An exceptional meal! The whole experience was wonderful! The service was outstanding and the ambience upscale and classy. We were celebrating our anniversary. A beautiful card rested on the table. Our server brought us complimentary flutes of champagne. My husband began his meal with a winter salad, followed by one of the specials, striped bass. I selected the lamb pappardelle. We ended our meal with key lime pie and blueberry lemon Crème Brûlée. It’s the best brûlée I’ve ever had in my whole life!!! We made our reservations well in advance- a couple of months ago. So glad we did! We will definitely return! Thank you Bluffton Room for a memorable evening!

The Bluffton Room never disappoints. My go to meal is the Elk-it is not on every menu so if your questioning getting it, don't-chef prepares it beautifully. Dana is an amazing part of the waitstaff. Never feel rushed. Always an enjoyable experience.

There are not enough adjectives to properly describe our experience, but I will try. From start to finish, the atmosphere, the staff, and most importantly, the food was outstanding. We will definitely be returning.
