- GGregoryVIPChicago / Illinois •24 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur Absolute “Go To” restaurant on the island! Everything about Charlie’s is fantastic. The menu entrees are changed daily depending on availability of their fish options. We have had many of the appetizers but generally go back to their escargot. You will always have a great entree and the Pave’ Chocolat for dessert is a must try. Highly Recommended!!!More infoCharlie's Coastal Bistro (L'etoile Verte)Price: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.8
- DDempseySouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoELA’S On the Water was the perfect spot for our Valentine’s Day dinner. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, with stunning waterfront views that made the evening feel extra special. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive—and every course was beautifully presented. We started with a delicious appetizer, followed by perfectly cooked entrées that showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors were outstanding, and the wine selection complemented our meal perfectly. To top it off, dessert was an absolute treat. The ambiance, food, and service all combined to create an unforgettable night. Whether for a romantic evening or a special celebration, ELA’S is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be returning!More infoELA'S On the WaterPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.7
- JJosephVIPAtlanta •166 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoVery nice evening with another couple celebrating Valentines. Food and service are consistently outstanding at Red Fish, and ambiance is always great...... It's a very popular spot that everyone enjoys. We don't need a special occasion to dine at Hilton Head's finest restaurants, as we dine out almost every night, but this is always a good choice for a cozy & romantic setting to treat yourself to excellent cuisine and a memorable dining experience. We ordered the NY Strip to share and our guests had the Halibut special and the Salmon. All were beautiful in presentation, and served timely and hot. Server checked on us often which is extremely important to me (something for which isn't often given enough credit). Thank you most kindly & see you next time.More infoRed Fish - Hilton HeadPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.7
- RRobertJacksonville / Northeast Florida •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOmbra is my favorite Hilton Head restaurant for date night. I had the special ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce. It was cooked to perfection and delicious! Great food, great service, great ambiance. Probably not the best for kids, but I have brought them before….More infoOMBRA Cucina ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Hilton Head•4.7
- DDaenaVIPSouth Carolina •72 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMA’s is the #1 restaurant to celebrate anything and everything in the HHI/Bluffton area. Service is outstanding, no matter who your server is. We had Eleanor (again) and she is fabulous. Very attentive and knowledgeable and helpful. The food is consistently wonderful. We’ve never had anything less than stellar at MA’s. While the ambience is nice, I feel like MA’s could use a bit of a touch-up.More infoMichael Anthony's Cucina ItalianaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Hilton Head•4.8
