Delicious Dinner - Edit
Vegan dining options are limited on HHI, but thankfully we found this gem. Had a wonderful dinner here last night. Food was fresh and delicious. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. Mushroom crepes were on point and the Mediterranean chick’un was so good! Highly recommend!

AMAZING! - Edit
Please try these vegan dishes! This higher-end restaurant is such a gem. Not everything is vegan, but the chef is super flexible, and I think his dishes are extremely flavorful and worth the wait. Best vegan cheese I’ve ever tried!

Amazing 5 star - Edit
October 2018 This restaurant is amazing for both vegans and non-vegans. It is so great to have a restaurant with more than one vegan option that also serves meat. My whole group loved the food. I had the Buffalo Cauliflower and the plantain gnocchi, it was definitely worth the price. The drinks were equally delicious. The vegan chocolate cake was amazing. The entertainment was perfect, not too loud which allowed us to both enjoy the music and conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic Vegan Items! - Edit
The studio has always been a good choice for a delicious dinner in a unique and enjoyable environment. The addition of multiple vegan items to the standard menu has made it even better. Start with the Buffalo Cauliflower and move on to one of the amazing vegan entrees. You will be happy!

Meh... - Edit
I was excited about the many clearly-marked vegan items. However, the food is INSANELY over-priced and pretty underwhelming. I think the dishes are much more expensive than some of the best vegan dining in Los Angeles (where I just moved from). The gnocchi was nothing interesting. The Mediterranean chick-un says it has "smoked seitan" but it's literally just a strip of that vegan bacon you can buy at any grocery store. Since the food was OK, I'd consider going back, but the prices are too high for me to actually do it. I can make tastier vegan dishes in my own kitchen. In other news, the ambiance is unique.

Good vegetarian & vegan options - Edit
Very good vegetarian & vegan items, marked clearly on the menu. The dining area is relatively small. The service is good & formal. They had a vegan desert option. We had the soup of the day, pad thai, hummus, plantain gnocchi, & cheesecake. This was too much food as the portions are large. We should have stuck with 2 entries, or 1 entree & 2 other small dishes. The food was good, but not incredible. The prices are of course high. But for a vegetarian or vegan on Hilton Head, this was good. If you dine again within 30 days you can use your receipt for buy one entree get one free.

Cuisine beyond the Standard Vegan Option - Edit
The Studio bills a fine dining experience, but I find it more bohemian. The vegan portion of the menu has about 4 options, some of which seem standard but most of which have special flavor twists. We got "exotic mushroom crepes," but I was disappointed at zero exotic mushrooms, as billed, but all porcini. The plating is nice, but the "price is [not] right," in my opinion.
Read morePros: vegan options, unique flavor combinations
Cons: overly priced

My favorite fancy vegan restaurant - Edit
This place rocks. The owners are vegan animal activists. The menu has a vegan section, and they decided not to make the entire restaurant vegan because it would not sustain itself. Understandable. They always have about 6 vegan entrees, and multiple vegan appetizers and always have at least one amazing vegan dessert! The only problem is it is very, very, very expensive. I'm talking about $26 for a plate of pad thai expensive. So this is for special occasions or if you are rich lol. The other cool thing is the art work on the walls. One of the owners paints animal activist paintings and sells them from the restaurant ! Very cool ~

Best vegan dinner in HHI! - Edit
I visit HHI twice a year and always make sure to eat here. The service is exceptional and the vegan options are always excellent. Buffalo cauliflower is delicious and they always have some kind of sorbet for a dessert option. You won't be disappointed.

large vegan/vegetarian section of menu! - Edit
The food was phenomenal! I went with my non-veg family and they were all jealous of my delicious "seasonal salad" with buffalo cauliflower- so jealous that we went back just for that another day. I had the Plantain Gnocchi for my main course which had a delicious Thai coconut sauce and then they had vegan chocolate cheesecake with almond milk ice cream for dessert! I never get dessert so it was a great treat. I want to go back to try the other options on the menu ... I would highly recommend this place!

Unique and Superb Vegan/Vegitarian Food! - Edit
The food here is phenomenal! It's a rare treat to find a restaurant that has a focus on vegan and vegetarian food. It's not an afterthought, it's more like the focus. From appetizers, soups, entrees and desserts, both vegan and vegetarian items and WOW are they good. Nothing normal here, nothing basic. It's all really really interesting. The chef here is fantastic.
Read moreThere is a small intimate staff, makes for a very personal touch to the experience. Food, art, music, friendly staff and great wine.
I had the Eggplant Jambalaya, loved it. I posted a picture of part of the menu to give you an idea of what they have, but I also posted a picture of my meal as the menu description does not do it justice.
This is a fine dining experience, but it did not seem like you needed to be too fancy. It was mostly full while I was there and there was a wide range of attire, but nicer than average.
There are 3 dining areas: main room, 2nd dining room, and an outdoor patio. Also a small bar where you can also dine.
worth a visit if you are in Hilton Head
Pros: Excellent Selection of Veg Options, Hi Quality Food & Service

Absolutely wonderful! - Edit
We were visiting meat-eating friends on HHI. I suggested The Studio so I could find something to eat, and we were all very happy with the choice. They have so many vegan options, and the eggplant dish I chose was delicious. One of the meat-eaters chose the vegan Pad Thai, and she loved it, too. The vegan sorbet dessert was wonderful as well. The only complaint I had was that the live music was too loud for normal conversation.

Cons: Music too loud

Upscale with Nice Vegan Options - Edit
This was a lovely night at this interesting restaurant. There is art everywhere, much of which are creations of the owner, I believe. We were there on a Friday night and there was a local musician who did a nice job. The food was very good - not only are there several vegan options on the menu, but the kitchen was more than happy to offer other suggestions besides those "from the garden" on the menu. We started with the hummus appetizer, which was great (and abundant!) For entrees we ordered the mushroom crepes and the 'hippie loaf' - both were very good! Dessert was some tasty sorbet from local creamery Pino Gelato. Unique and tasty!

Finally, a veg-knowledgeable place on HHI - Edit
There are at least 5 veg/vegan items on the menu, and their soup of the day is listed as always veg*n. Interesting food options, not just mushroom risotto. The chef understands how tastes work, and uses that to create. I had something called Hippie Loaf, and while the name was a little condescending, it tasted great. Hubby had wild mushroom crepes and raved.
Read moreIf you are vegan, make sure the 'accompaniments' are also vegan, as I doubt the mashed potatoes are, for example. (The meat eaters enjoyed their food too - don't get ticked off about that statement: I know that it can be nearly impossible to make both omni and vegi happy in one place, especially in a veg black hole like this area.)
I didn't notice any vegan desserts, but I would think that a phone call before to request one would be welcomed, as would an on-the-spot request - I have a feeling the chef could make it happen!
The Studio was lovely, with great service, quite a formal atmosphere, but with a laid back vibe. (We arrived in shorts and were welcomed the same as the lady in a long black dress.) It is very expensive, but if you want a special occasion meal, this is it.
Pros: Veg*n food on HHI, Proper service, Understands good veg food
Cons: Expensive

great vegan labels - Edit
This is a somewhat upscale restaurant close to the beach that has multiple vegan options which are clearly labeled. The waitor was knowledgeable and friendly. We even had a baby in our group and they were very accomodating by giving us a private room!
Read morePros: clearly labeled vegan options, exceptional service, close to beach
