Restaurants near Kiawah Island

“Exactly the type of service you would expect from a high-end restaurant! The view of the Atlantic only added to the atmosphere of a romantic dinner with my wife.”

“We had Preston as our server. Although my kids have had sushi before, it was their first time at a sushi restaurant. He handled it wonderfully & we ate every bite! Highly recommend 😄”

“Each time I come down to stay at our family’s home in Kiawah, we always end up walking down the beach to The Sanctuary’s Bar to end our evening. This year the staff was A++++. I have to give a special shoutout to Nel, Britney & Mr. Wesley for going above & beyond the entire week, each night we visited. From seeing some of us waiting in line & before we even got to the front of the line, knowing & having our drinks ready or to helping my grandmother onto our golf cart as she is handicap. They made our family have the most fun we have had in years down here in Kiawah. We look forward to being back over Easter. Thanks for everyone who took care of us throughout the week!”

“We couldn't have enjoyed a 4th of July celebration anywhere else like this! They had soooo much for the whole family to enjoy! They had food, games, the best entertainment, swimming and so much more! The fireworks show our huge crowd agreed was the best we have seen! I hope it works out for us to be here on the 4th of July again!

Crispy fried chicken, halved figs, candied pecans, hearts of palm, a delicious truffle dressing over some romaine. I mean good gawd almighty.”

“This was our first visit to Cantina 76 on Kiawah Island and we really enjoyed the bartender, the atmosphere & the delicious, well presented cuisine! Highly recommend that you eat here if you’re visiting Kiawah Island. Kudos ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Couldn’t have imagine a better place to celebrate my aunt and uncles anniversary. Best homemade Italian dishes and atmosphere we could ask for!”

“I am giving a combined 4 stars because while this place was good, it is definitely overpriced. I paid $25 for 2 coffees and that just seems outrageous to me. I love coffee and I've tried a lot of different places, none as costly as this. The coffee was also just fine, it wasn't anything special.

The area is very nice though! There's a nature center nearby that had a baby gator, opossum, and much more. While I recommend, just don't plan on finding anything reasonably priced.”

“Good food, good service. Quite a few gluten free options which I was very happy about; they also have a rice pasta that can be substituted in most dishes. Tasty cocktails. Enjoyed the ambiance. Definitely plan to return.”

“the food is delicious and different from other restaurants. the staff is so friendly and the outdoor atmosphere is wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner or a nice night out at the bar.”

“I have coined a phrase “I’m Loyal to Royal”. As a foodie, when it comes to quality food, fresh seafood , great ambiance and amazing staff they have no equal! In the past two years my mission was to try every item on the menu. Finally accomplished that feat and Royal Tern is still a 5 star rating. They also have non-menu specials that knock it out of the ballpark”
