Best Waterfront Restaurants in Hilton Head Island

Enjoyed a lovely pre-Christmas brunch with family. We are locals and SCD is one of our favorites!

We had family visiting from out of town and wanted to bring them to this iconic seafood restaurant. First--- our server Abby was amazing. Probably the best server I've had in quite some time if ever. We shared a dozen oysters to start. I had the Grilled Seafood Collection which was a perfect combination. The ambience was very nice. The food was great.

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.
