I went there and really enjoyed my meal. I raved about how good my eggplant Parmigiano was and could not wait to go back. So...I told my friends and went back the following week. What a major disappointment! I ordered Chicken Parmigiano. The sauce tasted nothing like the week before. The red sauce was almost brown and tasted burnt and sour. It was terrible. My friends felt the same. Needless to say I will not be returning ever to the restaurant. I could not eat most of the meal. I left hungry and dissatisfied. Really do you think restaurants don't think folks notice burnt bad tasting food? read more

Excellent food, pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere inside from this nondescript strip mall spot. Mango salsa topped Tilapia with fresh veggies was the best I've ever had. The fried green tomatoes were greasy but interesting (first time I had these). The bartender, Maggie, was excellent and very personable. Live music was an unexpected treat with a small dance floor. Next time I'm going in for the extensive martini list and I think it'll be the Moundz dessert martini, coconut and chocolate, what's not to like! Highly recommend this place. Go Tuesday for the $14.95 prime rib special. read more

Martini - Italian Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

awsome went there 4 happrhour in stead we had dinner spiceysauage with pasta it was great service great two will go back again

Second time in a month for Martini. It was for our anniversary. We sat at the same table with the same server, Kayla, and she was wonderful. I had the salmon, blackened with sauteed spinach with blue cheese over the top. The best salmon I have ever had by far. My wife had the twin lobster tails as always and they were very nice. I highly recommend Martini to anyone. Oh yes the happy hour is one of the best and busiest around. read more

Great appetizers, drink special! Pasta was a little over cooked, but the thing that I can't get past is the bread! Why? Doughy frozen breadsticks similar to "the garden" but with less flavor! read more

Such a wonderful dining experience! Christina our server was incredible. Food was great! Martinis were wonderful as well! Would recommend!

My nephew and niece took me there thought the food was awesome I will be to get blacken tips the person at bar said they was great our waiter was great took excellent care of us that makes a place place was so clean read more

This is our favorite place. We love Paige and Rob the owners. The food is excellent from there impressive happy hour menu to their regular menu. We have never been disappointed. Service is second to none. I compare other restaurants service to there's. Often it does not measure up. We love sitting at the bar. It's almost like a "Cheers " vibe. They are number one in NMB in my book read more

A consistently wonderful restaurant. The food is delicious, fabulous service, and great background entertainment. We have been coming here for years and we have never been disappointed; always impressed! read more

Great food and atmosphere. Had the seafood cakes and they were awesome. Also had the grilled grouper over fettuccine. Was very good. Martinis were excellent. Kids meals were very good. Kids got the prime rib and meatball spaghetti. We were so full afterwards. Wine selection was just okay but can't complain too much with such fantastic food. read more

Fan-tastic! Low key, intimate restaurant Live jazz The staff was helpful and polite Had a Mexican and French Martini which were good My carribean salad was ok. Wife didn't like hers. Fried Green Tomatoes were very good. We both like our entrees. She had the Del Mar. I had the lump crab crusted grouper. Would definitely come back! read more

We live here but this was our first visit. Wow. What a great meal and excellent service. Music was loud enough to enjoy but still have a conversation. Crab crusted grouper was fantastic. Martini will definitely go into our dining rotation. Make reservations. They are packed even in off season. read more

The food and entertainment is easily a 4.5 or a 5. The hostess and waitstaff seemed to be having an off night. When asked about a children's menu our hostess referred us immediately to our waiter a simple "yes" we do ask your server for details would have sufficed. Dinner was served promptly and hot but about half way through the course when an accident resulted in a broken glass and our 10 year old daughter's hand being cut; leaving her really upset. No additional effort or how about a comp dessert for kids was offered we were just hustled out. read more

While the outside may not look like much - don't let it fool you. The service, food, and drinks were all fantastic. We had a large group and everything came to the table quickly and hot. Requesting a change for a dish wasn't a problem. On top of it all, the prices were very reasonable. Thanks for a great evening for our family vacation. read more

I had a delicious meal here! I grew up a New York Italian and I was very happy with the food. The white mussels were amazing- very tasty sauce! I had the Tuscan chicken and almost everyone else had the Salmon special that night. I also had about 3 different martinis and they were all delicious! Jen was our waitress and she was very kind and patient with my elderly grandmother. read more

Thus restaurant doesn't look like much on the outside. Absolutely delicious! The food was amazing. Had the chicken piccata, very tender chicken, pasta was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the service was superior. Soft music playing. We will definitely return. read more

Service, food, and atmosphere were all 5 star! Live music added to the ambiance. We enjoyed the entire experience!

Second time here. Tried the shrimp & grits tonight. Best I've ever had hands down. Camry was my server again, such a personable person with a gorgeous smile and the entertainment is out of this world. I was fortunate that Stan James Gregory was playing both times I visited. Can't say enough good things about this place. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to others..... read more

Once again a great meal at our favorite restaurant in NMB. The owners Rob and Page should be videoed on how to run a restaurant. Greeting customers, busing tables, helping there ever attentive staff.

