    Crane’s is the best steakhouse on the island. The food has been outstanding over the 20 years we have been coming. Diane is the best server and makes you feel like family. We will be Crane’s loyalists as long as they are open!

    We always to to Crane's Steakhouse when we visit Hilton Head Island. It is consistently excellent! It is the only place I order steak on island. The atmosphere is fun and reminds me of an English pub. The service is impeccable. The wine list is exceptional. And, of course, the food is delicious! This visit was no exception. I can't wait to go again.
