This restaurant was located in Sea Pines Center on the Island. Highlights of the meal included their fish of the day:
Herb-Crusted with MahiMahi with Mediteranean dressing (ordered by my brother-in-law).
Grilled Grouper with Parmesean-Basil Sauce (my dish)
This dish had a nice crust on the bottom with a flavorful creamy sauce on top (but not heavy)
Both meals were served with bread and a their own butter (which I think was a compound butter in cream cheese and garlic/herbs), green beans and mashed potatotes were the vegetables du jour.

Hilton Head - Spice
In Hilton Head this week so not doing much cooking but definitely enjoying good food. Our first meal was from the Island's only Indian restaurant, Spice: a trendy, chic restaurant/lounge that looked like it would fit quite well in NYC or the Mandalay Bay.
We ordered the:
-Baked Chilean Sea Bass "simmered in a delicately spiced sauce of mushrooms, mild onion, and pepper"
-Rogan Josh Dopiaza "Australian lamb piece in an onion, tomato, paprika, and ground red chili sauce"
-Tarka Dal
-Baingan Bhartha "eggplant cooked over charcoal in the tandoor served in a tomato and onion sauce"
-Chana Masala "chick peas in a sauce of ginger, tomato, garlic, and delicate spices"
-Garlic and Coriander Naan Roti
-Keema Naan Roti
Our favorites were the baingan and the chana. The chana tasted like it had achar (pickle) with it...maybe the ginger and some lemon/lime with it. Of course, the naan was well received (especially by 2 year-old Jai).
Some other interesting features of the menu include:
-Curried Crab Shorba "fresh crab meat in a loaded soup, tempered with mustard seed and delicate spices"
-Crab Aloo Bonda "potato and fresh crab meat, blended with curry leaves, garlic and cilantro"
-Samundri Skewer "fresh scallops wrapped in bacon and Wild king Shrimp, on a skewer seasoned with roasted garlic and cilantro"
-Hari-Bhari Tilapia "marinated in a mild sauce flavored with Fenugreek, garlic, chili then tenderized in a green coconut chutney sauce"
Hope this inspires some good eating.
