GREG NORMAN’S

Dinner date, family reunion?  This first-class restaurant is among the best restaurants in town with an atmosphere that can’t be beat.  Arrive early enjoy a glass of their famous cabernet-merlot blend at the sleek and chic inside bar before making your way outside for dinner on the waterfront.  Every table features a great view the sun setting over the marina.  With tiki torches and live music in the background, you will be thanking yourself time and time again for making this hotspot your dinner choice.

JOE’S BAR & GRILL

A must for every Myrtle Beach vacation.  Located in the heart of town, right on the ocean inlet, Joe’s offers diners the opportunity to enjoy their meal inside or alfresco on the outdoor deck.  Nicknamed “Raccoon Cove” for the resident raccoons playing about, you can enjoy the wood fireplace in winter or cool breeze in summer.  With food that can’t be beat, uh-hem crab cakes and steak au poivre, your biggest worry will be deciding which is better, the food or the atmosphere.

SOHO

This trendy see-and-be-seen spot on 21^st Avenue North in Myrtle Beach has a new rooftop deck and lounge.  Channeling a metropolitan vibe, Soho offers excellent sushi with choices of nearly 100 different rolls. They also have many popular Asian dishes, including hibachi style entrees.  A great spot for a late dinner, the restaurant morphs into a lounge as the night goes on.  The rooftop is perfect for those wishing to dine alfresco, especially since Soho is located right in town. As a bonus, check out their new additional location, Soho North, on Restaurant Row. This spot is located on the waterway, where you can dine inside or opt for a meal on the more casual back deck, which features a huge outdoor bar with happy hour specials as well as high-top tables.
