Nectar is an absolute gem... farm-to-fork dining at its finest. Right away they score points for taking reservations, which is a rare and beautiful thing on Hilton Head. They also have a kids menu, which makes family dinners infinitely easier. We started with the bread service and it was phenomenal. Italian bread, Amish butter, ricotta cheese, and an olive oil situation that tasted like someone whispered sweet nothings to a bone marrow and convinced it to become a dipping sauce. It was fantastic. No notes. Zero. Perfect. I went with the shrimp and grits and they absolutely sang. My wife ordered the farm steak salad bowl, which looked and sounded delightful. Around the table we also had the trifecta bowl and the osso buco, and every single person was raving about their meal. That's always a good sign. The wine selection was excellent, the cocktails looked fantastic, and our waiter George was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever hovering. This is the kind of restaurant you can return to over and over and never get tired of. Great food, great service, great atmosphere... if you're on Hilton Head, make this one a priority. read more

We picked this restaurant because of the ratings on Yelp and TripAdvisor. There was virtually no wait for us to get our table for five. Our server was very friendly and did his best to make sure we had a good experience. Our meals consisted of the Dr. Joe's Duck Hash, Southern Chicken 'n Waffles, and the Low Country Sea Omelette. The Duck Hash was very good. The mixture of pulled duck meat, root vegetables, and green onions mixed with a sunny side up egg was perfect. The Low Country Sea Omlette came out with a burnt sweet potato biscuit that had to be replaced. The Chicken that came with the Chicken 'n Waffles was dried up and also had to be replaced. The hostess (Laura or Lauren) took steps to make up for the burned food. The ambiance is like a typical breakfast place - bustling with lots of animated conversations happening at once. read more

DO NOT USE THE DOG MENU!! I ordered off the dog menu for my small dog and ended up in the emergency animal hospital that same night. The food came back cooked on a dirty, greasy grill with salt, pepper flakes, and oil. All of this is toxic to dogs. My dog was severely dehydrated and had to stay overnight. The vet bill was over $2,000. The chefs here have zero training on what dogs can and cannot eat. If you have a small dog, please do not order from this menu. You are putting your pet's life at risk. read more

Only restaurant I've been to in the island that charges $6 for bread and butter. Oh well- food was ok there yelp page needs to be updated and their website. My son wanted buffalo wings that were shown numerous times on Yelp and other media pages and they had none . He had shrimp Wich was good and fries but the fires are actual chips. My father-in-law said the meatloaf was good and I had the smothered chicken . Stop in and taste their menu and give it a try read more

Sweet spot in a strip mall - easy access from main road and Hilton Spa and Resort Hilton Head. Take out is easy and holds its locall and fresh made flavor until you arrive home. Memorable flavors and staff who cares. Drool-worthy recommendations : Deviled eggs, Nectar Salad, and The Bees Burger. Sorry that food appeared in such a tempting way, I didn't take time for photos. Next time! read more

Food was very tasty, love that it's a farm to table style restaurant. Super cute inside however the service was very slow on a Sunday morning. Took well over an hour from sitting down to getting the check. Southern breakfast was very tasty, loved the hash browns. Hubby got the sausage gravy biscuits and was happy with them. We started with the bag O' donuts which were very good. read more

I visited Nectar on 10/20/25 and it was a very pleasant experience. We sat at the bar and enjoyed brunch. The bar area is really cute, clean and aesthetically pleasing. The food was really delicious and so were the drinks. They offer ample parking and the wait was minimal on this day. They even had a nice selection of music playing. I will definitely return for the great vibes, food, drinks and customer service. read more

The food was OK, the waiter was pretty good but the temperature in the restaurant was 85 degrees or more. We told the waiter that it was too warm and he said that people were on the roof fixing the system- that was a complete lie! Nobody was on the roof. Don't go unless you want to sweat with an air conditioning system that is not adequate and a staff that gives you untruthful excuses. I repeat- Don't Go!!! Frank read more

Still a great place to go! You might want to avoid the Spinach Salad though. My wife had it last night and she was very disappointed. Make up your own mind, but it was just spinach ,a half an egg, and a couple slices of a radish. The dressing was supposed to have some bacon in it???, not. We appreciated their not charging us for it. All else was great. read more

We've been visiting my parents on HHI (full time residents) for 50-years and we have our favorites... Fish Camp, Oyster Factory, Quarter Deck and always Frankie Bones on the last night. Well, there's a new restaurant, sqaurely in the middle of our list, Nectars. We went there for breakfast, lunch and dinner during our week. Every meal was amazing. The fried oysters, best I have ever had. For dinner, meat loaf and short ribs. You can really tell when the chef creates an authentic Holy Trinity base from fresh ingredients. Welcome to the pack, Nectar's. read more

