    Best filet I’ve had in a long time, scalloped potatoes and green beans…all so good! House salad and key lime cheesecake.

    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.

    Our filet and prime rib were excellent, as usual. Unfortunately, service was very slow and the waiter was inattentive. We have always had a great experience, but my husband had to go to the bar to get a drink, we ran out of water and the waiter didn’t check on the cook of our steaks until we were almost done. We were able to get another wait person to bring us a condiment we needed and he was very quick to help us. We will come back because we love Crane’s. Unfortunately, this visit we didn’t get the usual experience.

    We wanted to thank you so much for your understanding with needing to allow us to get there 30 min after our reservation! The food was terrific, great cocktails and Charlie our waiter was extremely attentive and enjoyable. Thank you staff at Cranes! Job well done! We will be back soon I’m sure!!
