Don't miss this one while you are dining out. Food was superb! Service was great as well. I had the fillet with goat cheese and others in my party had the special trio or the salmon... All were delicious!

Hubby and I had an outstanding dinner here. We opted for the day's special, a plate of two lamb chops, a petite fillet, and a red grouper with crab sauce for $38. It was a feast. We also split a Studio salad which was very good. For dessert we succumbed to the banana croissant bread pudding. I strongly recommend this... More

Our family of 8 went for our fancy night out. The food and service were what you would expect from a fine restaurant. The food all came out at one time and everyone enjoyed their meal. The art on the walls was beautiful and unique.It is a very elegant restaurant and perfect for a special occasion .

Food choices were very good. Some us were very pleased with their food. Those of us who had tuna were not asked how we wanted it cooked and assumed that in type of restaurant would be done rare. When it arrived we were told it was medium. It was not cut-able with a fork and required a knife. Had to... More

We took our friend and his wife here last night as they liked it on past visits....I have to say it is really good. Its a bit off the main drags but worth the trip. The wine is is full of great choices and show innovation rather than sticking with the usual suspects. The grouper and the accompanying sauce was... More

My wife and I had one of the most memorable evenings dining, at The Studio in Hilton Head Island, SC. We chose to have the Chef's Tasting Menu with wine pairing. Not only was this an awesome tasting experience, it was well-priced. Each course was accompanied by wonderful wine, chosen by Jason, the waiter/sommelier. So good, that we went looking... More

Thank you very much! We, too. are very fond of the new wine list :-) Every wine is carefully tasted and selected based not only on overall quality and how well it may match our menu, but also on sustainability of agriculture, amount of wine produced annually, and general "bang for the buck". Having this acknowledged and appreciated means the... More

Third time at this very good place yields some mixed results. First the food is excellent and pricey. You do get what you pay for. Our group of six was really happy with a variety of appetizers and mains. This is no news to those of you who have read other reviews in this section What I would add is... More

We recently completed an overhaul of our Menu & Wine List to concentrate on all Organic, Local & Sustainable products, including a new section for Vegetarians & Vegans. This will be followed by an interior overhaul of the restaurant as... More

There are many reasons why this establishment has just excellent ratings. I had the "palette" which was a nice sampler my wife enjoyed the stripe bass. Nice appetizers and a great bread pudding made with croissants that was incredible. Nice guitar playa in the background made for a wonderful Easter and birthday dinner.

I will start by admitting to have dined at the Studio at least 25 times the last 3 years times with each visit being a wonderful experience. We particularly enjoy the intimate and romantic feel of the main studio and the fine food prepared by owner chef Paul. This past Saturday night Armand DeMille of the Vogues was singing, playing...
