    This was our 1st time here, wonderful experience. We are staying in HH for a month, and I decided to bring home a frozen eggplant parmigiana for a future dinner while here. We will definitely be back!

    One of our favorite Hilton Head restaurants. We go there every time we are here. The Market Cafe has a great atmosphere and the staff are always welcoming and responsive. We split a fried burrata salad which was excellent. My wife had the spaghetti with crab and I had the chicken parmigiana. Both were delicious with just the right portions. They have a nice wine by the glass selection but maybe could offer some options closer to $10. Will be returning soon.
