Best Waterfront Restaurants in Bluffton

Busy holiday time and place was “full”. Had a reservation (needed!) and arrived on time. Was seated immediately and greeted by our server. Had a drink, appetizer and our entrees. All very tasty, hot and delicious ! See you again soon.

Christmas Eve dinner. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. The restaurant has a nice vibe. Fancy without being stuffy. We were sat in the main dining room which has water front views. Our waiter (I believe he said Kumar but my hearing is not good) was excellent. The food was really good. We started with honey lime shrimp & a bottle of wine Husband had flounder with a spicey vinaigrette with risotto and vegetables and I had the salmon Rockefeller with mash and asparagus. We both loved the meals we chose. Finished with Hummingbird cake (YUM!) and coffee. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Return trip to this casual neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and excellent service (thanks, lori!). varied menu has something for everyone, they offer seating indoor dining room, in the bar area, or on a large outdoor patio. Our meals (including oysters, grilled fish special, seafood platter, ceaser salad) were excellent, a welcome, fun dinner after a long day of travelling. Plenty of parking nearby and - a bonus - Shelter Cove christmas decorations are quite festive! We could eat here every day...and we just might.

We both had the catch of the day which was a sea bass which we had blackened. It was cooked to perfection and was amazing! It was a little pricy though in my opinion. I had it the way it comes with 2 sides and my friend had it on a Kale salad, so they were pretty flexible in prep options. We got there a little early and they gave us a choice to wait a few more minutes for outdoor dining which we said we were happy to do. It is always nice to eat outdoors and it was a lovely evening, but there was live entertainment and it was pretty loud but still nice music -- just hard to have a conversation. Overall it was a great experience and I would go again for sure.

The food was delicious. You get a lot for the money. It was quick and the staff was friendly. Local ingredients make it even better.
