Dinner and a show may be easier to come by on Hilton Head Island soon.
The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina and Hugo's Seafood & Steakhouse have teamed up for "VIP Dinner & A Show." The deal essentially sets up a date night all by itself. Guests get dinner from a specialty menu at Hugo's based around the show for the evening. Then, with a promise that the meal will end well in advance of showtime, diners head to a VIP pre-show section at the arts center, tickets in hand.
First up is "Agatha Christie's The Unexpected Guest" that runs through Oct. 21. Below is the menu Hugo's concocted (notice the Beef Wellington). In the near future, Hugo's and the arts center hope to bring in more restaurants to give diners more options, said Hugo's owner Brandon Arrieta.
