Below is an archive of comments prior to 8/2005

Once again, on April 15th, my wife and I left High Country of Vail, Colorado after another great ski year to escape what is know as "Mud Season" in Vail and go to Hilton Head where we stayed until our return at the end of May. I can't think of a better place to get a head start on sunshine and summer than at this very special and wonderful island just N. of Savannah, GA. It's got it all....great golf...beaches...restaurants.. tennis...bike trails and close proximity to both Savannah and Beaufort, SC which are oozing with Southern charm.

The new Cross Island Expressway was being built last year and is now open. For a buck, if you are going to Sea Pines, Shipyard or the Forest Beach area, you can save a little time during crowded times. Unfortunately, the speed limit is only 45 and the local cops are hiding and waiting to pounce if you go faster, so if you are staying at Palmetto Dunes or any other place from there back to the bridge, you would be probably be better off just staying on William Hilton Parkway. By the way...be careful driving on the Island. Route 278 (William Hilton Highway) is the "main drag" and although divided, you have folks going well over the 45 MPH speed limit and some older folks creeping along in their Lincoln Town Cars at 25MPH and hardly a day went by that I didn't see an accident. Drive defensively and don't let a fender bender ruin your vacation.

Here is an update of my previous comments for those who choose to read them. I must say that I have been amazed at the amount of E-Mail I have received from folks all over the USA and in one case...as far away as Great Britain from a lovely couple who live in London where he is a Dentist and she is a Industrial Psychologist. They ended up coming to HHI during the 1st two weeks we were there and, following my advice, they rented a house in Shipyard Plantation just down the street from our place there and we not only met, we played some tennis and had dinner together a couple of times. It's a small World. Meanwhile....on to the '98 update.....

Again....I would heartily suggest that anyone arriving on the island, pick up a copy of a free booklet called " Hilton Head Island RESTAURANTS." You can find it anywhere from shopping malls to super markets to condo rental offices. It will give you a listing of most of the restaurants on the island complete with their menus and prices not only alphabetically by name, but by category...i.e. Seafood, Continental, American, etc. There are probably at least 200 places to eat and they range from excellent to just plain awful. I'll try to help you find the right place for your tastes. At this point, I must comment that, in looking at some of the submissions to the Hilton Head Island Travelogue, there are obviously a wide variance in opinions of what is good and what is bad. While I can certainly enjoy casual dining in a simple place, my wife, who is a gourmet cook and I, who am a member of the famous international gourmet and wine society...the Chaine des Rotisseurs, appreciate fine dining and service on certain occasions. To start with...I suggest you read my comments on the best....and the worst places (obviously in my opinion) that I submitted last year. I went back to a number of the best places this year and even gave some of the other ones a second chance after reading some positive comments by other folks after my departure last year. Let's start with the GOOD places.

The OLD FORT PUB on Hilton Head Plantation still has great food....views at sunset... but the service has declined in my opinion. I took a party of 8 there for dinner there and was amazed that the white wine was served "room temperature" and it had to be placed in a bucket of ice before it was drinkable. The waitress, while very nice, was rarely to be seen during the evening. This was kind of sad since the place does have a lot going for it and maybe they need to increase their wait staff.

If you want the best in food and service and a great view isn't as important as the overall ambiance and the dining experience itself....then...NENO iL TOSCANO is the place. Located in the Festival Center next to the Publix super market (by the way, this Publix has the BEST Key Lime pies with a graham cracker crust I've ever eaten...if you are eating in.....Get Some!)....Neno's features...fabulous N. Italian cuisine.with entrees priced from $14 to about $20. Food this good in most major cities would be at least double in price and Neno's wine list is extensive and fairly priced. This elegant place is definitely not for the Shoneys, Fudruckers, Wild Wings, Big Bamboo crowd. If you go....tell Neno...you heard about it from Gerry from Vail. This Italian gentleman will make sure you have a great dining experience.

CQ's at Harbour Town is still very nice as is Cafe Europa. This year we had a waiter at Cafe Europa who, despite our mentioning that we would pass on an appetizer since we had come directly from having some drinks and appetizers on a yacht there at Harbour Town owned by some friends...he keep trying to push us into buying some of their appetizers. Maybe this was only an aberration and his aggressive manner was a product of his New York City upbringing (he made a point to tell us was where he was from). The good news is that the food arrived piping hot and was delicious.

