In compliance with Governor Henry McMaster’s executive order requiring restaurants across the state discontinue on-site dining to slow the spread of the coronavirus, The Sea Pines Resort has temporarily closed the dining rooms at all of our restaurants and made several changes to our food and beverage service.

Starting at 11am Friday, March 20, we will offer a special to-go “Best of Sea Pines” menu, featuring favorite dishes from all of our restaurants, with FREE delivery within Sea Pines or curbside pickup at the Harbour Town Clubhouse. Gratuity is not included but greatly appreciated. No discounts apply.

The Sea Pines Resort remains open and is committed to doing all it can to provide exemplary food service without compromising the health and safety of our guests. As soon as the temporary ban is lifted, we will resume our regular restaurant operations.

We both had the catch of the day which was a sea bass which we had blackened. It was cooked to perfection and was amazing! It was a little pricy though in my opinion. I had it the way it comes with 2 sides and my friend had it on a Kale salad, so they were pretty flexible in prep options. We got there a little early and they gave us a choice to wait a few more minutes for outdoor dining which we said we were happy to do. It is always nice to eat outdoors and it was a lovely evening, but there was live entertainment and it was pretty loud but still nice music -- just hard to have a conversation. Overall it was a great experience and I would go again for sure.

My wife and I recently finished a week in HHI/SC, and I booked a reservation at the Quaterdeck as it was advertised as upscale. We were definitely overdressed for their interpretation of upscale. Having said that our waiter Lenert was OUTSTANDING, and saved the night with exceptional service!!!

The staff seemed reluctant to seat people outside - during a sunset. It seemed implausible. I don't know if they were waiting for a tip or what... but there were people waiting outside... and we had a reservation. But still waiting - there were only 5 tables out back facing the sound (because of social distancing) - all empty... and they seated a couple while we were waiting who just walked up. We are owners and regular patrons - made a reservation for my wife's birthday... but had to badger them to seat us before the sun went down. The waitress was kind... bartender was rude (we weren't the only ones who closed our tabs because he seemed so put out... and the drink was watered down). The food was exceptional. It's a shame... great location/view... spectacular chef... poorly managed floor.

I was at Quarterdeck several years ago and I know COVID is tough but the ambience is awful. Prices same but atmosphere awful. Waiter great. Food very good. But several empty tables put by kitchen and just felt let down. I'm sure outside would have been better.

Seated exactly where we asked for a few minutes past our reservation time but that was perfectly fine. The food is always outstanding and this is a place I visit every time I come to Hilton Head. The Tuna and Gouda dip (add bacon and blackened shrimp) are an absolute must. The swordfish was cooked perfect and also the sauce they use for the shrimp and grits should be bottled because it’s incredible. If you enjoy cocktails they do heavy pours, so you always get your money’s worth. The outside seating at sunset is stunning and the service is first rate!

It was a little difficult to find. And parking was tough. So, you'll want to get there extra early just to find a parking spot. Otherwise, it was great! Great atmostphere, great waterfront scenes. The food was amazing. And our server couldn't have been any better if he wanted to. Kudos to Denzel!

Good seafood, and excellent service by Brian. Hostess was monotone, refused to smile and unwelcoming. Started our night poorly but the server offset the young lady at the door’s lack of attention and poor attitude. Food was satisfactory.

This place was highly recommended because of the view. We were unable to get a sunset dining time two days in advance. The restaurant was nice. Food was goo. Nothing fancy. We never saw our waiter after he took our order and no one came to check on us at all. We waited for at least 30 minutes after our food was gone and no one ever came. We finally tallied the bill in our head the best we could, left the cash and left. They seemed to be staffed ok for the patrons. Not sure what the problem was.

Service was great. We asked for a good view when we made the reservation and we ended up at the best corner window table where we watched a lightning storm from all sides. Food came out quickly and hot, no issues. Waitress was very accommodating and quick. We arrived early and the area surrounding the restaurant was fun to walk around to shop and view boats while waiting for our table.

The food was good—waiter was nice and attentive. The ambience wasn’t great. Maybe due to Covid? We were stuck in a room with no view and very few people. Wish we had a view. Salmon topped with peach chutney was good. Blackened scallops were also good. Wasn’t thrilled with the oysters/crabmeat appetizer. Wouldn’t be on my list of outstanding restaurants to visit.

So this could be a fantastic restaurant but when they seat 2 people on a table laid for 8 it kinda says something. Food was good, service was very good and right on point but ambiance was lacking, cheap tables, plastic glasses and run down looks don't really go with the high prices due to the location. Could try harder but they probably don't have to as they get tourist trade anyway.

Food was amazing. Calamari was tender and plentiful. Fried shrimp was cooked perfectly and crab cakes were delectable. All paired with a bottle of the Sea Pines Cabernet, and our dinner was perfect. There was live music outside which we didn't get to enjoy. It would be nice if they piped in the live music for the inside diners. Overall, the restaurant was amazing, and I would highly recommend.

We had a reservation for 7:15. We did not exit the restaurant until well after 9. Service was extremely slow. Cups were stacked on our table instead of being removed. We waited along time for dessert and for our check. Food was good but may not return with the family.

Excellent service and seating in upstairs dining room with a view. Great spacing between tables. The only down side was I ordered a kale salad which was good and fresh but the kale was full size not the more tender baby kale which is better for salads! Good flavors though. My husband ordered crab cakes and he liked it. Crab bisque was also very tasty!

Wished I’d known it costs 9 bucks just to get into that area. View is pretty and the restaurant was clean. Our server was snarky. Having been a partner in many restaurants he would not have last in my employ. He was ugly to my wife to the point I almost walked out. When she asked if she could have an appetizer cooked just a little longer you would have thought we were pulling out his fingernails. Downhill from there. When asked which of two entrees he would recommend he advised her he wasn’t eating it. Opposite ends of the spectrum he said and would not advise. I would never go back. Too many other great restaurants to choose.

Very disappointed with this restaurant as I made a reservation a week ahead and requested outdoor seating. When we got to restaurant, was told there was a waiting list for outside and we could sit inside. I asked about my reservation and was told basically “too bad”. Since it was late and we had no other options, we ate there. Food was good but no ambiance and disappointed about not being outside.
