Best restaurants near me in Hilton Head Island, SC

Our 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!!!

The whole experience was amazing! Our waitress was personable and attentive. The food was amazing!!!! Started with the French onion soup and the shrimp/calamari appetizer. Wow! Had the WG salad with steak, my husband had the prime Rib. They did not disappoint. We ended with the crème brulle flight. What a way to top off an excellent evening!

I loved the atmosphere, service and food. Our waitress was great! Def would return!

ELA’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!

We'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!
