I loved how on of the staff wore a Trump apron. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. And the food and sunset are amazing!

Atmosphere great, service excellent and the food is the best. Braised short rib, halibut, scallops and shrimp with grits was what our table had. Make a good manhattan, old fashioned. We all had dessert and it was also great. We made reservations for 16 two months in advance so make sure you make reservations. they split us up eight to a table. You will not regret eating here but plan ahead.

Fantastic place off the beaten path for high quality seafood! The halibut and scallops were cooked perfectly. The service was fast and the view from the restaurant over the water was gorgeous. You have to call to get a reservation but that was very easy.

Had two delicious dinners at Sunset Grille on our recent HHI sojourn, once with gorgeous sunset and once on a cloudy night. Service is so good and each time I ordered the special and was delighted. So friendly. Such good food. And a view to enjoy in rain or shine! Will be back again!

Another great meal at SG. Was very pleased to see a veg friendly option on the menu this year!

NOT a hidden gem... Plenty of locals and visitors know this property Given an Island, HH has very few water view properties Come for the Views an enjoy the dining NOT inexpensive Do not be put off by the travel trailer location Reservations are a MUST at this very small restaurant Ambience, ambience, ambience... Great service and excellent dining

What a hidden gem. We've been coming to HHI for years and had somehow missed Sunset Grille. We went for Sunday brunch and are already planning a dinner visit soon. Today we had Shrimp and Grits as well as Belgian Waffles with Caramelized Apples and the not to be missed Mimosa. Highly recommend.

We have been several time through the years and the absolute best thing you can say is the consistency of everything there. Food, service, atmosphere and overall pleasant experience is all you can ask for. Thank you too all made our experience memorable.
