Description

Specialties

Delicious local seafood, steaks, pasta & vegetarian fare. We strive to use only the freshest, most flavorful ingredients! Fresh herbs, local, sustainable products are our specialty.

History

Established in 2003.

Chef Trina Renault opened her first restaurant in Myrtle Beach nearly 20 years ago, The Vintage House Café. She wanted to try something different, catering more to the locals she’d come to love, so she sold & moved south to Pawley’s Island & started her new place in the local health food store. Pawley’s Island turned out to be the perfect place for her ~ she met & married the then-sous chef of Frank’s. They collaborated on this newest concept, staying true to their belief in the freshest & most flavorful local ingredients. After outgrowing the small shop, they moved to the location on North Causeway. A favorite of locals and tourists-in-the-know, their food is inventive, flavorful and earns rave reviews!

Outstanding food, service and setting! My wife and i enjoyed a lovely, relaxing dinner at the Chive Blossom’s outdoor patio area which was terrific. We weren’t overly hungry so we shared three starters for our dinner — grilled octopus, deviled eggs, and shrimp stuff dates. All three were outstanding. We will definitely be back.

The most amazing little treasure on Pawleys; phenomenal play on food! The combinations of ingredients are so amazing and all healthy! Will be back again and if all else; try the She Crab Soup! I’m in Love!

For anyone who likes to watch «The Action», the table by the door is the best spot. We loved seeing all the food masterpieces that were created and the hustle of the staff. Our food was delicious, best crab cakes… ever! This was our first time and now it’s one of our favorites!

High-quality, nice cozy place. Simply the best she crab soup anywhere! Good service and doesn’t take too long — we very much enjoyed our lunch.

Outstanding locally sourced menu… best dining spot near Myrtle Beach. Try the corn encrusted fried oysters appetizer corn meal encrusted flounder w/Okra pancakes for your entrée, and the best dessert ever… mixed berry cobbler.

Had the she grab soup and crab cakes for dinner… fantastic. Portion was big enough to split. Fast and very friendly. I called ahead for a table for 2… I’ve eaten there for lunch… this was my first time for dinner.
Kind $$…but worth it.

This is our favorite place when going to Pawleys. Food, service, and wine list is great. Fried green tomatoes and broiled oysters are always on point. The indoor space is cozy, and has a great ambiance to it.

Love the Resturant but I have been by during normal hours and it was closed. I have called several times over the last few weeks and got no answer or even a recording.

Wonderful little place… had the potato crusted rainbow trout and it was beautifully served with spaghetti squash and topped with crab, capers, and nuts. The depth in flavors was just amazing.

Some of the best food you’ll eat within miles! She Crab soup is just amazing & is available for purchase by the quart. I’m extremely partial to their tomato pie, although it’s seasonal. Can’t imagine anyone being disappointed in their fare.

We’ve visited with a somewhat large group — make a reservation — three years in a row while on vacation, and every year this has been a highlight of the trip.
The shrimp and scallops with grits and truffle butter is the most decadent thing i have ever eaten. If you want to know what sin tastes like, here it is on a plate for you!
Go «beach dressy» and class yourself up a bit.

The food was wonderful but the waiter named Pete tried to ruin our entire experience by refusing to separate our checks. There were 20 of us. We asked him to reconsider but again he refused. he said his manager backed him up. we asked to speak to the manager that never showed. Instead another waiter named Geri arrived. she was pleasant and separated our checks and we had a great time. We tipped her very well so if you choose to go… never never sit in Petes section! He was rude and terrible!

I had a really great time here. The food was really good and the people who come here seem really easy going and fun loving. The filet, I ordered Blue — it didn’t exactly come out blue, but it was definitely rare and it was delicious. The mashed potatoes, mushrooms and sauce were all exquisite. It surely won’t disappoint. I then ordered the Peach Cobbler for dessert — generous portion and it was really good. There was a bit of a wait… Granted, we sat at the bar and the bartender was inundated so, things crawled but the food was great, its a neat atmosphere and reasonably priced. The owners were also very present and friendly which is, of course, really nice and made the experience much more charming. Definitely a place I would go for a solid experience with friends and family.

This place is fantastic. Very very good food. We’ll worth the price. I’d like to see more non seafood choices. Service is way above. A bit noisy, but it was very busy inside, which is a good yhing. They have outdoor patio service also. I will return for sure.

Make it a point to eat here!
The food, the service, the atmosphere! It’s quaint. The crab soup, seasonal salads, and shrimp were delicious. The desserts we sampled made my eyes well up. The hostesses, bus boys, servers, bartenders, and cooks worked together as a team. You asked for nothing, they predicted everything! The group I went with ate there three times that
Week!

Came here for a dinner with the family and was not disappointed. No member of our party complained about any of their food choices. The she crab soup was delicious and the fish entrees were fresh and perfectly cooked. The seared tuna entrée was sushi grade and one of the best prepared dishes that I have eaten. Due to the place being packed we had to eat in the outside dining area but the quality of the food made us forget the hot muggy weather. We will definitely be back.

My favorite seafood restaurant period. Anytime I am down in the Pawley’s/Litchfield area it is a must to go to this place. I usually go for dinner but both are great.
Appetizer: Pan Sauteed Conch: spiced rum butter sauce, jalapeño, scallions, tomatoes. Definitely a great choice.
Main course: Fish Du Jour «zucchini spaghetti» silver queen corn, grape tomatoes, tarragon cream. Mahi Mahi tonight so good.
I also tried the grouper and the scallop cake both which were also amazing. The fried green tomatoes here are also some of the best I have ever had as well.

Ah the Chive Blossom! I’ve been here a few times, and have never been disappointed. I had a signature martini, it went down pretty easy, and the she crab soup? The BEST! Creamy, loaded with fresh crab. Wanted another cup, but resisted. My entrée was their bouillabaisse with shrimp, scallops, Mahi Mahi and crab. OMG a huge bowl. Soo delicious, even better than I could have hoped. I’m pretty sure it had some cheese in it, and I loved the fresh greens on the top. I Couldn’t eat it all so I had it for lunch the next day, and it was even better! I could have licked the bowl. We have friends in this area and we are always jealous when they check in at the Chive Blossoms. We’ll be there next year!

Cute little house on Pawleys Island. Food sounded interesting but was just so-so to me. We had a fig and bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer, the fish special with tarragon sauce, and the fried fish platter.
The service was good, full bar with a great wine menu.
It was business casual.
Bathroom, have to go outside the restaurant but, still inside the house-kinda weird you have to leave the restaurant around to the backside.
Gravel driveway with decent parking.
Outdoor dining area too-people were taking picturesthere!

A really nice place with excellent food.
Some of the menu items are in the $ 30 per plate zip code, but you can eat at a very reasonable price here.
I started with a cup of She Crab soup for $ 7. It was very thick, almosy like a clam chowder consistency. It was so good — smooth, creamy, great taste– just excellent.
I had the Asian Noodles (linguine topped with a spicy peanut sauce, chicken and assorted vegetables) for $ 15. I requested it extra spicy and it came out perfect! Great peanut flavor, lots of chicken, and a lot of heat. It was a great dish.
My wife had the Short Rib Ravioli ($ 15) and it looked great– five or six meaty monster sized raviolis.
The dining room is modestly sized, but they have a big outdoor dining room off to the side.
This was a very enjoyable meal, one of the better meals we had on Pawleys Island.
