"All courses were excellent: tomato soup, grilled salmon, and you didn't even need to pick up the ribs the meat was so tender it fell off the bone. Rib sauce comes in many varieties and this has a more vinegar taste which I prefer. The homemade key lime pie was first class as well."

"I really enjoyed the food. Our realtor told us Truffles had great food. He was right. However, he forgot to tell us about the noise level. I couldn't hear the person talking across from me at the table. Next time I will sit outside it seemed quieter . The best part of the meal is the peanut butter pie. I will go back just for the dessert!"

"never disappointed with Truffles. I even tried a special, which was excellent, though I tend to order the wedge salad and crab cakes every time because they are the best on the island. When I have a craving, we make a reservation at Truffles. We took new friends, and recommend it to everyone we meet who is new to the island."

"We were invited to Truffles by our realtor and his wife because they enjoy eating here. We've been there several times and I'm always very impressed with the food and service. Tonight I got the Chipotle Chicken and it was excellent."

"Food was excellent as usual. We sat on the bar side this time. A little too dark, and cold. It was difficult to see menu, and need a sweater to be comfortable. Normally, we sit on patio, but it was raining the day we were there."

"We have been coming to Truffles for a number of years during our time share week. It's close and a little more reasonably priced than a lot of the places we go to. It's normally dependably, but I had issues with my entrée."

"This is a very versatile restaurant. We have been going to other restaurants in the area and none of them got our attention. Truffles was different, the food was really good (try the steak!) and the ambience too. Definitely would (and will) recommend to my friends. They have a great patio dining area but the day we went was cold. So next time I hope we can have dinner there, it has an excellent vibe!"

"I think when you add an 18% gratuity you should get 18% service ( party of 6). Had to ask about refilling drinks, appetizer took 45 min to come out. "Kitchen mistake". In most restaurants I dine they would be free. Also my wife requested candles on dessert and he forgot. Food was good and would try and hopefully get a more competent waiter."

"Not sure what is going on at this restaurant which has always been one of our favorites. The quality of the food has definitely deteriorated. A new chef, perhaps? My husband ordered chicken pot pie last night and the filling was the consistency of water with almost no chicken. A women in the next booth had the same experience. The manager took it off our bill but as you know when everyone else is partially done dining, the experience is not pleasant. My tortellini was very good but our waiter just started working so he was very unsure about everything, forgot bread plates and was clearly neither trained nor supervised."

"Food was good. We were there for Easter lunch. Had heard so many things about this restaurant from both vacationers and residents so perhaps my expectations were too high. I had shrimp and grits from brunch menu and sauce drizzled overtop was too rich and spicy for the rich dish."

"The food was barely passible. Waiter did not seem to know about entrees or wines. Will not return to this restaurant when I visit Hilton Head Island in the future."

"Been to this place many times and will absolutely return, however this experience was less than stellar. They tried to crowd too many people into the tables located by the bar area and ther service was extremely slow for the amount of staff that was working."

"We have come to Hilton Head for many years and never tried Truffles. It was a great find and we would certainly return. Loved the many fish options too, since we are not meat eaters."

"Great find! Went to Truffles while in Hilton Head after it was recommended by our concierge and a local we met along our trip. We had four fabulous meals, preceded by a crab cake that we all shared. Everything was fresh and delicious! We had a variety of meals between us: vegetarian had salad with a homemade black bean cake on it, chicken for one, and two has shellfish. We enjoyed it all! Would visit again on another trip and recommend it to others."

"Still an OK place. We have not been .here for a year but the menu seems to have lost some on the inspirational feeling I knew in prior visits. Entrees were average at best, wines were good however. Friendly waiter. Dessert selection is terrible, nothing less that 1000 calories, probably frozen stuff out of a box. Haven't they heard of lighter desserts a la "shooter" style. Overall there are too many other interesting places on the island to do this again"

"Great service. It was busy but still quiet and cozy. The food was amazing. We've been staying at Shipyard every year for about 6 years and never knew this place was there right by us. The Arnold Palmer is the best ever."
