Excellent restaurant in a quaint (new) "old town" setting. This is a quiet little place with excellent service, creative and well prepared food, and a definite sea side/local hang out vibe. We started with Crudo. It seemed appropriate. The Big Eye Crudo. Loved to olive oil and capers. The scallops my wife had were excellent, perfectly seared, large with pickled shallots on the side. I had the wild boar ragu, and thought it was both creative and flavorful. We finished with some sort of chocolate pie... I wish I. could remember the name. Great! They have a nice wine menu that should meet the needs and desires of all who dance here. The Bar Tender made us a few 1947 Air Mails... Great rum and Brut concoction... off menu. We had a great time ad definitely would come back. read more

Service was great. Friendly and helpful. In Bluffton for a few days before heading to HHI and we tried Crudo. Excellent! Octopus and sushi nachos were fantastic. Lobster roll was also nice a buttery. Give it a try.... you won't be disappointed! read more

Just moved here to Hilton Head & I was craving fresh raw fish. Saw that they had the salmon crudo so i stopped by. It was NYE and the owner/manager said that they have a fixed menu. I was there alone & i ordered salmon crudo, 1/2 a dozen of oysters, crunchy ship roll with crabs and 2 glass of wine. For my sushi I had to ask for chops sticks, it was the disposable chopsticks. The food was amazing, also I sat next to the lovely couple to my right. I told them they would like the rolls. They order that. When the server setup their plates it came all nice with real chopsticks & a side of ginger & wasabi. I was bummed I didn't get that setup. By the time I saw. I already finished my meal. I did spend over $130 to eat alone to have a nice experience for my NYE dinner. I will still come back because their regular menu did look good. The food was good, just wish my presentation was as nice as other customers read more

Amazing tapas style menu! The sushi is absolutely fabulous and creatively crafted. They always have fresh oysters and so many to choose from. We love the ambience and the design of the restaurant is beautiful. If you are in Bluffton, definitely check out. A true gem. Don't forget to try the desserts too - locally baked! A can't miss restaurant. read more

So this was my first trip to Bluffton. While searching for restaurants in the area, I can across Crudo. The menu is definitely up my alley and I love enjoying small plates so as to get to try all of the flavors. We arrive at 8:15 not realizing that the kitchen closed at nine so we got to work ordering all of the things. First, we really enjoyed their cocktail menu...the Jane's Addiction was a huge hit with my group. Light, refreshing and delicious. Next we moved on to oysters, octopus and foie gras. All delicious. We continued to graze through their crudo menu enjoying the snapper aquachile, tuna (big eye) crudo and scallop ceviche and then switched over to the duck bao buns. Let me tell you, everything on the list was fresh and delicious. The final choice was the morel pasta special that we all shared and it was simply the icing on the cake. Our dessert ended up being one more order of foie gras. Needless to say, we had a great experience, the food was phenomenal and the service (our bartender was Stephanie) was friendly and super attentive. We probably ended up over staying our welcome, but the staff was patient and gracious as we devoured the last bites of our dinner. If you're not an adventurous eater, the probably isn't the place for you. BUT, if you enjoy raw fish with loads of flavor, oysters (their mignonette was spot on), octopus with a Mediterranean flare (including bit of chorizo) and duck with an Asian flare, you should give this place a whirl. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Tonight was our 2nd time eating at Crudo and once again everything was amazing. We started with the crispy octopus which was flavorful and tender. It was recommended to us by the server and another couple we ended up talking to seated next to us, and it was truly a fantastic recommendation. My husband had the Wagyu steak which was better than any local steakhouse in the area and I had the Lobster Roll which was sweet, tender, and juicy. The service was impeccable and Crudo offers a quant, quiet atmosphere. If you haven't been, you are missing out on the best restaurant Bluffton has to offer. read more

Very fresh sushi , Its one of my go to places . I got the spicy tuna and great cocktails . Very friendly service. Quaint and trendy ...

We were driving thru this charming town on our way from Hilton Head to Savannah. We decided to stay for lunch, and boy were we ever glad we did! We loved EVERYTHING about this restaurant from the incredibly fresh and flavorful food (not to mention the exquisite presentation - what a chef! He even came out to check on us, too - Chef CJ) to the welcoming, friendly and professional staff. On top of that, loved the vibe of the place. We enjoyed it so much, we changed our plans, called our son and had him come meet us back at Crudo for dinner. He, too, thought it was phenomenal and will be returning (I'm sure frequently) with his roommates. We live on the west coast, but KNOW we will be back next time we are visiting our son. Standouts were Chef CJ, Jacinda, Michelle, and we happened to meet the owner, Brian, who was fantastic, too. read more

I wish someone had told me what was good because what i ordered, the seared scallops, supposedly from Japan, were fishy and had to he sent back. My partner ordered the duck, which were quarter sized medallions that he had to struggle to cut. We were actually rather shocked at the cost for the quality and small portion sizes. The atmosphere was dull and decoration adhoc. 4 thumbs down on this place!! read more

