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.

Fabulous experience. Typically I am reluctant to order steak when dining out but have no regrets here. The Tenderloin was a CB perfect medium rare and and a great cut of meat. Portions were reasonable and the service was great. We will be back for sure.

WiseGuys is always a fantastic dining experience. We have been eating there for a number of years and it never fails to impress us. Definitely make it one of your regular stops. Our group this time enjoyed the firecracker shrimp app, Cesar salad, shrimp bisque, meatloaf, beef filets, sides of mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and creamed spinach. We finished the evening with apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream and cheesecake. Yum! Oh and the wine and a dirty martini washed it all down. The service is just as good as the food. Can’t wait to return!
