Aspen Grille

Specialties

Fresh Carolina Cuisine

Dishes are based on traditional Southern cuisine, with Chef Martin’s own personal twist. Our menu changes seasonally and offers simple, but flavorful dishes with ingredients sourced from the best local suppliers.

Our comfortable dining room features warm woods and original art, making it a relaxing respite from the hustle bustle of the world outside. Several nights a week, we feature live entertainment from local favorite musicians.

Food alone doesn’t make a great dining experience — it must go hand in hand with excellent service. Never overbearing, but always helpful, our knowledgeable and attentive staff is trained to ensure the time you spend at Aspen Grille is absolutely enjoyable and truly memorable.

Hand selected each season by Chef Martin, our wines, like our food, are never static. Labels range from interesting newcomers to old-​world classics from small-​production winemakers who put as much love and care into their wines as we put into our food.

History

Established in 2009.

In 2009 Martin opened Aspen Grille, determined to stand out from the typical dining options found in Myrtle Beach by serving dishes driven by freshness and balanced flavors, and by offering diners a sophisticated yet extremely comfortable setting and exceptional service.

«When I decided to open my own restaurant, I knew I wanted to offer something different from the usual dining experience in Myrtle Beach. Something with a sophisticated, yet simple and an absolutely fresh menu. A place where people could sit and relax in a warm, comfortable environment and enjoy each other’s company over a fantastic meal and a glass of wine. A place where music and conversation fill the air.»

Aspen Grille is the perfect place for a quiet night out for two or a lively group event. You’ll find that our exceptional service and attention to detail will make any occasion all that you hoped it would be. Join us tonight and let us treat you to true Southern hospitality.

Meet the Business Owner

Curry M.

Business Owner

Chef Curry Martin is a 1996 graduate of the Johnson & Wales University Culinary School in Charleston, South Carolina. He began his culinary career at Noble’s Restaurant in North Carolina. There, Martin strived to uphold Noble’s mantra on absolute freshness, and keeping flavors of foods as natural as possible.

In 1997, Martin moved to California to take a position at Domaine Chandon Winery in Napa Valley. «During my year stint in California, I came to appreciate the role of wine with food and the subtle changes we make as chefs that can really affect a wine’s characteristics.»

Martin again worked with Noble, serving as sous chef in their newly opened flagship restaurant, J. Basul Noble. Next, he traveled to France and began working at Restaurant Pierre Orsi in Lyon and then Restaurant Michel Rostang in Paris. Upon returning to the U.S., he worked at Sonoma Bistro in Charlotte and Prestige Wines.