While I'm talking about Harbour Town, I mentioned the entertainment at the Harbourside Cafe last year. Great place for Happy Hour. This year they featured an African-American trio that played some laid back steel drum reggae and on 3 other nights a week a talented female singer and flute player was accompanied by her keyboard playing male partner as they played a mixture of easy to listen to music. It's a great place to check out the fabulous yachts and watch the sun go down....but the food there is awful so go elsewhere. Speaking of Happy Hour places....several people mentioned the Salty Dog Cafe located in Sea Pines at the S. Seaport Marina....I'm sorry...I think their best product is selling tee shirts. Kind of like HHI's version of the world famous hamburger and tee shirt emporiums know as the Hard Rock Cafes.

TRUFFLES is still one of my favorites. Located at the Sea Pines Center...just about a mile down the road from Harbour Town...it offers great food in an eclectic setting at very reasonable prices and their desserts...like the "Mud Pie" are sinfully sensational.

The OLD OYSTER FACTORY continues to amaze me at the crowds it draws. It is a very attractive BIG place on Marshland Rd overlooking Broad Creek that offers a wide variety of moderately priced food. This year...one of my guests had to send his fish back...it was extremely overcooked...but the good news is that they graciously took it back and returned with one that was just right in no time at all. A funny thing happened there that I'll share with you. Upon arrival, we were told we would have about a 20 minute wait and that there was some entertainment and a bar on the dock out back. We went out there and soon discovered that there was something else out there that was not advertised....namely...the pesky little bugs that come out in the late afternoon and early evening called "No-See-ums." While they are so tiny you can hardly see them...they must be all mouths and they can bite real good. Everyone was scratching their heads and slapping their exposed body parts including the entertainers whom I felt sorry for. Once we were seated, we had a table at a window overlooking the dock and were entertained by watching the unsuspecting customers arrive on the dock and immediately start scratching and wondering what was attacking them. The Old Oyster Factory is an OK place....but not sensational.

Having read some comments from some folks praising some places I had panned a year ago....I foolishly decided to give two of them another look in '98. WILD WINGS was mentioned as a great place by some folks who vacationed there and I must admit that their chicken wings are excellent....however....the LOUD rock and roll music make them pretty hard to digest. I would suggest ordering carry-out if you must have them and pass on the smoke infested bar atmosphere and eat them at the place you are staying.

Another place that numerous folks have written in about was "The BIG BAMBOO" at Coligny Circle. I thought it was dark and dismal last year and it's WW II theme was a little "cutesy" and strange for a beach place...but I thought I'd give it another shot in '98. Sorry folks, its still DARK & DISMAL with really MEDIOCRE food from a confusing menu that offers a strange variety of things from their "War-Dog" to meatloaf and California veggie wraps. All the cutesy bamboo in the world couldn't make this place a good place to eat. This S. Forest beach hangout is the place to go if you think putting on a sleeve-less Tee shirt or a tank top is fine casual attire and the nachos at the ball park are gourmet food. You'll feel right at home with the other folks who love this place. Aaaaargh !

Another spot mentioned by a number of folks was AUNT CHILADAS on Pope Ave. Again...it is close to Coligny Circle and a lot of people who come to Hilton Head and find a reasonable place to stay in the S. Forest Beach area frequent it. The menu is a dead give away...in that it features both Mexican and Italian food. Huh!!!! The result is very average food at higher prices than the quality should suggest. The decor was a little strange and looked like it had been picked up at a garage sale somewhere. It featured a fake bird perched on a large ring but the bird was not at the bottom, but rather sitting cock-eyed at an angle part way up. We decided to try it the night we arrived and were soon joined by a bus tour group of senior citizens that had a "package deal dinner" there. Our young waitress, tried her best, but had the annoying habit of referring to everyone as "Guys"....as in..."Have you guys decided on what you want?.....How's the food Guys?.....Can I get you Guys anything else? " etc. It was kind of amusing to see here continue that line of banter with a long table full of blue haired 70 to 80 year old ladies next to us. I would bet the same crowd that loves Wild Wings and the absolutely horrible Big Bamboo thinks this is the greatest. That's the beauty of HHI....there's something there for everyone.

No....I didn't even think about giving HENRY's another try this year....it has taken about a year for my stomach to get over it last time so that was enough for me.

The CAFE @ WEXFORD is a cute little place that features reasonably priced french food and we enjoyed it last year. This year, we took a couple from Colorado that had come to visit us there on the Sunday that was Mother's Day and we surprised to see that they had not only reduced their menu that evening, but had cranked up the prices about 50% as well. Gouging the public is not the way to win friends and influence people.

