Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Bluffton

Enjoyed a lovely pre-Christmas brunch with family. We are locals and SCD is one of our favorites!

We sat outside and there was nobody else outside. Great food, service was top notch, amazing view and a fantastic dirty martini. A new favorite for us. A nice quiet, romantic dinner before the fun craziness of Christmas. A must do.

We had three appetizers, the Fried Clams, the She Crab Soup and the Escargot. All were wonderful, served with delicious warm French Country Bread to soak up the juices or eat with butter. We also had a Chardonnay and Riesling to pair with them. Then we had the Seared Scallops and the Filet both served with a side salad with great dressing, mixed vegetables, and scalloped potatoes. We swapped plates half way through, so we both had a bit of surf & turf. I changed my wine to Cabernet which was wonderful with the beef. We split Carmel pie for dessert also great.

Arrived for the early dinner. We had reserved outdoors seating. We were greeted quickly and orders taken. Our drinks were brought out immediately and bread/salad followed. My husband ordered the prime rib and I ordered the filet topped with crabmeat/hollandaise sauce. Both were spot on! Service was outstanding as well. A wonderful birthday/early Christmas dinner!

Happily surprised with bubbles for two to celebrate my husband’s birthday!! It was a warm welcome for our first visit. Food was excellent (salmon dish and lobster/shrimp carbonara dish) and service was attentive. Decor is simple but the restaurant was full of people and quite festive. A real gem! Excited to return!
