- GGregoryVIPChicago / Illinois •24 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur Absolute “Go To” restaurant on the island! Everything about Charlie’s is fantastic. The menu entrees are changed daily depending on availability of their fish options. We have had many of the appetizers but generally go back to their escargot. You will always have a great entree and the Pave’ Chocolat for dessert is a must try. Highly Recommended!!!More infoCharlie's Coastal Bistro (L'etoile Verte)Price: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head Island•4.8
- DDebraSouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 2 days ago10 out of 10!! Started with perfectly crafted cocktails and the most cozy ambiance. The wedge salad was by far the best version we’ve ever had. Ordered the Tomahawk steak, cooked perfectly as requested, literally melted in your mouth. We’ve been to top steakhouses in NY city and Bowdie’s was right at the top with them! Coffee and dessert were also delicious and spot on. The service was impeccable, we are counting the days until we return!! Thank you Bowdie’s!!More infoBowdies Chophouse - Hilton HeadPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Hilton Head Island•4.7
- DDempseySouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoELA’S On the Water was the perfect spot for our Valentine’s Day dinner. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, with stunning waterfront views that made the evening feel extra special. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive—and every course was beautifully presented. We started with a delicious appetizer, followed by perfectly cooked entrées that showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors were outstanding, and the wine selection complemented our meal perfectly. To top it off, dessert was an absolute treat. The ambiance, food, and service all combined to create an unforgettable night. Whether for a romantic evening or a special celebration, ELA’S is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be returning!More infoELA'S On the WaterPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hilton Head Island•4.7
- RRobertJacksonville / Northeast Florida •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOmbra is my favorite Hilton Head restaurant for date night. I had the special ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce. It was cooked to perfection and delicious! Great food, great service, great ambiance. Probably not the best for kids, but I have brought them before….More infoOMBRA Cucina ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Hilton Head Island•4.7
- DDaenaVIPSouth Carolina •72 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMA’s is the #1 restaurant to celebrate anything and everything in the HHI/Bluffton area. Service is outstanding, no matter who your server is. We had Eleanor (again) and she is fabulous. Very attentive and knowledgeable and helpful. The food is consistently wonderful. We’ve never had anything less than stellar at MA’s. While the ambience is nice, I feel like MA’s could use a bit of a touch-up.More infoMichael Anthony's Cucina ItalianaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Hilton Head Island•4.8
