WiseGuys features several small plates including pizzettas, sliders, nightly specialty items, not to mention our steaks! Highlights of the menu include local seafood creations and hand selected premium steaks from sterling silver. Our steaks are aged a minimum of 28 days for maximum flavor and tenderness in every bite. An aged steak is not just an aged steak at wiseguys; it is a wiseguys prepared steak, and is truly the best on hilton head. In fact, WiseGuys has such a strong menu and following that we were voted "Best Martini Bar," "Best Steak," and "Best Tapas" in recent years. Unique to the island for its contemporary and sophisticated feel, WiseGuys has quickly become Hilton Head Island's see-and-be-seen dining hot spot. Our luxurious dining room, accompanied by a modern bar and lounge, will transport you away from the island and into an urban restaurant atmosphere. The amazing ambiance is second-to-none on Hilton Head. WiseGuys features an expansive bar, a cosmopolitan lounge, a semi-private dining room with an award-winning wine list of over 200 bottles. We also have a Wine Keeper system, which ensures every glass of wine is as good as the first. You are invited through the stainless-steel doors into our plush and friendly environment where you can savor our steaks, sample the wines, and share our passion.

Service was excellent, no complaints there. Went on new years, the dining room was hot and muggy. Started with a flavorless Caesar salad, tasted like mayonnaise on iceberg lettuce. salt n pepper didn't help it. Girlfriend got the rigatoni rozia. Noodles were massive and undercooked, and the sauce was lackluster at best, wouldn't stay on the noodles. Just fell off the noodles like water / The 14oz ribeye had a patchy crust, the cowboy butter $4 was hot garbage. Steak tasted like it was from longhorn. Their neighboring restaurant had a much better steak for lot less $ (coffee ribeye at Frankie bones.) Best thing we had all night was the small $8 side of cream spinach. They took care of the pasta dish and Caesar salad, but honestly wouldn't go back knowing what they charge for their food and not being truly great. Disappointing experience except for the nice waitress!

Overly trendy ambience gave the place a vibe that seemed like it was trying too hard to be cool. Service was adequate but mediocre. Food was above average in quality and quantity. We had a booth for two that seemed like an ideal spot until they seated a family of six right next to us. The group had a 9 or 10 year savant with a loud grating voice who commented on everything from the calamari to world affairs. Would probably not go back.
