Martini is a true North Myrtle Beach institution that manages to feel both timeless and vibrant. The atmosphere is a masterclass in nostalgia, blending the soul of an old-school Brooklyn red sauce joint with the intimate energy of a West Village piano bar. Beyond the extensive (and expertly crafted) martini list, the menu delivers high-end Italian classics, steaks, excellent meatballs and fresh seafood. The service was impressively attentive, and the happy hour is easily one of the best-kept secrets in the area. I'll definitely be back. read more

One of my favorite local places in NMB. Hidden gem from the tourist crowd, great menu, live lounge style music, a throw back to the golden age of cocktail/super clubs of the 60s/70s. No flip fops or t-shirts here, for grownups only. Bartenders are mastered and provide excellent service. read more

I love this place. Have you been more than once. The ambience is good you are greeted upon arrival, the service has been excellent and the food, especially the meat meatballs, buffalo wings for starters. I've also had pork chops, steak really fresh salad. The only thing that was not excellent was the meatloaf which was a little bit overdone for my taste so it made it a little dry. I definitely plan to go back and try other dishes. read more

I truly don't understand the big hype about Martini. The restaurant is dated and felt like we entered the twilight zone. The service and food were "below bar" while listening to what sounded like beach music. If you are bored and want to reminiscent of the past then this is the place for you. read more

Food very good, specials in the bar/lounge area a treat. Servers friendly and helpful w/recommendations. Ambiance, quiet. Wknd soft live music. read more

Normally I would start with the food but tonight our server Lacey stole the show. She was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu her recommendations did not miss. She truly was a delight. The food was no joke either. My wife had the bleu cheese crested filet which was cooked to perfection. I had southern chicken special which also was incredible. We enjoyed the live music as we dined also. The brownie sundae dessert rocked too. Definitely a new favorite in NMB read more

Brought a bottle of red paid $20 corkage fee well worth it no problem Gina did an awesome job as our waitress Cesar's salads to start king prime rib and lamb chops for supper both cooked perfect to order if you are in town make a reservation ask for Gina and have a great big grub and excellent service ! read more

Our waiter Seegi was great. The atmosphere was wonderful. We enjoyed our meal and listening to the music. We were surprised by the cheese cake for my aunts birthday. It was delicious. Absolutely will be back. read more

This was our second time here. Our waitress Chrissy was very friendly and gave us very good service.my wife had french onion soup and the Del Mar entree, opting for flounder instead of the default of tilapia. She said it was excellent. I had a chopped caprese salad and the blackened salmon with bleu cheese crust for entre. It was excellent, but I think the bleu cheese crust was a bit overpowering for the salmon. This is a nice restaurant, it has live music, and a calming atmosphere. Nice for a special date night, or special occasion. We enjoy coming here. read more

3.5 rating - atmosphere and service were 4.0 but food was 3.0. We both had the grouper. Wasn't bad but would rather go to Sea Blue for the money. read more

Impressive! I'm definitely glad I went with friends for appetizers and drinks because Martini is a great place for an intimate and or casual evening. The music was amazing too! We especially loved our waiter, Mike! He was easy to talk to and receptive to my husband joking around with him! For our next visit, we will be having dinner (soon) + martinis! E and T read more

This is my absolute favorite place for happy hour - the drink specials are great, but the food is even better. Thursday and Friday night are a special treat because they have live jazz playing the absolute best music. The last time I went, we were a party of seven and they still managed to get us seated in less than 30 minutes - - and martinis is always crowded. The staff is so friendly and professional and so are their customers... I think positive vibes may be a requirement for entry lol Food 5/5 - best mussels in nmb, everything seasoned well and cooked to perfection Ambiance 5/5 - fair trade off between hustle/bustle and pleasant music Prices 5/5 - very reasonable, HH prices are even more generous Service 5/5 - loved our server- very attentive and friendly. Same for the hostess read more

Looks can be deceiving. From the outside this place looks like a dive bar. Inside it's dark and moody. The night we were there had an actual lounge singer, it was really cool. They had martini specials that night and we took advantage! My hubby had the prime rib, I had the chicken and we shared class in wine sauce. The food was delicious! We left stuffed! We also had a fantastic waitress. If you're in Myrtle Beach, give it a try! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here at Martinis. Our server, Michaela, was fantastic. She suggested the special tonight and we went for it! My "Beef Special" with Garlic mashed potatoes was melt in your mouth delicious. We ordered the meatballs for our appetizer, and my goodness, so amazing! Michaela was so attentive to us bringing us our "happy hour" martinis to refilling our waters. This was Our guests first time here and they were impressed! Thank you Martinis, for another great dining experience. read more

