Had a wonderful dinner at Michael Anthony's in Hilton Head. Have been there before and never been disappointed. Any trip to the island should include a dinner there.

I first reviewed this restaurant in 2010 and it hasn't changed. It is still the best restaurant on HHI. Food and service are outstanding. You get what you pay for. If you appreciate great food and service go here. You will not be disappointed,

This was our first time to Michael Anthony's. I felt we had to try it based on the great reviews it's received.

We were so looking forward to having dinner here, based on all the wonderful reviews and the fact that we both love Italian food. I grew up in an Italian home (both my parents were born and raised in northern Italy) eating wonderful Italian food at home, at relatives' homes, and on trips back to Italy. We found Michael Anthony's... More

We tried this excellent restaurant by doing the three-course Early Bird for $17. The food was outstanding, as was our server, Alex. Good ambiance. Definitely a place for special occasions.

My husband and I were visiting Hilton Head for our anniversary. The hotel staff highly recommended Michael Anthony's. Both my husband and myself have had bariatric surgery. Upon arriving to the restaurant we explained to the hostess about our situation(we do not eat starches or bread)immediately she spoke with the chef and said they could substitute a variety of vegetables...
