The Carolina She Crab soup was the most amazing soup ever. Dave F has the best service I've ever experienced. He was very friendly, informative, listened to everything we said and provided us an experience we will not forget. We told him we were visiting from Alaska and where we were staying and when he packed our stuff for us he brought silverware and said he figured the hotel wouldn't have any,.which he was right. He packed us fresh teas to go as well. Very thoughtful in his service. The bathroom had scrubbing salts to try. Smart move when they have a little shop that sells it. Made my hands super soft. Great view as well. I highly recommend visiting this fabulous restaurant.

This was my first time here. Unfortunately it was not up to expectations, as it t was recommended by friends who have visited before. I will say that the people were nice. My server was Nicholas G. He is a great waiter. The atmosphere was good. The food left a lot to be desired The filet mignon was very bland The vegetables and potatoes were ok The Mac and cheese tasted like something you would get from a kfc.

We were blown away by Skull Creek Dockside. We were looking for a pretty specific place for lunch one day during our vacation to Hilton Head: 1. on the water. 2. seafood, but not only seafood. 3. GF options. 4. a place that got great reviews. And we found it all! We started with the GF fried calamari & shrimp and bacon hushpuppies (which I did not try, obviously). Yes, you heard that correctly, they have fried GF seafood, and it was AMAZING! Even those in our group who eat gluten said they couldn't tell it was GF. I would go back just for that appetizer alone. The others seemed to really enjoy the hushpuppies. I wanted so badly to get their brisket, but at $23.50 for a half pound ($47 a pound!), I just couldn't do it. I have had brisket at Franklins and other Austin staples, and I just

I safely ate here while living with an ANA wheat and other gluten items allergy. I enjoyed broiled scallops and flounder (both a touch overdone, but still tasty). The beans and rice side was so good. The pan seared mussels were my favorite. There was a good portion. The accompaning white wine and tomato sauce was delicious. They serve it with bread, but had no gluten free bread to offer (ding for that). Sara, my awesome server, put it in a to go container so I could sop up that goodness at home. The beet salad was great. The potato wedges were not a hit. They were drenched in a seasoned sour cream (thin consistency). One was not so heavily covered, it was the only one eaten. Maybe ask for that on the side? My companion had a smash burger with fries and was pleased with his order. There is

An excellent location with great atmosphere and food. Our waiter was sub par but other servers appeared to be excellent. Waterfront on a sunny day!
