Great place. However, extremely loud. Not sure why they have to have the music so loud in an already noisy atmosphere. Will most likely not go back because of this issue. Could not carry on a normal conversation.

About the restaurant

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.

Everything was great, everyone was great. Heidi made some recommendations and all were as she said. It was a nice last meal with friends on our last night in HHI for 2024 before going back home to NY.

We had a good meal at Nectar. Both the Chicken and Waffles and Pork Chop were excellent- largely portioned, fresh, and well-prepared. Dessert was excellent as well, and we also enjoyed the in-house coffee. Serving staff was attentive. We plan on adding this to the short list.

We were hoping for a sunset view but it pretty obscured in the outdoor seating area and wind was a bit too much to enjoy outside so we moved to an indoor heated space and that made for a more enjoyable meal. The weather certainly isn’t anything against the establishment and they offered a great alternative. Our server was really wonderful, very attentive and friendly. The food was good, portions were ample and priced good. We wished we’d had more of a view, but we had a view of a little bit of water and one of the bridges. The staff was phenomenal so this gets our vote!

It was our 3rd wedding anniversary. The experience was beyond our expectations. Our waitress, as well as our servers, were on point in every way. We were treated very kindly and really special the entire time. The food was very tasty, hot and delicious. We have no complaints and are looking forward to returning!
