Cranes Tavern & Steakhouse

We made reservations to eat dinner at the bar. Chris, the bartender, was busy with a full bar, but he made sure our needs were met. The food was delicious! I had the ribeye with a lobster tail. My wife had the salmon. For dessert I had the peanut butter cup. Everything was cooked perfectly and was very tasty! We will definitely come back again when we are in the area. I do recommend making a reservation.

Trying this restaurant out for the first time. The wine selection is great! The Moscato was definitely good. The Prime Rib was cooked to order with good flavor overall. The salmon had a maple Dijon flavor with a breaded crust. Exquisite taste that was not too overpowering. Kelly was our server and was attentive and a pleasure. High recommend...will definitely come again.

I reserved a table for 8 golfers, and it was the best meal we had on the trip. Service was fantastic, food was excellent, wine selection was great, and EVERYONE in my group was talking about their meal at Crane's the entire golf trip. I will definitely be back next time I am in Hilton Head again.

This hidden gem doesn't look very fancy on the outside but, the inside is truly where it counts! Beautiful white table linens, various bottles of wine and well mannered staff awaits you as you enter. By far the best steak I have ever eaten as well as their house made scalloped potatoes. The cheese curds with their special bacon jam is a must try. Highly recommend visiting!

Went to dinner with family. Server discussed the specials and that the Soup of the day was a tortilla soup. "Did you say tortilla soup? Yes, tortilla soup". Reviewed if the special could be made without shrimp or if it was integral to the dish and not possible to remove it. We let the server know we have two people allergic to shrimp and other shellfish. The allergic people each get the tortilla soup - it arrives with a wonderful deep red color and what might be chunks of cheese? - first bite of said cheese and no... That's crab. Ask the waiter if that is crab and "yes, tortilla soup with crab". Well two of us are allergic to shellfish, which is why we asked before ordering and brought it up. "Well I said it. That's why it's important to listen to these things". Important to listen...I'm sorry sir but there are 6 full grown adults with perfectly fine hearing and 2 who are keen on hearing about shellfish being part of a dish You didn't say anything about crab in the soup. Not once. I'm not saying this server should fall on a sword or anything. Take part of the blame as should the diner - but to blame the diner for not listening to something you didn't say? To be condescending? Are you serious? If it weren't an automatic 20% tip he'd be hard pressed to get 5%. He did return with two soups without the crab. That should have been the solution with an apology considering 2 people expressed shellfish allergies. Poor form by that server. The soup was quite good. But who the hell puts crab in tortilla soup in the first place? Their steaks were cooked perfectly, nicely chatted. The halibut special was raved about. He also screwed up an order for tea by bringing coffee. Only one person ordered tea. It shouldn't have been difficult. And their AC is in desperate need of repair or replacement. The small fan in the corner near our table didn't do much to stop you from sweating bullets before the AC kicked on again. For the price... The service and AC need work.