We alternated eating out about 2/3's of the time with eating in at our place and once again found the wonderful seafood at great prices offered up by BARNACLE BILL's to be fabulous. Every day he gets in extremely fresh seafood at his stand on William Hilton Parkway between Palmetto Dunes and Port Royal on the W. side of the road (Shelter Cove side). We enjoyed Wahoo, fresh Salmon, jumbo Shrimp, Oysters, Blue Crabs, Tuna, and Sea Bass which was cooked and smoked on our grill and it was sensational. He can even get you live Maine Lobsters if you give him a day's notice. So...if you want to pick up a bottle of wine and enjoy some great seafood at your place there....go see Bill and be sure to tell him that Gerry from Vail told you to come see him. I guarantee he will treat you right.

ABE's Native Shrimp House is located not far from Barnacle Bill's as you head toward Shelter Cove and features a $10.95 "Early Bird" buffet. I had read about it in a golf magazine so we decided to try it. This African-American family has been there since 1968 and features down home cooking including fried fish, BBQ ribs, okra and chicken but..while the food is plentiful and filling...it is pretty heavy and not for someone who is trying to watch their weight. It was also pretty hot in there in May and their A/C is barely working so be forewarned. Interesting !

As for GOLF.....really no changes from last year in that I played a number of the courses both on and off island including the famous Harbour Town Golf Links and found all of them to be a lot of fun. Pick up the local paper....the "Island Packet" which is 25 cents and you can find advertised deals on golf in it. If you are staying at a condo or hotel resort, they often have deals on golf or packages available which will reduce your cost of playing. One new course I played this year was the Golden Bear Golf Course at Indigo Run Plantation a couple of times and enjoyed it. It features on board computerized screens on each golf cart that tell you how far you've hit your drive...how far it is to the green from anywhere on the course and the clubhouse has a monitor showing where every cart is on the course at all times. Very unique.

If you are into TENNIS....and are staying at a Plantation, you should check with the club there regarding their programs. At Shipyard Plantation, they had a round-robin doubles mixer every afternoon from 4 - 5:30 PM on the clay courts for only $10 per person with wine and beer afterwards. A great way to meet some other folks and have a lot of fun.

Again...if you need additional advice or suggestions send me an E-Mail and I'll do my best to get back to you. Hilton Head is a great place to spend your vacation and if you decide to go, I hope you love it as much as we do. All the Best...GERRY from VAIL. (gazman@colorado.net)

My wife and I and friends just returned from HHI (june 3, 1998). We had a wonderfull time. The island is a great place for families, very relaxing, and a huge beach. We stayed at the Disney Resort, a great place to stay. Disney also has it's own Beach House on the ocean in Palmetto Dunes. We really like the Hilton Head Diner, just below Shelter Cove Harbor. The food was great, breakfast, lunch or dinner. It has a huge menu and the service was fast. We also liked Guiseppi's, located in Shelter Cove Plaza. Great pizza and you must try a "weggie". There are several very good mini-golf places for children and adults. Had lots of fun there. We did some shopping at the factory outlets in Buffton on the mainland, just over the bridge. We took a dolphin cruise on a 20 foot patoon boat( holds 6 people) down the broad creek. We saw about 20 dolphins, some came right up to the boat. Our guide was great. We plan to make HHI our only place to go to the beach. Richard M. Smith, Lincolnton N.C. rsmith@tntie.com

We're thinking of a visit to HH in late July/early August. I notice most people in the Travelogue have visited in winter or early spring. Is the weather unbearably hot in late July/early August? I've spent time in the Outer Banks in the summer and found it comfortable due to the ocean breezes. Please give me your thoughts on HH weather during that time period!!
-- Katy (katy.okeefe@cwi.cablew.com) submitted 5/28/1998

When (during what weeks of August/September) is the best time to visit HHI? My wife and I are planning our first visit and would prefer to visit after the peak summer season ends but when the weather is still great. Also, what areas of HHI are best for a 30ish couple w/o children. We like peace and tranquility--not "wild times!" We like to be on or near the beach, but like to avoid areas that attract primarily school-age children and senior citizens. Send comments to rwwilson@wku.campus.mci.net. Thank you.

Having just returned from a disapointing trip to Hilton Head, I would like to contribute one piece of information to this travel log. Hilton Head is an island of 'gated' communities. If you are not staying in the community, you cannot go in. If you cannot go in, you cannot see the ocean. The only access we had to the beach was walking a few blocks and cutting through the Holiday Inn parking lot. We found it very frustrating to be on a small island and not be able to see the ocean as we drove around. We ended up cutting our stay short because of this and really wished we had known ahead of time. What we did see of the island was lovely, we did go to Harbor Town (you pay $5 to go into that gated community) which was nice. We golfed at a couple courses just off the island, Rose Hill and Island West, which were super. Not sure if we will go back, if we do we will be sure to stay inside!

