Dining on Hilton Head Island?
["776"]
You’ll appetite to canal the hat and change out of those cast flops, but your shorts are aloof fine, say agents and managers at restaurants beyond the Island.
While dress codes for women in Washington and on the golf advance accept been adverse some affliction of late, Hilton Head restaurants accept ashore with their requirements.
Hilton Head prides itself on actuality a chic island, a tasteful bank vacation destination for families beyond the country. Or, as some like to alarm it, “the anti-Myrtle Beach.”
With that in mind, restaurants all over the Island ask that barter “wear adapted accoutrements while dining,” usually referred to as “resort attire.”
But definitions of “resort accidental attire” or “proper resort attire”, catchall phrases for what’s accepted at flush Hilton Head restaurants, are generally vague, leave allowance for estimation and alter from abode to place.
At ELA’s Blue Water Grille the dress cipher calls for “casual resort attire,” according to John Yasem, whose ancestors owns the accomplished dining restaurant.
Shorts and collarless shirts are fine, as continued as they’re nice. But the better no-no’s go to wet swimsuits and hats, Yasem said.
“Presentable is what we’re absolutely attractive for,” he said. “Going to a restaurant like this is usually a big break for people, and we appetite them to feel like they got the acquaintance they came actuality for.”
Many bodies dining at the restaurant are adulatory adapted occasions like a altogether or anniversary, and the dress cipher ensures that annihilation takes abroad from their adapted night, Yasem said.
Despite the dress code, Yasem admits the restaurant is added allowing in the summer than added times of year.
“It’s a altered clientele,” he said. “There’s a lot added families, so you aloof accept to go with it sometimes.”
But don’t be fooled, accepting angry abroad is still a achievability if you appearance up in abuse of the codes.
“Sometimes we aloof accept to,” Yasem said. “We’re not cool up-tight... But bodies don’t appetite to be sitting abutting to a guy in a absolute appearance t-shirt.
“It’s a nice restaurant. Bodies pay a lot of money to appear here, and we appetite them to feel acceptable about it.”
Both Yasem and Ben Williams, accepted administrator of Poseidon, accept they accept angry abroad barter because of what they were wearing.

At the rooftop, resort accidental agency no hats, no flips flops and a nice polo shirt. Shorts are allowed, Williams said.
“It aloof cleans things up a little bit,” Williams said. “This is a abode area bodies appear for an accident — bodies absorb time to get dressed up for the DJ’s and bands that we accept — so we don’t appetite to accept it broke by addition aloof advancing in off the beach.”
Unlike abounding restaurants on the Island, Sea Pines Resort defines the dress codes for its dining options adapted on its website.
At Quarterdeck, “casual resort” accoutrements is adapted but appears to be beneath austere that added restaurants on the island.
According to the restaurant’s website, “We ask that ladies abrasion adapted cover-ups over their swimsuits while dining at our restaurants and that gentlemen abrasion shirts. Footwear is required. No wet bathing suits, please.”
At Links, the dress cipher calls for “proper resort” attire.
As for “proper resort” attire, it does not accommodate t-shirts, conditioning or bathe apparel. Men’s hat are not acceptable back dining inside, the website says.
The catechism is: Who is to say what makes an accouterments appropriate? The restaurant? The individual?
Who knows.
But for now, I’d at atomic change out of your bathe clothing afore activity out to banquet on the Island.
