late reservation for the evening so our son was pretty tired by the time we sat down. I ordered a mule and the Sweet Corn Risotto, both were delicious. The risotto was a great mix of flavors including fried shrimp, pickled red onions, and cotija cheese.
After dinner, we split up and some of us went upstairs to the lounge to get drinks. Thomas was busy but made our drinks exactly as we liked them once he was available. We originally asked if we could sit on the patio outside but there were no servers available so we sat with Thomas at the bar. After we ordered a second drink, the host offered to help us carry our drinks out to the patio if we still wanted to sit outside. I didn’t catch his name but he was very sweet about it, we declined but appreciated it. I don’t think a Moscow mule was even on their menu as an option but both Tushar and Thomas were willing to make them for me.
I highly recommend this location for a fancy date or a nice evening out with the family.”
“Horrible manager on 10/13/2022! He ruined my daughter's 5 year anniversary dinner. They were in from out of state to attend a golf tournament and celebrate their anniversary. When it came time for payment the manager came over and told them they don't accept Discover and was really rude and belittled them for not having any other type of payment with them. There are no signs posted that they don't take Discover. The manager said what do you want us to do, sit everyone down beforehand and tell them we don't take Discover. A sign should have been posted. Every other establishment they visited in Hilton Head took Discover. The manager could have been nice about it while they secured another form of payment instead of belittling them in front of everyone. Their waiter was amazing though. Seems they need to promote the waiter as the new manager.”

“9/17/25 was our 2nd trip to Benny's and it did not disappoint either time. Our first trip was last fall when you had just opened & the rooftop was not completed yet. Me, my sister & my niece were delighted with our choices...grouper, seafood cannelloni , Brazilian fish stew...WOW!! But what we were most impressed with was our waiter, Ladrae' Foster, a young 20 year old man. He was lots of fun and very knowledgeable about the menu. We asked LOTS of questions about entrees and he always had the most detailed answer. Excellent service, too! We'll definitely be back!”
“We have been going to Alfred’s during our visits to HHI the past several years…our dinners this trip were just as great as our first visit! The service (Trent, Ian) is excellent; welcoming and friendly, great recommendations. The dinners are always delicious and perfectly prepared. We enjoy the seafood mornay appetizer, Gorgonzola salad, the beef filet (both grilled and au piovre), rack of lamb, beef Wellington; desserts are great too! We’ll be looking forward to coming back on our next visit.”
“Had lunch at Hudson’s for the first time today. Service was impeccable, food was wonderful. Have never had such good hush puppies! Brittany was our server - could not have asked for anyone better.”

“We came to crazy crab and was lucky enough to have Susan as our waitress. Susan is the greatest waitress I’ve had at any restaurant ever. She makes sure we get our food in a reasonable time and we don’t stay thirsty. I would give susan a 100/10 on service and I think she needs a raise.”

“We absolutely loved the house that we rented from Beachside getaway for Thanksgiving ! It was perfect for our family. There was plenty of space and the children especially loveed the pool and hot tub! The staff at Beachside getaway were wonderful to work with and so very nice. Our house was a perfect location great for biking to Harbourtown and everywhere else. I will definitely rent from Beachside getaway again.

“I’m a die hard Cleveland Browns fan, this place is awesome!! My family took me here as a surprise. Amazing food, awesome Browns pictures, flags, signatures from legendary Browns players. The staff were extremely nice and very welcoming. They have hats, shirts etc. that you can buy. Danny and his staff were so cool to show me everything they had Browns. I will remember this place forever!!! Go Browns!!!”
“I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the food. It was all beautiful. The food was spicy - just how I like it and just what I asked for when I ordered. This place had beautiful decor and a 5 star restaurant atmosphere. The waitstaff were all kind and helpful, very understanding about my shellfish allergy. If I could give it a 10/5 star review I would!”
“I got the mahi mahi basket, grilled, and steamed vegetables. Everything was excellent and the price was reasonable. I asked for no salt on the fish, it was perfect. The owner is so calm and nice! Highly recommend this food venue! Going back for ox tail and shrimp. Thank you so much for good food and a good experience!”
“Nonna Marie’s is an HHI treasure! The best homemade gelatos, and different flavors featured every time you go. They also offer delicious coffees and pastries as well! The owners are friendly and fantastic, and really go out of their way to provide friendly customer service. We’ll definitely be back again.”

