Restaurants St. Simons Area- Coastal Georgia

There are some excellent restaurants in the St. Simons area of Georgia: Delaney’s, Halyards, Tramici, are all top notch and very consistent. The Cloister boasts 5 star restaurants all over their property. My favorites are the River Bar, Tavloa, and the restaurant at the Beach Club called Southern Tides- it used to be called George’s after the long time front doorman, and I will continue to call it that. George’s offers a Blue Crab salad -fresh from the water daily- a MOUNTAIN of Blue Crab. Beyond delicious….. I will be dreaming about it till I return to the Cloister. Another Sea Island restaurant that is my all time favorite is the Lodge Bar- elegant, and casual at the same time- awesome.
My favorite this trip was Coastal Kitchen and Raw Bar. We went three times. Seafood right out of the water- it is located at the Marina on the causeway to Brunswick. Shockingly good wine list, and really really good fresh seafood. Ambience was terrific and they made the best Gin and Tonic I have ever tasted.
