Most Disliked
Some guests report minor wait times during peak hours, especially on weekends when the restaurant fills up with families and groups. For some, parking can be a challenge during busy evenings, although the available space is ample most of the time. A few patrons have noted that while the vast menu caters to various tastes, they wish for more vegetarian or vegan options to accommodate broader dietary preferences.
Also, during live music nights, the volume can sometimes overpower conversation, reducing the ability to chat comfortably at the table. However, many guests appreciate the ambiance that music adds to their visit, and it does often add to the vibrant energy of the place.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Fair Winds!! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food was nothing short of amazing! Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and prepared with such care. The service was fantastic!! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. The atmosphere was just as impressive! Over looking the golf course, it was elegant, warm, and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a special evening or a simple night out with the family. An added bonus, the live music created such a charming and relaxing vibe, giving an extra touch of magic to the night. If you’re looking for a place that truly has it all delicious food, attentive service, a beautiful environment, and live entertainment, Fair Winds in Bluffton is the spot. We can’t wait to go back!

Great restaurant and bar. Got take-out last week and surprisingly found another rare good pizza spot! Burgers and giant pretzels are awesome! Decided to go in for dinner on a Thursday night and there was live entertainment. Sat at the bar and had great service. Our meals were exceptional. Had the grilled Romaine salad with chicken and the chicken tacos with chips. Very reasonable pricing. Good beer selection on tap. Great overall atmosphere with good vibes and definitely be back!

I absolutely adore this place!! The food is exceptional and very affordable. The staff is extremely nice and always happy. It is family owned and I love seeing the owners and talking with them and their family. I love the home town feel and the exclusivity of being in a gated community even though you do not have to live there or even be a member to eat at the restaurant. My husband and I love to stop in for a drink and some crackling pork rinds while sitting on the patio as well as coming in for a nice dinner. And I can’t forget to mention, the Sunday brunch is outstanding. Their specials never disappoint. we love it.

I am a local and had no idea this place was here. Beautiful inside with the new renovation. The food was amazing. I had the ahi tuna wrap special and it was the best I have had. The pizza and burger were good as well. Great atmosphere and service. 10/10. We will be regulars.