A bunch of my buddies and I were looking for someplace to go and relax after our medical school board exam in June and we decided on Hilton Head. I haven't been to Hilton Head since I've been old enough to go out, so I was wondering if anyone out there could suggest some of the good bars that are down there. We're staying in South forest beach, so bars that are around there would be great. Thanks, Aaron Wittenberg

I'm going to HH for the first time for a couple of days at the beginning of May. I wanted a place on the beach, and the most reasonable one I've found seems to be teh Beach and Tennis Resort on Folly Field Road. I have no idea, though, where on the island this is (i.e. nice area? far from everything else? etc.) If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks -- Andy

Suggestions for nice (kid friendly) restaurants? Thanks!

april 19, 1998 we have just returned from another wonderful spring break on HHI. As always we frequented our favorite restaurants: Wild Wings, our tradtional first night meal, can't beat cold beer and hot wings to get a vacation started. Our very favorite spot is Steamers located in Coligny Plaza, defintely the best seafood on the island. We ended up eating there three nights out of six this trip the food and service was so good. For great pizza you have to try Pizza Chef. We have tried several others on the island but this is by far the best. Already looking forward to going back this summer to try some of the recommendations I've read here.

My wife and I just got back from our HH vacation (4/3/98 - 4/7/98). We had a GREAT time. We used many of the recommendations from submissions to this site, so we wanted to contribute our opinions as well. For accommodations, we stayed at the Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort, in an Ocean Front Villa. It was nice, clean, and inexpensive. Folly Beach is clean and quiet. Our only complaint is that we felt we were away from the real "action". Most of the cool places to go were about 5 miles down 278 towards Sea Pines and Coligny plaza. When we go again, we'll probably stay in Palmetto Dunes, or somewhere near Forest Beach. Those seem to be the best places for the 20-somethings. The food selections were great. Our favorites, in order, were Steamers, Makotos and Shuckers. Excellent service at them all and the ambiance (sp?) was very nice at Steamers and Makotos. Shuckers was a little out of the way and desolate. The Salty Dog was ok, but we were expecting something more. The location of SD is great and it seems to be a good hangout spot. The Wild Wing Cafe also probably is a happening place, but we went for lunch on a weekday, and it was just alright. I did like the different flavors of wings, though. We went to Coconuts Comedy Club and ordered gourmet pizza that they bring in from a pizza shop across the street (don't remember the name). It had to be the best gourmet pizza we've ever had. Try the Vegetarian. There is plenty of other things to do there; enough to be able to go back consistently and never have the exact same experience. We had a chance to go to the finals of the Family Circle Cup and had an awesome time. We'll be doing that again. Island Water Sports was very good for waverunners and parasailing. The employees were very friendly, yet professional. For a beach experience, we recommend Forest Beach. It had the most people on it. Make sure to go bike riding, its almost impossible to avoid it. We don't golf, but we enjoyed playing at several of the mini-golf places. We really like the The Pirates Island Adventure golf course. Oh yeah, and we enjoyed the Dolphin Cruise at Broadcreek Marina. We spent almost a whole day shopping at the outlets in Bluffton. Bluffton is across the bridge from HHI, but it is probably only a 15-20 minute car drive away from most places on the Island. We'll definitely be coming back to HH for years to come.

For the last two years the Winona State Women's Tennis team has traveled to Hilton Head to compete against other tennis teams. Though the weather didn't cooperate this year (mar. 1 thru mar. 12) we still had a great time. Hilton Head offers everything from quiet beaches to fabulous night life. Our accommedations (Beach and Tennis resort) have always been comfortable and affordable. I love the Island and can't wait to return next year.

March 20, 1998 Hi, My name is Bill and Hilton Head is awesome!!! I have been going there ever since I was 10 years old. I am now 23. Hilton Head has wonderful bike trails. They are very uncrowded and allow you to become part of nature. Some of my favorite restruants are Alexanders, the Oyster Factory, and Reilly's. My favorite hotel is the Westin Resort. Although the rooms are expensive, you can't beat the ocean view. The pool-side facilities are excellant. The Westin also has an outstanding seafood buffet 7 days a week. Fishing is great...My dad discovered that the best place to fish was in a lagoon on the golf course. Within minutes the bass started biting. As my mother would say, watch out for the Alligators. One day when she was taking out the trash, a dog rubbed its nose against my mother's leg and she screamed thinking it was an alligator. Thank goodness it wasn't an alligator!! If you are ever chased by an alligator, remember to run in a zigzag. If you like birds, Hilton Head has a ton of them. Well, I just wanted to tell you about some of the highlights. Hi...Mom and Dad! Take me back to Hilton Head!