We really enjoyed our first visit to Martini. The service was wonderful. We were lucky enough to have a lovely server named Michaela or Mikayla (unsure on spelling), and she was so attentive and personable. We never had to wait long for her to return, and she was so sweet, she really added to our experience. The ambience was nice, not too loud. There was a musician playing jazz, but we weren't seated close enough to him for it to be too loud. The lighting was quite dim. So it was very romantic but maybe not the best for reading menus. We started with a Shrimp Cocktail, which was delicious. I know it's hard to mess up a shrimp cocktail so the bar isn't terribly high, but we're big shrimp cocktail connoisseurs, and we were very pleased with this one. It consisted of 8 moderately big shrimp, and some very flavorful cocktail sauce. I got the House Salad which was very nice, but nothing spectacular (though I don't expect much from a house salad). It was nicely chopped with salami, tomatoes, feta cheese, and a light homemade Italian dressing. The breadstick was underwhelming but it made a great vehicle for scooping up the last of the dressing. My date got the New England Clam Chowder, which was quite yummy. Nice chunks of clam and potato, well seasoned, very comforting. For my entree, I ordered the Twin Lobster Tails. It was fresh and hot and served with drawn butter and a charred lemon, which I always think is a nice touch. The texture was great, and the lemon and butter were delicious, simple complements. Maybe not the most magnificent lobster I've ever had, but I was definitely not disappointed. I ordered it with a side of the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. I wouldn't say they were super garlicky, but the flavor was great, nice and savory. It had some bits of red potato skin and small potato chunks throughout, giving it a delightful texture. My date ordered the Martini Fettuccine, and he was just whelmed by it (not overwhelmed or underwhelmed). It was a good dish, yummy and hearty, but somewhat unremarkable. A good solid pasta dish. We got the Tiramisu for dessert, and again it was lovely but not the best tiramisu I've had. It was very cold so it did feel like it had been made a while ago (or maybe even store bought) and kept in a fridge or freezer. The flavors were sweet and coffee-y, but I was disappointed but the use of Cool Whip (or some other whipped dessert topping) as the accompaniment. I think some simple whipped cream would have paired better since the tiramisu was already so sweet. Lastly, the cocktails were wonderful, which is to be expected at a restaurant called Martini. We tried the Blue Cheese martini, and I got mine extra dirty. It was wonderfully savory and flavorful, definitely yummy if you like a blue cheese olive martini. My favorite part of the evening, though, was the Melt Away martini I got for dessert. Caramel vodka, butterscotch schnapps, a caramel drizzle, and a salt rim. I was intimidated by the use of the salt rim, but it paired so well with the sweetness of the cocktail. I won't mention how many of those we ordered... read more

Our server Mikayla was AWESOME!! All 3 of use tipped over 40% - it was that good. The food didn't live up to the hype though. The grouper was dry and over cooked, covered by a sauce in an attempt to hide the mistakes. You want good Grouper go to Joes, just saying.. Another dish we had was angel hair with meatballs. "Family Recipe" meatballs - better call grandma- because the family messed up her recipe. The meatballs were dry and unseasoned; t together seemed to be filled with dry bread chunks. And the sauce was unflavored and greasy. Pasta was cooked well but that's about it in the fish. The Filet dish was cooked to order and there were no complaints. Only reason we didn't drop review to 2 stars. The key lime "pie" was NO pie. It was a tart.. and it was not key lime sour enough to be key lime and the crust was entirely to thick with graham cracker crust over powering any other flavors. read more

Excellent choice for a top notch meal! Food is amazing!!! I Go here often! A must visit while in town!!!

We live in North Myrtle Beach year-round, and Martini's continues to be our absolute favorite restaurant in the area. From the unbeatable happy hour to the exceptional dining experience, everything here is top-notch. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is lively yet cozy with dim lighting, great live music, and a welcoming vibe. The cocktails are amazing--perfectly crafted every time--and the ambiance is always on point. Martini's manages to be busy without ever feeling overcrowded, maintaining just the right energy for a fun night out. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Martini's is a must-visit spot that never disappoints. read more

Fantastic happy hour specials! My favorite place to go for a quick bite and glass of wine. Get there early, the bar area fills up extremely fast. Mostly filled with locals who arrive before the restaurant opens and stays until happy hour is over. read more

I would give 4.5 if I could! Wonderful ambiance! Cute decor and live music! At first it was a seemingly weird location and I started to question our decision. But walking in, it's such a fun looking place. The blue cheese Martini was divine. Hubby did the old fashioned and it had a bright red cherry (like for a sundae) and a full orange slice in it with a bunch of ice. Not what he was quite looking for...he wanted the traditional with an orange peel, block ice, and luxardo deep red cherry. (The old fashioned is the only reason it's not a 5 star!) We both got the steak medium. Came with a house salad. The salad was chopped with house Italian and it was so good! The he steak was PERFECT! Flavorful, melt in your mouth good! Hubby got mashed potatoes and liked them but he prefers no skin in mashed potatoes. I saw a review to get the Alfredo side (upgrade for $3) and I'm so glad I did! It was the best I've ever had! I wish I had a bigger portion! So so good! Highly recommend! Finished it off with a key lime martini and it was amazing as well! Great food! read more

