The Royal Tern offers an enjoyable dining experience with superb food. Dishes such as the snapper, oysters, whole fish, scallops, swordfish, halibut, and flounder receive high praise. The atmosphere is fun and perfect for date nights, though it can be a bit loud and crowded, making it a little challenging for kids who must stay at the table. The staff provides great service, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible with a ramp outside. The chocolate budino is also a highlight. Many guests describe it as one of the greatest restaurants on Kiawah Island, with some calling it possibly the best. The ambiance inside is beautiful, and the food is considered to be to die for, with impeccable service. Visitors have enjoyed everything from the beautiful setting to the fresh crab dip, calamari, shishito peppers, and steak. The restaurant is a wonderful choice for special occasions or just a nice date night, offering a spectacular experience from start to finish.
