- MMaryAsheville / Western North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoChristmas Eve dinner. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. The restaurant has a nice vibe. Fancy without being stuffy. We were sat in the main dining room which has water front views. Our waiter (I believe he said Kumar but my hearing is not good) was excellent. The food was really good. We started with honey lime shrimp & a bottle of wine Husband had flounder with a spicey vinaigrette with risotto and vegetables and I had the salmon Rockefeller with mash and asparagus. We both loved the meals we chose. Finished with Hummingbird cake (YUM!) and coffee. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.More infoELA'S On the WaterPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hilton Head Island•4.7
- AAngelaVIPOrlando / Central Florida East •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur first experience at Wiseguys was Christmas Eve dinner and it was fabulous from start to finish. We were late making plans so our original reservation was for the enclosed patio but we received a phone call that they had a high top reservation open up so we were so happy to take it! The restaurant was nicely decorated for the holiday but would be very nice any time. We each ordered something different: shrimp scampi, blackened fish, scallops, and Brussel sprouts. Everything was well presented and delicious. Although the restaurant was extremely busy, our service was exceptional. Our server checked back with us often and our drinks stayed full. This is a place that we plan to return to!More infoWiseGuys Steak & LoungePrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Hilton Head Island•4.7
