What a refreshing dining experience in Hilton Head. There are tons of mediocre touristy restaurants in the Bluffton/HHI area but they lack consistency, creativity and truly delicious food. Neo is a welcome departure from this! In all fairness, this place deserves 3 1/2 stars.....darn Yelp! The service was friendly and accommodating. I asked to taste the wine before ordering a selection among the whites by the glass and it is a good thing because the Pinot Gris was not to my liking. Our server suggested the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and her recommendation was spot on. They also have a nice selection of beers. I dined with my husband and in-laws and between the four of us, we enjoyed the tomato pie and sweet and spicy shrimp appetizers, the tuna avocado wraps, a salad with the angry tuna, a beautiful BBQ flat bread pie and the collard greens and sautéed spinach and mushrooms. All of the food was nicely prepared. Nothing was truly standout except the flatbread and sides of greens but the overall consistency and yummy factor are enough to garner a repeat visit. The atmosphere here is a bit quirky but endearing nonetheless. It is touted as farm to table (and the food appears to be such) but feels like a pub situated in a nondescript strip mall. But the service and food are really quite good. Definitely worth going to.

My fiancée and I love Neo. We've been to a lot of restaurants / bars in Hilton Head and Neo is in our top 5. Love the farm to table concept. Really cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The "Happy Bird" special is fabulous.. 25% off your bill from 4-6 I believe. It's the best deal we've seen for early dining and drinking anywhere! You have to try the steak and eggs flatbread pizza, it's incredible. Cheers!

Excellent Choice For Lunch!! I would highly recommend this Farm To Table Restaurant!! The BLT sandwich was wonderful:-)
(5)Dale B.
Great Valentines Day evening! We even were able to use a coupon. I highly recommend the filet mignon, with pimento cheese glaze...oh my gosh! My wife had the salmon and we shared...really delicious!
(5)Toni R.
Farm to table and fresh! Wait staff is exceptional with good recommendations on both food and hand crafted cocktails. Food prepared very well and presented beautifully!
(5)Doug S.
Oh my is this place fantastic. We wish we didn't live so far away! Amazing wine list with very fair prices, delicious cocktails, and the food, just amazing. Local farm to table, all high quality ingredients and made with care. The deviled eggs, burger, and egg BLT were all outrageously good. They even split our sandwiches on our plates since they knew we wanted to share them. We didn't even ask they just did it. The staff is attentive and knowledgable and I spoke to the owners wife about the very intelligently crafted wine list and she was sweet as can be. If you are anywhere near Neo go eat there. You will not be disappointed. Worth the short drive from Palmetto Bluff! If this place was anywhere near Boston it would thrive. Don't listen to the negative reviewers there are some people who are just never happy. This place deserves all the praise it gets.
(5)D A.
Best dinner (food wise) in a very long time. This farm to table restaurant had the best food. The hummus was awesome. Service was average as we had to wait 15 minutes for a glass of wine. The head chef stopped by and said hello This spot felt like a locals place. The decor was nice and was quite cute.
(5)Emily M.
Had a great dinner here while on vacation! It's def hidden in a shopping plaza off a main road and I didn't see outdoor seating (maybe cause it was 90!). I got take out and lots of options to choose from, although, the burgers/sandwiches were not part of the dinner menu which seemed odd. Nonetheless I fully enjoyed the fish bowl salad with mahi mahi. Moderate portion of fresh mixed greens and veggies (cucumber, tomato and onions)...would have preferred more lettuce. This isn't a big salad so you def need an app or side to fill you up. Great balsamic dressing too! Ordered the truffle fries too which came with some type of bbq ketchup which was also yummy! Bill came to about $25 including tax ($15ish for the salad, $6ish for the fries). The bar was a great space and def a spot to go back to for a drink or even to eat. There were a couple of professional women sitting and working alone at the bar eating so it's def a spot you can go to by yourself and feel comfortable. Only complaint was that the staff was a little less than nice at first - as an out of Townes, I had some questions and the couple of girls seemed annoyed by me. They weren't overly sincere in helping me decide and my salad was a little skimpy on the mahi mahi portion so I noted it and they put more on free of charge. I'll def be back.

