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.

LagerHead is not your typical tavern; Chef Michael Toscano, a James Beard “Rising Star Chef” Semi-Finalist, inspires the dining experience at LagerHead Tavern. The name and décor for LagerHead were inspired by the indigenous Loggerhead Sea Turtle and the natural beauty of Hilton Head Island. Developed by Chef Toscano, the menu showcases southern comfort food with a twist, using fresh, regional ingredients and features signature items such as our House-Smoked Chicken Wings and the Low Country Reuben featuring in house pulled pork and smoked ham. The Grilled Salmon Salad is completely unique in that we use fresh grilled salmon that we prepare every morning. Fresh Grilled Oysters are also a Lagerhead Staple, shucked fresh per order and prepared using garlic butter and breadcrumbs for an oyster packed full of low country flavor!!

The Herb House, erected in 1734, located inside the Pirates' House, is said to be the oldest house in Georgia.

    The Market at Michael Anthony's has just reopened their new space of separating the dining area from the "market". It is beautiful. Outdoor dining is also available. As always, the food and service is outstanding. Four of us...two had the hanger steak (perfectly cooked with crispy potatoes and fresh green beans). One had the spaghetti with crab with fresh bright vegetables. Perfectly cooked. One had the pasta special of penne with shaved ribeye, spinach and mushrooms and truffle cream. Prior to entrees we shared the appetizers of meatballs and bread with cheese/tomato sauce. All spectacular! Don't forget to check out the market!!!

    Honestly, if the theater dining menu is not the best value on the island, I don’t know what it. Outstanding in every way - service, food, value.
