- 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

- 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
- NNancySouth Carolina •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe've lived on the island for over 20 years and Frankie Bones is our go to restaurant. We like it because of the varied menu options and the excellent service. Our waiter, Julie, was very attentive and friendly. Our food was excellent. Bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer was very good. My penne with chicken was yummy, but the serving was way too large! I'll be having it for lunch for a few days... Husband got the prime rib which came out overdone. Julie immediately took it back and a new perfectly done cut came to the table within minutes! The noise in the restaurant can be a problem, but we were seated in a booth which helped for conversation. We will keep coming back!More infoFrankie Bones Restaurant & Lounge - Hilton Head IslandPrice: Moderate• American• Hilton Head Island•4.8