Service was good, and I really enjoyed the Italian-inspired meatloaf. However, the ambiance is pretty weird, and even worse, my dining companions both felt awful after eating different shrimp dishes. read more

Great venue. Excellent food . Fabulous happy hour with entertainment daily . My choice for prime rib in all of Horry county!

Martini - Prime rib and baked potato - Italian Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

A well established local joint which can survive the "off season" in this resort town due to high quality food and service. The owner is hands-on and worked the tables ensuring everyone felt well tended. Matt, our server, was very efficient and professional. He took the right amount of time managing our meal as well as several other tables while still giving us the personal attention we needed. The one man band, who we were told is moving to TN to retire near family, had serious guitar skills. Matt took time to explain that his musical history included playing for Johnny Cash. The music was inviting, not intrusive, and several couples took to the dance floor in between dishes. The restaurants award winning She Crab Soup was good. Reminded me, unexpectedly, of clam chowder but it was good. The in-house salad dressing, a creamy balsamic, was the right balance of vintage to oil. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and the scallops were very tender. The mussel dish, appetizer with the white wine, was our favorite! All in all a very nice experience. Atmosphere is very relaxed and calm. Diners can be casual to semi dressy and still fit in. read more

So I have been to this restaurant a few times. It is a nice place. This time I was unpleasantly surprised with the mandatory 20% gratuity for my party of 2. It was just my wife and I. I generally tip 20% but I do not like being forced to tip that amount. I will rethink about returning in the future. read more

This place is AWESOME!! Great food, live music and attentive service. Thank you for an awesome experience. The waiter was super friendly. We were celebrating our anniversary. Go there you will not be disappointed. Some of the best eats I've had at Myrtle Beach. Prime Rib is killer read more

What a hidden GEM! This place looks scary from the outside. Step inside and prepare to be amazed! Beautiful casual setting, live music and the food was a FLAVOR EXPLOSION! Known for their prime rib, but the seafood and pasta was to die for. We will definitely make this a regular stop while we are in town. Finest dinner I have had all week. YOU (yes you...) MUST TRY THIS PLACE!!! read more

Martini - Italian Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We recently went to Martini's for happy hour and we're not disappointed. Good drinks, good service and excellent food. Did not need supper. One person in our party said it was a little loud (hard to hear conversation without shouting). That said, this is a great place to go. A little more upscale than the norm around here. read more

Great food and always good service. Excellent martinis and very reasonably priced. The prime rib is so good.

Ate again for the third time in as many weeks...really....not very good....but we had to burn a restaurant.com coupon... Buser kid was ON IT ! one of the best and hardest working bussers and water fillers I have seen. He was fast without being hurried...re-filled out water glasses as they emptied.....not irritatingly every 3 seconds...nor waiting till we were parched. He replaced missing cutlery the server forgot...he noticed...went and fetched salad dressing the server forgot. He should be promoted ! Server was exceedingly friendly....but...unbelievable slow....took forever to get drinks and wine. Red wine made by the owners sister was very good...very fruit forward...but with too much alcohol in the front....i recommend the wine...but order early and allow to breathe...much improved. Apps....jumbo shrimp were awful, obviously previously frozen...or cooked much earlier...."homemade" cocktail sauce was stupidly served in a little ramekin that did not allow you to actually dunk the shrimp...presentation was applebees quality. The shrimp ($11) were just totally unacceptable...much better quality pre-cooked and frozen from sams or kroger....its simple...pre cooked shrimp should be "crisped" in cold water with ice in the fridge before serving...these were dry and just yucky. C'mon on....shrimp should be fresh at the beach. Mussels Fra Diavalo...misspelled Fra Diablo (or maybe I am wrong)...which means brother of the devil...was excellent...the sauce was boldly spiced...mussels were quite good..although not many of them. Entrees....really were sub par. I had the bone in rib eye which was fatty and just not very flavorful...with some lowrey like seasoning on it that was awful. Twice bake potato was tired....not warmed through properly...and dry...obviously pre made...much earlier..and not properly stored or re-heated. Grilled asparagus were WAY over salted...to the point of being inedible. Dining partner had a lamb chop dish...which were not properly trimmed...too much fat...and the bones were not properly frenched..and were burned in the cooking process....even most home cooks know to cover the bones with foil to protect them from burning...which delivers an unpleasant "burnt" odor to the dish. Dining partner #2 had a two fish special that was properly cooked....but the sauce was too salty...the second one waaaay toooo sweet...it tasted like a gloopy low quality chutney fresh out of the jar....could not have been housemade...but..who knows ?? Otherwise a charming place...live music was nice....but after three recent visits..the food just does not cut it....quality has nose dived IMO since new owners took over...just seems that food costs are taking precedence over quality. However....lovely ladies at the next table thought their food was excellent...and..another couple we saw later at a karaoke bar liked their meals as well. read more

