Excellent location and atmosphere, you really can't ask for a better view no matter what section you sit in. I appreciated the thought put into the decor and overall vibe, it balanced classic coastal very well. The menu options were excellent, between the dinner menu and specials it was difficult to make a final decision. I ultimately went with the surf and turf and have no regrets, my filet was tender and the crusted lobster was a take I wasn't expecting but I was really happy with the jam packed flavor in that little guy. Our group unanimously had excellent meals with high praise to the street corn elote, Thai crunch salad, striped bass and beet salad. The key lime cheesecake is truly one of the best cheesecakes I've have in my life and that's not an exaggeration, that slice had to of been 6 inches tall, perfectly set, and had a lovely keylime flavor without pulling too acidic. Our service was OK but could use some improvement, the server managing our table appeared to be juggling a few demanding tables which left us with a cluttered table full of empty glasses plates, needing refills, needing silverware (to eat). When Kayla was able to get to our table she was knowledgeable on the menu, wine pairing, and recommendations. My recommendations would be to have a busser assisting the server with larger parties and help alleviate some of these smaller asks that keeps us attended to and frees up the waitress to focus on food and drinks. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Quarterdeck. The waterfront views are stunning, and the atmosphere is relaxed while still feeling special. We ordered the salmon specialty and the blackened grouper, and both were outstanding. The salmon was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, while the grouper was extremely fresh, well-seasoned, and prepared beautifully. Our server, Kayla, was excellent, friendly, attentive, and always checking on us at just the right times. She helped make an already great experience even better. Between the delicious food, exceptional service, and incredible views, Quarterdeck is a place we'll gladly return to whenever we're back in Hilton Head. read more

We were currently visiting and wanted to check out this part of the island because of the lighthouse and thought it would make for a great photo opportunity together. Unfortunately, we ended up taking a nap beforehand and got there much later than planned, so we were worried they might already be closing down. Luckily, we were still able to grab seats at the bar. Service started off a little slow and, fortunately, it did improved throughout the evening. We decided to share the beef short rib 10/10 mouth watering with a wedge salad, and both were very good. For dessert, I ordered the espresso martini, which completely stole the show. The bartender seemed to be making one every few minutes for other guests, and after trying it myself, I completely understood why. The presentation was amazing, and the flavor was even better. I would strongly recommend ordering the espresso martini if you visit because it was easily the highlight of the night--not just for me, but seemingly for half the restaurant. The building itself is beautiful and has two floors. If you're hoping for a nice view, I would definitely recommend requesting a table upstairs. The bar area also offers plenty of seating options, including tables, booths, and outdoor seating. This is definitely more of an upscale restaurant, so expect higher prices, but the quality of the food and drinks matched the cost. One thing worth mentioning is that when driving into the area, we had to pass through security and were charged a $10 entrance fee. We later found out that if we had mentioned it to the restaurant, they would have removed the charge from our bill. Lesson learned, and hopefully anyone reading this review can take advantage of that tip. After dinner, we walked around the dock and checked out the boats. The area has a really cute downtown vibe, but since we arrived so late, most places were already closed. Next time, I'd definitely like to spend more time exploring the area during the daytime. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would highly recommend checking it out. read more

We dined outside and had a really nice experience. I enjoyed a perfectly executed classic daiquiri prior to dinner. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the perfect wine pairing with my fresh catch fish. We also enjoyed fried shrimp, salmon, and pasta dishes that were all yummy. I highly recommend quarterdeck for a nice meal while in Hilton Head. read more

With iconic lighthouse and wraparound deck, it's one of the best places to see the sunset on the island! Reservations are required to sit in the main dining area most nights but there is a small first come first serve area by the outside bar where we snagged a table. Service is on point with the full menu and attentive waitstaff. The menu is very seafood heavy but there are some interesting salads as vegetarian options. Would love to see another entree choice added! I also enjoyed the unique take on hush puppies with hot honey. read more

Decades of dining. Bland today. Caveat; when seeking upper level deck dining, select the shade and pull on a sweater. We have dined at all Harbourtown restaurants, and Quarterdeck is the Best. We like that Quarterdeck employs a number of Central American folks, and these folks require some geographic training. We have dined on nearly all menu items, and my dear wife suggest shrimp and grits. This popular low country menu item is often abused in Hilton Head, and the novice Quarterdeck COOK contributes to the abuse. Frozen shrimp is way overcooked; sauce is pretty, but tasteless, and grits ate BLAND. I summons server, Bryan for Tabasco sauce, and of course, a liberal application greatly improves this Bland meal - Tabasco should be on all tables. Of course, there are taxes and a Resort Fee - Today, I elect to consider these fees to be optional in adding a tip; really must continue this practice. read more