So the group consensus is really a 4.5 but it's not a solid five so. The half star is for service and I kinda feel bad because it was slow because it appeared to be understaffed when we got there. Two people for the whole place and to do seating. We felt bad. After that the service really picked up. The food. So, so good. Appetizer: pulled pork nachos and pimento cheese and crackers. The key is to combine the two. The pulled pork is tender and tasty. The chia were perfectly cooked. The sauce. Lord almighty we needed some bread. Called moppin sauce for a reason. The pimento cheese, of which my sister is an afficiando, was excellent. I loved it and I don't enjoy pimento cheese. Some good heat on it. The key is putting the pimento cheese on the nachos. Sweet fancy Moses. I won genius points for that suggestion. Mains: the burger, ribs, pasta yaya, bbq dry rubbed mahi mahi. The bottom line is that all the plates were cleared. Completely cleared. Dessert: chocolate cake, flourless chocolate torte, bourbon pecan pie, and carrot cake. We shoveled as much of the decadence into our faces as possible. Raves reviews on the cocktails (delicious and strong ) and the beers (great variety). This is getting added to the vacation must list.
(4)Mareesa T.
Hands down, one of THE BEST meals I have ever had! Tucked away in a cute little plaza, the restaurant itself is upscale rustic--lots of reclaimed wood and great lighting. The food is...the food is amazing. Farm to table and unbelievably fresh. The calamari is the most tender I have ever had (and we sample it everywhere we go!) and needs no sauce! The menu is a delicious read--the shrimp and grits didn't disappoint. If they have the bacon steak, it's a must. The spinach and mushrooms side is fresh and garlicky in the best way possible. And don't even get me started on dessert--the carrot cake and coconut cake were perfection! Service was outstanding--I hugged Kristen when we left! I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Worth every penny spent!

Love Neo's and love the fact that they offer so many gluten free options. At most restaurants, I can choose from one or two items. At Neo's, besides being a "farm to table" restaurant, there are gluten free appetizers, salads, entrees and pizzas. We sat at the bar and enjoyed talking to the bartender and learning about his specialty drinks. A little pricey, but worth it for fresh local ingredients.
(5)Kim A.
I have Celiacs and it can be hard to find good and safe places to eat. Tonight was my husband and my 9th wedding anniversary and we decided to try Neo. It was amazing! I try to support farm to table restaurants wherever I am and this place was my doing double duty for me as they have a wonderful selection of gluten free options. My appetizer was superb as was my entree. I had the Holy Sh*t Nachos as my appetizer and they are wonderful. We decided to share our entrees and I am so glad we did! I was able to have some spare ribs, truffle fries, sautéed spinach, and the bbq free bird GF pizza! This was a phenomenal meal! We will be back each and every time we are here! Great job to the chef! :)
(5)Alden F.
I LOVE that they use fresh local ingredients but I was not impressed with the food. The ribs had WAY too much salt and pepper which made them almost inedible. I really enjoy seasoning including salt and pepper but everyone with me agreed it was way over the top. They were cooked well and the sauce was good though. It is also more expensive than it should be. I expect more for the price. Alcoholic drinks were good and the kids menu is great.
(4)Jeff H.
Great concept, but I found that I was disappointed with the quality of the cooking. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't special. Too bad, this area needs more good restaurants.
(3)Patti H.
They try but miss - many plates have too much sweetness and the concept that all is "locally" sourced is not valid - when I asked about the NW salmon on the menu - the wait person said that the fish distributor was "local" ok sort of a big stretch Generally dishes we got were mediocre- too overdone or too over or under flavored ... Not planning a repeat visit
(2)Wendi G.
