We celebrated our anniversary dinner here with our entire family. It was great, we all enjoyed our meals thoroughly, the servers were super patient and attentive, and made our celebration a great experience.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! Absolutely beautiful French bistro inspired decor! And the chef inspired menu!! If I died tonight I'd be glad that was my last meal! The braised short ribs melt in your mouth and the ice cream flight is a perfect end to a perfect meal! And all served by friendly professionals, who are so well informed on their menu!! Make sure you put this bistro on your restaurant bucket list when your even near pawleys island sc!
As always, great service, excellent food options and drink options. The ambiance is wonderful with spacious seating for locals or visitors.
My family and I dined here the week of Thanksgiving. We had reservations ahead of time, so not sure of a wait, but it was decently crowded. The outdoor patio is surprisingly large and nice. It was mostly covered and heated but you felt like you were sitting outside still, which was very nice. The waitress was very kind and attentive. The rolls to start were good, but I will say I was surprised by the pepper or jalapeño in the corn bread muffin, so that wasn't my favorite. I ordered the filet, with mashed potatoes and the cheese potato (I know. Lots of starch! Haha). While it wasn't the best I've ever had, all was very good. Both the steak and mashed potatoes were a little bit on the dry side, but I did like the béarnaise it came with. It came with shrimp, which I unfortunately do not eat, but they couldn't switch for anything so I just have to my family. I forgot to take pics, so I guess I'll have to go back and take some next time!
Honestly, I've heard good things about this place from my parents that frequent this restaurant. I didn't want anything crazy so I opted for their macaroni and cheese. It was phenomenal!!! Creamy and so flavorful!! Our server was so friendly and the place is lovely inside.
Amazing lunch specials with beautiful produce. The atmosphere was inviting and wine was chilled perfectly. The best part was the amazing homemade ice cream at the end!
We are so glad we can back here. We had an awesome dinner here tonight! Started with a delicious cocktail and bread basket, and then split a wedge salad. Honestly the portions here are pretty good sized so we were too full to have desert so think about either an appetizer or a desert. I chose the beautiful filet mignon with shrimp dish and it was epic. Would order it again in a heartbeat. Wife liked her wahoo fish dish. Great place!
Bistro 217 is a bit of a hike for us. We always Uber. I wish they would open one up in Murrells Inlet. We had reservations and looked to see if there was room at the bar. No !! But surprise, surprise they actually have two bars. After seating ourselves at the second bar, we ordered our cocktails. We decided to split the carpaccio. This dish was huge and delicious. It had a salad on top of it with arugula, fennel and fried artichokes. What a great dish to start with. I seemed to be full after the carpaccio. He ordered the grilled chicken orzo. I looked over and he is the winner of the clean plate club. For dessert, we shared the Meyer lemon tart. DELICIOUS !!! After loosening our belts, we ordered our Uber to go home. This has really become one of my favorite places. If you see me there, stop by and say hello.
I have been here for lunch a couple of time and sat outside for dinner prior to the Pandemic so it's been a while since we have been here. We came here because we couldn't get into Chive blossoms and Frank's this weekend and we were not disappointed. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive from start to finish. Our drinks were all well made and our group has a few. All of our dishes were delicious. My local flounder with garlic potatoes and fried okra was fresh and well seasoned. I have no complaints. The inside seatings were a bit dark without any real ambient, just very busy. If we had a choice I would have preferred to sit out on the patio which is nicer but not quite as nice as Chive Blossoms outdoors and not as large as Frank's outdoor. Overall I would come here again.
