Great experience, busy on a Monday at lunch but they were able to seat us right away. Huge drink and food menu, we loved everything we ordered especially the southern poutine, this may be the least overwhelming poutine I have ever tried, great ratio of chips, gravy and meat. The seafood was great tasting too. We definitely want to come back and try more dishes. Why have I not been here before, love this place! read more

Time and Date; March 28 at 6:57pm Staff: Friendly and welcoming Ambiance: Nice environment Prices: Average or above average depending on the food you get off the menu Starter: Crab Cake Entree: Half Fried Chicken Side: Bradford Sweet Fries Dessert: Triple Layer Chocolate Cake Starter: Crab Cake was delicious. The salad it came with was decent, not to my taste buds but could be for yours. All of the food was fresh. The hollandaise was pretty good, first time trying hollandaise as well. Entree: Half Fried Chicken was okay. The creamy Mac and Cheese and Bacon Collard were delicious. Side: Bradford Sweet Fries was basically sweet potato fries. They were okay, I had better ones from other restaurants. Maybe, they will do their best to give me a redo. Dessert: The Triple Layer Chocolate cake was very delicious. Although, they weren't a variety of desserts: the chocolate cake was good. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Follow me on TikTok @ladyisreal23 and on IG @ladyisreal read more

On a busy Saturday night, we made reservations and we're promptly seated. Our server was very friendly and suggested a couple of cocktails which we've got and then the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer was delicious. All the meals were very good. The shrimp crab and grits was the stand out in my favorite. Prices were very reasonable and portions were very good size. Well done nectar staff. read more

We sat at the bar for Brunch- bartender was very friendly and attentive. Lots of drink choices, coffee was delicious though! and we had the eggs Benedict and chilaquiles bowl. Both were great! Thought the bowl needed some meat but other than that would def go back, great outside area with live music and would be fun to sit outside if weather was better. There is outside bar area too. read more

Only had one night in Old Town Bluffton and was told this was the place to go. I wasn't super hungry, so I stuck to a variety of appetizers. Hush Puppies were good, quite large and very crispy. The peel and eat shrimp were excellent! They were so tender, not overcooked by even a minute and seasoned perfectly. The tomato hand pie, which I was most excited to try, is the one that disappointed the most. Could be bc tomatoes aren't quite in season yet, and I think they'd be easier to eat if the tomato was sliced, and not diced. But none-the-less a clever and unique add to the menu. Bar service was fine, pleasant servers. read more

Crab shrimp and grits some the best I've ever had! The farm vegetables were great too. Really love the ambience. Great outdoor patio.

We went to Nectar for brunch on Sunday after church. My wife had the southern poutine fries which were delicious. I had the crab cake Benedict which was really good, it had a bit of a spicy kick to it. The place was super busy, but we were seared fairly quickly and our server offered menu suggestions about her favorites which helped me select the Benedict. read more

I was visiting Bluffton for a family reunion and a lot of us met up here for dinner for the first night being in town. We had a big group, and sat outside. Service was great. It was accurate, good timing, and our server was friendly. There was a singer with a guitar performing too and he was great- our kiddo loved dancing to him. The food itself, wow. I bought a bunch of apps to share with my husband and kid, and all was so delicious . The crab bisque was incredible. Even the simple chocolate cake was SO yummy! The food was so good we decided to go back here again the last morning we were in town- we had brunch. Everything again tasted very fresh and tasty! read more

I went to Nectar with my lady friend and another couple the other night. I ordered the Surf & Turf Trio. The crab cake was good. The shrimp were OK. My filet mignon which I ordered medium rare was over cooked to the point of being almost well done. I asked for butter for my mashed potatoes, but they were so cold that they did not melt the butter. The vegetable side was over cooked and mushy. Our server was OK. The ambiance is nice. read more

We've only been twice in the last couple years but it was great both times. Sunday was the second time and we had a party of 10. We were sat quickly inside and kids had their own table next to us. The waitress ( wish I could remember her name), was charismatic, friendly and very attentive. Everyone's food was very good. From omelettes to waffles to crab dip, nothing but good reviews. It's a charming place with indoor seating and a bar you can also eat at. The outside area is large with umbrella tables, live music (not too loud) and a larger bar area. It gets packed and the parking is limited in the back so park on the street or across the restaurant. Great place and Old Town is very charming. read more

Interesting menu. I've gotten to try things I've never had because of their variety. Friendly service. Cute restaurant. I like that they have healthy options. My grooming clients often go there with their dogs to eat. They allow them outside. read more

Short ribs are a must. Adam the bartender was attentive and very friendly! Will be returning

Food was great! All four of us enjoyed our dinners. Our waitress was a lovely lady. Four stars is simply because we reserved a booth but only a high top was available. All in all a very nice experience. read more