First hint is don't follow the directions on your GPS to find the restaurant. The address tries to take you into Moss Creek and this is actually just off 278. The menu talks about local flavors, ingredients and being a gastropub. What this will mean to the consumer is it is very pricey, small, dark and has a lot of wood. Appetizers average around $10+ and some even go as high as $15. We decided to try the Farmhouse Salad, Holy $h!t Pork Nachos and Neo Margherita Pizza. The salad was very fresh with local ingredients and a light dressing. The nachos were a play on the term and had shredded pork and lots of flavor. The pizza was a little tough. The dough was only OK and the toppings were sparse - ex. 3 leaves of basil. Service was just average - we sat at the bar and had to flag someone down once our food was delivered for silverware and napkins. We also had two drinks each to go with dinner which totaled a check of over $100.
(3)Kristy G.
Local and fresh. Great food, awesome specialty drinks. French pressed coffee. You can really taste the fresh ingredients. Save room for dessert, it's worth it!
(5)Camille S.
Really yummy! I had a perfect gluten free pizza. My daughter's popcorn chicken however, was all wrong. It was over-cooked and most likely with dirty fryer grease. The overall experience was excellent and I will likely eat here again.
(4)Crystal M.
By far one of my favorite places now. Service was awesome, food was amazing, and no long wait. I had the shrimp and grits that were delicious. My husband tried the New York strip stroganoff and it was very tasty!! This place is farm to table and all ingredients come from farms within 90 miles. Definitely recommend this place to any locals or if you're in town vacationing.
(5)Danielle P.
I live in California, but every time I visit this area Neos is a must! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I am very excited to have Chef Russel and his team cater my wedding next June! :) ps. Try the short ribs! Yum!
(5)Marie E.
This place had exceptional food and service. The staff was knowledgable and attentive and they served up some delicious plates. We were there for lunch and really enjoyed it. We had a vegetarian in our group and she was quite pleased with her food, as well. It was in a little strip mall going onto Hilton Head Island. Would definitely recommend.
(5)Ronni Z.
Our entrees were delicious. I had the fish bowl salmon salad. The house fig balsamic is fabulous. My husband had the bbq chicken flatbread and he ate the entire thing. He was sick from being so full but it was well worth it. The prices were right on. The drink menu was eh. I had the Neopolitan and it tasted like the generic vodka and oceanspray cranberry drink that the "annoying dude who thinks he's a mixologist at every party" would make. Desserts were also a huge let down. We took them to-go because we were so full from dinner. Bacon maple cheesecake was just not done correctly. The red velvet cake was old- like half wrapped in plastic wrap from a week ago- bad. I think the icing was supposed to be cream cheese but it's debatable. I would go back but would probably stick to the entrees and a basic beer or beverage and go somewhere else for dessert.
(4)Christiana G.
I loved this restaurant. It has an awesome atmosphere and love the decor. Even the bathroom was adorable. I got to meet the owners, they were very nice people. The bar has a really good selection of draft beers.
(5)Tom G.
I have to agree with the other reviewer who said that the food was too sweet. I understand the whole sweet and savoury concept but my dish was way too sweet and not enough savoury. My wife's dish was ok, even though she complained that it was too spicy for her. Desert was delicious. The service we got was slow and it wasn't busy as we waited forever for our drinks to arrive. Cannot recommend.
(2)Audrey H.
I've been thinking about the low country pizza I had weeks go nonstop so I decided I should give this place a review. Everything is fresh & delicious. The cocktails are also top notch.
(5)Brenda J.
This place is amazing. Try to find a better place. Pizza was amazing and the burger was the best I ever had. Who knew goat cheese and fig jam with bacon could taste so wonderful. Do yourself a favor eat here soon and often. Waiter was on the spot and the manager couldn't be more accommodating.
(5)Urban G.
A great meal! And fairly hopping even for a Monday night. Great cozy decor, great atmosphere. I haven't really seen this hip of a spot in the Hilton Head area! A nice addition / option for the area. We sampled a bunch of Appetizers -- deviled eggs, pimento cheese dip, tuna lettuce wraps, steak tartar, mac & cheese, truffle fries. All were really tasty. Wow, the mac and cheese was amazing. And the Steak Tartare was a fun mix your own and all the fixings were offered on the plate. Wine and beer options were good as well. I'll definitely return & spread the word!
(5)Barbara W.
