Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Hilton Head Island

A must-go restaurant if you're visiting HHI. We will return.

Ela’s was excellent! It was recommended by a friend and we are so glad we tried it. My husband had the Snapper and I had the short ribs. Both dishes were so delicious! Beautiful cozy restaurant on the water. And we loved the music they played throughout the restaurant. We will be back for sure next time we are in Hilton Head. Thank you!

We have visited Charlie's previously but this was our first time dining in the bar. Very intimate with a full menu and a bar menu. The food and service was excellent as usual but our evening was made by the friendliness of the staff and especially so by Anthony our server. We felt like family and Charlie would be proud.

We dine at the studio, particularly when taking friends out who are omnivores. This allows us to provide our guests with outstanding food choices while offering outstanding vegan options. This unique combination and  the restaurant's ambiance make The Studio a great selection. Several people in this growing climate of increased awareness of vegan food served at a high level will also choose The Studio.

We always look forward to our return visits to Lucky Rooster and being taken care of by OZ. The early dining menu was a pleasant surprise and did not disappoint. Our group enjoyed the octopus appetizer, pear and arugula salad and Caesar salad. Some had the short rib (always a favorite) and the trout. Do not pass up the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream One of the local gems not to be overlooked