My family reserved a table after a long day of driving to hopefully start our vacation with good food. We arrived and I was very excited to taste this food, I shouldn't have been. The menu had an item on it that they were no longer serving and the waitress Did not tell us that they were no longer serving it. I asked for lump crab that is a key item in 2 out of the 3 seafood towers, they were out of crab, my mother ordered smoke salmon and they were out of that also. My refill of soda came back warm. I do not recommend this restaurant it ruined my whole vacation. read more

The oysters are fantastic. The staff was super friendly. Great to know it's in my own backyard. read more

The week of 9 Dec my company decided to do its senior leadership strategy offsite here in Bluffton including two dinners with our team of 10. The first dinner we decided on Crudo. A couple of days before that dinner the owner of Crudo, Brian, reached out to me and invited me to come in and sit down with he and Chef Eric over a glass of wine to work through a menu. We have a wide range of palates from vegetarian/pescatarian, to the adventurous, to the meat and potatoes. We ended up doing family style and holy cow did Chef crush it. From the vegetarian flat bread, to the pork belly flat bread, to the oysters Rockefeller, to the burrata salad, to the chicken, to the flounder stuffed with crab. Fresh, fresh, fresh and just an abundance of flavor. Great, great service and a terrific and memorable experience. I really appreciate the custom service. I highly recommend Crudo whether a party of two or 10. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. read more

Let me say first and for most that if you want great craft cocktails and nothing else this place is great. Very good selection and excellent service. I wouldn't mind paying the 15 dollar each for them at all. The food on the other hand is a disappointment. Everything is priced for fine dining but the food is substandard. The two if us had one drink each, a half dozen oysters, a pasta dish, a salad, and an order of naan bread and left paying 140$ out the door very disappointed having spent that much. read more

This place is amazing, where could I begin? The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is the best I've ever had at any restaurant in the area! The staff is also super friendly and informative, the craft cocktails here are also incredible! read more

We could not get into many places on a Monday. No problem with Crudo. About four tables all night. I can understand why. They were out of many items on the menu. I ordered a simple pasta and after at least 10 minutes the waiter said it was 86. Another item that was ordered never came! read more

Absolutely delicious! The service was incredible, and the sushi was the best we have ever had. Beautiful presentation. Great oyster selection. 10/10!! read more

My friends and I visited for the first time, and it did not disappoint. When we arrived at the restaurant, we had about a five minute wait. After that, we were seated promptly, we met our amazing server and they were very patient with us and very knowledgeable on both the drink and food menus. We ordered some small plates, and they came out extremely fast. Then we ordered our food, and that came out fast as well. The quality of our food was amazing. After we ate, we sat and talked and laughed for about another hour. No, one came and rushed us they just let us sit and enjoy each other. read more

Great sushi, raw bar and other options like lobster rolls and fish tacos with a cozy atmosphere. Service was excellent and knowledgeable about the food. The sushi nachos is a must and so delicious. read more

Fantastic sushi and sashimi, definitely sit at the bar and get a peak at the sushi chefs knife skills. Everyone was also so friendly and helpful. Excited to go back and explore the latest and greatest flavors. read more

Killer atmosphere, great bartender who makes a very good cocktail. I had the aha tuna bowl and it was really good. The 3 star is for the 20 dollar smoked salmon role my wife ordered that was average and too pricey. Although the tuna bowl was great, it stings the wallet at 25.00 we waited about an hour for the roll and the bowl. A pour of casamigos tequila runs a stiff 17.00 Feels like Manhattan prices but much of Bluffton seems to be trending that direction. read more

Mahi taco was Mahi dry. Prime rib sandwich average. Expresso martini. was 3 ounces a disgrace. Never in my life have I had such a miniscule martinti. Disgusting. Gentleman sitting at bar had his shoes off while I am eatting had to see those disgusting feet. Waitress told manager and he did nothing. This was on a Saturday night. Manager did nothing. I thought this was suppose to be a classy place. Totally digusting and way below average. Thanks for the 3 oz teacup martini. At least Jenna our waitress was good. read more

14 Promenade Street would have had an entirely different meaning prior to 6-12 months ago. The space has since been renovated and rebranded in downtown Bluffton, being transformed into an elegant dining experience that I believe has the potential to immediately rival even the best rated restaurants in the Bluffton area, in due time. The atmosphere is comfortably relaxed, with a modestly priced menu and limited seating. One will find that through personal experience, it feels like a kitchen you can always come home to. The ownership, team, and newly minted brand of Crudo, have figured out how to implement small scale style service, with incredibly talented service people, and a remarkably flavorful food and beverage program. The party of three split a full experience of apps entree and desert, including cocktails and a bottle of wine. I could sit here and write more than I already have, but it honestly wouldn't do it justice. I can easily say that it was one of the most memorable times I've ever had dining out with comfort in the expectation of something beautiful. Bravo.. I tried to summate my experience with a single sentence after all was said and done, and what came out was: "What a distinctly remarkable experience from dish to dish, drink to drink, and everything in between." The team at Crudo have temporarily underpriced their menu for the level of quality of their service that their F&B program provides in my personal opinion, even in their opening weeks. This I, however, see as an incredible offering to the local community to offer a proper experience at a temporarily discounted rate until they really get going. And they will get going. Reserve a table, last week... Cheers! Ya'll really nailed it. Conor E Bickmann read more

