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.

    Red Fish is one of our favorite HH restaurants. Last night I started with the Special Fried Green Tomato and Burrata salad that was perfect. The slight crunch on the tomatoes combined with the silkiness of the burrata was the perfect combo My wife had the Smoked Salmon appetizer, which is always a 12/10. Beautifully smoked salmon with crème fraiche, pickled onions and capers - Yummm! I then had the seared tuna appetizer as my 2nd. Perfectly cooked (seared on outside and raw on inside) with a tangy seaweed salad! My wife had the Edamame Hummus as her 2nd. I can’t begin to describe the flavors! We finished the carrot cake. Always great! Can’t wait to return to Red Fish.

    The experience at Mesu was great! Our waitress was awesome and helped suggest items to order. I loved the mix/fusion of Mexican and Sushi. We ordered sushi rolls and they were excellent. It did take a little longer than expected to receive our food (we had a tour reservation/uber to catch). I would definitely go back!
