Faces of Lowcountry Hospitality featuring…
Misty Marshall
Poseidon and The Rooftop Bar, General Manager
How long have you lived here and what do you like most about it?
I moved to Hilton Head in 2005. Having grown up in the small town of New Concord, Ohio, I have always appreciated the “slow pace” of the Lowcountry. The small-town feel was very comforting when I first moved to the area.
What’s one thing you miss about Hilton Head Island’s olden days?
I miss some of the old shops and restaurants that have come and gone – Loose Lucy’s, Internet Cafe, Market Street Cafe, Monkey Business, and Murphy’s, to name a few.
What’s one thing you love about recent changes to the island?
I really enjoy Celebration Park and the various upgrades throughout the south end area.
What question do you get asked most often by our visitors? And what is your answer?
Visitors most often ask where the locals go for dinner. Since I live in Bluffton, Nectar in Old Town is always a go-to. I also recommend Pomodori and Calhoun’s. While on the island, I love WiseGuys and French Bakery.
Unofficial Poll: Where do most of our visitors hail from, in your experience?
In my experience, many visitors come from Ohio. Like myself, many fall in love with the area and are eventually lucky enough to call Hilton Head “home.”
If you had to recommend one item from the Poseidon menu to your guests, what would it be?
I would recommend the New Bedford Scallops, served with a baked sweet potato and haricots verts, followed by a slice of our homemade Key Lime pie.
Favorite Annual Event or Festival?
I love the Lantern Parade. It is unlike anything I have ever seen, and I enjoy seeing everyone’s creativity and vision come to life.
If you had to recommend a visitor do ONE thing before they leave town, what would it be?
I would encourage everyone to see the Lowcountry from the water, whether by renting a kayak or taking a dolphin or sunset cruise. Hilton Head is best enjoyed outdoors, and its natural beauty is a significant part of its draw.