Southern charm comes to mind when I recount this experience. We got huevos rancheros, duck hash, kids pancakes and a sticky bun. Recommended - the kid pancake was giant. My son loved it. It was the size of a pizza pie and he ate most of it (he is 4). We also got a sticky bun which was much bigger than expected. My daughter is a picky eater and this one she approved it. The huevos rancheros were ok. I didn't love them. There was too much salt and too much spice that didn't blend well and they used lentils that literally drowned any texture and flavor from the rest of the dish. Interesting concept but I didn't like it. They hubby got the duck hash which would have been better with regular instead of sweet potatoes. The place is charming. There is seating inside and outside. There are also TVs, where we watched some tennis. Service was good. Overall, they seem to do the sweet dishes well and aren't as greasy on others. The place has a nice space and warm southern vibes. I would come back for coffee and dessert but not for food. read more

Country Fried Steak (5/5): The steak was nicely fried and not too salty. The gravy was delicious. The hashbrown was FANTASTIC--very dense, great flavor, and a crispy exterior. Southern Chicken N Waffle (4/5): The chicken was well-fried and juicy with A LOT of dill flavor (the dill clashed a little with the sweet syrup). The waffle was just a little too soft and got soggy quickly. I also think they forgot to add the sausage which I was looking forward to :( RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Atmosphere was very peaceful and breezy sitting outside on the patio. The food was the best breakfast we've eaten in Hilton Head. Chicken and waffles, low country sea omelette, southern breakfast and po-boy oyster sandwich were outstanding! The coffee and the honey latte ice/hot were delicious. We are looking forward to trying new things on the menu next time we visit. The service has great. We got there around 9:45am. read more

Nectar was located across the street from our hotel decided try for dinner. We grabbed a seat at the inside bar and promptly greeted by a friendly bartender. I had a shrimp steak bowl and my husband had a blackened fish sandwich. Also tried the calamari all were exceptionally delicious. We met the owner who was very friendly. The restaurant itself has a relaxing vibe would not hesitate to return. read more

Of all of the places to tryin in Hilton Head, I'm glad we gave Nectar a shot. The food was delicious and the portions were enormous. Its not all about quantity, its got to taste good too... They hit all the marks here. I ordered a pork schnitzel which was more of a southern version. I got it with mashed potato and collard greens. I honestly think I made a poor choice. The pork schnitzel was good, but not great- I think if I got something a little more traditional I would have enjoyed it more. That said, the portion was generous and the sides were great. As far as pork schnitzels go though, it was pretty average. However, my wife got a smothered pulled pork bowl and let me tell you, if you are looking for southern flavor without all the "fried", go for it. The pork was crisped up and it was smothered in a pepper gravy and it was very forward on the pepper. It was fantastic- wish I ordered it... We got a side (basically a mountain) of fried brussels sprouts and a tomato hand pie as an appetizer. Hand pie was decent, worth trying, but wouldn't get again. It was just okay. Nothing amazing to write home about. The brussels sprouts damn near killed us. The oil from them being fried and the hot pepper flakes turned into chili oil in the bowl and the bursts of flavor from the sprouts can hit the back of your throat, so be warned there.. It was a portion and a half though. Definitely a sharable size among 3-4 people. If you eat these with one other person you may have a little bit of an upset stomach, so much oil. All of that said, I would come back here. I thought overall it was very pleasant. The service could have been a little better and food choices could have been a little different but that part is on us. read more

Nectar, it was a bleak experience for their thanksgiving dinner plan. Had a reservation for 5:00pm. At 5 pm, nectar is out of prime rib. By, 5:30pm nectar is out of turkey. Nectar is still seating people with the menu disappearing each minute. By 7:00pm, Nectar has one appetizer out of six choices left. My combination white dark turkey meal had no white meat. My wife's turkey meal luckily had a little of both so she gave me a couple of small slices. Both turkey dinners had no gravy. Her salad had heated tomatoes, not blistered so they were extra mushy. The sweet potato dressing and the mashed potatoes were very good and slightly warm. Unfortunately, all the rest of the food was cold. At Dessert time, no apple clobber was left. My pumpkin bread pudding I had ordered was also gone, so I had the chocolate cake as the last available dessert option. When we left at 7:00pm Nectar was still seating people. I have no idea what they were going to eat. It was an extremely expensive meal with many missing food options available at 5:00pm and getting more limited as the time pasted. We have eaten at Nectar for breakfast and lunch over the years, so we expected good food. Nectar's thanksgiving menu was a disaster and absolutely awful. The service staff was good and tried to make it less of an abysmal evening. We have enjoyed Nectar in the past, but were really disappointed with the Thanksgiving meal. Planning was poor. read more

