What to Order at Red Fish Hilton Head

Reviewers name the seafood first: sea bass, scallops, grouper, fried oysters, calamari and crab dip. The signature guava ribs come up again and again, and prime rib, ribeye and filet mignon get equally warm mentions. Sides such as Cajun truffle fries and a fried green tomato salad with burrata show up in reviews too. One reviewer felt a crab cake special was pricey for the amount, so treat this as a special-occasion price point rather than a casual dinner. The menu button above opens the current menu.

Wine, Music and Atmosphere

The restaurant holds a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and has an on-site retail wine shop with more than 1,000 bottles, so you can browse before or after dinner. Reviewers often mention live jazz or a pianist who takes requests, and one says it was a good room for adults with hearing loss. There is an outdoor fireplace on the patio. Parking is easy.
