They hosted our family of 3, one being a 3 year old. They were quite hospitable and patient. The dress code appeared to be casual, but a collared shirt and jeans appeared to be acceptable despite some wearing Tshirts. We started with the French onion soup (amazing) and the low country she crab soup (also amazing). For the main course, bacon wrapped filet. The filet was incrediblely tender. The steaks were peppered which I enjoyed, but the wife could have done with less. We added a lobster tail (4 minis) which was good. For dessert, key lime pie and creme brulee. The creme brulee was incredible, the key lime pie was pretty good. I enjoyed this meal with a house old fashioned with fig. It was delicious and a creative way to serve an old fashioned. Would definitely return.

It’s become a tradition for our family to end our Kiawah Island vacation with dinner at Hege’s. We’ve been coming here for a few years now, and the food and service is always top notch. We’ve been lucky enough to have Will as our server the past 3 times, and he’s remembered random drink orders and my son’s allergies with many months between visits. He’s the best! Whenever we come to Hege’s we feel like family, and we leave with lasting memories and full tummies. Would highly recommend!

Hege’s is one of the best kept secrets in Chuck and an incredible value. Way out of the way in Fresh Fields on Kiawah, Hege’s adds fine dining with generous portions. Say it again GENEROUS portions.
First course we ordered 3 appetizers – our first mistake. They are huge. The escargot of course isnt a lot of food, but is served proper- in the shell and with full silverware and escargot tongs. Nice touch! The beef tartar is probably 8+ ounches of beef, seasoned well and topped with a raw egg. This alone is a meal. The Pate which described as “3 slices” is actually 3 massive slices. As in – serving of meatloaf slices. This eats like a charcuterie board and is also a small meal.
Mains – a coconut curry halibut and rice, and seafood linguine. Both solid dishes.
They had my trifecta of desserts – cheesecake, key lime, and chocolate cake – but at this point we were too stuffed to eat any.
Highly recommend stopping in and having a few apps as a light dinner.
Hege’s is a win and all about value. Not cheap, but in this case you are getting a bit more than you pay for compared to most in town.

My wife and I shared a prime steak, with gratin potatoes, brussel sprouts, and the salad special. The steak and salad were very good but the rest was meh. The service was great, thanks to our server, Kevin. The atmosphere was very nice.

We had dinner, party of 8, last Thursday. I’ve been to Hege’s many times and always had a great experience. They have taken it to a new level! Amy was an amazing server, professional and accommodating. Scott was wonderful setting us up, even got our wine on the patio as we waited for friends. Their attention to detail and service was top notch! All of us raved about the food, many had the Halibut special. It was a phenomenal experience.

We celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary at the restaurant. The service was great. The food was awesome. If you want a more quiet atmosphere, I do recommend reserving as early a time slot as you can. The reservation reminders were nice too.

Best Dinner and Drinks Ever!!!
My husband and I an extremely enjoyable meal, at Hege’s, it did not disappoint! The food was beautifully plated, and tasted as good as it looked. I had in my mind what i was going to have, but the specials sounded so great, there was a change in plans. I was not disappointed at all…we had starters, then our meal, and of course dessert. OMG.
But let me tell you about the drinks…OMG. i love tequila and my husband bourbon. Well…they had our fav brands. But that Margarita was the BOMB!!! it was not made with the nasty Margarita mix…but a mixer designed by the bartender. WOW.
Im still thinking of how good it was. I met one of my bartenders for the evening and i had to share my compliments with her as she delivered my 2nd Margarita.
The bourbon soacked cherries in my husbands old fashion were a great, mid point as i finished my drink!!! Then with dessert we had an expresso martini. OMG. Just delish. Everything had just the right balance and the food was great, the servers were most friendly. I would suggest you stop by. Take your wallet, but I promise it will be worth every single penny!!!

I had a phenomenal dining experience at Hege’s! Located in Freshfields Village, this restaurant offers French cuisine with southern influences. The Halibut dish is one of the best dishes I’ve eaten in the Charleston area! The fish was prepared flawlessly and the rice complimented the fish perfectly. Our waiter was very friendly and happy to give reccomendations. Our table also enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with salsa verde, the calamari, and the mahi entree. Do not leave without a slice of the peanut butter pie for dessert!
