My friend had the pasta with a white wine cream sauce, with shrimp and... More

Conway is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina; created in 1734 along... More

This is a nice local restaurant. It is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach. The food was very good. I had the specials that night and the restaurant was not very busy. It would have been a wonderful evening with great food and wine but I made the mistake of sitting at the bar since... More

modern decor, with open kitchen, dining on 1st & 2nd floors. Different from touristy places in Myrtle Beach and much more relaxed. Extensive wine list. Uses local farmer foods, so all was fresh. Had squash soup, excellent! Angus beef burger, a little soggy. Sesame grilled tuna with wasabi cauliflower and shiitake. Fish was not very good, I only ate half.... More
