About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
For more than 30 years, Gulfstream Cafe has been a sought-after spot for birthdays, anniversaries and more thanks to the picturesque waterfront view and authentic coastal cuisine. The laid-back atmosphere at this Garden City institution complements the fresh seafood and southern favorites, choice options include broiled Lobster Tail, creamy She Crab Soup and jumbo lump Crab Cakes. Head back for their seasonal Oyster Roasts or watch the sunset on the rooftop deck, all wildly popular (and Instagram-worthy). *Please note: Guests are permitted to park in any open space on our shared lot.

    Excellent service and delicious food as always! Parking is more of a challenge since the Quay opened but still worth the little bit of hassel.

    Reservation was at 730 - didn’t get seated till 810. Didn’t get our food till after 9. Said the kitchen was backed up. Just way too late. Service was good but just no excuse for the lateness.

    Shana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the delay in seating and service during your most recent visit. While we're glad to hear that you found the service to be good and the atmosphere quiet, we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait that long—especially with a reservation in place. The kitchen backup that evening was not up to our standards, and we will actively work on improving our flow to prevent this from happening again. We truly appreciate your patience and hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide the timely experience you deserve. Warm regards, Dakota Kruse Manager Gulfstream Cafe (843) 651-8808

    The ambience and service was excellent. Food was good and as expected from 15 years of visiting. Parking was a huge problem, Resulted in taking a vehicle back to rental and making 2 trips to get there . Finding a space for 1 vehicle took a long time and very difficult! This added a great deal of stress to the dinner/ evening.

    Peggy, Thank you for your support over the last 15 years, it truly means a lot to us. I'm glad you enjoyed the food, service, and ambience, but I'm truly sorry the parking situation caused so much stress. I understand how frustrating that must have been and how it impacted your evening. I hope to make your next visit a more relaxing experience. Please feel free to contact me directly so that I can see to it that your next visit is nothing short of exceptional. Warm regards, Dakota Kruse Manager Gulfstream Cafe (843) 651-8808
