Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Bluffton

My husband ordered the duck & he said his was cooked perfectly - medium rare. The scalloped potatoes & veggies (green beans & carrots) were also delicious. He cleaned his plate. I had the smoked salmon appetizer which was good, not much different than what can be found in Costco or ordering online - it came with a lovely horseradish & dill sauce. I also had the crab, avocado appetizer which was more interesting. We had an early reservation which is what I prefer to eating later, but there were people waiting by the time we left around 6:30.

We had a lovely holiday feast at The Pearl. Our waitress was so friendly and the food amazing. I had a strawberry jalapeño margarita that was soooooo yummy. Will definitely return!

We were seated at 5pm just on time for our reservation. Our waitress Holly was excellent and checked on us throughout the meal to see if things were "perfect." Our food came on time and I think the Fried Calamari was one of the best I ever had. All rings and no tentacles just the way I like it. Even the bread and butter was delicious. I enjoyed the broiled seafood trio with a house salad. My husband enjoyed his Cod dish that was covered with shrimp and crabmeat. Of course we had dessert, me a cannoli and he had the decadent chocolate cake with ice cream. Terrence the manager was ever present and made sure we were enjoying our dinner. Frankie Bones is always a hit with us.

Christmas Eve dinner. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. The restaurant has a nice vibe. Fancy without being stuffy. We were sat in the main dining room which has water front views. Our waiter (I believe he said Kumar but my hearing is not good) was excellent. The food was really good. We started with honey lime shrimp & a bottle of wine Husband had flounder with a spicey vinaigrette with risotto and vegetables and I had the salmon Rockefeller with mash and asparagus. We both loved the meals we chose. Finished with Hummingbird cake (YUM!) and coffee. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good experience. Will be back!! Food was tasty. Service was helpful and friendly.