We decided to eat here while walking around Old Town Bluffton. The site is newly remodeled and very stylish. The building used to house a brewery and hamburger restaurant when we last visited the area. We had fried green tomatoes for a starter. Our entrees were the country Cobb salad and shrimp, crab, and grits. All were very good. Our server, Madison, was excellent. We likely will return on our next visit to the area. read more

The Case of the Missing Crab (and the Overcooked Shrimp) My friend took me to Nectar to celebrate my birthday, and we wish we'd gone anywhere else. She ordered the crab, shrimp, and grits -- except the "crab and shrimp" were so scarce they could've been an urban legend. The grits were the only redeeming part of the dish, and even they couldn't save it. I ordered "sautéed" shrimp with rice and roasted vegetables. The vegetables were fine, but the rice was so dry I think it had a past life as yesterday's special. As for the shrimp -- they were rubbery, overcooked, and definitely not sautéed----more like boiled, broiled, and forgotten. It's rare to find a place where both diners leave disappointed -- and on a birthday, no less. If this was their best effort, I shudder to think what the "off" days look like. For what should've been a special meal, it was just plain disappointing. Plenty of better places in town that actually care about what they serve. read more

5 Stars for ambiance and venue 5 stars for food selections for omnivores 4 stars for the 2 vegan options but zero stars for food taste. The vegan bowl had amazing ingredients but oil is not seasoning. Next time try roasting those wonderful veggies in a nice balsamic instead of oil and add seasonings like oregano, garlic, a fresh squeezed orange and a few dried cranberries stirred in before serving. Your clientele must include a few plant based eaters. Final tip, when young children are there to dine start them with a tiny plate of fresh fruit and veggies, a couple of crackers and water. Their waiting is stressful for them, their families and other patrons. All the omnivores looked very happy read more

5-26-24 Dinner sat outside 4-21-24 Brunch sat at bar Nectar has proven to be my favorite restaurant in the area. Both visits they were extremely busy but accommodating to take me and my husband without a reservation. The first visit was a Sunday afternoon and we sat at the bar and had brunch. Being so close in proximity to the bartender the service was phenomenal. Started with a Grapefruit cooler which was made up of Grapefruit Vodka, fresh grapefruit and lemon juice and a splash of soda. Hubby had a Bloody Mary both drinks were above average and literally you could sit and drink all day. I had the salad duo of shrimp and chicken salad. It was fresh and delicious. Hubby had a traditional omelette. Needed something sweet so ordered an ice cream sandwich which consisted of two homemade cookies with freshly made ice cream. Unbelievable delicious and not too sweet, big enough to be shared. Next visit on a Sunday evening after 8 pm and they gave us a table outside in the back. We were forever grateful that we even got a table as they close at 9 pm. I had a Coke this time to drink and even got refills. Hubby had a Miller Lite beer. Surprisingly for him he ordered a beef bowl as he normally doesn't eat salads. I had everything from the first section deviled eggs,fried green tomatoes,hush puppies and a crab cake. If I had to pick a favorite I would pick them ALL! There was a lot of OMG as I was eating as everything tasted so delicious. I truly believe you would be hard pressed to find one item that they serve that isn't above and beyond your expectations. I can't wait until our next visit here. read more

This is a Hilton Head restaurant which has a second location in Bluffton. It looked like a nice place to eat inside, but it was a holiday and I had places to be so I got an order to go. It was ready in a timely fashion. My local root beer was not a bottle but was in a cup with ice, so thankfully I was there quickly or I would have gotten a flat watery root beer. It was a good quality soda. My quinoa salad with mushrooms was not huge but delivered a range of flavors and a useful nutritional profile hard to find in this geographic area. Indeed, this is one of a finite number of options for the special dietary needs diner, and it is worth looking into if you need the vegan or gluten-free items of which they had several. read more

A cozy, beautiful small town restaurant with an inventive menu. It was hard to choose as I loved so many options. Reagan was a fabulous server and helped guide us!

Per a locals recommendation I tried this breakfast place out and wasn't displeased. The restaurant itself was decorated so tastefully. I sat up at the bar and order a vanilla cold brew to start, which was pretty smooth and enjoyable. For my entree I ordered the Dr.Joe's Duck Hash, as this was something unique. I chose the sweet potato biscuit as my side, which was also unique and good. The eggs were overcooked, but still had good flavor. I didn't ask my server to remake them, but the dish would have been much better with some runny yolks. All in all I would like to come back and try some more of their menu items. They also had a nice looking dinner menu as well. read more

We love dining with Nectar when we visit my parents in Bluffton. Beautifully cooked southern food - lots of local ingredients and seasonal specials! The drinks are absolutely lovely and service is very friendly. They always accommodate our allergies nicely (my son has a few). Huge portions and beautiful presentation. We are big fans! read more

Service was great, not very busy on a Monday for lunch, which was nice. I got the spicy chicken sandwich, which surprised me with spice, not crazy but I have a high tolerance and it made my tongue tingle. Great flavor, lots of pickles, fries were good too, in my opinion just too much bread. Also got a sour beer, solid. Grandma and mom got the fried pickles which they loved, they also recommend the deviled eggs. Sister got the chicken salad sandwich, it was alright. read more

