There’s something undeniably romantic about the coast—crashing waves, warm breezes, and sunsets that seem painted just for two. If you’re planning a dreamy dinner date in Myrtle Beach, you’re in for a treat. The Grand Strand offers a diverse array of intimate and elegant dining options perfect for couples looking to celebrate love—or just spend a little quality time together. From oceanfront classics to hidden gems, here are the top romantic restaurants in Myrtle Beach.
1. Sea Captain’s House
If you only choose one spot for a romantic dinner in Myrtle Beach, let it be Sea Captain’s House. A beloved oceanfront dining destination since the 1960s, this charming Southern-style restaurant blends timeless ambiance with unbeatable views of the Atlantic. Whether you’re seated in the cozy dining room or on the open-air patio, the sound of waves and the scent of salt in the air set the perfect tone for an evening of connection.
Sea Captain’s House specializes in fresh seafood, locally sourced ingredients, and Southern hospitality. Signature dishes like the Carolina Seafood Platter or the she-crab soup are must-tries. Add a bottle of wine and a shared dessert (we recommend the Hummingbird Cake), and you’ve got a night to remember.
2. Aspen Grille
Aspen Grille offers a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe ideal for date night. Known for its seasonally inspired dishes and fine wine list, this locally owned restaurant is perfect for couples who appreciate elegant presentations and a quiet atmosphere. The filet mignon and shrimp & grits are consistent crowd-pleasers.
3. Hook & Barrel
Hook & Barrel is a modern seafood restaurant that’s big on sustainability and even bigger on flavor. With nautical décor and a romantic glow, this spot makes you feel like you’re dining in a coastal dream. The chef’s specials change often, so there’s always something new to explore together.
4. The Melting Pot
For a more interactive and playful dinner experience, The Melting Pot is a classic choice. Sharing fondue—whether it’s melted cheese, savory broths, or rich chocolate—is inherently romantic. The mood lighting and private booths make it an ideal spot for anniversaries or first dates alike.
5. 21 Main
Located at North Beach Resort & Villas, 21 Main is where luxury meets flavor. This high-end steakhouse is known for its prime cuts, award-winning wine selection, and elegant atmosphere. If you’re planning a proposal or celebrating a major milestone, this is your place.
