- TTerriPhiladelphia County •19 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFirst time at this restaurant and it was great! The food was excellent, although I think the shrimp cocktail appetizer was a bit pricey for 4 shrimp. The server was attentive without being overly intrusive. The view was amazing. I would definitely come back here again.More infoSkull Creek Dockside RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.5
- HHankNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOne of my favorite restaurants in Hilton Head for the last 10 years. Gets it right in all categories from ambiance, service, food and drink. Reasonably priced, great menu with choices in many categories. Never feel rushed and always leave satisfied. Also enjoy walking the meal off by taking time walking around the harbor taking in the shops and boats anchored .More infoELA'S On the WaterPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.7
- PPattieVIPPittsburgh / Western PA •38 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoA Monday evening dinner at Charlie’s never (ever) disappoints. The service was perfect- attentive but not intrusive. The tuna and the mahi were cooked perfectly. They barely beat out the incredible scalloped potatoes. The flan was silky and rich. And the meal was accompanied by a lovely CA Chardonnay.More infoCharlie's Coastal Bistro (L'etoile Verte)Price: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.8

Both were outstanding. Lobster & Crab wontons to start. Excellent. Wedge was great for me and tomato bisque for her. Capped it off with an incredible Apple crisp. Sat on patio with dog under heaters. Only ones out there. Chad was our waiter he was spectacular. Treated us so well. Took great care of him. He’s an incredible asset. Can’t wait to come back when we are back in town next year. Our first time and we loved it.More infoWiseGuys Steak & LoungePrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Hilton Head•4.6
