- NNancySouth Carolina •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur server, Kara set the tone of the evening She was welcoming and gracious with awesome energy !!!!  The baked oysters never disappoint and the American Wagyu is something to dream about until next time. The yellowfin grouper was fresh and delicious. Finished off with the delicious tart and sweet Keylime pie and cappuccino. 10/10 !!!! Chef hits a home run every time !

- TThomasVIPAtlanta •15 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis is an outstanding restaurant! We ate here last year while in Beaufort. This time was even better. I chose a high top table in the lounge…like being where there’s more activity. We had Ozzie as our waiter, and he was the bartender as well. He was excellent, great service with friendliness as well. I had Chicken with collards and selected broccolini instead of potatoes. My husband had the Filet with potatoes and asparagus. We both had the grilled Caesar. Everything was first class decadent! If we come back next year, we’ll have a third visit.More infoBreakwater Restaurant & Bar - BeaufortPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Beaufort•4.7
- CChristinaCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoOur dinner was perfect start to finish. We sat on the patio with our pup and were immediately greeted warmly and with a fresh bowl of water. There was a nice outdoor fire, soft lighting. Our server was friendly and on point. The food we ate was all delicious-salad special with Thai chili calamari, lobster bisque, sirloin, crab cake, beet salad, cheesecake and creme brûlée. The sirloin was butter soft, best mashed potatoes my husband has ever eaten and I can say the same about the crème brûlée. It’s a nice date night with beautiful views of the water. The dog friendly patio was a must for us. I highly recommend eating here and we would come back given the chance.More infoSaltus River GrillPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Beaufort•4.7
