    Chopped salad
    Amy P.

    Came here for a late lunch on a Thursday after visiting the preserve, and it was not too busy. We ordered the chopped salad and pimento grilled cheese and tomato soup. Decent sized portions and prices. The food was fine and the garlic chive butter that they serve with their bread was good. The soup had good flavor. Nice ambiance and decor. Located in a shopping plaza that is inside the Sea Pines resort area which costs $9 for a day pass. Large parking lot.

    Tomato dill soup, delicious....!!!

    Striped bass with green beans and mashed potatoes

    If you looking for them perfect spot for dinner do not miss this place!!! It has been here for many years so most now of this spot.. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Betsy. She was amazing. This as by far the BEST meal I have had in years. I had the striped bass with Mediterranean salsa, green beans and mash potatoes. The fish was hands down top of my all time meals. The atmosphere was perfect. I also enjoyed a delicious "pearadise cocktail" which was also perfect. 5 stars is just not enough!!!

    I can't believe I have never been here!. For me in all the years I have been coming to HHI....This is some of the best fish I have had. Place has low lighting but this makes it feel cool after a hot day.. We sat at the bar and we were promptly greeted and served. Bartender...Thomas...was knowledgeable friendly and properly attentive. Baked brie appetizer was delicious with liquor soaked pecans. Our fish dishes....the Cod and the catch of the day --Redfish...we're delicious... cod had a pesto sauce was cooked perfect with a buttery center. Redfish was lightly blackened and tasty as well. Both came with mashed potatoes and haricot vert green beans. Cocktails were a mojito and a martini. We weren't rushed, and the food was delicious... we would definitely go back.

    Love Truffles! It's been a go-to for over 30 years! Consistently good service and great food. Today had smoked salmon and truffle fries for appetizers. Red fish, tuna, crab cake, cod and Filet for dinner. Can't go wrong.

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!

This is the kind of service you hope for when dining out. What stood out most is that it's not just your server stopping by -- the host who seats you, managers, waiters, and bussers all come by to make sure you're taken care of. Now let's talk about the food. If you're a Brussels sprouts fan, this is the place to come. The fried Brussels sprouts are served with fried pork belly -- and honestly, who can top that? The balsamic glaze on top is absolutely amazing. We also tried the short rib empanadas. They were good, though the flavor profile wasn't quite what I personally expected. The corn risotto dish normally comes with fried shrimp, but as someone who isn't a shrimp lover, they kindly accommodated my request and substituted blackened chicken. The combination of the blackened chicken with the corn risotto was outstanding -- a perfect balance of flavors. And don't skip the hush puppies. They're crisp on the outside, soft in the center, and have a sweet glaze that is absolutely to die for. We didn't get to sit outside because it was a bit cool, but the patio overlooking the beach is stunning and would be a wonderful place to dine when the weather cooperates.

    I was thrilled to visit this restaurant. When we arrived to Sea Pines, we did not have adequate…read moretime to make a reservation, but the staff promptly seated us in an available space on the patio. For the time of day, made for a romantic evening overlooking the beach and crashing waves. From the first spoonful to the last bite, this seafood-focused meal was a standout -- refined, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Corn Bleu Crab Bisque was a great start. Rich and velvety, it delivered deep, layered flavor without feeling heavy. The sweetness of the corn played beautifully with the briny richness of the crab, and the bleu cheese added just the right touch of sharpness. The seasoning on the Old Bay was a bit heavy for my taste that subtracted a sophisticated finish. Next came the Pan-Seared Scallops, and they were nothing short of outstanding. Perfectly caramelized on the outside and tender within, the scallops were cooked with precision. They rested atop a bed of citrus-sweet corn, which was frozen. (Otherwise, this dish would have been a 10/10) accompanied by a lemon beurre blance. The Blackened Redfish brought the meal home with bold, southern-inspired flavor. The crust had a fantastic sear, locking in the fish's natural moisture while delivering a satisfying punch of Cajun spice from the red pepper sauce. It was served with a light coconut inspired rice pilaf. Service was warm and attentive, and the pacing of the courses was spot-on. The ambiance was upscale but not stuffy which made it a perfect setting for a celebratory dinner or a relaxed night out for seafood lovers.

If not staying at resort supposed to pay 10 dollars which comes off bill. We were hoping they had just hot crab clusters but only had as part of boil with potatoes, corn etc which we did not want. Decided to try out seafood sampler as had many things we liked. It is all cook then chilled other than oysters which are raw. Clams and mussels were not good as either tasteless or bit chewy. We got side of carrots for some veg and best description is wedding food. They also brought it well before tower so by time got tower had cooled down. Only thing redeemed meal was they brought out butter for the crabs. Service was okay as our server claimed but mussels and clams were still raw which they were not.

Hilton Head Island has seen some changes in food offerings in the last decade, but fresh and new American fusion isn't common. Enter Chow Daddy's. With two locations (the other in Bluffton) we hit this one on Hilton Head. It's a risky place to put a restaurant, buried in the back plaza of a nondescript but high-end shopping center deeeep in the wooded neighborhoods of the island's Southern tip. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, you'll find you have to pay a small fee to access Sea Pines but many people do to get to the Salty Dog Cafe as well. While it may not get a lot of visibility, it is definitely worth seeking out for the very good Latin American cuisine being offered. Out party of five arrived on an August Friday evening after making reservations and were impressed with the cleanliness and upscale minimalist vibe. Dark booths and Edison-style lighting are offset by the daylight let in by picture windows. There is outside seating in the patio (very pleasant in the shade) and a small bar open off the host area. Inside seating is large enough for bigger parties of 6-8. Definitely not a post-beach day place, but perfect for date night, or more dressy family dinner out. Service was quick and talkative; we enjoy chatting beyond food with out severs which makes the experience even better. Apps and mains were delivered quickly with good presentation. We started with the fine fresh corn dip - extra tortillas were helpful to get the last bits. Mains included a fresh and well pattied cheesburger, mix-n-match tacos and two specialty bowls - cajun shrimp with spicy fine fat prawns and an Ahi-tuna poke style bowl. The rice in both was excellent and the portions were perfect. I'll try to un-hide this hidden star with this review and encourage you to seek it out if you live on "HHi" or make your next visit. Rare 5 star from us.

I came here with a bunch of friends from my undergraduate research lab while we were in Hilton Head presenting at a conference. We had rented a condo to all stay together and this place was in walking distance, so we headed over. I don't remember what all everyone else got to eat, or much about the service, but I do remember it was a total vibe. Beachy decorations that were fun but still classy and not too kitschy, warm lighting, good music. I ordered an item probably not even on their menu anymore: pulled barbeque chicken on a hunk of spicy cornbread with a side salad. I checked online and it's nowhere to be found, but it slapped at the time, and from pictures it seems like you can still maybe order their spicy cornbread at least, which was the best part! It had a great cakey texture and some legit heat. The chicken was succulent and tender and the smokiness paired well with the salad. It seems Chow Daddy's enjoyed a decade of success after my visit so long ago. I hope the temporary closure listed on the Yelp page doesn't turn into a permanent one. It was a pleasant surprise to be reminded of this visit and my time with friends.
