Restaurants near Sapelo Island National Estuarine Sanctuary

We always enjoy the atmosphere, service and especially the food selection. We tried the crab soup for the first time and it was absolutely outstanding.

My third visit here and each time has been superb. Our server, Jenny was an excellent and very accomodating. The food was very delicious and we enjoyed the atmosphere as usual.

This restaurant consistently has great food and service. Excellent selection of diverse menu items and price points. We shared a cup of blue crab bisque and caesar salad. Both were perfectly prepared with great flavors. Soup was rich and salad nicely dressed. We had the shrimp and grits (lots of sweet shrimp!) and the special grouper on bed of guinoa with mixture of butternut squash, zucchini mixed in. A light sauce on top of fish with red pepper pesto. Grouper pan-sautéd perfectly. Both entrées were good sized portions. Service is personable and timely. We would like to try other restaurants in the area, but always come back to Halyards.

We were seated promptly and the food & drinks were, of course, delicious! But truly, the stand-out wow factor of the whole experience was being served by Chelsea. Her food and drink recommendations were spot on and her vibrant personality and infectious energy really elevated our anniversary dinner experience. 5 stars just for her! Now, for the food, me and my wife loved the salty and rich flavor of the Szechuan noodles (combined with the sausage skewers). I had the ramen and honestly wish I could bottle the broth and keep it at home. We both had mocktails, with a slight favor going towards the spicy and refreshing “The Neutral”. They also followed up with making a spot-on “Cucumber Collins”. Finally, we capped things off with the bread pudding and a side of ice cream. You just have to get the bread pudding. That’s all I can say.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we had brunch on a beautiful Sunday October afternoon. We sat on the top balcony and it was amazing. Food was really good and our waitress was awesome! Will definitely be back for dinner.
