Where it is
Get directionsThe Studio is at 20 Executive Park Road, and it is one of the most distinctive dinners on Hilton Head Island. It is an artist-owned restaurant that doubles as a gallery: local art hangs in the dining room, more is for sale in the art gallery and store, and a musician plays classical or singer-songwriter guitar in the evening. The menu leans toward healthier cooking, with grass-fed beef, fresh local seafood and a long list of vegan dishes. The patio is pet-friendly.

The Studio is open for dinner. The menu centers on seafood and American food, with fine-dining prices.

Meat and seafood eaters are covered too, with dishes like grouper and shrimp and vidalia onion bisque.
