With that in mind, we're exploring the best romantic restaurants in Myrtle Beach. There are a lot of options in the area. Only a select few rank as the best, though. Follow along as I point out my favorite romantic restaurants in Myrtle Beach.
1) The Library
6613 N Kings Hwy
Myrtle Beach, SC
As a bonafide booklover, the library theme of this restaurant is truly after my own heart. The dining room, lined with bookshelves, has a study-like atmosphere. The Library’s cuisine is the main character, though. The chef creates fresh, novel entrees daily. Traditional presentation and service is also key to the experience. A tuxedoed wait staff caters to your every whim, while tableside service is a nice throwback touch you won’t find at many Myrtle Beach restaurants. Order the Steak Diana or one of the flambé desserts and prepared to be wowed!
2) Thoroughbreds Chophouse and Seafood Grille
9706 N Kings Hwy
Myrtle Beach, SC
Locals and visitors alike rank Thoroughbreds as one of the most romantic restaurants in Myrtle Beach. Upscale yet inviting, guests dine in one of six elegant rooms, each dotted with original oil paintings and photographs of famous equestrian champions. In addition, there are three fireplaces at the restaurant perfect for a cozy after dinner drink. However, the ambiance isn't all there is to rave about at Thoroughbreds. The menu, which features locally sourced and farm fresh ingredients, is delicious from "The Starting Gate" (appetizers) to the "Homestretch" dinners. You really can't go wrong with any order. With that in mind, though, I do recommend the Chateaubriand Boutquetiere. Prepared tableside by your server, this meal features a specially seasoned center cut filet mignon and is a signature of the Chophouse.
3) Aspen Grille
5101 N Kings Hwy
Myrtle Beach, SC
Classic tastes. Southern roots. That’s the signature of Aspen Grille, which was reopened in 2009 by chef and owner Curry Martin. Dishes are based on traditional southern cuisine, but with a fine dining twist. The menu changes seasonally, but some of the fresh yet innovative favorites include Fried North Carolina Oysters, Fried Green Tomatoes, Seared Sea Scallops, and Shrimp and Grits. Pair your selection with a wine from a hand-selected list for a truly great meal. Even though Aspen Grille strives for a sophisticated atmosphere, an evening here is also comfortable – especially due to the attentive and helpful wait staff.
4) Lombardo’s Italian Restaurant
604 North Kings Hwy
Myrtle Beach, SC
Another gem in Myrtle Beach is Lombardo’s. A warm, romantic ambiance is perfect for date night. Picture white linen tablecloths, mood lighting, earth tones, and rich mahogany woods. Then, imagine authentic Italian cuisine prepared by Chef John Lombardo. He uses family recipes to create mouthwatering menu options like Chicken Scapeillo, Grouper Florentine and Filet Mignon. Authentic flavors, an inviting setting, and exceptional service make Lombardo’s one of the best places to bring your sweetheart.
5) The Cypress Room
6000 Ocean Blvd
Myrtle Beach, SC
The floor-to-ceiling oceanfront views of the Cypress Room attract an audience. But the fine dining menu is what keeps them there. Laidback yet sophisticated, the setting lets you relax but also keeps a high-quality tone. The menu, designed by Chef Michael McKinnon reflects his French- New American roots but has a distinct low country flair. Citrus Crust Grouper and Braised Beef Short Ribs are just two examples of the seafood and beef selections served at the Cypress Room.
