Cafe Europa

We just returned from two weeks at Hilton Head. We were pleased to visit Alligator Grill, Hemingways, Sunset Grill and Marley%26#39;s to have great meals. We returned to Cafe Europa as long time regulars to have an all time worst experience. We visited on a Wednesday night about 7 when the restaurant was only moderately busy. The service was inattentive approaching poor. The bread was stale, room temp, sub-heat and eat roll quality. One entree was adequate, a grouper dish. I ordered the Shrimp Daufuskie. The shrimp and crab stuffing were mediocre; the hollandaise sauce was umber grease. Vegentables on both plates were absolute splooge. I%26#39;ve had better in TV dinners. In keeping with the management%26#39;s concern about quality, nobody asked about our food or service. Further, this meal might have been the most expensive of the trip. I am confident nobody is paying attention at Cafe Europa these days. At one time it was an OK place. Not any more.



Cafe Europa


Cafe Europa changed ownership a number of years ago. It is no longer on anyones list of a goto place.





On the otherhand the Quarterdeck and their Topside section is now the preferred restaurant for the Calibogue View.

Thanks for the info. We%26#39;re leaving Saturday for a week at HHI, and five years ago, Cafe Europa was one of our favorite restaurants. Thanks for the heads up. We also like Alexander%26#39;s in Palmetto Dunes -- is this restaurant still topnotch?




It is now owned by the group that also owns the Old Oyster Factory and RedFish. The menu is similar to that at the Old Oyster Factory. The owner of this chain was the original owner of Alexanders.
