The restaurant surrounded by the trees in an insignificant courtyard with attractive views of the island's Broad Creek. There is open airy atmosphere with comfortable cozy room to easily maneuver throughout the restaurant. The restaurant is popular for their fresh seafood dishes, but one can also find on the menu some Italian traditional favorites on the menu. We very much enjoyed the atmosphere, the comfortable setting, live music, along with the wonderful views.

The outdoor seating is a nice touch, with a mix of open-air tables and some covered spots at the bar for shade. The drink menu is decent, with plenty of tropical cocktails to choose from, though the beer selection is surprisingly limited for a place that stays this busy. Most of the service seems to run through the bar, and while the bar staff was friendly, upbeat, and doing their best despite being absolutely swamped, the table service was pretty spotty. The food menu is just okay--nothing terrible, nothing standout. I ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken sandwich at lunch, and unfortunately it did not sit well with me at all. It upset my digestive system enough to derail one of my vacation days, which definitely colored the experience. One thing that stood out was the presence of armed security guards. Not necessarily a problem, but it does create a different atmosphere than you might expect from a casual beachfront bar. Many reviews have mentioned the parking. We stayed at the hotel, so it wasn't an issue for us but somebody sitting next to me at the bar was ejected by management for something related to parking. I'm not sure of the exact details because I couldn't hear the conversation well, but it seemed to have to do with either buying or selling a parking pass with someone else. There was another incident where an unruly patron had the police called on them after engaging with one of the aforementioned security guards. That said, these seemed to be atypical of the total experience. Overall, it's an entertaining spot for drinks and music, but the unpleasant food experience land it at a middle-of-the-road three stars for me.

My now fiancé and I got engaged right outside of this restaurant, on the beach!…read more Firstly, I will say that I don't remember the food in great detail due to the emotions of the big surprise. I believe that everything we had was good, including the small seafood tower and the flourless chocolate torte. I believe we also got an appetizer, but I don't have a picture of it. Secondly, the service was AMAZING!! They truly made our evening so special. We immediately received champagne, they were able to seat us early, and everyone was so incredibly kind. The bartender (I forgot her name) recommended a few drinks, such as the devil's margarita, which was amazing. She even took photos of us outside and came over to our table a few times to make sure we were doing okay! I also got a dirty gin martini which was great. I cannot emphasize enough how truly special they helped make our evening. They went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend this place for special events and I will be back to try the food again!

The scallop tacos are an absolute must-order. The scallops were perfectly cooked--tender, flavorful, and paired with fresh toppings that complemented them without overpowering the seafood. Easily some of the best tacos I've had. My wife ordered the jerk chicken wings, and they were outstanding as well. They had just the right balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors, and they were cooked perfectly. What really made our visit special was the service. It wasn't just friendly--it was genuinely personal. We were welcomed like regulars, our server was attentive without hovering, and they made us feel like they truly appreciated our business. If you're looking for great food, a relaxed beach atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond, Sandbar Beach Eats deserves a stop. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Hilton Head!

From the first time I stumbled upon, not into, Cool Cats lounge, several years ago, I felt like one of the locals. Even though I am much older than most there. From the staff to the crowd on any evening, the atmosphere is friendly, warm and welcoming. This applies to Everyone who walks through the door. Make sure this is at the top of your list when you get to Hilton Head. It may be the your place to go every evening. It is for me. When you get there, ask if "the Captain" is there so I'll get to meet you.

It truely was pretty awesome. It came in a sizable bowl and was just the right temperature, too. The grilled cheese not so much. It was good but had only one measly slice of cheese. It could definitely use one more piece. I ordered the Mexican corn and there was nothing Mexican about it. It was just canned corn that had been scorched a little with no seasoning at all. The waitress was kind enough to take it off the bill. I like this restaurant atmosphere. It has a pretty good menu and a full bar. The service was great too!

This poolside restaurant is also open for non-members of the Hilton Grand Vacations Club, which was…read moregreat for us because we are not members but had heard some good things about this place from other Yelpers. We got there and it is literally an outdoor bar and grill. The ocean air was blowing nicely and it felt good. We grabbed a menu from the cashier's area. Debi was super kind and she helped us get some lunch. We both ordered non-alcoholic smoothies - he got pins colada and I got mango, and he ordered a club sandwich with onion rings and I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with chips. We paid for our meal and sat at a table overlooking the pool area. It didn't take long for Debi to bring our food out to us. The portions were really large for a lunch, and the food tasted amazing. We got two ice cream cups from the freezer (creamy and refreshing) and some water to go. Debi asked us to come back, and we may get a chance to go back before we leave town. It's pricey - cost us almost $70.00 for two people - but the portions made it worth it.
