Restaurants: This is a difficult one because there are hundreds of restaurants on the island, and everyone will have his/her favorites. Personally, I don't bother with BBQ, diner, or burger type places--those you can find anywhere. For seafood, you have lots of great choices, and while I will give you my short list, others will surely make other recommendations and will be just as valid.
Fishcamp on Broad Creek--My favorite and you can make reservations unlike many other places. Very good raw bar and a superb shrimp and grits.
Skull Creek Boathouse--Very good, extensive menu, best low country boil around, no reservations. Get there very early or prepare to wait a long time.
Hudson's on the Dock--Also good but like Skull Creek Boathouse, they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait.
Ela's on the Water--Right across the marina from the resort--walk it in 10 minutes. Good food, service, views, and they take reservations.
If you want the best Italian for a change of pace, Nunzio's, Michael Anthony's, and OMBRA Cucina are all excellent with the nod going to Nunzio's as the best. All three take reservations. Finally, for a very good pastry or savory baked item, Hilton Head Social Bakery--also just across the marina--is superb if pricey (raspberry macaron--$8).
Well, I think that about answers all your questions for now. Enjoy!
Great list. I think I would add Coast and Quarterdeck. Both take reservations too which is not easy to find. If you can’t get reservations at this point I would suggest getting an early dinner before 5 or you will wait for hours at any of these. Be at Hudsons right at 4:30 when they open the deck. People also love Salty Dog in Sea Pines but its more of a tourist trap then anything in my opinion. Good outdoor deck though plus great hush puppies and ice cream.
Also would throw in Jane’s for breakfast
