We ate at the Alligator Grille the Saturday night after Thanksgiving. We had 5 adults, 2 kids under the age of 8 and a baby in our party. The wait staff was very accommodating with our table set up and very patient. Our food was delicious. We ordered off of the Early Bird menu and for the most part our... more

We decided to splurge and go all out at this restaurant. Started with delicious sushi, the Rockin Roll. Not being a raw fan I was glad to see all the cooked sushi choices. Had good, potent drinks. I had the scallops and my wife had the grilled salmon. Both dishes were very good. Took home dessert - Tarimasu and raspberry... more

This sophisticated restaurant has the best atmosphere on the island. I would suggest you make a reservation for dinner but show up during happy hour first for a few drinks and sushi appetizers at the bar with Woody (the bartender). He took very good care of us with half off drinks and sushi for happy hour. I think that's every... more

The Alligator Grill was a happy surprise. We have been vacationing in Sea Pines for 25 years and this year was the first year we have eaten in the Alligator Grill. Four of us had different dishes and found them delicious. The wait staff was attentive to every detail of the meal. We were so pleased we went back for... more

My family dined at the Alligator Grille 2 nights ago and were underwhelmed with our dining experience. I had the alligator gumbo for the novelty of having alligator (which I knew tasted pretty much like chicken), but the gumbo was pretty bland overall. My husband had the spider rolls (fried soft shelled crab) and the eel roll. My husband really... more

Luis at the sushi bar hosts a sushi cooking class that is excellent - he is personable, informed and skilled in his task. We received many superb tips for making sushi and had the opportunity to construct a roll that we then ate. The menu is also excellent and everything is made right at the bar. The tempura teriyaki roll... more

I don't trust recommendations written in superlatives, but it would be difficult to write about Hilton Head Island's Alligator Grille without using them--a lot of them. The menu, the wine list, the food, the service, the decor, and the ambience are all outstanding and worth putting on the "must return to" list we Hilton Head vacationers keep. I knew from... more
