Poseidon Coastal Cuisine

About

Poseidon is one of Hilton Head’s standout waterfront dining & entertainment destinations, named for the god of the sea and renowned for capturing the essence of coastal living. It’s much more than just a restaurant — it blends fresh, vibrant cuisine with stunning water views, lively bars, and a fun social atmosphere that makes it a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors. Whether you’re coming for a relaxed meal, a sunset cocktail, or a lively rooftop night, Poseidon delivers memorable experiences with warm Lowcountry hospitality and an energetic vibe

Location

You’ll find Poseidon at 38 Shelter Cove Lane, Suite 121, Shelter Cove Towne Centre — right on Broad Creek in the heart of Hilton Head Island’s mid-island dining and entertainment district. Its prime waterfront location provides easy access to nearby shops, the park, and scenic sunset views. The restaurant’s outdoor seating areas make the most of the creekside setting, perfect before or after a stroll along the water

  • Shrimp & grits, crab cakes, and other Lowcountry classics that pair beautifully with a crisp local wine.
  • Signature cocktails and happy hour favorites, especially during sunset on the patio or rooftop.

Vibe

Poseidon’s vibe is lively, coastal, and welcoming — a place where waterfront views and social energy meet. It’s casual enough for families enjoying lunch or dinner with a view, yet it transforms into a vibrant nightlife destination as the sun sets and the rooftop bar comes alive. Outdoor and waterfront seating brings in the fresh breeze and views of Broad Creek, while the mix of locals, vacationers, families, and groups creates a dynamic atmosphere that captures Hilton Head’s laid-back, fun-loving spirit.