This location is my favorite among the two. I like Old Town's vibe and I've never had a bad meal here. Today's challenge was that eating a late lunch (3:30pm) on a holiday meant that much of what we wanted was sold out: no regular biscuits (only sweet potato), no oysters, no tomato hand pies, and the BLT with fried green tomatoes is no longer offered. Instead, we ordered a chicken basket, shrimp & chicken basket, avocado toast, and a veggie omelette. All delicious and served by the kind and polite Alexa. read more

Taking over for the old Fat Patties, Nectar offer indoor and outdoor food and beverage environments. And a breakfast menu that is available all day. Drink options are a plenty, to include cold brew and freshly made espresso and coffee. (With over 21 options I should add.) My chicken finger basket was good, definitely fresh and my friends' plates (sandwiches) both looked well prepared. Plates went away with nothing left, so I have to say that confirmed it. Worth a try if you're in Bluffton! read more

What a treat! We found Nectar on the perfect early fall day where we got to sit outside and enjoy live music, delicious food and brunch cocktails. The outdoor setup was really ideal because most of it was covered and allowed for a nice breeze. It was a busy Saturday but the food came out relatively quickly and the staff was friendly. I look forward to coming back. read more

We are regulars of Bluffton's very popular restaurant, Nectar. Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a latte and first it took way too long to receive it and then when I did receive it, it was warm, not hot. I kindly asked for them if they could steam warm it up from the espresso machine, which they did. I was happy with it after they returned it. What was very disappointing was the fact that the manager rolled her eyes at the request, thinking we didn't see her do that. We own a local business and would never do such a thing. We are so disappointed that we haven't been back in 2 weeks... we usually eat there 2-3/week. Do better Nectar! read more

We were having too good of a time to take pictures but this place was so cool. Unique menu, lots of farm-to-table concept options, great cocktails, yummy food, friendly service, and a great vibe. Ashton was our server, and he did a fabulous job. He was so patient and accommodating with our inquisitive and high-maintenance group of five. He was enthusiastic and the pleasure he takes in his job was evident!! He had great meal recommendations, was efficient, and even though the place was jamming, he was so attentive. The "Bless Your Heat" drink was our go to. If you like tequila and heat with the perfect balance of spice and sweet, I highly recommend this drink! The deviled eggs were the overall favorite of the table, so much so that we had to get a second order, but every dish we tried was great and portions were perfect. After dinner we made our way to the outside bar for one more round, and Ceejay made us feel like we'd been there dozens of times before--she was so warm and welcoming and answered all of our questions about the restaurant and its history. She was awesome! Finally, we met Leksi on our way out, and just like Ashton and Ceejay and the rest of the gang, she made us feel so right at home. She talked with us about the new downtown architecture across the street and you could tell she appreciated the local art as much as we did! If you're in the area and looking for a casual, cozy, yet refined place to kickback and have a yummy meal and tasty cocktail, Nectar Bluffton is definitely a spot you don't want want to skip. Photo of the single remaining deviled egg that I was able to snap a quick pic of before we inhaled them within 10 seconds of being delivered to our table. Thanks again, fam! read more

I love this local restaurant in Old Town Bluffton. Cute decor, large menu, nice large patio. I got the Chicken and Waffles and the chicken was nice and moist with a nice light crunch, the sausage included in the waffle was a nice touch. The latte I had was well made and I don't add sugar so it has got to be good for me to eat it. I got a taste of their signature sweet potato biscuit and yummo! I will definitely come back to try their lunch or dinner items for sure. read more

Somehow our reservation at a different restaurant got messed up so we were able to grab a high top for four pretty quickly at Nectar Farm. Nectar Farm, the space is very cute inside. After browsing through their front lobby of books and assorted soaps, We're called to our table. I ordered a cold local beer on tap as well as fried green tomatoes to get the party started. The FRG, is that goat cheese?? FGR tomatoes, while not our favorites, we all finished the dish. Now my meal comes to the table, Shrimp & Grits in spicy tomato sauce. Different but I'm willing to try a different spin on a classic dish. They were a little heavy handed with the spicy tomato sauce. Look at my picture, it looks like there is more sauce than grits. Now I am not a grit aficionado by any means. I do enjoy low country seafood but this overpowering sauce filled me with sadness. Just passing thru your beautiful town. read more

Right off the bat, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Really cool vibe in this place - was just the right amount of light and dark. Farm to table, locally sourced for the majority of their items. Check out the interesting menu. We sat outside in the back patio which is huge. Four big screen TVs, outdoor bar, and lots and lots of seating with a covered area complete with fans and heat lamps for year round comfort This is our first time here, and while we didn't eat because we were on a walking tour of Bluffton, sweet tea is excellent. read more
