After reading other reviews I was looking forward to experiencing Nectar. We had reservations and arrived on time. We were seated immediately on the patio, which was cute. At night the patio is downright adorable. It took quite some time before we were asked for our drink order and an even longer amount of time to receive our drinks, which were two draft beers and a bottle of wine so nothing labor intensive. We couldn't help but notice that other tables seated at the same time were now receiving appetizers. The artisanal food plate was elegantly decorated and absolutely delicious, the star of the night. The hush puppies were overcooked, but the deviled eggs were delightful. My fried chicken was hot and flavorful, but dear god, 3X more breading than I would enjoy. My buddies fish meal was cold, but after waiting an hour and a half to eat, she opted to send the meal back and not wait for a replacement. They didn't charge her for the meal, which I appreciated. I should add the restaurant wasn't packed, but they could have been short staffed. I would recommend Nectar for drinks and appetizers at the bar, but I cannot recommend dinner. read more

Decided here for breakfast due to reviews I've seen and some social media videos. We were seated immediately, luckily as this was a Saturday morning. The fleet came in right behind us so we were lucky. Our waitress was very attentive. We ordered drinks and then food second time around. Food came out fairly quickly. Everything was really good. The eggs were a bit on the thick side. I can't explain it lol. But it didn't give a cracked scrambled egg as I saw no egg white. I'm not a fan of that. The hash browns were pretty good. And the bacon was great. Thick cut. I did taste the grits which had cheese added and they were great. Didn't have to add a thing. I was told the ham was delicious and flavorful. I would suggest stopping by. Other food that passed by looked great too. Parking was fine as there is a large parking area. read more

Farm to table fresh delicious food of in a beautiful space! We had drinks and shared a few appetizers. Everything was tasty but the standouts were the biscuits with whipped butter and homemade preserves and the deviled eggs. Delicious new to us find! read more

Large indoor and outdoor seating areas with the Buzz Bar too. I had the Southern breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 3 strips of thick bacon, hash brown and sweet potato biscuit with a cappuccino. Biscuit was light, crisp with a hint of cinnamon. Fresh and delicious! Great service on a very busy Sunday at 10 AM. read more

Ate here twice in three days. They have the best coffee! Service was great even though they were busy. We both ordered the Low Country Sea Omelette the first day. I almost ordered it a second time. Instead I had Deviled Crab Benedict. Our server suggested I have the hot sauce on the side. That was good because I only dipped the ends of my fork times in the hot sauce and it was more than enough heat for every other bite. My wife had the fried chicken and waffle. We were very happy with our choices. We might come again tomorrow, our last day in HH. read more

Enjoy this restaurant as it has a lovely outside area as they allow dogs outside. Can get a good southern meal. Enjoyed their oyster roast and low country boil read more

Our party of 4 had a great eating/drinking experience last evening at Nectar on HH. We arrived about 6:30 with no reservations, (was last minute idea) hostess said about 1 wait or we can sit at the bar. Fortunately, there were 4 of us and we did manage to fit at the bar. Wonderful bartender, Keturah, took care of us over the next hr or so. She was very attentive to all her customers at the bar, and had 3 booths within the bar area, that she also handled. Keturah asked the hostess several times, when we first arrived, about the two booths that were free; and both times hostess came back and said they were reserved. Time passed, as we ate and drank, and one couple did arrive and take one of the booths in the bar area. Other booth remained empty the entire time we were at the bar. Having said that, we had a great time interacting with Keturah right where we were. I would recommend reservations, but sitting at the bar was a great experience, had food/appetizers and drinks. Highly recommend Nectar, HH, you will enjoy your time with Keturah. read more

Should one come to the beach and expect to find quality Southern cooking? Maybe, maybe not. But fried chicken and collard greens and skillet fried cornbread are always a must. And the beach is no exception. Thus, I found Nectar in my Yelp search and knew I would be making a visit. I will mention that I loved their outdoor seating area, just secluded away enough that you don't feel like you're right by a major road or the parking lot (though you are near both). Though if weather did not permit, there is more than enough indoor seating for a individual-couple-group. When I commit, I commit. And the half fried chicken, with two sides was that commitment. I knew I might have regrets, but the joy of tasting that delicious meal would not be one of them. And yes, I knew I would still order dessert. I love for food to be of quality, but I also hold a high standard in regards to presentation. Plating is a art form in and of itself. Here, they check all the boxes. Each item comes out perfectly framed and set as if they are daring you not to take a photo (which inevitably someone will). Everything was cooked to perfection. And that is coming from someone who grew up eating fried chicken that went from raw to egg bath to flour breading to Crisco in a skillet. There were no shortcuts in that house. I topped it off (though honestly I was already topped off) with banna pudding. Also delicious. I stumbled my way to the car, as the food coma was setting in. But I have a clear memory of how amazing my visit here was. I look forward to visiting their new location when I return to HH. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Nectar. The place has a cool, almost upscale diner feel. I started with the Georgia Collins and my wife had the lavender lemonade mocktail, both were great. The deviled eggs with orange marmalade were a favorite. We didn't have a reservation and got in fine, but I'd recommend one when it's busy. We had the crab cake dinner and the surf and turf trio. Everything came out looking nice and tasted good, though the steak was a little heavy on seasoning. Service stayed friendly even after we got switched to a new server. Ended with the apple cinnamon (seasonal flavors) bread pudding with ice cream on top, which hit the spot. Strong drinks, good food, and a relaxed, enjoyable time. read more

Pretty atmosphere, great food, great service. The drinks were amazing too, definitely check it out!

