This is a great restaurant right on the bay. There was patio and inside seating. We were welcomed as we came in and seated right away. Our server was wonderful and made our dining a great experience. My husband had the salmon and I had the mahi. Both meals were delicious. We highly recommend Saltus River Grill!

Our dining experience at Repeal 33 was fantastic. The restaurant itself was very interesting and inviting. Our server, Michael, was top notch. Very personable, very attentive. Everything about our meals was delicious, and very well presented. Thanks Michael! We met Kim, the assistant manager, who introduced herself to make sure everything was to our liking. We appreciated her sincerity and continued our discussion with her when we left. Very refreshing to have management on the floor making a difference. Run, don't walk to Repeal 33!

We eat here often because it’s always spot on. But tonight’s dinner was even more delicious. I had the special - seared grouper with grilled shrimp atop sautéed spinach and mushroom risotto. Every bite was perfect!! One of the best meals I’ve had.

We had a great experience at Vic's on the River. We sat at the bar and Matthew gave us excellent service and good conversation. He recommended the Crab Dip appetizer which was delicious. We also ate some calamari which was also wonderful. We got a glimpse of a huge cargo ship out the window which was an added bonus. The ambience, service, and food are all consistently great at Vics!

There are a number of good restaurants on HHI, but we feel Charlie’s is the best. Great service, ambiance and most of all, fantastic food. We make it a point to eat at Charlie’s whenever we visit Hilton Head. We’ve never been disappointed.

    Vic’s is a beautiful restaurant. We were seated promptly at a comfortable table and our waitress Mary was a Dream. She was sweet, professional and very efficient. We fist got biscuits and butter, and they were plentiful, hot and delicious. Three of us ordered the short ribs and they were melt in your mouth like butter. They were delicious. The potatoes and carrots were good too, but the standout were the ribs and the gravy they were in. Mary brought me a piece of cake for my birthday and a wonderful surprise of a Vic’s cookbook. The cake tasted like the inside of a Godiva chocolate. And in all my restaurant travels, I’ve never been given anything, let alone a wonderful hardcover cookbook as a restaurant gift. This blew me away. We also were able to compliment our server mary, when Sara, the manager came by. She too was so sweet and we had the best experience at Vic’s due to the wonderful food and the hospitality of mary and Sara. What a wonderful experience.

    We had the most wonderful experience here celebrating my birthday! 🥰🎂✨ From the moment we walked in, everything was amazing. The service was exceptional, as always, and everyone made us feel so welcomed and special. But the best part was hearing my son say that it was “the best day of his life” because he had the juiciest, most delicious steak he has ever had! 🥩❤️ Seeing how happy and excited he was made my birthday even more special. Thank you, Repeal 33, for making my birthday such a beautiful and memorable experience. The food, the service, the atmosphere—everything was absolutely fantastic! We will definitely be back. 🥰✨ Highly recommend Repeal 33 if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience! ❤️

    The menu is incredible and we very much enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The atmosphere is quiet and easy to have a conversation without being interrupted. We loved the 60’s era of decor and charm! I had the Beef Rouladen and my wife had the Bavarian-Style Sauerbraten. Both meals were well presented and unbelievably delicious! We will definitely be going back for more!
