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.

Top notch as always - the Bluffton Room never disappoints. I do wish the regular menu had a little more variety (it's very steak-heavy), but I usually end up with one of the non-steak daily specials anyway. Last night was roasted duck, and it was outstanding. My wife's fish was also excellent. We topped it off with the bananas foster desert, which is always a special treat. Service was excellent, drinks were well made - like I said, the Bluffton Room never disappoints. We'll be back.

We started with a NY Eve ball drop cocktail which was fun and tasty; Pickled shrimp for a shared app for the table- delish! Our entrees were all very good: - southern chicken salad sandwich, fired chicken cutlet on brioche, shrimp and grits and Mahi Mahi sandwich —all freshly prepped and served hot. We had an enjoyable time and will return. Glad we made a reservation! Thank you.

Our server, Bryce, was exceptional. He recommended the specialty oysters with wagyu beef which were delicious, as was the rest of our meal. We will definitely return.