Our server Mike was attentive and knowledgeable. The recommendations were on point. The drinks were delicious and both of our steaks were melt in your mouth tender. Highly recommended eating here for a great steak and cocktail. read more

I am extremely displeased with the customer service at this restaurant. I'm astonished by the disrespect given from the server and manager this afternoon. I brought my coworkers by for the first time because I was happy with my past experiences but after this, me nor anybody I come in contact with will be back. However, I would highly recommend checking out Crave Italian Restaurant for an enjoyable and respectful experience. read more

Overall, this is a good find in North Myrtle Beach. It's not hard to find but you can easily miss it so look for the Kim's Interior Design sign and the Martini sign is just below it. The food here is good but I had a hankering for some good fish. Unfortunately, every fish entree is covered in a cream sauce which is a huge turn off for me. I've always believed a well seasoned, fresh piece of fish speaks for itself. I don't like sauces on my fish. That's just me. I'm sure plenty of people would love it. It's just not my thing. I ended up starting with the Clam Chowder appetizer which was very good. However, my wife had the French Onion Soup and it was out of this world good. I'd definitely get that soup the next time we come here. I also ordered the Shrimp and Grits which was very good but the grits threw me a curve. They don't make it the way you traditionally have shrimp and grits. The grits are formed into a brick shape and fried. I thought it was unique and and actually pretty good. The sauce was delicious too. My wife had the Filet Mignon and that was quite tasty. It's worth a trip if you're in the area. They also have a nice bar with live music. read more

We were impressed with all the staff at Martini's especially Dennis our server. We had the surf & turf plus veggies and everything tasted exceptional. The atmosphere was alive with chatter and laughter . Definitely going back on our next visit to Myrtle Beach. read more

The service was very good. The food? Meh... Numbers below are based on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is fabulous. No bread was brought to the table. When we requested bread, it was the same type of bread you get in Olive Garden. I give it a 3. We ordered Onion Soup, and it was good. Not very hot, though. I give it a 7. My wife ordered the Grouper, and it was OK: about a 5 on a scale of 1-10. I ordered Prime Rib, and it was decent: about a 7 on a scale of 1-10. I ordered a mixed drink (Old Fashioned) and it was good: about an 8. Bill with tip was about $150 for the two of us. We won't be back, because there are much better restaurants around for that kind of $$$. read more

It was busy but we made a reservation back in December for February 14th. It was kind of loud but not so loud you had to shout, the drinks, which yes, I had a few. A strawberry kiss martini. And pomegranate cosmopolitan, I was feeling pretty carefree, de-stressed and relaxed. I had the Italian meatloaf. They don't lie! I was debating between the martini chicken Alfredo and the meatloaf. I went with the meatloaf, definitely flavorful. I went with a bowl of clam chowder. Yum .. really good! My bf had the ribeye steak and fettuccine Alfredo with a house salad with blue cheese. I tried his Alfredo, it was really good. He enjoyed his as well. We also started with the blue cheese bacon dip, which did not disappoint. Our waitress was super awesome and so sweet. read more

Fresh food, decent value l, amazing service. The best Alfredo sauce I have ever had.

Dinner for 4. This was a birthday celebration dinner. We selected Martini based on the high reviews and the "best of" rankings we read. Our expectations were set high. Our experience did not live up to our expectations. First the atmosphere. It's a little dated, could use a refresh. Next the service. Great! Our server was attentive and prompt. On to the food. Mixed reviews. Started with the Mussels. Portion is very small, not shareable. Served with a bread stick ala Olive Garden. Ordinary dish, I would not order again. Three orders of the chic and or eggplant Parm. Again nothing special. One ribeye steak, med rare. A great steak for the price. Cooked right. read more

We arrived just before six...fyi happy hour is 4-6 and features five dollar martinis. It was already crowded, but we were seated right away. Mid priced menu. Hub had pork chop Marsala and I had chicken Marsala. The sauce looked like undiluted Minors beef stock...and sadly was just ...meh. If you"re a fan of wedding food, try one of the two meals we ordered. read more

The food ,drinks and service are great. Happy hour is amazing. I would recommend it to everyone 4-7 is happy hour in the lounge.

Great food, attentive service, and quite comfortable ambiance and live piano background music.

The staff here is amazing! I had a medical emergency in the bathroom before we even ordered last night and the staff and some patrons helped me through it. I was super embarrassed but they helped tremendously! I was taken to the hospital, cleared, and released. I have been here before and absolutely loved the food. We actually made reservations again for this evening so we could eat this time. Haha. I just wanted to say, the staff is more than considerate and caring. Def recommend. read more

Last Monday evening, June 30, we were a party of 8 ate dinner here to celebrate a birthday of a family member. We had a reservation & were seated immediately after we arrived.

There was a gentleman playing the piano throughout our time there. I definitely will return here again! read more
