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.

Great dinner at Pearl! We arrived on time and were greeted pleasantly and shown to our table. The service was pleasant and not hurried. Our Server brought warm bread with olive oil and balsamic with the water. The Cakebread Chardonnay was very nice. She ordered the grouper and a mixed green salad while I ordered the wedge salad and seafood stew. The salads were large portions and served as good appetizers. Her grouper was beautiful and tasted accordingly. I've loved seafood stews - coppino, boulibaise, etc. since I first had one in San Francisco. Pearl's May River Seafood stew is as good as I've had - in a word Wonderful. The shrimp, scallops, and fish were all first quality, but it's the broth that makes a stew and this orange saffron laced recipe is some of the best I've ever tasted. Come hungry. The portions are substantial!
