    Lunchtime. Patio dining!
    Amber M.

    We came to the Omni Hotel for a daycation and the Buoy Bar is a restaurant on the premises. We dined there for lunch. The theme is Caribbean so many of the dishes were Caribbean inspired. We sat on the patio. The service was quick and attentive. The food was good but nothing stood out. We only dined there because there were no other options. We spent the remainder of the day on the beach which was adjacent to the restaurant.

    What a great bar inside the Omni Hotel at Hilton Head Island. Seating is outside near the pool and the drinks are surprisingly delicious for a poolside bar! I always expect poolside bar drinks to be weak and watered down, but all of mine were delicious and pretty! Another wonderful thing about this bar is that they have a server come around the pool to bring you drinks while you lounge or swim! And they charge it to your room so you don't have to fumble with payment. Highly recommend!

    Piña colada

    Great bar next to the pool, and also a short walk from the private beach access ramp at Omni Hotel Hilton Head. I got a piña colada and it was perfectly made and so refreshing! It's super casual there, so you can walk up wearing your swimsuit and it's totally fine. Faster service if you just order at the bar. You can order both food and drinks at the bar. It's pretty loud and crowded there in the afternoons, so expect some wait to get your drinks and food.

    I'll be honest - this place exceeded my expectations. We were guests at this resort (the Omni), and this restaurant is poolside. Honestly, we did not necessarily intend to eat here, but our 5-year-old made a friend at the pool, and our two families decided for convenience and to entertain the kids to all grab lunch together at the poolside bar and restaurant. Service was excellent - our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. I ordered the coconut shrimp, my husband had the tuna poke, and my son enjoyed a kid's hot dog and fries. Everything was excellent. The shrimp was crisp and fresh, and the sweet chili sauce was incredible. The tuna also was fresh and came in a generous portion loaded with avocado. The only potential drawback was the cost. I have trouble dropping $65 for a lunch I can eat in my bathing suit. But at least it was tasty, and we had a great time!

    Daiquiri!

    Ah the Buoy Bar! I really enjoyed having you so close to the pool. And your drinks? Quality. Thanks for not charging an arm and a leg for tasty poolside bevs! You're great. The decor? Loved it. I likes the buoys a bunch - added some seaside flair and color. I'd love to replicate the look for our back patio at home.

    Great surprise from Shaniqua n Courtney for or wedding anniversary!

    I barely have words for how great this experience was but thank goodness I do otherwise a Yelp…read morereview would make no sense. We were skeptical about a jazz dinner but from moment one entering the space we knew we were in for a treat. It is a very small and intimate space and our group of 6 got a table right by the stage. Our server was amazing and the menu was epic - everyone ordered something different and so I can't highlight one thing or the other because everyone loved it all. Don't skip out on the after dinner drinks and coffees as well! The performers we had really read the room and picked up on the energy and went through a mix of classics as well as modern like Adele. Everyone was having a great time and even singing along when encouraged. It was a great evening! Tip: Do the earlier show and get there early so you can enjoy your meal in time for dessert and cocktails and coffee once the show starts!!

We came for the early show/dinner and saw Deas Guyz on a Sunday, the music was incredible. I highly recommend seeing them if you can (they play The Jazz Corner every Sunday per the website). Our server was also helpful and great. Shows sell out, so make sure you grab tickets in advance on their website. For dinner, I had the Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail. The steak and lobster were a bit overcooked for my taste, but still tasty. The meal came with mashed potatoes and green beans, both cooked and seasoned perfectly. My mom had the halibut special, and the fish was definitely overcooked as well. For drinks, I had the TJC Hurricane with dinner and the Hershey's Kiss after. Both were probably the best drinks I've had in Hilton Head, strong and delicious. If you like something sweet and chocolatey, the Hershey's Kiss is a must, honestly better than dessert! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Hilton Head.

    Update (2 weeks later): We came back one last time before…read moreheading home, and somehow it was just as good--if not better. The staff continues to impress--attentive, warm, and they actually remembered us, which made the experience feel even more special. We even saw the young gentleman from Croatia again who had taken care of us on a previous visit--he was just as pleasant and even stopped by our table to say hello, which was such a nice touch. We dined later in the evening this time, and it was really special to see the staff, managers, and I believe even the owner all still there together. It felt less like coworkers and more like a family--which says a lot about a place. Food-wise, everything held up to our first visit (which is rare!). I couldn't resist and ordered the beef bourguignon again--still absolutely incredible. We also had escargot (note: it comes with béchamel unless you ask otherwise), and that amazing cassoulet loaded with different meats from the evening--it was spectacular. Safe to say this place is officially our favorite on the island... and yes, I'm still tempted to keep it a secret .

Lots on the menu, but the Oscar goes to Travel Tip: Order SOUPE A L'OIGabNON. Yes, Russell Crowe should have been nominated and won the Oscar this year - Perhaps, the younger generation is ill-informed on WWIi. Chez Georges requires a designer's update. Always, the service is best in Hilton Head. Always, the kitchen is among best in Hilton Head.

We came for the music, and it absolutely delivered but so did everything else. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed and encouraged to slow down, relax, and truly enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was exceptional, and the entire evening felt special. I ordered the Duke Ellington ribeye, and without exaggeration, it was the best ribeye I have ever eaten. As ridiculous as it may sound, time seemed to stop for a moment. Every bite was packed with flavor that hit something deep inside me and took me back to simpler times. It was one of those rare meals that becomes a memory. The experience was so good it almost brought a tear to my eye. Not because it was fancy or expensive, but because the level of care, craftsmanship, and excellence put into that meal was something truly special. My wife ordered the pasta primavera and she described it as simple, light, but packed with flavor. We stayed for hours vibing to the incredible musicianship displayed. The warmth of the staff felt like family. Wish we were local so we could make this a regular date night spot. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. We'll be talking about it for a long time.
