    We absolutely loved Poseidon. From ambiance, service and most of all the food. Our server was awesome and made great suggestions based on our likes. The local oysters were the show stopper. The apps, salads and sushi were equally on point. If you're looking for a good place with great food Poseidon is it. Bonus $1 oysters and 50 cent shrimp m-f 4-6, I'm returning for that.

    We wanted a simple dinner tonight, in a nice Hilton Head shopping area, so we went to Poseidon for their early bird special. What a bargain it is to eat early! For $25 we had soup (or salad) an entree, and a drink. I had creamy chicken mushroom soup (please excuse the photo because I ate most of the soup before I remembered to take a photograph of it), tasty surf and turf with mashed potatoes and delicious vegetables, and iced tea. My friend had a broiled seafood trio that was equally good. The server kindly coordinated the timing of appetizers prior to putting in our entree orders. This way we could finish the appetizer and the food was then delivered hot.

    We brought the whole family out to enjoy Poseidon while on vacation on HHI, and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance was absolutely fun. Food was delicious...shecrab bisque? Phenomenal. I also really enjoyed the drink menu options. We even tried a thc-based drink. Overall, a place I'd definitely come back to. Can't wait to return to try the rooftop bar as well!

    Poseidon came through for breakfast. The staff had that warm, easy vibe that makes you feel taken care of, and my Gulf Coast Omelette was genuinely delicious -- bright flavors, perfect texture, no notes.When you're in HHI, it's absolutely one of the stronger breakfast picks.

    We had an awesome early dinner out on the covered patio during the rain. We enjoyed Narraganset beer with our $1 oysters! We also added some chips and Pimento cheese dip which was super yummy too. For dinner we had a wedge salad, she crab soup, and Maine salad. All were delicious. David the manager stopped by the table and he was super friendly along with the waitress. Would go back when we return

    Blue Crab Dip

    We stopped here while sightseeing on a hot summer day for a break to have a snack and something to drink. We had wine and beer and shared a blue crab dip appetizer. The drinks were refreshing and hit the spot. We enjoyed the dip. The service was good. We sat at the outdoor bar and had a view of Broad Creek in the distance.

    Pimento cheese

    Perfect to kill some time while our condo was getting ready. Sat outside, great view of the water. Mojitos, strawberry margarita (did not know it was jalapeño infused tequila). Calamari and pimento cheese were super yummy. Excellent service. Really cool bar area with lots of seating

    Fried Green Tomato Caprese
    Laurie G.

    I went to Poseidon based on recommendations from a gluten free app I use for restaurants. I would consider this a more casual dining restaurant due to the volume of the restaurant and how busy it seemed. I was seated right away without a reservation. I ordered the fried green tomatoes caprese and the blue crab dip with a glass of wine. The crab dip was creamy and very good. I prefer a little more crab and a little less cream but the taste was on pointe. The fried green tomatoes were a little hard and not as tasty as I expected. The beet, goat cheese salad with fried oysters was perfect. They all paired very nicely together and I was very excited to have gluten free fried oysters. I can't wait to return to try more of their menu. My waitress was also very accommodating and helpful with the menu and suggestions.

    Fresh broiled flounder, sweet baked potato and vegetable medley. The dessert was a delicious cheesecake with three berry souce.

    The ambiance was lively, the food was delicious with an amazing presentation. We both had broiled prepared fresh flounder, served with baked sweet potato and fresh vegetable medley. For desert we had a delicious cheese cake topped with three berry souce. Our server Melissa was outstanding.

    Poseidon's rooftop and experience were rated #1 in South Carolina one time and I truly see why! The experience, the food, the frozen strawberry daiquiris.... OUT OF THIS WORLD AWESOME!!!!!! You'll want to make sure you book a reservation early and check to see when they have shows, because it's truly a fun time! The views outside are beautiful too!

    Upon the recommendation of our Omni Hilton Head shuttle driver we went to Poseidon. Greatest immediately by the server. He asked if we want inside or outside. We chose the outside bar with plastic roll down windows / wind barriers with a heater over our table. The waitress greeted us promptly and brought waters. We ordered drinks and sushi roll appetizer. Both couples chose to share surf and turf and mixed grill options. Both were delicious both with a filet cooked perfect medium. We visited the Rooftop Bar and Dueling Piano show for the next evening. We are looking forward to g forward to coming back tomorrow night at 7 pm for the show.

    Maple waffles and bacon
    India M.

    The Sunday brunch! Went to Sunday brunch on our way out of Hilton head and was not disappointed! I got the maple waffles and bacon and it was the greatest waffle i ever had in my life..first off it came off fresh out the griddle with warm syrup and butter on it AND bacon bit bit pieces in the waffle. Man i wanted to go and shake the chefs hand it was that good. And the service was great as well. Our server routinely checked on us and made us feel welcome. Will 10000000% be returning when we travel back

    Our experience at Poseidon was OK at best. Our sever was really nice, and so was the owner (or manager?) who came by to check on us. The food was average, and definitely overpriced. Out of our party of 7, items from 3 of our meals were forgotten. The duck wings as an appetizer were definitely the best part of the meal. We had some get fried fish & some get broiled (can't exactly remember which fish specifically, in writing this a few days later) but the consensus was the fried seemed to be better. I guess in a touristy town and a restaurant like this we expected it be just okay, however $50 for this entree was disappointing.

It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

Except for the fried green tomatoes- those were very good, dipped in blue cheese dressing (ranch was bad, tasted like plain mayonnaise with a parsley sprinkle) The pimento cheese appetizer was so disappointing! Tasted like cream cheese mixed with packaged shredded cheddar and 3 small pieces of raw red pepper; served with stale corn chips and uninspired pita. Was so looking forward to good homemade pimento cheese in the south! The grouper sandwich was sad, my friend only ate the fish and left the bun and tomatoes on the plate. The mac and cheese was even sadder, described as baked mac and cheese it was more like old leftovers, cold, separated noodles that were really dry. The shrimp blt salad- the aforementioned fried green tomatoes were the best part. The bacon was cold and floppy and kind of unchewable. It was served on wilted arugula. I'm so confused by all the rave reviews! Maybe this was a one off.

There are so many tall chairs in the bar area for seating, the only comfortable seating for folks that don't want to get up on a chair like you're riding a horse, I would recommend either one of the very few booths they have inside or the outdoor seating. They had live music that night. Our server was very nice and checked on us often. The manager also checked on us, which is also a good practice. I also told him how much we were enjoying our meal.
