    She Crab Soup
    Rob R.

    Great atmosphere, service and food! The views are amazing. The food was fire!!! Not mines thing disappointed. I highly recommend this place. I wish I could say more. I'm just still shocked how good it was.

    The view from 2nd floor of The Quarterdeck restaurant.
    Laurie Y.

    The ambiance, service, and view at The Quarterdeck were all excellent--truly spectacular and exactly what we were hoping for on our first visit to Hilton Head. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting. As a pescatarian who does not eat meat, dairy, or eggs, the menu options were extremely limited. We ordered the ahi poke, shrimp cocktail, and French fries. We weren't able to order the calamari because the batter contains eggs and buttermilk, and when we asked about sourdough bread, we were told they don't offer bread at all. The ahi poke was disappointing--easily the worst poke I've had. The sauce was bland and didn't resemble traditional poke flavors. It was topped with prepared seaweed salad and served with green mounds on the side that looked like guacamole but tasted more like a mayo-based mixture. The shrimp cocktail, however, was excellent. The shrimp were large prawns and very flavorful--definitely the highlight of the meal. We chose The Quarterdeck primarily for the view and didn't do extensive research beforehand. It's worth noting that the restaurant is located inside a gated community, and we had to pay $9 just to enter. While the setting is beautiful, the limited menu options and underwhelming food quality mean we won't be returning.

    Shrimp and grits

    The food is always perfection at the Quarterdeck. I usually order the lobster thermidor, but chose the shrimp and grits today, and it was equally good! The server was attentive and helpful. I sat alone outside next to the entertainer who sang and played the guitar. It was a pleasant evening experience.

    Another great meal at Quarterdeck. Hubby likes the hush puppies, I tried a new cocktail. The grilled octopus, my go to entree, is always on point. It's a great place to take friends and family who are visiting the area. We walked the marina afterward. Beautiful views and backdrop for a group photo!

    Crab chowder with local market fish
    Brandon B.

    If you're going to spend the weekend in Hilton head island, you have to go experience the culinary play calling going on at Quarterdeck. Beautiful food, beautiful view. There's not much more you could ask for. I had the crab chowder with local market fish, I subbed out the swordfish for the halibut. Nothing against swordfish, I just don't think swordfish has what it takes to be a starter in this league. I ended up being right, the halibut was my quarterback tonight. It did nothing but shine by throwing for what felt like a touchdown every bite. It was surrounded by an outstanding offensive line of crab chowder topped with truffle oil that look like routes being drawn up for a quick first down. This was one of those dishes you're eating and eating until you look down and realize it's already gone. Luckily, the waitress threw a flag on bringing the bill and brought the dessert menu instead. The offense managed to run out some clock before a last second 2 plate conversion by Key lime cheesecake. My mouth is watering just thinking about. Unbelievable PFT. Presentation, flavor, and texture. The key lime was light and not overbearing. Perfect way to end a game after a round of golf.

    The Quarterdeck is Sea Pines newest restaurant. Its views are breathtaking. You overlook the iconic lighthouse and the harbor. Great picture spot! They spared no expense on furnishings and decor. Everything in this place is just beautiful all the way down to the door pulls. The servers are all very well trained and knowledgeable with the menu. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your dining experience. I HIGHLY recommend reservations about a week in advance. It's almost impossible to get in the day of. The food is all amazing. Our favorite was the crab dip appetizer with the special saltine crackers. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Wonderful view. Great service and good food at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the wait staff who was attentive and suggested a few items on the menu. Sea view is amazing. Great lunch place to see the waterway in the daytime. Well done

    Often very crowded but understandably so. Good food great views and atmosphere. Real HH vibe. Really like the wine selection too. We go for the Shecrab Soup. Absolutely the best. love sitting at the bar to. very comfortable and never feel rushed. Shrimp n Grits were solid A.

    Local Carch of the Day - Swordfish atop  Blue crab and Corn  Chowder
    Mary K.

    Dined here exactly one year ago - and had a great time tonight, too! Started with the Street Corn Elote Fingers which was amazing!!! Then for dinner, I had the Specialty Salmon with pineapple salsa and rock shrimp risotto (good, but needed a bit more flavoring and wish there'd been more pineapple); my husband had the Dafuskie Deviled Crab Cakes (yum, but he prefers a more saucy dish), and my dad had the Local Catch (swordfish) over Sweet Corn-Blue Crab Chowder (the group favorite!). And - Patricia was again our server and she was just lovely!

    Hush puppies
    Rena S.

