Hilton Head Real Estate by Jan Tomlinson

My Favorite Restaurants.......

Well, we just came off of Restaurant week, and I have to say, we really spoiled ourselves.  The Hilton Head - Bluffton Chamber of Commerce sponsors the week to boost business for the local restaurants during the winter season.  My husband, Jack, and I managed to enjoy 4 nights out with delicious offerings.  Saturday was Aqua Grille down at the Sea Crest, and I started with a spring roll..the best!  Then the Seafood  Jambalaya with mussles, shrimp, grouper, mahi, scallops and rice.  The flavor was a perfect blend of spices but not overwhelming!  On Tuesday night, we went to Bistro 17, in Shelter Cove.  I had been there for lunch but not for dinner.  I started with the she crab soup which was delightful.  Then on to  Beef Bourguignonne which was very good and rich on flavor.  On Thursday night we went to Hugo's in Wexford.  Now that meal was big on value, and for 17.95 we enjoyed Lobster Thermidor, and cherries jubilee, and the wine was 1/2 price and real value.  Finally, we wrapped up Saturday night with Sante Fe Cafe...and if you haven't been there, this one is a must try.  The painted dessert soup, normally 6.50, and Grouper, normally 28.00 was only 20.10 which also included a wonderful little dessert.  So.....is this normal for us????   Absolutely not!  But all the restaurants featured this year had special menus with prie fix pricing which gives us a chance to enjoy some really terrific spots for a good value.  Now I have to go to the gym!  But it was worth it!  I just going to have to add some more to my favorite restaurant list under Local Resources!
