• Seafood • Hilton Head Island

Skull Creek Dockside Restaurant, dropped its anchor in the Fall of 2017 and forever changed the culinary landscape of the Lowcountry. In early 2017 the partners of the restaurant began to transform it into their vision for Hilton Head's newest waterfront dining destination. This restaurant, which resembles an old-style river house, is full of authentic architecture, reclaimed wood, and nautical accents that leave you feeling like you've stepped into a Melville novel. The sweeping waterfront view is showcased by full pane glass windows throughout the restaurant which you can enjoy no matter where you dine. The covered patio dining area, and massive outdoor bar, the shark bar, allows patrons to enjoy the Lowcountry climate and serve to further highlight the amazing sunset views over skull creek. If you are concerned about long wait times, the good news is the restaurant accepts reservations and provides a family recreation area between dockside and boathouse. Kids and adults can enjoy a variety of games, the very popular shark bar and 'shrimp boat' playground. Kids can play while families are waiting for a table, or simply enjoying the amazing waterfront views.

Our Anniversary dinner was delicious. Gaston, the server we had was terrific. He was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, personable and efficient. My Osso Buco, recommended by Gaston, was great and on par with my wife’s which is wonderful. Thanks Gaston and Ombra for helping us celebrate our 41 anniversary.

Celebrated our 45th anniversary with an excellent meal here. Our hostess brought us to a nice table in dining room and a little card wishing a happy anniversary and stating we were getting a dessert on them! Michael our waiter started us out with complimentary mini champagne flutes too! The appetizer of flash-fried shrimp and calamari was honestly one the best appys that we have ever tasted. Highly recommend! Our wedge and garden salads were fresh and plentiful. Michael assisted with our choice Entrees of petit filet mignon and signature WiseGuys meatloaf made with ground ribeye and sirloin. Both along with 4 sides were more than we could handle but simply delicious. Service was attentive with water glasses refilled often and food delivered and plates removed with perfect timing. We hardly were able to share a well presented lite specialty dessert. All in all a wonderful meal and memorable celebration of a long marriage. ❤️
