A very nice place to sit - during a gentle shower (outside tables are covered, which is very nice), and eat oysters (which were well presented and tasty), gorgonzola garlic bread (to die for) while sipping wine and enjoying the view of the harbor. Got the stuffed lobster special - excellent flavor, lobster was a bit dry (I'd never seen... More

A relatively new presence on Hilton Head, this restaurant is located in the Shelter Harbor area. Don't miss it!
