If you are lucky, your host/server will be De-Mario. This was our first trip to a Hilton Head from the Midwest and our favorite day so far. When we called to make reservations a young man answered and provided very good parking hints (maybe Gerardo?). When checking in we asked to possibly be seated outside and were accommodated with generous care. After being seated, Mr. De-Mario thanked us for being there and from that moment forward provided us with spot on answers to our questions, recommendations based on what he was hearing from us and fun humor to boot. Added bonus - for the first time in a loooong time, we were approached by a manager (Max, I believe) who asked how were we’re doing. MAKE SURE TO GO TO QUARTERDECK!

Loved it so much we went twice. From the staff, to the oysters, salmon, gator bites and desserts. This place was hands down the best meal we had all week!

Great food with a great view in a beautiful part of Hilton Head! For apps, we shared the gator bites and charcoal roasted shrimp. For entrees, we enjoyed the local catch over sweet corn-blue crab chowder, South Carolina grouper rockefeller, and the daily fresh catch. They have a good sized drink menu with some fun cocktails. Our waitress was great. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunset.

Great spot with a gorgeous view of the harbor. We had a few apps and drinks. The SC oysters were amazing, nice and fresh. I had a specialty tequila drink with a jalapeno rim, pretty good! Overall this is a great option for you if you’re in the harbor area!

Great food and atmosphere! We enjoyed the sunset while eating our meal and it was a great time. Also very pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. Pictured are the alligator bites, octopus dinner and swordfish special.

Sitting upstairs, watching the magenta sky as the sun sets, we were having the best experience in SeaPines. Dixon our server was cheerful, attentive and fast. We eat here regularly and have always had our expectations exceeded. Grouper Rockefeller is my favorite. The shrimp are so fresh and delicious. All of the seafood is locally caught that morning. The best!

We had a lovely dinner there after trying to get a reservation. The restaurant looks amazing with the beach view. Food was lovely. I got the shrimp and grit which was good. The corn bread and calamari were pretty good too.
