We dined outside and it was perfect! They did a wonderful job designing the outdoor area. It's very zen-like. The food was outstanding as was the service.

We love coming to Chive Blossom! The food is great and so is the service. We had dinner this evening and sat at the community table. The chairs were not comfortable sitting there for any length of time. New cushioned chairs are highly recommended

We love Chive Blossom Cafe! Every trip to Pawleys Island includes at least one dinner or lunch at Chive Blossom. It’s become one of our favorite traditions.

Music was too loud on top of the restaurant noise but the food was delicious and service excellent! Will definitely return but tone it down for dinner- rock doesn’t suit the ambiance!

Our server - Tyson was fantastic and he elevated our experience. We enjoyed our meal and were never rushed. The halibut is something I look forward with the creamy dill potatoes. We ended the night with the Toffee cheesecake which was delicious and a yummy espresso martini.

We always love the food. Server was great. But last night we happened to be near a very loud group. But that could change next time; and the food won’t. So we will go back
