Our recent trip to Hilton Head inspired me write this blog about the 3 best restaurants we have found on Hilton Head Island so far. Hilton Head has so many delicious restaurants, it is difficult to select only three so I have categorized them.
The restaurant we recommend the most for food and service is The Sage Room. It is a small restaurant tucked away behind a shopping center, and the food is to die for! We go to The Sage Room every time we are in Hilton Head. On our most recent trip we enjoyed a Friday night sipping Rombauer Chardonnay and eating some of the best seafood on the island. We are sorry we did not take pictures of our meals, but the presentation was so amazing that we dove right in and licked our plates clean. We began by sharing the crab cake appetizer. It was very rich and creamy almost like a casserole served over red peppers and creamed corn. Travis ordered the Almond Crusted Tuna, and it was unbelievable! The seared tuna was served over rice and haricot vert with a Asian wasabi sauce. I had several bites!! I ordered and devoured the Halibut, which was served with sautéed spinach and a risotto cake topped with a tomato basil sauce. I have to say that the risotto cake made the dish! The Sage Room is by far the best restaurant on the island. It is packed by 7:30pm, so reservations are definitely needed unless you want to wait. Call for directions to this hidden gem.

Our favorite restaurant for the ambiance is The Jazz Corner. This is another restaurant we visit every time we go to Hilton Head Island. It is situated in the corner of a shopping center close to the Sea Pines Circle and is decorated like a traditional old-time Jazz Club. There is a stage centered on the back wall surrounded by small tables and slightly raised banquets. The live music is incredible! They truly succeeded in their goal to create “an acoustically perfect room with tuned house instruments in a rich, comfortable environment”. Go on a Sunday night…the band “Deas Guyz” plays every Sunday, and they are the best band on the island! The picture above was taken with my cell phone of Deas Guyz playing the last time we were there. We wanted them to play at our wedding, but they were already booked. We took some friends there the Sunday night after our wedding, and everyone had a blast!! This restaurant sells out even in the off-season...reservations are a must.

The next restaurant was a tough choice. It is our favorite restaurant to have lunch: Bistro 17. This charming restaurant is best enjoyed on a beautiful day when you can sit outside. It is nestled on the back side of Shelter Cove Marina with a gorgeous view (pictured above). I highly recommend the chicken salad croissant with a side Bistro salad. Another bonus: the restaurant is pet friendly and even has a menu for your furry friend. We love sitting out on the patio with a bottle of wine, soaking up the afternoon and daydreaming of our future yacht.
