"Our waiter D was very courteous and patient with us. He was professional as well. I had a mix drink and the turkey Deli sandwich with fries. Very delicious. My husband had a burger and taters. That was delicious as well. We had no room for dessert. This was our first time at The Hilton Head Tavern. Merry Christmas"