The food is always perfection at the Quarterdeck. I usually order the lobster thermidor, but chose the shrimp and grits today, and it was equally good! The server was attentive and helpful. I sat alone outside next to the entertainer who sang and played the guitar. It was a pleasant evening experience. read more

Our family of 10 had a very nice dinner here. Seafood is on the menu. I personally had grouper and I thought it was great. Everybody had some version of seafood except for our grandson, whose favorite food is a hamburger. Service was unusually attentive and effective. The place is beautiful and right on the water surrounded by million dollar boats. We liked it a lot on the downside, it was pretty expensive. read more

The Quarterdeck is Sea Pines newest restaurant. Its views are breathtaking. You overlook the iconic lighthouse and the harbor. Great picture spot! They spared no expense on furnishings and decor. Everything in this place is just beautiful all the way down to the door pulls. The servers are all very well trained and knowledgeable with the menu. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your dining experience. I HIGHLY recommend reservations about a week in advance. It's almost impossible to get in the day of. The food is all amazing. Our favorite was the crab dip appetizer with the special saltine crackers. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Dined here exactly one year ago - and had a great time tonight, too! Started with the Street Corn Elote Fingers which was amazing!!! Then for dinner, I had the Specialty Salmon with pineapple salsa and rock shrimp risotto (good, but needed a bit more flavoring and wish there'd been more pineapple); my husband had the Dafuskie Deviled Crab Cakes (yum, but he prefers a more saucy dish), and my dad had the Local Catch (swordfish) over Sweet Corn-Blue Crab Chowder (the group favorite!). And - Patricia was again our server and she was just lovely! read more

If you're going to spend the weekend in Hilton head island, you have to go experience the culinary play calling going on at Quarterdeck. Beautiful food, beautiful view. There's not much more you could ask for. I had the crab chowder with local market fish, I subbed out the swordfish for the halibut. Nothing against swordfish, I just don't think swordfish has what it takes to be a starter in this league. I ended up being right, the halibut was my quarterback tonight. It did nothing but shine by throwing for what felt like a touchdown every bite. It was surrounded by an outstanding offensive line of crab chowder topped with truffle oil that look like routes being drawn up for a quick first down. This was one of those dishes you're eating and eating until you look down and realize it's already gone. Luckily, the waitress threw a flag on bringing the bill and brought the dessert menu instead. The offense managed to run out some clock before a last second 2 plate conversion by Key lime cheesecake. My mouth is watering just thinking about. Unbelievable PFT. Presentation, flavor, and texture. The key lime was light and not overbearing. Perfect way to end a game after a round of golf. read more

My family and I came here for a birthday celebration while visiting from out of town. We made a reservation, which I highly suggest that you do. Even on a weeknight evening it was very busy in the off-season. They took us into a private room upstairs, which we mainly had to ourselves until the last half hour of our meal. Our server Tyrese was very attentive and friendly. He made sure we had everything that we needed. Everyone enjoyed the food. We shared alligator bites and hush puppies and street corn appetizers which were all very good. Everybody ordered different dishes, but nobody was dissatisfied with them. I had the blackened chicken Alfredo, which was very good and I had a lot of leftovers. They knew that we were celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday and they brought out a very nice dessert for her with extra spoons for us to share. We all ordered drinks as well. Everything went smoothly and the experience was pleasant. Being able to look out over the water was quite nice. We got to watch dolphins playing while we ate. If you're looking for a beautiful restaurant with a lot of ambience this would be a great choice. It is a walk from the parking area to the restaurant, so please keep that in mind. I believe that they have an elevator, but I couldn't say that for sure, however they do have first floor seat seating as well as a second floor. read more

Beautiful view of the water and daufuskie island! Plenty of seats in the restaurant with a view from every table. Our waitress was super attentive. We never had an empty glass in front of us. The food was amazing as well. We had the calamari (lightly breaded), crab sandwich (heavy on the crab meat), caprese salad, salmon, and burger with fries. We left crumbs. read more

Gorgeous restaurant, gorgeous location! Be aware, if you're not staying in the gated community where this restaurant is located, you have to pay a $9 gate fee just to get to the restaurant...consider it a parking fee. We sat outside on the upper deck. We had a perfect view of the harbor and ocean. So fun to watch all the activity. The service and food were excellent.

