20,000 leagues OVER the sea - Poseidon new restaurant on Hilton Head

Anyone who has visited Hilton Head Island knows that one of the pre-eminent organizations here is the Serg Group. With already nine wildly popular themed style restaurants, Steve Carb (the mostly invisible mastermind) has in the last month started yet another adventure.

Poseidon is poised to become another favorite and another conundrum for those of us who live here to decide which ones of his creations to choose for the evening! (Especially for my friend Donna and I!)

I obviously don't know the budgets of the other members of this group, but the creation of Poseidon is rumored to have cost over $3million. Located in the new Shelter Cove Town Center, Poseidon was initially described as 'the most upscale dining on the island'. Now, I don't want to get into a debate with Carb, but I'd have to say that this kind of isn't exactly the impression of the restaurant. Instead I'd say it's a hip, happening, comfortable representation of the lifestyle of Hilton Head. They also give a bow to our sports fanaticism   - I have NO idea how HUGE the Poseidon upper deck bar areais up on the upper deck lounge area,   as well as provide for sweeping views of broad creek with warmers for you to sit outside (yes, those of us who call this area home are FREEZING when it reaches 50 degrees). What's the rest of the ambiance - sleek, crisp, while still being inviting.

As for the menu, Poseidon leaves no stone unturned. The Sunday brunch is extensive and has everything from the typical omelet station to shrimp and grits, salads, waffles, sausages, etc. The regular menu is HUGE and they have a very extensive oyster bar. You may select the oysters on the half shell from our local May River, or oysters baked, or broiled, or served with cajun sausage, or rockefeller, or whatever creative way the chef decides for that day. The fresh fish is pretty, and served on plates that are so pretty that you scarecely know where to dig in. Obviously they have the standard Maryland Crab cakes - though not full of fillers - mussels, calamari, but they also have salmon sliders, jambalaya skewer but also crispy duck wings thrown in for good measure.

If the food isn't enough to entice you - in keeping with our island theme of fun and events, Poseidon haView 2 from upper decks a schedule for all kinds othings!

In case you need to pick up some kind of a gift or memento, also attached to Poseidon is the Coastal Provisions Company; it's a way of life. This flagship store by The Serg Group is accessed on the main floor and has all kinds of very cute things. The theme is that of our endangered loggerhead sea turtles and Coastal Provisions is partnering with our Coastal Discovery Museum to again bring more awareness to these beautiful creatures! There're things for the little ones, to big ones. Locally made wonderfully fragrant, hand made soaps, obviously tshirts, caps, towels, but also creative wine stoppers, tea towels, things for dogs, (no cats yet), grits, etc.

Basically it's another home run for Steve Carb and The Serg Group.