“If you want the most tasty real ice cream with creative as well as traditional flavors that cannot be beat, visit the Cinnamon Bear Country Store in the Sea Pines neighborhood of Hilton Head! The service and the ice cream is amazing and they are locally owned, no chain ice cream here!! Am Yisroel Chai and Enjoy!!”
“We found this place on our way home and wanted something different from fast food and I must say this place was amazing. The food was amazing. Everyone who worked there was extremely nice. Our waitress was very friendly and made our visit pleasant. We will definitely be back next time we are in Hilton Head. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Husband found this little gem tucked away in a little corner. Arrive early if you would like a seat. Their gyros, spanakopita, chicken kabob and salads are excellent! However, their baklava is a PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH! The only thing that rivals their food is their hospitality. ❤️ This is the best place on the island for authentic Mediterranean! You’re welcome in advance!”
“Wow!!! Not only was the food was great, but the experience was one that made memories. All was made fresh before our eyes. I recommend the Philly Steak & my granddaughter was so l all over the home-fries. It not everyday a visitor finds many places like Harold's. Glad we did!”
“Incredible anniversary dinner for one vegan and one omnivore! The atmosphere was elevated and also very comfortable. Flavors and execution were incredible and we had a terrific experience. We plan to return!”

“Just had dinner there. Had a coupon for a free appetizer. We had a choice of any of the starters so we selected the sampler that had queso, guack, and salsa. Came with fresh warm chips. All were outstanding! I had the steak fajita quesadilla and my wife had the chicken fajita quesadilla. Both were excellent. The manager brought us a to go box and also personally put the remaining salsa and queso in to go cups with lids. We consumed all of the guack! The server then brought us a large bag of fresh chips to take home. Amazing service! We will be back every time we are in HHI.”

“We had the opportunity to dine as dozens of restaurants on Hilton Head, and in our opinion, Stellini's was the best. The food is made fresh and was delicious and the portions were very generous at a reasonable price. The atmosphere was very inviting and the service was excellent. Our waiter Tony was very attentive and answered all of our questions. Great variety of food and the garlic bread was fantastic. The wildlife show was a nice added benefit. We highly recommend this great Italian restaurant.”
“San Miguel's restaurant in Shelter Cove Marina, Hilton Head Island, SC is AWESOME!! I go there several times when I am there for vacation. Be sure to visit Brock and Kim at the outside bar!! They are phenomenal and you will enjoy their service and conversation....very friendly, courteous, and professional!!! I love it at San Miguel's!!!”
“We dined at this restaurant last evening arriving around 5:15 and seated right away. Our server, Hart was awesome and our orders were accurate and he went out of his way to accommodate our requests. The atmosphere was nice but started to get really noisy upon our departure. The hush puppies were delicious and our Bloody Mary was exceptional but the rest of our food was mediocre. I will say my scallops were sweet and tender. Everyone else in our party said their dinners were just ok.”
“Perfect place for some out-of-towners to watch play-off baseball! Lots of TVs, pool tables, and seating options. Definitely has that local ‘dive bar’ feeling but the food was excellent (best patty melt I’ve had in a long time) and service was also great. Thumbs up!”
“Wanted to give a 5 star rating to waiter Sarthak , SAM. His service was fantastic. I ordered a chicken sandwich plain , with no seasoning. It was made as I asked and was delicious. He has a great personality and gives excellent service.. Made our dining experience great.”
“My wife and I had dinner there on Saturday evening We were seated immediately with no wait which was great. We ordered the Texas fajitas with a side of freshly prepared guacamole along with 2 margaritas. Both the food and drinks were excellent. Our server checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure we didn’t need anything else. Great food and great experience.”