The Quarterdeck was a lovely place to eat. Some of the things we ordered were the shrimp basket, salmon, hush puppies (amazinggggg!!!), swordfish over corn chowder (fresh catch of the day), sautéed shrimp, she crab soup, and gumbo. Everything was very good! One thing I would say is some of the portions of the seafood are very highly priced for not a lot of food, but that's okay. Food was great, the place is so beautiful, and our servers were very nice! They have GF marked items. read more

Service - Lenert was very nice and professional. He got everything we needed with a great Jamaican accent and a smile. Cajun Fried Gator Bites - 5/5 - lightly breaded with a little kick, gator does taste a little bit like dark meat chicken Sweet Corn Hush Puppies - 5/5, everyone liked these, I would only eat 1, but others I was with loved them and could have eaten more Blackened Swordfish over Sweet-Corn Blue Crab Chowder (husband) - 4/5, I took a bite of the swordfish and soup and it was tasty. He thinks that swordfish was prepared nicely, but swordfish it not his favorite fish Street Corn Elote Fingers (cousin) - 5/5, wow, the Tajin seasoning and all the flavors taste delicious Lump Crab Toast (cousin) - this time the toast did not have as much crab as last year (about half). Since he compared Quarterdeck Lump Crab Toast from last year (5/5) to Quarterdeck Lump Crab Toast this year, he would have to say 4/5 instead because of the reduction in the crab on top Specialty Salmon (me) - 5/5, I got the salmon medium and it was good. I ate all of the salmon and asparagus and ate a little of risotto so that I could save room for dessert, but the whole meal was delicious Blackened Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Alfredo (cousin's wife) - 5/5 - finished the whole thing, al dente pasta, Alfredo was great with a lot of flavor, blackened chicken was good and not too spicy Au Gratin Potatoes - fabulous 5/5 per cousin's wife Key lime cheesecake - 10/5*, the best key lime dessert on the entire island. Every restaurant we went to this week, we tried a key lime dessert if they had it and this was by far the most amazing. It was so good we ordered two Espresso martini - husband said the grey goose martini was great, but to remind him to go straight to the espresso martini instead of having wine in between - he says 12/5* stars for the espresso martini (basically 5/5, if you like espresso martinis, get it) Sweet Heat - super spicy - 1/5 stars because it is too spicy, cousin said he would never order it again. It is made with jalapeño puree, so if you like extra spicy, go for it. Atmosphere/ambiance - we sat outside and the weather was perfect, we could see the water as the sunset and the boats pulling into the marina read more

Visited the Quarter Deck, one of our favorite go to when we're on Hilton head Island. I had the fried fish sandwich and fries and my wife ordered the filet mignon. My fried fish sandwich was tasty and a generous portion. My wife had to return the filet mignon, as it was very chewy, not tender, and quite hard to cut through. She ended up with the Atlantic salmon which she liked. Kari our server was excellent!! Not such a great overall experience as before with the food quality, but we will definitely be back as this location is usually A++.. read more

The ambiance, service, and view at The Quarterdeck were all excellent--truly spectacular and exactly what we were hoping for on our first visit to Hilton Head. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting. As a pescatarian who does not eat meat, dairy, or eggs, the menu options were extremely limited. We ordered the ahi poke, shrimp cocktail, and French fries. We weren't able to order the calamari because the batter contains eggs and buttermilk, and when we asked about sourdough bread, we were told they don't offer bread at all. The ahi poke was disappointing--easily the worst poke I've had. The sauce was bland and didn't resemble traditional poke flavors. It was topped with prepared seaweed salad and served with green mounds on the side that looked like guacamole but tasted more like a mayo-based mixture. The shrimp cocktail, however, was excellent. The shrimp were large prawns and very flavorful--definitely the highlight of the meal. We chose The Quarterdeck primarily for the view and didn't do extensive research beforehand. It's worth noting that the restaurant is located inside a gated community, and we had to pay $9 just to enter. While the setting is beautiful, the limited menu options and underwhelming food quality mean we won't be returning. read more

The perfect spot for some great food with scenic views in Hilton Head. Came here after doing the Creek Cat, and actually stopped here to learn more on the trip, and it hit the spot. Fish sandwich was cooked perfectly, blackened seasoning paired great and the fries were crispy.

The Pearfictini was extremely refreshing and felt like being on the beach. read more

I have frequented Quarter Deck many times, primarily for drinks, soaking in the water views, and enjoying the lively evening crowd. It's always been a relaxing spot to unwind and take in the scenic surroundings. On this occasion, we stopped by for lunch instead of our usual evening visits. We decided to order a grilled chicken sandwich, although it was not listed on the menu. When it arrived, it looked as if it had been stored in a refrigerator and then merely warmed up. not freshly grilled. It was not the quality we expected, but since we were hungry and tended to avoid sending food back to the kitchen, we chose to eat it anyway. Despite the misstep with the meal, our experience at Quarter Deck remains a reminder of its wonderful ambiance, especially for late afternoon relaxing sessions while enjoying the beautiful water views. It is a special place to unwind and enjoy the scenery, even if not everything always goes perfectly with the food. read more
