We've eaten here several times and always have a great meal. The meatloaf, the fish, everything is good. This is simply the best restaurant for the money we've eaten at on the island.

This is another very popular (meaning crowded) HH eatery. We made reservations (recommended) and were seated close to the designated time. The standard menu is big here and they also had separate Octoberfest and specials menus on the night of our visit. So many good choices, even the pickiest eaters will be happy!! We started with the cold antipasto (great for sharing) and the tomato Caprese (really fresh mozzarella), off to a fantastic start. For entrees, we tried the chicken Paesano (really tasty preparation), the spaghetti with clams (lots of fresh clams) and the cod Savannah (an awesome dish). The carrot cake we split for dessert was easily the best we've ever had. This place is very active and a bit noisy but a lot of fun for a group dining out. Our server was excellent throughout the meal and prices are reasonable when considering the food quality. Highly recommend!!

Reservation with Open Table needed. First seated in low wingback chairs which were not suitable for table, and were quickly replaced with straight back chairs which were perfect. The buffet was great, with an array of both breakfast and lunch options. All were artfully prepared, arranged and replenished. A nice selection of interesting items. Too bad you just can't eat it all! Dessert table an added treat!$22 well worth it. Wasn't informed of $10 mimosa fee which we couldn't even drink.Server inattentive.

We had a special birthday dinner here for my wife. There are few restaurants on Hilton Head with good ocean views. This one may be the best. The weather was perfect to sit outside with the ocean in view and a gently breeze. Our dinner was quite good including the champagne and nice dessert. Service was impeccable. Afterwards we stayed and enjoyed seeing it get dark, the moon coming out and shining on the water. Truly a special evening. Upon leaving we were surprised to see all the people eating inside in the very cool dining room missing the fresh air and moonlight. To each his own.

My food wasn’t very good not much flavor and service wasn’t special. It was really busy but happy I found other restaurants there that were much better. Microwaved my salmon to warm it then came back burnt really??? Anyway not going back there. Burnt vegetables really??? I wouldn’t recommend it. I try not to send food back over and over. When he brought the plate he pretty much dropped it in front of me so no not going back there.Please feel free to contact me [email protected].

In short, the atmosphere and the meal was perfect. I don't think you'll be disappointed.Now for the breakdown - of all the excellent venues on the island to help celebrate our anniversary, we chose Sage Room. We started with the Spring Roll and Oysters; just delicious. The main course consisted of the Short Rib and Tuna; again, delicious. Our server was Marquis, who was pleasant and professional, just needed to be a little more attentive. All in all, it was an excellent experience.

Stopped in for dinner tonight. Wonderful place. Lots of stuff on the menu and we decided to start with the beef carpaccio which was good. My wife liked her filet sliders and I liked my short rib sliders. Rachel, our server was excellent. Friendly, efficient, checked back and didn't auction off the food. Prices were not bad and like I said, this was the best overall meal of our trip. Well worth stopping by.

We wanted to try something a little bit “cleaner” than the other restaurants on the island. This delivered. Cute little cottage off the beaten path. Ample parking. Outdoor seating. Friendly service. Try the dancing mango yogurt. So good. Perfect amount of sweet and sour.

Caramelized onion and apple baked Brie. I’m salivating thinking about it.I had the Pomegranate duck. It did not disappoint.My wife had Prosciutto-wrapped scallops topped with Peach chutney. I sampled one of these large scallops, and we agreed that they were the best we had ever had. We split a rich slice chocolate espresso cake, enough for two.The Martin Lesch Band were on point all evening and their experienced performances provided all the ambience needed.

My family and I visited this establishment on our first night of vacation at Hilton Head and really enjoyed our meal. The food was great all the way around and the service was very good. The location is ideal and they provide games on the outside that keeps young kids busy while waiting to be seated. I highly recommend.Thanks so much for the great feedback! Glad you enjoyed your visit.
