Cool building with trendy decor and a very cool outside area. This would be a great place to have a few drinks and hang out in the evening but it's not a dinner destination. Menu is pretty limited, raw oysters were really small (oyster bits really) and I've had much better locally. Grouper fingers have sauce already on them so they get soggy quick. Service was good, they were not busy on a Sun afternoon. read more

I have a gluten allergy and it was so great to have nice choices that I knew would be good for me. Looking forward to going back very soon.

My second trip there and it didn't disappoint. Walked in on a Thursday at 4:30 for the HH specials and was immediately seated and waited on by an interesting fellow who also sat down on the bench beside me and we started talking about oysters. I had an oyster shooter cocktail on my first visit and was about to order another. As our conversation continued (did this guy have other work?) he convinced me to try more of the oysters on the menu. I ordered the garlic grilled oysters from the appetizer menu and the Cajun crab dip. The dip came with toasted bread and was delicious. I had the fried oyster for dinner. It came with fries, Cole slaw and hush puppies. My waiter came back to bring cocktails sauce as an additional condiment. Very nice. After two rounds of frozen blackberry mules we were done. By then the restaurant was filling up diners and getting loud. The bar seats about 30 and there are another dozen tables and they have outside seating. The interior is minimalist. The restaurant is a small building (at that address) near the airport with a stage in the yards for live music on weekends. A good start to our current vacation week read more

Brunch menu looked delicious but we came for dinner, and pick up with the happy hour menu. Service was quick and efficient. The atmosphere was a nice beachy vibe. We order the spinach mozzarella spring rolls, lobster slider, and bang bang grouper bites. The hubster ordered the frozen screw driver and I got 2 glasses of the Vinho Verde. I'd love to come back to try the brunch menu for sure! read more

The first few times were much better than the last two...food and service has gone from a 8 or 9 to a generous 5. Tables and chairs dirty from prior customers. Burger way over done. Lobster slide mediocre for $16 a piece should be more than memorable Service is awful. It would be nice to have more than one drink but server bartender have disappeared... Probably a long time before I come back. There are too many other restaurants near by that far exceed this one. read more

Love the vibe of this restaurant that occupies a building that was formerly part of the Air Force base. Kudos to the designer/decorator. The attention to detail, fixtures and coastal colors made me feel like I was in the FL Keys. The staffs' fun tropical outfits kept up the theme. I had the grilled oysters and ceviche with $5 happy hour white wine. I was very satisfied with the presentation and flavors. If I lived here this would be a regular stop. read more

We were in during the week for lunch so not many people were there. Service was good. Nice ambiance and would be a neat place to gather for drinks after work. Shrimp portion was but enough for lunch. All the food was cooked very good and delicious. Location is off the beaten path near the airport so nice to get away from the busyness of the Strand. read more

Had kind of a weird experience here. We showed up at 4:30 or so to partake in some happy hour specials. Ordered glasses of wine, standard fare. We also ordered the tuna tacos and they were basically one bite, mini tacos. Would have been nice to note that on the menu. The cocktail shrimp were tasty. We ordered entrees to go and that didn't work out so well. We ordered two Caesar salads and they gave us only one Caesar dressing. We also ordered fries with the grouper tacos and the fries were omitted. We called the team to let them know what happened and they said they would "take care of it". We shall see. read more

Fried oysters: 7/10 good tasting fried oysters Fried calamari: 5/10 lots of batter Bang bang grouper: 5/10 too much batter again. Mainly just taste fried batter. Po boy grouper: 8/10 the po boy tasted great. Atmosphere: 9/10 very nice looking restaurant. read more

Everything we had here was excellent. Dollar oysters. Drink specials. Cool outdoor space too.