Great menu, good and attentive service. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air. Good parking lot

We had an absolutely fantastic breakfast and I can't say enough good things about it. My kids were in heaven from the moment we sat down. The staff treated them like VIPs--warm, patient, and genuinely friendly--which made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable for all of us. The food was outstanding. The omelettes were some of the best we've had anywhere--perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. But the star of the show for my kids was the massive sticky bun. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the size of my kid's head. They talked about it the entire ride home. Between the great service, the fun atmosphere, and the incredible food, Lecture Nectar has officially earned a spot on our "must-return" list. Highly recommend for families or anyone who appreciates a breakfast done right. read more

Mixed review on this place. I started with a Bloody Mary from the bar. Great drink and great service. They have three versions which is cool and a bit unique. The place was full but not too crowded so I was surprised that service was a bit spotty. The food came out quick but the guy delivering it sort of threw the plates down. I don't even know if he realized how impolite it was. The waitress was very friendly when we saw her. Not sure what was going on. Okay to the food. I personally love duck so I got the duck hash. I probably should have sent it back but just did not feel like dealing with it. The duck was gamey and it came off like it was prepared days before. Now we also had the huevos rancheros and it was outstanding. I did have them add the sausage on the side as well as some avocado. I have to say one of the best I have had in recent history. So to sum it up a tail of two experiences. Bloody Mary's and huevos rancheros outstanding. Duck hash and service could have been better. read more

Holy moly, this place is good! The spicy chicken sandwich (yes, it's fried) has so many flavors and textures, I can't even write about them all. Beautifully spicy, a tiny bit sweet (but not much--I don't like sweet), dill pickles--yum! The fry chips are so good too! Cut like a thick chip, but cooked like a fry and perfectly salted. We also got the fried green tomatoes, which the hubs loved but the flavors weren't for me--maybe too sweet. The decor is so cute! Come here. read more

Sooooo.. the wife and myself have been sleeping on this place. We have been innBeaufort, SC since 2021 and while am not sure how long this restaurant has been operating, I am mad that it took us this long to dine here. The food was perfect . The devil eggs were delicious as well as the grits. The service was great and the ambiance of the place was cozy (lighting, sound, decor, etc..). We will definitely be returning a few more times before we leave the state. read more

We came to Hilton head from Virginia and were looking for something good to eat. This place was it for us. The ambiance was really warm and inviting. Breakfast Lunch, Dinner, you can't go wrong. The Baked goat cheese dip was 15/10, hush puppies were crisp with a warm center. Cheddar burger was everything and more. My kids had the kid Mac and cheese and that was a generous portion for the kids menu. And then the breakfast sandwich was great as well! What made this place better was the staff, they were funny and so nice. Ramone was our server and was so helpful! I highly recommend this place and would come back again! read more

It's been a couple of years ago we went. In that time, they greatly improved EVERYTHING:)! Parking easy, big dining room & bar seats with booths and no noise. Menu is much better offering many nice choices. We went for lunch with a separate lunch menu with specials. Started with a number of great soup choices. Had fried oysters with sides that included great fries & hush puppies. Prices are reasonable with great quick service. read more

We started with the goat cheese dip and fried green tomatoes and they were both a 10/10. We split a steak and chicken fingers. Steak was overcooked but the sides were great with it. The chicken fingers and fries were very good. The service was great and we shared the banana pudding, but it was a little too sweet. read more

This is my second time eating at Nectar, but my first time eating at their new location. The food here was just as good as their last spot. I really enjoyed being able to sit out on the patio for lunch and still be cool from the shade. The service was great, the food was delicious, and I will definitely be back! read more

A great set up with indoor and outdoor tables. The menu is broad and tries to elevate itself above typical American southern food with offerings like ahi tuna. However, they served my kids raw chicken...and the manager seemed embarrassed but then the server left the meal on our check. We had it removed but overall it's hard to trust somewhere that gave your child raw food given the inherent health risks. Ruins your appetite a bit. That's the last thing you need on vacation! read more

SERG's new Nectar location is a sure bet for success. We stopped in day 3 for brunch at the bar and loved it. Service was superb as was our cocktails, soups, and sandwiches. The She Crab and Chicken Pot Pie soups were hot and chock full of flavors. The Dave Breakfast sandwich was hot and delicious - same for their Nectar Cheddar Burger. The decor is posh and there is plenty of room inside and out on their covered heated patio bar. Well done SERG. Cheers. read more

We went twice on this trip. Food was excellent. Service in the bar area was disappointingly slow when the restaurant was busy.

