    Tuna with rice and zucchini
    Ashley B.

    We had dinner at Red Fish tonight, and it was really good. First and foremost, they are super fast. It was a busy night, and they were getting people in and out with very little wait except for very large parties. We opted for first available and ended up on the patio, so there may be more wait time if you're looking to dine indoors in the A/C. We were very happy with our food choices, starting with bacon wrapped scallops. They were so good that I totally neglected to get a picture before we dug in. I had the tuna steak, which had delicious wasabi-based sauce on top. It was not spicy but was tangy. My husband had the shrimp and Gouda grits, which were just divine. Tasted smoky and wonderful! Portion sizes were generous, so we didn't have room for dessert but no doubt would've been great too. This spot is a great choice for lunch or dinner when visiting the area.

    Chicken tenders and fries from the kids menu. HUGE tenders!

    This is the sister restaurant of Catch which is down the street and doesn't have outdoor seating. Pretty good restaurant. Super busy and popular even on a rainy day. Mahi is dry so I would skip that one. The plate with seafood and rice was the winner. Decent clam chowder just a bit salty. Maybe there was bacon in it too? Not sure. My mother-in-law ordered the mahi sandwich which is blackened fish. The menu doesn't indicate such but the waitress explained that all their seafood is blackened. The fries were okay but super greasy so maybe they were fried with bacon? Or sitting in the oil a while. I thought this place was pretty good but my mother-in-law hated it.

    Once of the best meals of our two-week trip! Beautiful location with a very nice outdoor seating area where you can watch the boats on Money Island Bay. We started with fresh fried grouper bites (big yum factor!), next was Seared Sea Scallops - Lightly blackened and topped with a lemon herb grill sauce and the daily fish special - baked Wahoo with a cream and spinach topping, cajun rice and a great cucumber and feta salad. The food was simply outstanding as was our server! We would have gone back the next day but they closed. Well worth a visit - and just minutes from Beaufort.

    I go here often and I have been many times. Still a great place to grab some food on the water. Always recommend. Great staff, good service and great location.

    Solid 4. This is our go to for a nice family dinner. It is consistently good. We really like the apps but they do come in small portions. I've had steak and shrimp here and it's always tasty. It's a safe option for us with something to please everyone. Last time I had the mixed grill, which is grilled shrimp and chicken with zucchini and mashed potatoes. Great grill flavor and their mashed potatoes are awesome!

The atmosphere is relaxed but still really well done, and the food has been consistently excellent. Service has always been welcoming and accommodating, which makes a big difference when dining with little ones. It's become part of our routine when we're in town, and somewhere we always look forward to coming back to.

    We (14 of us!) dined at Gretchen's Bistro in Oriental last night. The trip out to Oriental was well…read moreworth it! We were seated at a large table in an enclosed patio of the restaurant. The seating and lighting were great. Our server, Kayla was very professional and efficient. As one might imagine, a seating of 14 can be difficult. She handled us with aplomb! Many different items were ordered. I started with the wedge salad where the iceberg lettuce, blue cheese crumbles and bacon were the stars of the show. I ordered the duck breast for my entree. The fat was perfectly rendered and the puréed carrots pair extremely well with the richness of the deck. A must have with the duck is their in-house made pear martini which blended perfectly with the fig sauce served over the duck. My husband ordered the Shrimp Cocktail as my appetizer. The shrimp were plump and perfectly steamed! The cocktail sauce was fresh made and delicious! His entree was Pistachio Butter Scallops. They were served on a bed of polenta with a side of haricot verts! The scallops were sautéed to a point where the edges were just ever so crispy while the interior of the scallop was tender and sweet! He said this was one of the best meals he'd have ever had and we've dined at many 4 & 5 star restaurants! I almost forgot to mention the bread service! We were offered either a Baguette or Focaccia bread. The focaccia was so outstanding, we bought an extra half loaf to bring home!!! Even though we were both happily satiated, we shared their pan fried pound cake with salted caramel gelato and chantilly cream for dessert! It was simply amazing! The management staff and chef came to our table to check on our service and meals. They were very appreciative of our glowing feedback! We'll definitely be coming back! I highly recommend going to Gretchen's Bistro in Oriental! You won't be disappointed! Sorry...only the one pic, because we were a large group enjoying a multitude of conversations.

    If you love Salty Turtle, you'll love The Cove even more!…read more The Cove is a cocktail bar/event space that is owned by Salty Turtle. They carry a few of their beers to serve as well as wine and liquor. Ever wish you were having a cocktail at Salty Turtle while your partner was enjoying a beer? Well now you can! Hit up the cove and you can have the best of both worlds with no one compromising. The Cove is a "club" so you'll need to sign up for a membership at the bar before you can enjoy some drinks, but don't worry it's free to join! We enjoy coming here on Wednesday nights to play trivia with friends that is hosted by Meeser Eddie. My favorite drink to sip on when coming here is probably the spicy margarita. It's not on the printed menu, but you ask and your wish shall be granted!On Wednesdays they also offer $15 bottles of Prosecco. Yes you read that right $15 for a BOTTLE of Prosecco. Nothing beats coming to play trivia with friends and sharing a great bottle together. The staff here is always so friendly, it's clean, the service is fast & the cove itself provides excellent vibes. We love the cove & salty turtle so the hardest decision is usually choosing which one to go to... and sometimes we just hit up both!!

Which it is but it is also open a few days a week, one of which being on Wednesday nights at 6:00pm for trivia. The place is smaller but very cozy. The decor inside is super cute and the drinks are great. We got a tequila drink that looked beautiful and tasted very good. They also have beer and wine. Super cool place to check out and really excited for an upcoming event I am going to at their location too!