    My family and I came here for a birthday celebration while visiting from out of town. We made a reservation, which I highly suggest that you do. Even on a weeknight evening it was very busy in the off-season. They took us into a private room upstairs, which we mainly had to ourselves until the last half hour of our meal. Our server Tyrese was very attentive and friendly. He made sure we had everything that we needed. Everyone enjoyed the food. We shared alligator bites and hush puppies and street corn appetizers which were all very good. Everybody ordered different dishes, but nobody was dissatisfied with them. I had the blackened chicken Alfredo, which was very good and I had a lot of leftovers. They knew that we were celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday and they brought out a very nice dessert for her with extra spoons for us to share. We all ordered drinks as well. Everything went smoothly and the experience was pleasant. Being able to look out over the water was quite nice. We got to watch dolphins playing while we ate. If you're looking for a beautiful restaurant with a lot of ambience this would be a great choice. It is a walk from the parking area to the restaurant, so please keep that in mind. I believe that they have an elevator, but I couldn't say that for sure, however they do have first floor seat seating as well as a second floor.

    The food is always fabulous!! The service is great!! We love going around sunset because the pictures are wonderful!!

    Visited the Quarter Deck, one of our favorite go to when we're on Hilton head Island. I had the fried fish sandwich and fries and my wife ordered the filet mignon. My fried fish sandwich was tasty and a generous portion. My wife had to return the filet mignon, as it was very chewy, not tender, and quite hard to cut through. She ended up with the Atlantic salmon which she liked. Kari our server was excellent!! Not such a great overall experience as before with the food quality, but we will definitely be back as this location is usually A++..

    Jennifer K.

    Beautiful view of the water and daufuskie island! Plenty of seats in the restaurant with a view from every table. Our waitress was super attentive. We never had an empty glass in front of us. The food was amazing as well. We had the calamari (lightly breaded), crab sandwich (heavy on the crab meat), caprese salad, salmon, and burger with fries. We left crumbs.

    Can dogs come and sit outside?

    Yes on the lower deck, there are stairs to enter on the waterside with direct access to the lower deck.

    Is it necessary to have a reservation? Specifically for the weekend?

    Most definitely for dinner. We made ours about a week in advance for a Friday night.

    Are leashed dogs allowed on the deck of the restaurant?

    according to the owner, who answered this same question on their website: we do have a section of our outdoor patio that is dog friendly.

    Do they have any vegetarian items, other than salad?

    What's the dress code?

    nothing on HHI is super dressy - but I'd say dressy casual. I've also gone there for lunch in tennis clothes.

    Yes. Great dining room with great view of water.

But attentive and did a good job keeping us informed when drinks did not arrive after a reasonable wait time. The food was great. I liked the selection and enjoyed the food. We ordered grouper, flounder, fish and chips, peel n eat shrimp, calamari and pickles, and snow crab - all were enjoyed. My only problem with this place was that they offer the option to select specific seating when making a reservation and in our case did not follow through. Please do not offer this specific option if you are not willing to honor these reservations. We had wanted to sit up by the bar, music and cornhole area at a high top (per my reservation). As the hostess was leading us to our table I noticed we were heading to a low table at the complete opposite side of the bar, so I stopped her and informed her of our reservation request. I figured she may not have known. Seconds later a lady was in our face telling us in a rushed, rather aggressive manner that the table we were being seated at was the best they could do. No high tops were available. So no hello, may I help you from her. No, hello I am so sorry that we cannot honor your reservation. No empathy or professionalism whatsoever. I was not happy. Good communication is key to allow understanding. My problem wasn't so much the table, but with how the supervisor/manager spoke to us. To make things worse, once seated I went to the restroom and on my way back there was a high top for 6 (my reservation number) cleaned and ready to go. So there was a table available. First time at Fishcamp. Disappointing experience - at first. The waitress was so kind though she made up for a rough start.

Now let's talk about the food. If you're a Brussels sprouts fan, this is the place to come. The fried Brussels sprouts are served with fried pork belly -- and honestly, who can top that? The balsamic glaze on top is absolutely amazing. We also tried the short rib empanadas. They were good, though the flavor profile wasn't quite what I personally expected. The corn risotto dish normally comes with fried shrimp, but as someone who isn't a shrimp lover, they kindly accommodated my request and substituted blackened chicken. The combination of the blackened chicken with the corn risotto was outstanding -- a perfect balance of flavors. And don't skip the hush puppies. They're crisp on the outside, soft in the center, and have a sweet glaze that is absolutely to die for. We didn't get to sit outside because it was a bit cool, but the patio overlooking the beach is stunning and would be a wonderful place to dine when the weather cooperates.
