"The food was exquisite. We had the tasting menu. 6 courses, each one building off the last and leading perfectly into the next. Lots of flavor exploding out of little bite size parts of beautiful creations. I was amazed at the creativity, flavors and presentation! The service was wonderful. Very attentive. I wish they explained the food in more common speak though. We had to keep asking what things were after the explanations assumed we spoke French or ultra foodie language. We are not generally folk who eat ultra fancy foods so we would be like okkk but that does that even mean. More accessible language would have been nice. The layout is small and intimate with an open kitchen. That's amazing to see the team of quite, focused talented chefs doing their thing. The head chef was kind to his kitchen and always looking over the quality of the dishes. It was wonderful to see the inner workings of the well oiled kitchen. The price point for the food was fine but BEWARE the wine pairing. That was almost as much or more than the food. This made the total way over what we would even spend for the best meal of the year or decade. I was thinking dang I coulda given my parents a weekend getaway all expenses paid for this amount. We shoulda done the math earlier. So anyway if you wanna spend about $500 for three people for a very special occasion you're in the right place. If you're rich enough to spend 1K on dinner, come loan me a grand cuz my credit card bill is now on fleek."

"It was my last night in Hilton Head so I knew I wanted to have a great meal with a drink! I decided to come here with an open mind not knowing what awaited me. When I first drove up to enter the resort, I wasn't aware there was a cash entry fee just to enter the resort! Had I known this in advance, I would have made sure to have cash in my wallet. I quickly found an ATM nearby and came back to enter. As it was nighttime, it was pitch black with minimal lights so I made sure to drive slow. I didn't realize the property was this big and it was a nice adventure up to the restaurant! It was a pleasant drive and I quite enjoyed it. Upon arriving outside the restaurant, you're taken aback by the properties itself which was beautiful and statuesque. I went up the stairs and then proceeded to the restaurant and sat at the bar. The staff was super professional and they pulled out the chair and helped me get closer to the bar, which was nice! I decided to sit at the end of the bar, which was a smart choice as the night progressed. The restaurant is quite enchanting inside with tons of seating and you could tell the entire experience is all about the customer, which I can appreciate. I ordered an old fashioned to start, which was excellent! They even used fresh nutmeg, which is what really brought that whole drink together. After hearing the specials and reading through the menu, I decided on oysters, a wedge salad and the Scottish smoked salmon. The oysters were great and all 3 sauces it came with complimented them well. I found the wedge salad to be bland and felt it needed more seasoning. Although I asked for fresh cracked black pepper, that still didn't bring that dish together for me. Now, I asked for my salmon to be cooked medium rare, which was perfect! The mashed potatoes had this silky smooth texture and texture wise, were some of the best mashed potatoes I've had. However, that dish was lacking some serious salt and flavor for me! Had that seasoning been added, this would have been a magnificent dish. Aside from the lack of salt and seasoning on my dishes, the food was still very good. While at the bar, I ended up conversing with the staff, who were not only attentive, but engaging and made sure that my experience there was extraordinary. For me, they made my night and I will definitely be returning in the future. All I can say is this is a restaurant you should come visit and you will not be disappointed with the overall experience!"