Food: We came for brunch which is served between 11 and 3. The food was AMAZING. Light but filling and a large portion that really can be shared. For appetizers we ordered the 3 for $12 Rockefeller Oysters with Parmesan, Spinach, & Bacon. It was BOMB! This was my first time having oysters and I'll definitely be doing it again. We also ordered the Spinach & mozzarella spring rolls (we've had these to go before) they we great with the marina sauce on the side. For entrees we ordered from the brunch menu and chose The Brunch Burger which was well seasoned and juicy and also, the Cajun Grits & Blackened Shrimp (really can be ordered for 2 people). The grits were creamy and delicious and the toppings were so good! Definitely recommend! Drinks: We ordered "The Glimmer" Mimosa package which came with 2 juices (we chose watermelon and mango which surprisingly tasted soooo good when mixed together) and a bottle of Cava Brut champagne. Well worth the $20 Service: Our server was delightful from the start she was attentive and super helpful with drink selections. The food came fast and everything was hot and well plated! Ambiance: The vibe was great! We sat in the chandelier room and the lighting was perfect for the energy l in the restaurant and very comforting. The music was upbeat and fun but not annoying or too loud for conversation. The Executive Chef, Chef Jamori came out and greeted us. She was awesome and so was our server, Alicia. We also found out that the Restaurant is dog friendly for the patio area where they have heaters for the cool days and ceiling fans for the warmer days. Overall 10/10 experience! I'll definitely be back for lunch and dinner! Excuse the run on sentences. I was excited lol read more

I did takeout with the cajun pasta with blackened shrimp. The meal was very good. There was a hint of spiciness, but not too hot. The atmosphere was nice with indoor and outdoor seating. It did take a little longer than the website said for my meal to be ready, but the website said they prioritize their in-house orders. read more

My favorite oyster spot in Myrtle Beach! They definitely have the BEST happy hour in the Market Commons area that includes food and drink. Most people are hooked on the salmon burgers or anything from the raw bar! Their NEW bbq is AMAZING. It's hard to stand out in the grand strand with bbq but it's definitely the best cooked I have had in the area (not expecting that for it being known for seafood). They are expanding and currently renovating into new cuisines and an outdoor section! PERSONAL FAVS: raw oysters/ pimento cheese dip/ deviled eggs/ rack of ribs read more

Just don't come hungry. Two good things... my mango beer and Madeline, my bartender. Bland food and minuscule .. that was the spinach and mozz sticks... and hushpuppies that were ok..kayyyy except the butter was hard as a rock and didn't taste like honey butter (maybe because it was too cold?). I hate hard butter on warm food. They should at least soften it up some. For the price, I could have gone elsewhere and walked away contented. I am flabbergasted by the "great" reviews. They must be investors or employees because I cannot believe they raved about the food. I will admit, a few years ago I did order the smoked mahi mahi dip and it was pretty good and that's it..period.. done. It's a nice place and I might go there for the entertainment and one drink. I think Mackenzie needs an attitude adjustment big time. She must be related to the Owner/Manager to be able to hold her job. I've went there a few years ago and she was snarky then too. read more

Beautiful place. Checked you out as a go-to now that tourists are gone. Was hard to get the bartenders attention even though it wasn't busy. It was 6:30 on a Thursday. Had to flag her down to place a food order (calamari and deviled eggs). I actually resorted to call the online phone number to place my order and an automated voice said they were busy.... Well what???? I had 2 margaritas and still had not received my order so I left. Very disappointing. read more

I'm visiting from North Carolina and thought that I'd give this spot a try- it did not disappoint. WI'll was an awesome server!

Visiting from the midwest and could not be more impressed. The food was AMAZING - flavorful, creative, and elevating southern staples. The outside patio was super cool.

