  • "We did enjoy the good food and the ambience at Gulfstream. While the food was very good, i'm sure that the menu was somewhat limited due to the winter season."

  • "Brunch had the usual food, it was busy and there was a line for the food, servers were again busy but responsive, would like to do dinner there soon. Parking can be a challenge but it is worth it for the view and I have heard dinner and lunches are awesome."

  • "Excellent food with great selections and breakfast lunch combo. Loved the Bloody Mary bar! Our waiter was excellent!!!"
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Although i had made a reservation, we had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table. Why make a reservation if one is going to have to wait anyway? The food was good, but the service was not. Our waitress seemed to be very out of sorts, and did not come back to check on us or refill water and coffee without being asked, and did not clear our dishes as we finished with courses. Very disappointing service from a restaurant where we usually get good service."

Have dined here as a couple,small group and also with a child.Everyone loved it there. Romantic with a beautiful scenic view.Every dish we have ever had there as always been fabulous.Whenever we have visitors, this is where we bring them. You always know you will receive the best of everything!"

  • "We have visited the other restaurants in their group so we thought we'd drive an hour for Valentines Day and give Gulfstream a try. Being a busy night we did feel a bit rushed to eat our meal, I'm sure it's different on a regular night."
    Dined on 2/14/2014

  • "The food and friendly service was outstanding. The view from the dinning area was great, and the place was clean . The noise level was very high, because the table next to us had to much to drink I believe before they arrived."
    Dined on 2/9/2014
  • "The food and service of Gulfstream has always been consistently top notch. There are few restaurants that offer the magnificent view from everywhere within the restaurant. The second floor bar is unique and quite quaint. Our dinning experiences have always been very good."

    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "We went to this restaurant for "brunch" on New Year's Day expecting an assortment of brunch fair and a nice view. The view is very nice. The interior of the restaurant is nice and the waitress was attentive. The food was barely edible with a very limited choice of items. Overly salted dried out potatoes, gloppy grits, unrecognizable caesar salad, powdered or liquid eggs and not much else. Save your money and stay at the hotel for free breakfast, it will be better."
    Dined on 1/1/2014
  • "Never had been at Gulfstream for brunch but will definitely be back their early bird special is a great price love the view"
    Dined on 1/1/2014
  • "I love Gulfstream Café, but the food wasn't very hot. I thought at first it was because of my cold but the scrambled eggs were good. The fish and the French toast were very dry, thank goodness for the warm syrup and delicious tartar sauce. Otherwise it would have been inedible. But thank you for providing me with a nice brunch on New Year's Day. The view was perfect from our window table even though it was cloudy outside."
    Dined on 1/1/2014
  • "This place was always a local favorite of ours when visiting the Murrells Inlet area. This time the menu was extremely limited. I had the cioppino - it was marginal. The She Crab soup is great! The bartender went MIA so we had to wait 10 minutes for a glass of wine, and water, and small plates. Overall everything was good - not great like it used to be. Could be a seasonal issue."
    Dined on 12/30/2013
  • "We made a reservation for our 50th anniversary and we ended up with a small table up in the bar area with no view of atmosphere. Very disappointed since we made a reservation!!!"
    Dined on 12/30/2013
  • "Better make reservations, as this place is jam-busy. Also stuff your wallet w/ some green, cuz prices are 25 to 20% higher for the seafood here than other comp places. Our waitress was Amanda W. She was great and even got my corny jokes. Was a Father and Son dinner and could not have been better as we got the table by the window we requested via OpenTable. Was a busy nite and despite our reservations we did have a 10-min. wait. Main Plates are large, so if dining with a conservative budget, you can make a solid meal from a single entree. Menu is not expansive, but some solid choices. Also bread fresh made and warm. If you want a sampling... try the not-overly fried combo platter: shrimp, fish, oysters, scallops. Can satisfy two."
    Dined on 12/30/2013
  • "As always, the Gulfstream was excellent. Brunch was wonderful, and our guests loved it. They are ready to come back at any time. Thank you for making Brunch one of the weekend's highlights."
    Dined on 12/22/2013
  • "I've found it a great place for small informal gatherings and for large special occasions. The prices are very reasonalble, espeically the early-bird menu. To top it all off, they accept reservations, which is especially good for those of us who don't like to sit around drinking whille waiting for a table."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "Recommend restaurant be prepared for the crowd as our poor server was busing, serving, etc."

  • "Gulf Stream is a wonderful restaurant, always consistent and a great atmosphere. Very enjoyable meal."
    Dined on 8/8/2013
  • "We have been dining at the Gulf Stream for several years. The service and food has been consistant over the years. All very good. Starting to get a little pricey."
    Dined on 12/14/2013
  • "Haven't been to Gulfstream in a few years and were disappointed. Prices have risen, salad is no longer included with dinner ($4 extra) and quality of food has gone done. Maybe the time of year. Only one other table occupied."
    Dined on 12/12/2013
  • "I had a very pleasant experience. I did not give the food 5 stars because I felt like my dish (grouper francaise) was missing a sauce. It was just fried fish with lemon wedges. Our waiter also did give us our check without asking if we wanted dessert. We were celebrating a birthday so we were going to order dessert. I guess it's their loss!"
    Dined on 12/7/2013
  • "We really enjoyed the ambiance and the views. The food was outstanding, a true chef's menu with delicious choices."
    Dined on 11/25/2013

This place has become one of if not our favorite places to dine out since moving here 2 years ago .Not being able to be with our daughter this Thanksgiving ,this turned out to the next best place..next year our daughter & her husband will be joining us at this restaurant for Thanksgiving Guaranteed !"
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "This was one of the worst meals I've ever had.Nothing was fresh or hot. The turkey and ham were dry. The waitress never asked if we wanted coffee or tea. The cranberry sauce tasted like jello. All prepared way too far in advance. I go there for brunch but this was awful."
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "All of our group thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Gulfstream Cafe. The food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable and the view is superb. Can't say enough good things about our dinner there."

  • "This was our fifth time to eat at Gulfstream since the end of September. The food is always wonderful and the restaurant has quickly become one of favorite places."
    Dined on 11/24/2013
  • "Was disappointed that brunch was a buffet rather than the menu advertised on the website. King crab omelette was very good."
    Dined on 11/24/2013
  • "Unfortunately, we arrived after sunset, when I think the views may be so awesome that the food quality may take a back seat to the location. Consequently, our focus was solely on the menu, service and quality. We felt the menu was limited, and once we settled on our selections, we were not impressed. His Oysters Rockefeller were not served in the shell, but served in a special dish with six indentations for each serving. He had trouble finding oysters in the dish - perhaps they were ground up - and although he enjoyed the taste, he was disappointed with the dish. The green beans were overcooked (which may be typical of southern dishes) and our salmon entrees were ok at best. We are from FL, so tried unsuccessfully to find something new."
