50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Hilton Head Island

“This is our third year in a row for the Christmas show. We absolutely love it. The food was delicious. loved the butternut squash soup. The filet was delicious as well. The club is decorated for the Holidays. You can even get your picture with Santa. The only thing I would change on the price fix menu is not everyone drinks alcohol. So if there was a N/A drink to go with the courses that would be great. I also understand that pairing with wine is an easy option. We will definitely be back. Our friends we brought loved it as well. They are going back for a birthday and already talking about next year.“

“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“

“First time visiting this place, after living in the vicinity for a couple of years. We celebrated our son’s 16th at Links and were pleasantly surprised. Tracy was our server, and was knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. The food was superb! We will be back as there are several entrees we would like to try out next.“

“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.“

“Excellent traditional pizza joint played U2 and all !“

“My wife and I had a lovely time. From the Host Wilmer to our server Leona everyone was very attentive. Both cocktails and food were very delicious. Seafood was fresh as well! The view was spectacular, we dined early to get some sunset colors over the ocean sky. Would highly recommend.“

“The food was fantastic. I had the broiled and blackened seafood platter. Very good. The cheese grits were also very good.“

“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.“

“We just ate at Fishcamp. The food was great. The Calimari and pickles were great. My mother-in-law got the stuffed flounder with asparagus and she said that the asparagus was great and she doesn't even like asparagus. My daughter got the peel and eat shrimp boil and she said it was great and took a huge to go box with her. Our server was great. We will be back perhaps before we go home.“

“What a great first experience at Frankie Bones! My hubby and daughter the famous rib eye. They are picky and the Robbie lived up io its name! They were impressed. The chicken Marsala was AMAZING!…next time you visit Hilton head .. make this a definitive stop!“

“I tried the Fried Mac N Cheese burger and that thing almost wrecked me! So much food yet so delicious. My parents loved their food as well. Fries were great, probably a 4.6/5. Service was okay. Nice view onto golf courses; fantastic atmosphere.“

“Had a great meal a Catch 22 on Thursday 2/15/24. Food was delicious and our server, Derick, was the best.“

“Love this place. Oysters are so good and the service is great“

“Great food. Got the pulled pork, mac and cheese, fries and chili. All of it was great. Normally a mustard sauce guy but their vinegar sauce was the best I’ve ever had. We had a group of 10 guys and everyone loved their food. Will 100% be back.“

“We always make sure to eat at the Sea Shack when visiting HHI—best grouper on the island! Got takeout last week, got home and realized we didn’t get our ordered desserts. Not a big deal, called for a refund. Instead, manager brought the key lime pies we ordered and added a banana pudding! Awesome customer service!“

“Delicious and many fun tastes. My 11 year old was literally licking his plate for several of the dishes and said it was his favorite restaurant on the island. The beef stroganoff was so interesting with dill pickle slivers. The chilled cherry soup was amazing. The marinated cucumber salad was so good. Everything was fabulous and our waiter was super friendly,smiley and charming. Great service.great food at @Taste of Europe“

“The portions are big, the food always hot, the flavors are always on point. My husband had the shrimp po boy. Lots of tasty shrimp on it. I had the muffalotta(sp) sandwich which was huge. You really can't go wrong stopping by this place. Highly recommend.“

“My girls and I love Stu’s! I daydream of The Islander and am counting down the days until we are back again. 🤤“

“First time here and we'll definitely return. Great service and really good food. I had the BBQ chicken salad and it was awesome!!!!“

Unfortunately we didn’t make it to all but we did stop by Red Stripes and babyyyy, we were glad we did!! The food was absolutely delicious and totally unexpected.

While enjoying ice cream, we heard the live music coming from San Miguel’s, which grabbed our attention. My 12 year old wanted to stay and listen, so I checked on getting a table. The host was friendly and quick about getting us an outdoor table. Our waitress was wonderful. She was friendly and helpful with the menu. She made sure we were taken care of. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone; date night or family night.“