My wife and I went to 1229 Shine tonite. Really amazing place. I'll start it off by saying this a must go when you're in "Dirty Myrtle", Myrtle Beach. I will say first we went during happy hour, which is from 4 to 7 o'clock, Monday through Friday. The portion sizes are smaller, but the prices are much cheaper. It allows you to explore more of the menu at a decent cost. Food - Baja fish tacos - These were mediocre. Too much Cajun mayo that over rode the fish and soaked the taco shell. Not sure what to say about the taste because of the mayo. Tuna Crudo - Amazing!!! Nice thick slices of sashimi tuna, a top of arugula with fried capers, lemon zest, and light truffle. They knocked it out of the park on this one. I'll be back for more. Raw Oysters - These were good but lacked the salinity I was looking for. The minuet sauce was really great and enhanced the flavor of the oysters. It's a kinda sweet, vinegar sauce. Steamed Oysters - I would get these again. Great salinity and were steamed perfectly. Oyster Shooter - All I can say is I had 3! Love this combo. Vodka, lemon juice and cocktail sauce. The only negative is there is a whole lot of cocktail sauce in the shot. Service - i'm gonna start off to say that we did have to wait 10 to 12 more minutes before anyone came to our table. Our waitress Peyton, she was so amazing. Gave us ideas on things to order for happy hour and on the main menu. Real bubbly personality. She was always present and was asking if we needed anything else. Ask for her! Ambiance - Really laid back and nice jazz style music play. We ate outside. If you have a family, you might want to check out eating in the blue boat outside. Great place for a night out with your significant other and/or your family. read more

Had my Birthday lunch here today. We got there right as they opened so they may have not been ready for the 5 of us. Over all I liked the food but a little under par for the price. The waitress did disappear for awhile and my husband had to find her to pay. We were the only table there. She was super nice though. The bang bang grouper (not pictured) was the best thing we had. read more

No longer 1229 Shine virgins! Stopped in to celebrate Frankie's 56th birthday during happy hour. The blackberry mules are A++. We ate off the Happy Hour menu, having the Wanton tuna tacos, New Zealand green mussels, deviled eggs, salmon slider, crab dip with crostini, off regular menu the New England clams and Bang Bang Grouper bites, and for dessert Key Lime Pie.

Go here. We sat at the bar for happy hour which is 4-7pm Monday through Friday, which is amazing. $5 frozen screwdrivers were perfect and I am not the biggest fan of a frozen drink. I didn't have any of the spinach and mozz spring rolls because there were only three and there were four people, but everyone said they were great. Although there were only two deviled eggs, they were probably some of the best deviled eggs I'd ever had. Shrimp cocktail was great with an amazing and spicy cocktail sauce bc of the horseradish. The oysters Rockefeller were outstanding, the grilled oysters were good but nothing great. I split the bang bang grouper sandwich and it was more than enough and delicious. This is one of the cutest restaurants I've ever been in. The lighting was great, and although it was raining you could tell this place would be very nice with their windows open. It gave off comfy beach vibes. The service was good as well. At the bar we were never left needing to ask for anything. 10/10 would recommend, read more

I really wanted to like this place. On paper, it checked all the boxes for my favorite kind of place. It is local and unique, has a great ambiance, and a fun vibe. The menu was fresh and creative with lots of great seafood choices that weren't fried. I'm giving them some grace, because they were obviously short-staffed but beyond the ambiance, unfortunately, our experience ended up being a big disappointment. They weren't overly busy, but from the wait to be seated to the wait for taking our drink orders, food, orders, and food took an unreasonably long time. The staff was all friendly and personable, but our service was just not good. Everyone walked in confused because no one was even greeted or acknowledged for several minutes. When we were finally seated, the wait staff didn't even bother to acknowledge us when we waited patiently for over 15 minutes to give her our order. We ended up literally just giving it to her when she came to fill our water because she wasn't picking up our polite non-verbal cue of the closed menu sitting on the corner of the table. There was also a table beside us with dirty dishes that had clearly been sitting there for a while. It was never bussed the whole time we were there, which wasn't really a big deal, but it wasn't pleasant, and made me wonder how dirty was the back of house if the front of house looked like that? Yuck! The food was pretty good, but it didn't blow our socks off. We had the appetizer little neck clams, which were very delicious and bursting with flavor. Definitely the best thing we had. They were very salty but otherwise super delicious. I had the ceviche and a lobster slider. Neither of them was very flavorful, and the plantain chips that came with my ceviche were very stale. My husband had the blackened grouper Caesar, and he said it was very good. So my verdict is that I'll probably give it one more shot, should the opportunity arise, because I know sometimes things happen. But I won't go out of my way and maybe don't go at lunch because they seem to focus more on the dinner service and go when you have plenty of time to wait and you're not super hungry. read more
