    Date Night or Date Lunch with your wife. Happy to recommend this upscale strip mall restaurant. Caveat: Water view and traditional Hilton Head restaurants very near at the Lighthouse. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We are surprised that Truffles continues to thrive in this location - a local's hangout - we saw lots of retired couples enjoying the menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thankfully, only 2 small TV's in bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is truly a 5/5 restaurant. Our skilled server advised us that a portion of the restaurant was hosting 15 folks and was 1/2 children. Whilst we took to avoid this section, it seemed the mothers had trained the children to behave properly; perhaps the handheld devices assisted. My dear wife would LOVE this property. While Not on my top ten list; a visit today was lovely. Years ago in driving trough Italy, I came to crave Grey days. Seems for the past 2 weeks Hilton Head has been sun drenched, and today's wind and clouds were welcome. The Atlantic Ocean is always much mor dramatic on these days. Thanks YELP! - reviews are great. We don't object to a pricey restaurant IF service, ambience, menu and food is very good. We had a waterfront restaurant yesterday, and we shall not return for several years. Given annual 2 week autumn and spring visits, we'll be certain to revisit on cloudy days. Caveat: menu is chicken centric, and we avoid all; however, Fresh Triggerfish is on the menu -- YEA!!!!! Cajun Fish wild trigger dusted with Cajun spices and grilled with butter, fresh corn salsa, coleslaw, crispy fries. Triggerfish is a highly prized, mild, and slightly sweet white fish with a firm, flaky texture often compared to crab or grouper . It is best prepared by searing, grilling, or baking to achieve a caramelized, golden crust while maintaining moisture, often featured in coastal, upscale-casual dining. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Booths are too tight for many men, and this should be corrected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love that a decorator many years ago designed this property, and we observe that a update is long overdue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very weird and strange music -- Noise....[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We shall return. 5 Stars.

    A family favorite with reliable, classic dishes. Coconut shrimp is a crowd pleaser. Meatloaf and pot pie someone in our larger group is getting it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit dark and loud inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server a bit slow or nervous, we couldn't tell. Food doesn't miss. Unless you get the tuna wonton that comes out drowning in cabbage but flavors were there. Would like to start a formal petition to bring back the Oreo pie.

    Chopped salad

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice ambiance and decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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....!!!

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.

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.