“The food was good, but we had a really weird experience at the beginning. My mother and I walked in and requested a table for two. The hostess says “do you have a reservation, we don’t take walk ins.” We didn’t have a reservation so we left. But I was so hungry after just getting off a plane that I didn’t want to search for a new place. I looked up Jane online and made a res for 1:00 (it was 12:49… and there were tons of available time slots). So we walked back in and told the same hostess we had a reservation. Then while we sat and waited 10 min for a table we listened to her tell other walk ins it was a 10 min wait. The whole thing was so strange. I think my salad was good, but definitely annoyed by the initial service (waitress super sweet though).”
“NO BONES ABOUT IT, THE RIBS ARE OUTSTANDING -- my husband and I have eaten at Red Fish every time we've visited HHI in the last 15 plus years. To-date, I've always gone seafood: sea bass, grouper, salmon and scallops. Decided to mix it up and go for the rack of ribs (or should it read raaaaaaaack of ribs). It filled a very large oval dish. Despite the size, the ribs were perfectly cooked, moist, tender, fell right off the bone. The sides of slaw and blue cheese potato gratin were great too. Well done Red Fish, well done. PS -- took half the ribs home and ate them for lunch today.”
“This was my first time at Black Marlin and it was truly outstanding! My best friend and I get mussels at restaurants all over town, and these are some of the best ones we've had so far in the Hilton Head and Bluffton area!! Bryce was our server and took such great care of us!! (Thank you Bryce for making us bread! 🥹) Overall a great experience and would highly recommend! Will be back for sure!”
“Being a local who has been a semi regular customer of this place: the upgrades in terms of the food quality, salad bar offerings, and service are very noticeable under the new ownership/management team. The new manager Michelle made me and my friends feel very welcomed. I am excited to come back soon to see even more of the improvements made. Definitely worth the reasonable price for the rodizio.”
“We have been coming to Hilton Head twice a year for 4 years. This is the first time we visited in the spring and the first time to Celeste Coastal Cuisine. We were absolutely pleased from the greeting as we entered and the great service from our waitress, Deidra. We even received complimentary champagne in honor of our 50th wedding anniversary! The ambience was superb- finally a place where you can hear each other speak and the dinner was delicious. We are due to return in June and it is definitely on our list of restaurants to visit. Thanks again for a wonderful dining experience!”
“This French bakery was hands down the food highlight of our entire trip. When I say the food was amazing, that is truly an understatement — and the prices were honestly incredible for what you receive. On our first visit, Jack was our waiter and he was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful right from the start. I ordered a build-your-own omelette, and it was literally the best omelette I have ever had. I also enjoyed a cotton candy mimosa and an orange juice mimosa — both were not only delicious, but beautifully presented. My boyfriend loved his coffee, and everything he shared with me was just as amazing. The turnaround time for our food was perfect — fast, fresh, and never rushed. The restaurant itself was very clean, and the atmosphere was simple, warm, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Before we left that first visit, we grabbed pastries to go… and oh my — best decision ever. We talked about this place to everyone we came across during our trip and decided we had to stop one more time on our way back home. I was so excited that Jack was our waiter again! I ordered the same omelette, and somehow it was even better the second time. If you’re looking for a breakfast spot — this is it. If it wasn’t a 5-hour drive from home, I would come here all the time. Jack deserves a special shout-out for making both visits so wonderful. Between the amazing food, beautiful presentation, great pricing, perfect service timing, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere — this is honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in my travels, and I’m already looking forward to coming back someday. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Thank you Cactus Cantina for offering Riced Cilantro Cauliflower! So yummy in my veggie bowl. It’s so nice to be able to eat out and eat clean. I love your vibrant decor and your welcoming atmosphere. The Island has embraced you well. Wishing you continued success.”
“My wife and I stopped by as we were heading back to Greenville after a weekend in HHI. Had we known about Origin at the start of the week, I would’ve stopped in each morning. Fantastic service, lovely shop, and incredible drinks. Ordered a seasonal that was so good, I went back inside just to try their espresso and that was fantastic as well! Really quality shop, I’d venture to say the best in Hilton Head!”
“Stopped by the poolside spot at Sweet Cane Bar and Grille at the Sonesta Resort, and it’s exactly what you want in a vacation bar—laid-back and dangerously easy to settle into for a while.
The vibe is relaxed and easygoing, with plenty of spots to lounge by the pool or grab a quick bite between dips. It’s not trying to be fancy—and that’s the charm.”
“A must try, food was fantastic. Everything made fresh and from scratch. Enchiladas were off the hook, corn and ships were so tasty. Soup and drinks were on point. Besides the great food our server Josie was amazing, even being so busy she was so attentive and quick. Thanks, Josie for making our dinner pleasant and enjoyable.”
“Chicken Club was amazing! Philly Egg Rolls were unbelievable with the cheese dip! The wings were very favorable and meaty without being ridiculously big and full of chemicals to make them robust. Great food and atmosphere! Especially with a game area to entertain kids and adults. Don't forget the great beer and friendly staff! Will definitely bring friends here next time.”
“Hands down some of the best scenery on the Island. The bar overlooks all of pope avenue and you can see the beach! However most importantly the food was so good. Its not the largest menu however what they do serve they do extremely well! I got a flatbread margarita pizza and a Jerk chicken taco and let me tell you that taco was one of the most delicious things I ever ate! The server Kirsten was also extremely friendly and made the place feel very welcoming! Food, service and atmosphere 10 out of 10!”
“Really enjoyed brunch. Nice menu choices well prepared. Service was excellent. Looking out over the golf course was very nice. The pace of the meal was very nice also.”
