The Wyld is as good as it gets for dining "on the water," and their soups HAD to be on #SoupDuTour!

Ok, we realize this isn't in Bluffton or Beaufort, but we couldn't possibly host a #SoupDuTour promotion without including a few spots "on the other side of the river," as they say... You've seen me enjoy Italian Wedding Soup at Rocky's of Savannah NY Deli (I was there again today, stay tuned) with the guys from Wanderoft, and we also showcased a trio of soups from Wexford Pub. And there was no way I was going to conclude this adventure without a trip to one of the best spots anywhere for outdoor dining. We're spoiled on Hilton Head Island with Hudson's Seafood House on the Docks, and I've always said there's not a spot better for lunch on a sunny day than their dock bar. But if you take a nice ride out to the other side of Savannah, just past the Sandfly area and Rocky's, towards Wilmington Island you'll find one of the most beautiful spots I've ever had the chance to dine at, and I've made it as regular a visit as I can since I moved to Bluffton nearly five years ago. The Wyld doesn't do Facebook, but you can follow them on Instagram. Their menu is creative and fun, their cocktails are excellent, and the first time I ever ate there I had a crab soup that I've been thinking about ever since. This She Crab Soup I had isn't that one, but it was just as good, and the white bean soup they were doing that week was also incredible. They change up their menu quite a bit, and even have some special pop-ups throughout the year, such as this month's "Gatti's," where they're sharing some of owner Tony Seichrist's family's Italian traditional cuisine. I can't wait to get back over there for that, and it's imminent, so stay tuned... And in the meantime, go check them out and tell them The Indulgent Islander sent you. Thanks to my friend Chef Miles Matthews (AKA Flavor Street Party on Instagram) and Tony for jumping on board, and remember, you can jump right off board your boat to dine at The Wyld. As far as those naval directions go, consult your nearest boat captain. And if you need some company for the trip, let us know! We'll be back with ONE more soup before the Tour concludes THIS Sunday evening. So get out there, get Wyld, and get soupin', y'all!
