Black Dog Grill - Port Royal

Best meal while on vacation. The black dog grill was well worth drive in from Hilton Head. The experience was amazing! The friendliness of the staff made me feel very special, especially when chef Frank greeted us and the end of our meal. The food was delicious and hot, from the appetizer to the main course everything was very tasty. Definitely worth the money. I highly recommend the black dog grill, can't wait for my next visit. Thank-you chef Frank for a wonderful experience at your restaurant.Kid-friendliness: The stsff was very friendly nd accommodating from our reservation to waiting on us. The chef came to our table to ask how the meal is and he is very nice.Parking: Lots of parking at the side of the restaurant.

This USE to be my favorite place in town, but my recent experience was disappointing. I had the chicken marsala and my wife had a tenderloin. My Marsala was Olive Garden quality and my wife 's steak was overcooked. I always loved my meals here, so I followed up with the restaurant and was told the chef had left recently. The new 'chef was his assistant and is simply very average at best. Nice people, good service, but the qualitity of the food was subpar. My tab was over $100.00 and should have been half of that. Oh well, need to find a new place.

We stopped by on a whim and were extremely happy we did. The staff was so pleasant and the food was incredible, fresh and well seasoned.

We enjoyed a very nice Valentine Dinner at the Black Dog Grill this evening. We really enjoy this small, intimate restaurant which has a small but very good menu and a couple of specials each night. The swordfish was excellent and a very generous portion! Served over a creamy parmesan orzo and a side of haricot verts cooked perfectly al dente. The French Onion soup was delicious as always and enough for two to split. We really enjoyed engaging with our server, Lesley who I believe is one of the owners. Highly recommend the Black Dog Grill if you’re in the area although we drive from Bluffton we like it so well!

We have been to the Black Dog Grill several times in the past, all very nice. Went yesterday for a post-Valentine's day celebration; won't be going again. The prices have skyrocketed :$20 for the oyster appetizer and worse was the $52 ribeye steak which wasn't even close to good.... I can cook a steak better than what I got yesterday at one third the cost. I'll admit the service was good but we won't return... too bad.
