The Carolina Room - Hilton Head Island

My wife and I had the breakfast buffet, the bread pudding was amazing. Kari, our waitress, gave us some great ideas of what to do while staying here. So friendly and great service. Thanks kari.

Delicious breakfast, eggs and fruit. The only suggestion I would make is to have freshly squeezed juices.

I had the pleasure of eating at The Carolina Room a few times on the weekend. Before I get to the food, I have to make note of a host named Teaker. He is a ball of energy that is the definition of hospitality. Teaker is engaging, cheerful, and a grinder. God bless his journey. Let’s talk about the cuisine. For starters I chose the truffle fries. The bowl of fries was ample and did not disappoint with the flavor. My main meal was shrimp and purple grits. The dish was beautiful and the shrimp was succulent; the portion was also generous. My husband tried the pork chops, collard greens, and mac n cheese. It tasted great, and it looked like it jumped out of the magazine Southern Living. The only thing that was not noteworthy are the dinner rolls. They were room temperature and incompatible with the stiff butter that comes with them. The food is fabulous! We came in late night when Teaker was off the clock. We were looking for coffee and dessert; the bartender didn’t know how to make coffee. Teaker saved the night. If you are a prayerful person, please lift this young man up in prayer. He really wants to finish his education in music education. Teaker is a gem in The Carolina Room. Thank you for the experience and service that you gave me and my husband. Another special thanks to Patti for rolling out a spirit of service during breakfast. The buffet is amazing! This buffet has anything that you want: omelettes, grits, Applewood bacon, oatmeal, eggs, and burritos. Wear spandex so that you can enjoy it! Patti will keep you satiated with beverages. Thank you, Patti for breakfast on Saturday. We missed you terribly on Sunday morning. You and Teaker wrap up an experience to look forward to.

We came here for my birthday dinner. Despite reading previous reviews, we decided to stay at the resort for dinner. The overall atmosphere was fine. Nothing really to push it over the top for amazing and nothing horrible. Service with Jimmy was excellent! He was very attentive. The food was a WHOLE different story. They brought bread rolls. Nothing bad there. Then out came some pimento cheese and breadstick thing. There was a fly in it. We told Jimmy. Then we ordered the She Crab Soup. Tasted great! Then the chartreuse tray came out. Overall, it was good. Again, nothing amazing to bring it over the top. We decided to share the scallop lobster linguine. The dish was divided in the back, which I can appreciate. However, the temp was room temperature at best. The dish was very sticky ? Thick? Just not what we were expecting. And then I bit into something hard! I thought it was a rock. It could have been shell of something but it was very hard. We showed Jimmy. Every birthday girl needs dessert! We ordered the chocolate lava cake and ice cream. Ok. So the word lava implies something will be warm and oozing from this cake. This was NOT warm. Can 't say it was anything but room temperature. There was paper stuck to the bottom as well. The ice cream on top was literally a folded piece of vanilla ice cream. Not a scoop as one would expect on a lava cake. But then again, there was no lava from said cake so maybe no need for ice cream? The texture of this lava cake was like putting a mouthful of cocoa powder in your mouth and using saliva to swallow it down. Horrible. Jimmy was sweet in that the plate had happy birthday written on it with syurp. My only negative with service was that he didn 't alert a manager regarding our repeated issues . Other than that, Jimmy was great. We paid our bill, left a sizeable tip and left. Needless to say, Will not be back. With the resort being a Westin, we really expected higher standards from their food. Oh well.

Excellent dining experience for our weekend stay at the Westin. Our waiter Teaker was the highlight, as he was very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend. Very good with the kids and generally great witb the table.