LOVE the concept and atmosphere. If I lived nearby, I would absolutely be a regular, just for those reasons...as well as for the obvious quality of their ingredients. The crab/corn chowder was delicious, and a perfect balance of favors and textures. The deviled eggs were delicious, although they could have used a savory element to balance the candied bacon and sweet onion sauce. However, I do have some (what I hope is) constructive criticism. 1. The menu is way too big. I would strongly suggest cutting the menu in half, so they can really focus on the items they do best and do them well. This may be the root of my other issues. 2. I expected, at a place like this, that items would be more made to order. The lettuce wraps were obviously made ahead and refrigerated, which made the tuna way too cold ( should have been room temperature or slightly warm). The uniform cold temperature mad the dish feel too one-note, even though the favors were spot on. 3. The wonton special was overwhelmed by the cheese choice. A milder cheese would have allowed the other favors (greens and Tasso) to come through. 4.The box of popcorn with the popcorn chicken was hokey. Focus on flavor, not gimmicks. I have every confidence Neo will succeed. They are so close to greatness, and the glimpses of food brilliance during my meal were exceptional.
(3)Susan M.
LOVE NEO! The pizzas and truffle fries are delish and the skinny bitch margaritas are the best
(5)Craig A.
Not up to my standards. Too much chit chat about non restaurant business with bar tender (owner?) and servers, I just hate employees sweeping floors around my table while we are eating. Yes I told her to wait 30 minutes and she did, seemed shocked. Service poor despite only 3 tables of customers and 3 or 4 servers.... Most lunch food were priced over $10, not going back. And I am sure this will not get posted here. Sorry place.
(1)Michelle H.
Really enjoyed our dinner here. Love that they support the farm to table concept. The ceasar salad, pork nachos & vegetarian pizza were all amazing! Love the ambiance, and the service was great too!
(5)Christopher P.
Excellent, fresh gourmet hamburger. Unique drinks. Locally sourced ingredients and meat from Hunter Cattle company. Flat bread is also very good. Chef Russell has created a great experience.
(5)Louis p.
Tried lunch on a few people's recommendation. People are too quick to give out 5 stars to restaurants. My tuna sandwich on a brioche roll was less than spectacular. The roll was not fresh and tasteless. For $13.50 I expected a lot better. The heirloom term is easily used but I am not sure worthy of the mention. My wife ordered an oyster spinach salad ($13.79) but requested a different dressing. It came with NO oysters and when we told the waitress, she said, "Oh, I can bring you oysters?!?!" when they brought the corrected order, it was less than special. Too much tasteless mushrooms and not exciting spinach leaves. It seems most of the satisfied reviews were over the pizzas and burgers. I agree with one persons comments that the menu is way too large. Experts say to keep it small and do 5 stars on fewer items.
(2)Ryan C.
Wow. We are from the area, but have been living in Charleston for the past two years. I am so excited to have such a high quality restaurant in the area. We couldn't decide what we wanted to eat, so we got a mix of small dishes, sides, and a pizza. Everything was great. The flavors were simple and clean, and every ingredient tasted fresh and flavorful... right down to the Jack Rudy tonic in the cocktail. Oh, and the draft beer selection couldn't have been better! Our server was personable and knowledgeable, but not overbearing. This was a perfect dining experience from every angle, on par with the better restaurants of any metropolitan foodie place. Keep at it!
(5)Liz G.
Loved this place so much I ate there for lunch and dinner just to try different things on the menu. Food is fresh, (farm to table). Staff is very friendly, service is quick and taste is beyond words.
(5)George C.
Gourmet. Just reading the menu is amazing. The food itself does not disappoint at all after the menu and extremely friendly, knowledgeable and proud waitresses detailed descriptions. This place is awesome!
(5)Beth B.
After hearing some great reviews from other "locals", I decided to take my parents there for an early dinner. We saw the chef selecting the herbs for our meal from the "herb garden" outside the restaurant. Talk about fresh and local!! The waitress was excellent and answered all our questions about the interesting selections on the menu. The chicken liver appetizer came highly recommended and according to my father, exceeded his expectations. We had the margarita flatbread, the Lowcountry Boil flatbread, crab/corn chowder and oysters and each meal was as fresh and delicious as the next. For those who prefer to stay out of the crowds, they have 25% off before 6pm ( I believe that was the correct time). We will absolutely be returning to try more of the tempting meals from their menu. Also be aware that they serve straight from lunch through dinner and also offer carryout. You can't go wrong with this great new restaurant from Chef Russell!!
