    The food was delicious! Seasoned and prepared very well. My wife and I enjoyed a good dining experience. This was a 27th wedding anniversary celebratory dinner while on vacation in Hilton Head. Thanks Ricks Anderson for the recommendation.

    This is our second visit here. We went with the family and everyone loved their dinner. Great staff and cool decor. My only comment would be that it’s very tight.

    First time to Crane’s Tavern. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Two of us got the 6 oz filet and they were done perfectly and very tender. My husband got the 12 oz prime rib which was also amazing. The scalloped potatoes and creamed spinach were also very good. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend dinner here on your next trip to Hilton Head.
