Red Fish Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Our waitress Jen was absolutely amazing. She was so attentive and kind. You can really tell she loves her job. The restaurant was patient with us when we asked to potentially move inside but ultimately decided outside. Our waitress also told us about the chef who is truly great at her craft and did not disappoint. Appetizers, entrees, and dessert were all so well done. Definitely worth the stop, and was a perfect start to our week in Hilton head! Service and food 11/10!
Great location and friendly staff. The food was excellent, we would recommend the Blue Crab dip to start with..We will certainly return!
We had an incredible dinner at Redfish and the standout dish by far was the shrimp and grits. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—easily one of the best versions I’ve had. The shrimp were fresh and cooked just right, with a smoky, slightly spicy sauce that brought everything together. The grits were creamy and buttery with just the right texture—comfort food at its finest. The atmosphere was upscale yet relaxed, with great service and a nice selection of wines and cocktails to complement the meal. If you’re a fan of shrimp and grits, Redfish restaurant is a must-visit.
Had a fantastic meal at Red Fish 10.1.2023. The blue crab dip and crab bisque were phenomenal. For entrees, we had scallops and the shrimp / crab burger. Everything was prepared very well with the exception of the french fries (soggy). Marissa was our server and she was excellent. I would eat here again if visiting Hilton Head in the future.
Absolutely perfect dinner! My husband’s Chilean sea bass was to die for and my red snapper was equally as amazing and unique. If you are looking for a flavor-forward dinner choice, this is your spot! We also had the calamari appetizer and key lime pie for dessert, both absolutely delicious! They clearly put effort into everything they put in front of you, which is more than I can say for other popular dinner spots on the island that we have tried this week while on HHI. Red fish was our favorite by far- definitely worth the splurge! We cannot wait to go back!
This place was a last-minute reservation. We are new to the Hilton Head area so we are exploring new restaurants and Hilton Head has plenty of top notch restaurants. This is a beautiful elegant, white tablecloth with candles type of restaurant. They have live piano music and you are literally and completely surrounded by racks upon racks of fabulous wines! The atmosphere in this restaurant is low lighting and warm with lots of wood and artwork. It almost has a slight Polynesian feel to it. The menu is simple but great! Everything was fabulous. Our waitress Betsy was extremely thorough and upbeat. I recommend this place if you feel like having an elegant dinner inside or even outside. You can have An Elegant white tablecloth inside or outside under twinkle lights Under the oak trees. I recommend this restaurant highly.
Great food and service. The steak, potato stack, scallops were all delicious. We also enjoyed our desserts, especially the carrot cake. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Met the owner who was kind and took a group picture on their beautiful patio. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful Anniversary dinner tonight. I can say the entree sides were top notch. The Potatoes Daphnois were superb. Hard to beat on the island.