(5)Maryanne W.
This was hands down the best place we ate at on the Island when we visited. Love the ambience, hand lettered decor, & hammered copper bar. The drink menu is creative and I wanted to try everything. I had the lavender lemon drop-refreshing and really smooth. I liked that it wasn't super sweet. We shared the sweet potato fritters & smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese as appetizers. The fritters were cooked to perfection; crispy on the outside & smooth & creamy on the inside. The Mac & cheese was a bit soupy. Nothing wrong with the flavor or it having lots of cheese but we had pools of runny cheese congealing at the bottom of our bowl. My Mom had the short rib crepes & raved about them. I had the BBQ pork nachos & they were delish. The portion sizes for the entrees are very generous-we both had plenty of leftovers to take home. We also tried the lemon/lavender/kohlrabi slaw as a side. Compared to everything else we had, this was nothing special. We were expecting a bright, punchy palate cleanser. Sadly, it was bland, under salted, & The lemon & lavender were undetectable. Our server, Lauren, was great. She was attentive, friendly, & knowledgable about the menu. The only service complaint we had was that the bartender delivered drinks to the table next to us and then stood there for 10 minutes talking really really loudly with the patrons (who she knew). It's none of my business if she wanted to catch up with friends but doing it so loudly and for an extended period of time was pretty disruptive to our meal. Overall, we were very happy with our meal and Lauren's great service.

Delicious farm to table food. Bacon steak? Yes, please! Good wine list with a nice glass selection. Killer pimiento cheese and the best collards I have ever had. They also make an outstanding dirty martini.
(5)Katie P.
Found this place on yelp and it did not disappoint! EVERYTHING was fantastic and the staff was extremely accommodating! Order before 6 and get 25% off!!
(5)John B.
I am so sorry that John K didn't have a great experience. I have been to Neo several times through their transition to the new restaurant. I love what they have done to the bar and the new floors. The place has a great atmosphere. I went there last week. I had the deviled eggs which were fantastic.. I think I may go back there for lunch just to order those again. We ordered the Oysters Rockefeller pizza, and the Country Ham & Fig pizza. We are still arguing which one we liked better. The leftovers were equally as good as the fresh. Our server was also great. The restaurant has been busier each time we go there, and this visit was no exception, but our meal still came out on time. I understand they are still doing some construction inside, and will be adding beer taps and menu adjustments, but we had a great time, and great food. I would totally recommend it.
(5)Steve A.
Enjoyed the steak and eggs flatbread and the wahoo special, delicious food and friendly staff!
(4)Margaret G.
Neo was such a great experience. As a vegetarian, I am always psyched to see more than one option on a menu, and Neo had quite a few. As tempting as everything sounded on the menu, the actual food did not disappoint. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. The presentation was also rockin'. Not to mention the serving sizes. We had way more food than we could eat and ended up with some awesome leftovers the next day. Fun atmosphere and great staff to boot. Give Neo a try!
(5)Christina B.
I was very excited to have a gastropub in the area! The interior is "cozy hip" and the restaurant is very inviting. I love the warm woods and I understand that all of the tables were handmade! That attention to detail carries through to the food offerings as well. If you are a bacon lover (and who isn't) you will love the bacon steak. It's meaty, tender and very unlike the artificially smoked variety of bacon you get at the supermarket. I also had the mac n' cheese and it was delicious. The chef uses smoked Gouda which really adds an interesting twist. What makes this restaurant stand out for us is the creative nuances to all of its cuisine. The kitchen successfully mixes unique ingredients and takes these dishes to the next level. One dish that emphasizes this for me is the oysters Rockefeller flatbread - fried oysters, spinach, smoked gouda cream and absinthe drizzle. WOW! The flavors married perfectly and everyone at our table loved it. The restaurant uses local, farm-sourced ingredients in all of their dishes and they list their many farm sources on the big blackboard wall. We loved that. Great time, great drinks, great food! We will be back often.