Visited early Sunday for breakfast on our way home. Party of 5 - 4 adults and 1 child. We weren't offered a child's menu, asked for one and finally had to go back to the hostess to get it ourselves. The food was amazing. Loved all our dishes. The decor is lovely and the outdoor seating area is perfect for HHI. We give this a 5 for food and mood. Most of our party drinks water everywhere. It's tough enough to get a refill, but when the glass is small - it's impossible. We finally received a water carafe for our refills - pro tip- ask for one at the beginning. The service was the worst we've had on the island. We can only hope the server was new to this type of service Job. We would give the service a 2. It took forever to be served and to place our order. Tables who were seated after us in her area were served first and orders were placed before we had the chance. Our kids meal was incorrect and the runner disappeared so quickly, we didn't have the chance to refuse it. We improvised with what we had, but making a hungry 8 year old wait is tough on everyone. A manager came by and did comp the incorrect food. Don't know if the server knew that or not, she didn't offer. Hopefully our experience was just a one off. I would totally try this location again next time we're on the island. read more

Nectar was recommended to us by a other hotel guest at the Hilton. We were not disappointed! My husband and I both had breakfast. I ordered the "Country Fried Steak" it was amazing!!! Everything on my plate was good. Our eggs were clearly farm fresh. The Country ham was very salty, we were warned and my husband ordered it anyways. Service was good, we ate outside. read more

By far the best place for dinner on Hilton Head! I love their breakfast, but I love the dinner more. Great service, solid beer and drink menu and a large menu that has something for everyone. The Hilton head location is much nicer and high-end than the Bluffton one, the inside is elegant, trendy and romantic, it's a good choice for a date night. I am really getting into their selection of local beer and love the new Blonde that they brew locally! If you are looking for a nice dinner on the Island, Nectar should be the top choice. read more

Too bougie for its own good?? An excellent place for adults but not for kids?? My wife and I dined for breakfast today (9/19/2025) with our two little boys. She and I loved our food, but we spent a lot on our sons meals only to find out the syrup was this real Vermont style syrup and when we asked for whipped cream for my sons waffle, they served us a sweet potato based whipped cream, which our amazing server brought us a sample of... I ate it and didn't mind, but my kids didn't want it, even after a little taste. I asked if they had a can of Redi-Whip, but no, so I left the restaurant and drove down the street to Kroger and bought a can. Kids don't want bougie food... simple and familiar food is what they want. read more

We went here for breakfast on the way back to the airport. Although our time was rushed, we had a fabulous breakfast. The omelets were delicious and cooked perfectly. They were not "fried tasting" which so many are or underdone. The hash browns (which we normally don't eat) were the best we ever tasted. Not greasy or heavy. My husband had the Eggs Benedict which was also very good. And did we mention the hush puppies -- not to be missed! Our only complaint was that it took a bit for the food to arrive. We were quite rushed, but the manager intervened and the food came out pronto after his nudging. Plenty of parking in the plaza which is a plus. Can't wait to return when we have more time. Highly recommend! read more

The deviled eggs are fantastic. Best I've ever had. The brussel sprouts were also very good. Hush puppies were okay. Heavy batter and not a unique flavor to them. I had the short rib and it was mediocre at best. For the price it was very disappointing as the roast we make at home is much better. The creamed collards we're not good. The mashed potatoes were fine. The chicken wings are not sauced, you have to add it yourself. They were fine. Service was okay, hard to get our waitresses attention at times. Nice atmosphere. Based on the reviews and pictures it sounds like it shines for breakfast, but I don't know if I feel that way about dinner. read more

June 30,2024 Sunday afternoon We came here after church for brunch. The number one reason we chose this place is that the Nectar in Bluffton is our favorite restaurant in the area. So it's a natural than to go to the one in Hilton Head. As a drink I got a blueberry mojito. It wasn't great in fact I couldn't even finish it. Hubby and I shared a dozen wings with peach sauce they tasted good. Next I had the special of the shrimp melt with the nectar salad. We shared a banana cream pie. The service was great and sitting outside we were surprised more people weren't enjoying the beautiful day outdoors. After we got home we both went back to bed didn't feel great after eating. We have eaten outside at the other location without issue. The food is definitely different. I love you Nectar but all my return visits will be down the road in Bluffton instead. read more

We came here for the first time for breakfast, and my friend and I ordered the biscuit basket. The buttermilk biscuits were good, very tangy. The fresh fruit compote was wonderful.
