    This is one of the best restaurants I have ever experienced. Very unique and wonderful meals with plenty of vegetarian options. Further, the vegetarian options are all complete meals with plenty of plant protein. The wine list is great and the service is amazing. It is a must stop every time we visit Hilton Head.

    The Studio elevates dining to an art form, creating a multisensory symphony that tantalizes every sense. As you step inside, you're greeted by an array of stunning paintings adorning the walls, each piece telling a story that complements the culinary journey ahead. The atmosphere is further enriched by the harmonious melodies playing softly in the background, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. The cuisine is nothing short of a masterpiece. Each dish is a visual feast, meticulously plated with an artist's touch, transforming the act of eating into an aesthetic delight. The flavors are a bold, yet harmonious fusion, expertly crafted to awaken your palate with an explosion of tastes. Every bite is a discovery of contrasting yet complementary flavors, from the subtle to the sublime. It’s the only place on the island that offers an exquisite culinary experience to vegans, pescatarians, and meat eaters alike. Complementing this gastronomic ballet is the exceptional team at The Studio. Their friendly demeanor, combined with an impressive depth of knowledge about the intricate details of each dish, wine, and cocktail pairing, elevates the experience. Their attentiveness is remarkable, anticipating every need with grace and efficiency, ensuring a seamless and personalized dining adventure. The Studio is not just a restaurant; it's Hilton Head's hidden treasure, a sanctuary where food, art, and music converge to create an enchanting escape. A visit here is more than a meal—it's an artistic journey, a celebration of the senses that leaves you longing for more. In short, The Studio is an experience that simply cannot be missed.

    Quiet romantic setting. Gracious friendly staff. Nice variety on menu. Helpful waiter to narrow down choices. Shrimp and Vidalia bisque delicious. The romaine salad has changed but grows on you. The halibut and grouper entrees were fabulous. The sauces on each were heavenly. Finished dinner by sharing lava cake a la mode. A wonderful dining experience! Recommended!

    As always, we enjoyed dining at The Studio. The food is superb, and the service was quite good. Our only disappointment was a somewhat negative attitude when one of our diners requested a substitution, This has never happened in our many previous visits. The owner, chef, and server have always been quite open to requests. Service during the rest of the meal was, as ever, both professional and friendly. We definitely intend to return.

    This was our first time at the Studio so we didn't know what to expect. What we found was a beautifully decorated, warm and relaxing atmosphere. The bread before the meal was out of this world served with garlic infused olive oil. The Tuna Carpaccio was excellent and our meals delicious. The service along with the food was outstanding!!!! This is now our favorite restaurant on the island.

My wife is vegan and had the Vegan chick-UN dish which she loved. She says the lentils were the best ever! Our service was impeccable. Love this place. You have to try it if you haven’t already.

    We came for dinner upon the recommendation of a very close friend and were thrilled by both the ambience of the dining room and the kindly reception of our hosts. Both of us ordered the special platter serving of grilled filet mignon and baby lamb chops drizzled with a fine cabernet reduction plus a grouper filet swimming n its own beurre blanc sauce. These were served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The only recommendation we might offer is that the broccolini be blanched a bit longer, because only the florets were tender enough for us to eat. We will certainly be coming back.