(5)Sean R.
Chef Russell Keane has done it again. Local farm to table fare is exquisite, and innovative. The delightful servings are presented beautifully, and palate pleasing. We had Crab Cakes that were extraordinary. Several visits will be enjoyed to further explore the intriguing menu. Save room for the deserts. We enjoyed a butterscotch pie that was heavenly.
(5)Kristen F.
Hands down the best place in Bluffton: HHI ! Awesome !
(5)TJ M.
Had high hopes but we were very disappointed. My drunken salmon salad was just a piece of flavorless fish on a bed of dry lettuce with some raw mushrooms thrown on top. My husbands short rib burger was tough and again lacked flavor. The truffle fries just tasted like plain ol fries and my sons pasta was drowned in butter. The service was not that great considering we were like the only customer they had. Also, VERY expensive for what you get!
(1)John K.
Decided to try a new place for a change, was disappointed to say the least. After a bill of $120.00 for two of us I left with the feeling of being robbed. The chowder and the ribeye steak was over spiced. To the extent it was too spicy to eat. The service was also less than impressive. A meal that should have taken 45 minutes took an hour and a half. We sat for 20 minutes after our meal just to get our check. I would not recommend this restaurant for dinner to a friend.
(1)Martha P.
This is an open review directed specifically to the owner. I want you to know that through my travels I have eaten in some very high-end and world famous restaurants. The one thing that is separating you from coming close to them is your policy of adding the tip to the bill during your "happy hour". No where on your menu did you warn me nor did your less than attentive waitress (in fact the manager had to bring us the "correct" part of two entrees) that you add a tip to the bill. My husband, who does have issues reading in such a dark atmosphere totally missed seeing that you had added the tip and therefore added another tip. We are still reeling from that experience. Your excuse, as explained at a later date to a friend, is lame at best. You add the tip during happy hour so that your waiters are tipped on the "regular" price? Our food was NOT half price - only our drinks. Are you kidding me? Why do I suspect that if we had ordered sodas you still would have added the tip. I think you need to immediately change this tip policy. If you insist on this ridiculous way to do business then you MUST make it clear on your menu or insist that every waiter warn the customer of this practice. Your failure to do so may ultimately be the straw that breaks the camels back. Please be advised that I am writing to SC Consumer Affairs about the way you conduct your "TIP" business. You are not that big, not that good and not that important to continue this practice.
(1)Rizwan M.
This place has to be one of the best dinner and bars I have been to in a long time. The food is so great that we went back a second night. The Chicken Pot Pie and Mac and Cheese are the unbelievable. Additionally the owner is wonderful and had great stories to tell. The local crowd there treat you like family and teach you about new drinks that you can try. If you are in town most definitely make your way out here!
(5)Callie M.
During a recent trip to Hilton Head Island, my family and I decided to get carry-out from Neo's. We ordered a lot of food and when we sat down to eat, no one was pleased. Two of us ordered the "Fishbowl Salads" with salmon, which turned out to be tasteless and unrecognizable, sitting on top of a plain and sub-par salad (a few tomatoes here, an onion there). The Flatbread appetizer was wrongly advertised and turned out to be more of a pizza, which wasn't what we wanted. The cole slaw was not good, nor were the vegetable sides. Overall, we were extremely displeased with the entire experience. Would not recommend.
(1)sam j.
After reading the reviews I was all set for a night to have my pallet blown with food and wine pairings since this place is self labeled as a gastro pub and wine bar. The wine selections were nothing to get excited about and the server really didn't know much about wine at all. She did know how to spill it on the table while she poured tho. I've had a more experienced server at cracker barrel. Basic wine etiquette while serving up the wine was non existent and we did our own repour with both bottles. The food was pretty average and for trying to jump on the gastro train I had hoped Hilton head would finally have a restaurant that would explore complex flavors but I didn't have this experience. I think the concept for the restaurant is a great idea and the menu shows they are thinking in the right direction but the execution still needs some work. I will go back in hopes that it will get better down the road.
