- NNancySouth Carolina •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe've lived on the island for over 20 years and Frankie Bones is our go to restaurant. We like it because of the varied menu options and the excellent service. Our waiter, Julie, was very attentive and friendly. Our food was excellent. Bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer was very good. My penne with chicken was yummy, but the serving was way too large! I'll be having it for lunch for a few days... Husband got the prime rib which came out overdone. Julie immediately took it back and a new perfectly done cut came to the table within minutes! The noise in the restaurant can be a problem, but we were seated in a booth which helped for conversation. We will keep coming back!More infoFrankie Bones Restaurant & Lounge - Hilton Head IslandPrice: Moderate• American• Hilton Head•4.7

Monday night is half price off bottles of wine and they have a nice selection of wines. Michele is an excellent server and we enjoyed getting to know her. Nice cozy setting.More infoCharlie's Coastal Bistro (L'etoile Verte)Price: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head•4.8
