Hi we are at HH and would love to hear what your best restaurants are. So far we are planning on trying Hugo's steakhouse because our son is called Hugo!
We just returned from a non DVC stay a week ago. Try Lowcountry Backyard. We loved it! You need to get there right when they open to avoid a long wait. But it's well worth it. Cooked to order meals, true Lowcountry cuisine.
We enjoyed Scott's Seafood and San Miguel's at Shelter Cove as well.
Another vote for the Sea Shack. Just understand that that one's VERY casual. We also enjoy Kenny B's, Skull Creek Boathouse, Black Marlin, British Open Pub, and Pino Gelato in Wexford Village (how can you NOT love gelato!)
"It's Greek to Me" was very good when we were there, but it's been a few years. For Mediterranean food, we enjoyed Mediterranean Harbour in Shelter Cove.
San Miguel's is very good and close to the Disney resort. Old Oyster Factory is also very good.
There are a lot of very good restaurants on Hilton Head.
We were not fans of the Mexican place across the marina from the resort. They nickle & dimed for extra sour cream etc. It has been awhile since we went but we liked Alexander's, One Hot Mama's (wings), Low Country Backyard & Truffles Cafe.
Skull Creek Boathouse
Sea Shack
Old Oyster Factory
Salty Dog
San Miguels
Definitely want to try Poseidon & Hudsons next time
Pino Gelato for ice cream
So many too choose from!!
So many good to great places, but here are our choices:
1) Skull Creek Boathouse--can get crowded but the seafood throwdown is the best boil we've had in our three visits to HHI.
2) Hudson's on the Dock--local hang out that was excellent our first time, though only average our second trip
3) Alexanders--near Marriott and was a very pleasant surprise; excellent food and service (good wine list, too)
And our top choice:
**OMBRA Cucina--Always ranking in the top few restaurants on HHI, it's one of the best Italian restaurants at which we've ever dined. Reservations recommended. Chef Michael puts out exceptional food, and the service is exemplary. Topnotch wine list, as well. Exceptional experience.