(3)Tess S.
A needed addition to the Hilton Head/Bluffton dining scene. The interior is warm and inviting, noticed the "chill" music playing overhead. Nice touch. The menu is extensive, there is something for everyone! We had the sweet and spicy calamari which was perfectly cooked and plentiful. It's the best version I have had in the area. The selection of flatbread pizzas are really unique. We shared the oysters Rockefeller pizza and the fig and country ham... Both were really, really good! Our waitress was a pleasure. Overall, a super time. We will be back with friends!
(5)J.P. H.
Tried NEO Saturday afternoon, after hearing about it from several people. My friend and I arrived at 4:30-ish, after realizing neither of us had eaten all day. We were the only ones there...embarrassingly, we were there even before the early bird crowd. After being seated, our server introduced herself. I wish I could remember her name, as she made the visit really special. She described each of the evening's specials to us, and answered all of the questions I had. Couldn't decide on one appetizer to try, so we ordered hummus and the day's wonton special. Hummus plate had three different kinds (traditional, black bean, and roasted red pepper)...all were great, but I would visit everyday for the black bean. The wontons contained chicken, greens, and goat cheese. Light, super flavorful. I had pan-roasted grouper for my entree, and it was served over a field pea cassoulet. My friend had shrimp and grits along with the spinach and goat cheese salad(?). All of it was awesome. I was surprised by how large the grouper entree was, and I couldn't finish it. My friend and I both commented on how noticeable the difference is when a place uses locally sourced ingredients...absolutely delicious. Back to our server (Tiffany, maybe?)...she was truly wonderful! Had the chance to speak with her quite a bit early on, and she told me about NEO and the area. Even as the place quickly filled up, she took incredible care of my friend and I. Loved this place, and can't wait to return!
(5)Michelle S.
I have been twice for lunch and have not been that impressed. First of all the menu I got was dirty. It seems to me that a newer restaurant would spend some time cleaning the menu before handing it to a customer. Also it is a farm to table concept with no specials at lunch. One would think that a lunch special featuring local in season produce would be appropriate in a farm to table concept. Additionally there was nothing really on the menu that represented in season produce. My husband and I got the prime rib sandwich and the pulled pork and split it. The pork comes with slaw and is topped with buttermilk onion rings. Well it came with one onion ring and that was it and you can't even taste the peach or jalapeno in the slaw, it just tasted like regular cole slaw. The prime rib sandwich with blue cheese sauce, bacon, onion, and house blend cheese was way too rich, it needed something to cut the richness and it didn't have any caramelized onions at all on it. The truffle fries were good fires but I didn't taste truffle at all and the side of pasta salad was only ok due to the fact that the tomatoes in it were not even close to being ripe. My final criticism is that each sandwich came with a pile of cheap pickle slices from a jar. We are in the south, you should be pickling your own stuff (okra, green beans, cukes) and serving it on the plate. On a positive note both sandwiches came on decent bread that was fresh and did not distract from the flavor of the sandwiches.

Creative concept for the Hilton Head/ Bluffton scene. Glad to see farm to table concept that has been happening in other urban areas taking a chance down here. To be honest, I loved it! The chalk board walls and whimsical and fun. So much potential to change and make the interior fresh and new. Cocktail list, diverse and well crafted. Nice beer and wine choices. Large food menu and everything that came out was much enjoyed (ahi tuna, seared tuna, pasta, pizza, and popcorn chicken for the niece). For only being open three weeks this place is moving in the right direction. Most importantly, when we were there every table was filled and only empty plated were going back to the kitchen. I hope this place succeeds because it truly can do so much with seasonal ingredients and local ingredients. This place really only has the sky as the limit! It is a small-ish place so make reservations or come early because in busy season this place could be hopping!

I wanted to let others know how pleased I was to find such a fine restaurant in our area. The food was simply wonderful and was done with taste and distinction. I also would add that the service was on a high level and extremely helpful and courteous staff all together. I recommend this restaurant highly and have nothing but praise for the chef; I'll be stopping by again without doubt!
