Best Live Music Restaurants in Hilton Head Island

ELA’S On the Water was the perfect spot for our Valentine’s Day dinner. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, with stunning waterfront views that made the evening feel extra special. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive—and every course was beautifully presented. We started with a delicious appetizer, followed by perfectly cooked entrées that showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors were outstanding, and the wine selection complemented our meal perfectly. To top it off, dessert was an absolute treat. The ambiance, food, and service all combined to create an unforgettable night. Whether for a romantic evening or a special celebration, ELA’S is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be returning!

Very nice evening with another couple celebrating Valentines. Food and service are consistently outstanding at Red Fish, and ambiance is always great...... It's a very popular spot that everyone enjoys. We don't need a special occasion to dine at Hilton Head's finest restaurants, as we dine out almost every night, but this is always a good choice for a cozy & romantic setting to treat yourself to excellent cuisine and a memorable dining experience. We ordered the NY Strip to share and our guests had the Halibut special and the Salmon. All were beautiful in presentation, and served timely and hot. Server checked on us often which is extremely important to me (something for which isn't often given enough credit). Thank you most kindly & see you next time.

My party enjoyed the filet Oscar from the early dining menu. Everything was absolutely delicious and the potions were more than generous! I ordered my filet medium rare and it was definitely on the rare side. Both of my friends ordered their filets medium. One came out medium rare, the second was definitely rare. She sent it back and when it came back one end was still quite rare, but she kept it.

The food here is delicious with lots to choose from including vegan options that have never disappointed. Servings are generous, you won’t leave here hungry! Attentive and knowledgeable staff plus lovely background soft jazz and artistic setting makes this one of my favourite restaurants on Hilton Head Island. We will be back 😁

Our group really enjoyed the seasonal Igloo experience. The service was great and the food options were interesting.