A new spot in OldTown Bluffton. You must try this place. I had tuna crudo- wonderful! Friend has blackened salmon. Both were amazingly prepared. Great service, sommelier- Rhett. Also had salad and pistachio gelato- terrific flavors In everything! read more

Listen, I get that Bluffton isn't exactly Tokyo, but this place is a punchline. The food is barely replacement level yet expensive, and the service is bad. I normally don't get angry about tourist traps like this place, but the particular combination of antagonistic service, mediocre food, and high cost made it particularly unpleasant. read more

As other customers have stated, they seem to run out of items quite often. I suggest they fix their inventory. We were grateful that our waitress did have the manager comp us for a few dishes we ordered since so many menu items were not available. With that being said, the sushi rolls we had were tasty and fresh. The service and ambiance were nice. Once management figures out their inventory, this place can be quite lovely. read more

i wanted to be impressed. after all...they had charged me a $10 deposit for each person in our party. well...the food was actually good. The service was spotty. the ambiance non existent. The menu needs a total overhaul to fit a downtown Bluffton vibe. i would recommend the lobster roll that came with a faro salad. And the oysters were good also. Not sure who is going to order the seafood tower or the caviar at those inflated prices. would we go back? only as a walk in. i would not pay a deposit for a reservation again. and there were plenty of seats for walkins. yes disappointed. but all could be fixed i think... read more

Super friendly/personable server, fresh fish, amazing mashed potatoes (best I have ever had, homemade wontons, and a nice atmosphere. Will definitely come back! read more

The food was very good but small portions and heavy $$. Service was very good. Host advised us when we arrived for our 5:30 reservation that we had to be finished by 7:30 because he had another reservation then. In poor taste. Interesting, when we left around 7:30 there were numerous empty tables! And this was on Valentine Day night! I can understand why..... read more

First time we can it wasn't good. We tried it again last night, just to give it another shot, and just as terrible. The bahn mi was horrible and I can't believe the chef serves this. No seasoning, and the pork is basically raw,the bread is wrong, the toppings are off, and it's served with a lemony, middle eastern tasting farro. Just gross.We also tried prime rib and the short ribs. I've never had a short rib dish where it's thin small slices of beef like a steak and it was served with a side of raw broccoli. And the prime wmrib is not even worth mentioning. Thank god for the drinks because unfortunately there's no saving grace for this place. read more

New raw bar in Old Town Bluffton. Located in the old Corks space. First time in. Was very excited since I love oysters on the half. Popped in on Saturday around 5 with no reservation. Expect that to change soon. Started with a dozen May River oysters. They were outstanding. And I went off recommendations when I asked for Blue Points. Was not disappointed. Followed up with their lobster roll. And I am a bit of a snob when it comes to my lobster rolls. High standards for me. The roll was awesome. Connecticut style. Great wine list and the bourbon list was top shelf. Tough to find Blanton's and Buffalo Trace in the south for whatever reason. If you are a local you will recognize Wrett behind the bar- formally from Burnt Church. He will alway provides great service and equally outstanding banter. Didn't dive too deep into the menu, which offers some great entres. Check it out now, as I'm certain this place will become increasingly more difficult to walk in. read more

OMG! We have lived in Hilton Head for 22 years. There are lots of seafood restaurants, French, restaurants, Italian restaurants, a few steakhouses. This is a totally unique experience. This is like something you would get in Charleston or San Francisco. Tons of small plate options and entrées for both land and sea lovers. Freshly shocked oysters. An amazing wine list and tons of bourbon. Nothing like it in the area. Better get your reservations soon this place is going to be hard to get into! read more

Great food. Fresh seafood. Rabbit dumplings best dish ever! Great wine list and specialty cocktails.

It takes a lot for me to write a review and Crudo is WELL WORTH the time to stop and give them 5 stars. My friend and I went in for a girls night to catch up and from the minute we sat at the bar we were happy. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. It was so nice to see everyone so happy working there. The establishment they took over was dark and cold but now with some renovations it looks so open and light. Now for our favorite part... THE FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL. I live in Savannah and we have no shortage of raw bars here but CRUDO is worth the drive to Bluffton. The seafood was so fresh, the combinations were inventive, and we highly recommended the Oysters Rockefeller that was the best I've ever had. We had the chefs bite which was a great addition to start the meal, the oysters, daily ceviche special, and lobster roll. I'm still drooling over the thought of having them again. Go! You WONT be disappointed! GREAT addition to Bluffton read more