A great Benedict! Nectar farm kitchen was busy during our Father's Day visit The staff was very friendly, taking us to a table right away. We were seated indoors with comfortable temperatures. The most interesting, best tasting meal ordered was the Southern Benedict. It had taste explosions from the mustard and the bologna that tastes like ham the whole dish was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

First time at the new HHI location, which is more open and airy. Our server, George, was very friendly and attentive he stopped by several times to refresh drinks and check on us. The table shared fried green tomatoes. Not the worst we've had, but just meh. My she crab soup was filled with crab and took the chill off a cloudy day. My shrimp burger was pretty good, but it had too much sauce on it--the kitchen should go lighter on that! My friend enjoyed her chicken pot pie soup with biscuit crumbles. My other friend had The Cuban, which was pretty substantial. We had no room for dessert. The Bluffton menu remains my favorite. read more

This is our go-to spot for breakfast and brunch on the island. It's simply fantastic with an expansive menu with daily specials. The food is always consistent with excellent portion size and the service is always impeccable. A few must try's are: Cinnamon Roll, Low Country Seafood Omelette, their biscuits, their spicy sausage and more. While we love all the servers we've had there. Tweety has become our personal favorite. He's super personable and engaging and just a fun person to interact with. This place gets my highest recommendation! read more

Always love nectar on the island! Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Drinks are always good along with the food.

Food was a 2 star and the service gained this place an extra star. George saved this review. He was extremely attentive, quick, and professional. The place was clean and nice, great atmosphere- we had high hopes. The she crab soup had too much sherry, the warm spinach salad was not warm. The flounder did not seem like flounder- the flake was different and it was extremely thick. George was gracious enough to let me order something else with no qualms. My husband had the braised short rib and also questioned to ourselves whether it was short rib or pot roast. I order the portabella schnitzel instead and the sauce was weird and spicy. I ended up taking the whole thing home, as I gave up eating an entree here. George came quickly with a take out container and we promptly paid the bill and left. So disappointing read more

Came for brunch and took the servers recommendation on the chicken and waffles. It was delicious! It said it came with spicy sausage and I didn't realize it was inside the waffle but even better.

An incredibly bizarre service experience. I asked for eggs with cheese. After a very long wait my food finally came and my eggs weren't made with cheese. The server's solution was to give me two cold slices of American cheese on my plate, and then acted offended when I looked at her like she was nuts. The place is always packed, so I kind of get it, but come on. Too slow and weird to still be worth it. read more

This place is a definite for our next trip. Cool place and great vibe. Sit outside for sure. This is one of those restaurants where the staff works as a team and gets it done for sure. Price point is great for the quality food. I just had the farmers breakfast and all was cooked perfectly. The bacon was just right and the grits were awesome The biscuits look like a corn bread square but there's definite some sour dough in them. Very good but a hair over cooked My wife had the pancakes and some fruit Pancakes were light and very tasty! I wish I had remembered to take photos Make this one of your breakfast stops for sure They serve lunch as well which looked very good too! read more

This restaurant looks so cute from the outside and the menu looks amazing. We were slightly disappointed in the quality of the food though, but maybe we were just there on an off day. It seems to always be busy so some people like it. We were there for brunch Saturday and there was quite a crowd. read more

We heard really good things about this restaurant and decided to try it for breakfast. I started with a salted caramel nitro cold brew and my partner got a espresso martini. Both were really good. I'd recommend for the nitro cold brew to mix it up just to make sure all the flavor profiles get incorporated into the drink. We then decided to split two different entrées. One was the cinnamon roll and the other was the chicken biscuits and gravy. The cinnamon roll was absolutely delicious and melting your mouth and we even had more than enough left over to have a snack later in the day the chicken and biscuits were also really good. I just needed more gravy to go with it so definitely ask for extra sauce if you get this entrée, the staff was a little slow, but they also only had one waitress to help out outside so hopefully in the next time we go, they can have a little bit more help to attend to the guest. read more

First visit here since they relocated. One of the best burgers I ever experienced was at their Bluffton location and I was anxious to try the new place. I ordered the fried bologna sandwich because it is a rare menu find and probably some leftover nostalgia from a place I used to go in Wando, Ohio. It was served with some fried potatoes that were cut a little differently than what you usually see. The sandwich and fries were good but diminished by the lukewarm temperature of the food. Nancie got the Cobb salad which she exclaimed was one of the best she's ever had eaten and a reason for us to return. read more
