Eat!

A few weeks ago the Picky Palate reviewers (me, David H, Terri and Mic) ate at EAT!  It’s a relatively new restaurant in the former building that used to be Spice (the islands only short lived Indian restaurant.)  It’s a good space, very shee-shee for Hilton Head and the lounge is down right big city-ish.  There are absolutely stunning chandeliers over the bar area.  The website www.eathhi.com has great pictures and do the place and food justice. 

We went for Tapas that evening and as you will see below over ordered by a plate.  We all left comfortably full not stuffed.  The Tapas menu offers you a choice of three small plate for $3.00 off.   Now they do have a full menu you can pick from, but that wasn’t up our alley.  The food was good.  Not great...good.  The company was great!  No one was disappointed and each one of us thought that it’s one to keep on the “short list” of places to go.   Fun for a group.  We’ve all been there before and the food is consistent.

So this is what we had...

Tomato and garlic hummus – very good and the home made chips served with it very good...you can’t go wrong with homemade chips!

Duck confit spring rolls – again...anything deep-fried...just bring it on...the sauces made this one and it was the table favorite.

Mint basil pesto gnocchi – could have skipped that – very ordinary, bland and very luke warm when it was served. - sorry no pic

Fried Green Tomatoes – they looked good and tasted good.  David H, loved them

Tuna Tartar – Fresh and FAB

Beef short ribs with Asian glaze – very good, the boys loved them. Mic’s favorite

Beef sliders with brie and pickle – slightly on the medium well side, but still – it’s a slider and slide down very easily – again, big favorite for the boys

Foie gras – just enough for a little taste each.

Our wine experts (the two that actually know something about it rather than Terri and I who just know how to drink it) called the wine list uninspiring.  We settled on the Babcock, which was a nice chardonnay.

 The only slight UGH we decided was the waiter – he was okay, a bit too “charming and seasoned.”  It felt like he was working the bill a bit and bordered on slightly pushy.  He must have been eager to get his tip since he included it himself when the bill came.  With wine, the bill was around $60.00 per person including tip...the tip that the boys added in!

Reservations are probably a good idea especially around Heritage.  It’s a good restaurant and was we all decided...you know what you are going to get so that’s always a plus!
