We usually go to Hilton Head Island for a quick get away dinner but didn't feel like driving quite that far so we decided to find a closer restaurant. R&D was a great restaurant and experience for us. From the first phone call for directions to the time we were seated was fantastic for us. Our table was waiting for... More

Last night we enjoyed an evening of wine, food and friends at a very unique restaurant in Bluffton, SC. The owners, Ryan and Dawn, have created a unique experience for wine tasting and have a private back room for medium size groups that allows you to sit and enjoy their delicious menu with some bottles that they will help you...

We wandered into here out of curiosity, thinking it was just a liquor store and discovering a beautiful atmosphere and the most passionate and lovely owners! Ryan & Dawn are so pleasant, down to earth, and just want to share the wines and food they love with others. They have brought an unpretentious and fun way to enjoy wine tasting,... More

My husband and I had a long day of golf and we were welcomed by Cynthia with a smile and suggestions of what to order. Everything was so good! The presentation was perfect! Then the darling owner Dawn took time to visit with us and make sure all that we ordered was ok. Our new favorite place .

Settle yourself at your table in the incredibly comfy chair and prepare for a unique and delicious supper. The wine boutique is cozy inside, yet sophisticated, with soft jazz playing, and, has a great wait staff and owner. So, to the wine....they feature 32 different wines available by the ounce, four ounces or a glass. You may purchase a card... More

R&D is a unique vibrant atmosphere for lunch, dinner or a glass(s) of wine. Their unique wine pay as you go Italian hi-tech wine dispenser system allows you to try multiple wines via a tasting or glass of wine until you find the one which suites your wine palate. The cheese plates are unlike any you will find anywhere in... More

This was by far my favorite place ever. Everybody was so sweet! They made you feel so welcome. I love the concept of putting money in these cards and swiping for the wines that you want to try. I am hoping that they open up a franchise in TN. This is like candies in an adult store. I took my... More
