    Crane’s Tavern delivers a classic steakhouse experience with top-tier service and unforgettable food. Known for their expertly prepared steaks, they absolutely lived up to the hype—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Julia, our server, was exceptional—attentive, warm, and made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quality meal on Hilton Head Island.

    Try the filet, seriously. I have never had a steak that tender in my life. I did get the au poivre on the side and I was glad I did. It overwhelmed the steak so use small quantities. The scallop potatoes were also wonderful although they were a little unevenly salted. Charlie our server was amazing!

    We made a reservation on Open Table based on positive reviews. We were concerned as we approached the building because it looks old. The decor is very old. It is a small place and we were stuffed at a small table in the corner next to a large, loud party. The food was ok but didn’t completely please either of us. We had a filet and an order of braised beef. The service was good but I will not go back because there are many excellent options in Hilton Head with better value.