This is a hidden gem...I'm pretty sure that's why no one has reviewed it previously; they don't want anyone to know! Martini's is what I would call a "locals restaurant". I haven't seen many out of towners the several times I've been. The food is fantastic. It's truly "continental dining" at it's finest. Many fish, beef, chicken and lamb (my personal recommendation) entrees. They always seem to have great specials (appetizers included). The wine list is good, but not the best I have seen. I would expect to see something more extensive with the pricing as it is. They are known for their martinis; which have their own menu. Service is great. Very attentive and helpful suggestions provided. Aside from the food, the restaurant also has a piano bar area, which I have not experienced, but it looks to be great music by local pianists as well as a lively atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special evening with their significant other, but be prepared to pay. read more

Mozzarella appetizer was beyond good. Meal was good but not great. Service was excellent so made up for mediocre food.

Not bad. A classy restaurant with live music in the bar area, this place has a bit of a "locals" vibe, which is a nice change of pace from all of the touristy places around. The focus of the restaurant is heavily influenced by seafood, I had the crab cakes, another person in my party did the salmon, and one had the crab crusted grouper. All were very well prepared and flavorful, which is harder than you might think with some restaurants- I couldn't tell you how many times I've ordered seafood at a chain restaurant and the salmon comes out all over cooked and rubbery. The au gratin twice baked potatoes seem to be their staple side dish, as most everyone in my party got them- it wasn't quite what I was expecting, more of a casserole that they cut into individual portions. The drink menu was pretty substantial- a couple people in my party got their namesake martinis and enjoyed them. Me being a beer person, I was a little disappointed that they did not stock any locally produced beers, opting only for the nation mass-produced stuff. Staff was very friendly and were not shy to offer a recommendation or check in to see how we were doing. Well done! read more

Went for dinner with my mother while on vacation. Food was overpriced for the quality, and the atmosphere was quite dark and dingy. Why on earth would you want to seal an entire place off from outside light, I will never understand. Our server, Matt, was pleasant and attentive, though not overbearing. We ordered sheet crab soup and friend green tomatoes as appetizers, and both were delicious! Their crab soup has apparently won awards, and for good reason. I had the lobster crepes, which were subpar. There was a delicious sauce, but only one piece of lobster amongst a plate of ricotta cheese. The mixed vegetables that came with the dish seemed out of place and were quite mushy. I ordered a caprese salad, which was OK, though not very flavorful. My mother ordered a house salad, which wasn't anything special either. My mother had the seafood pomodoro, minus the muscles. It arrived in a watery, flavorless broth, with three shrimp and five miniature scallops. Certainly not worth the ~$23 price tag, and nothing to write home about. My cocktail was decent--a raspberry peach martini of some sort, but it's sad when that's the best part of a $90 meal... read more

Service was great! Fabulous martinis and jazz music was nice touch. Food was delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Martini - Italian Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We were at the Beach to celebrate our Anniversary. I told my husband I wanted Surf and Turf and to surprise me. He found this place by the great reviews and good price range. When we were seated, a "Happy Anniversary" card was waiting for us!! I have to say this was the most enjoyable meal I've had in sometime. The salad was delicious, the bread was fresh. My fillet was the best I've had in quite a while---absolutely delicious!!! The shrimp scampi was full of flavor. The pasta Alfredo was perfect. The dessert was a great ending! The waiter was attentive always refilling our glasses. All in all it was the one of the best Anniversary dinners we've had!!! read more

Highly recommended! Food was delicious, service was wonderful, music lovely. We came on a Sunday evening, and there was a decent crowd an hour after we had first arrived at 6. They have early bird specials, but just know that the portions are smaller and they don't come with salads or bread. Might as well get the regular menu. But the food was very, very good. The waiter was incredibly helpful with choosing our wine bottle. We got a $40 bottle of wine for $20--they were getting rid of that kind. Not that price matters, but it was a good deal and the wine turned out to be wonderful. The only qualms is the carpet when you first enter smells musky and quite bad. Also, the hostess placed us in a corner where we felt rather cramped. When I asked her if we could move one seat over on the bench, she told me she had to check her reservations list (which was 1 foot away) and then said, "yes, that table is not reserved, you can go ahead and move there." Not sure why she had to check reservations, because the entire time we were there, the restaurant filled to 20% capacity, so OBVIOUSLY there weren't any reservations! AND--no one else sat in that particular area of the dining room. I think she was just huffy we wanted to move from our original, albeit, tight, space. Apart from that, our waiter (who happened to be married to the hostess) was wonderful, very kind and offered great suggestions and service. I would come back to Martini's (it's a toss up with Villa Tuscanna over which is the better restaurant, and they are really close to one another)...but Martini's might have a slight edge because the food was sooooo good! read more

We' be lived here for 7 years and have been missing this little gem all this time! Food was excellent, chef will gladly modify any dish! Meatball appetizer and fried mozzarella was a hit at our table and the cheesecake holy smokes will make you cry. Make this a must on your dinner list and ask for Gina and she'll take excellent care of you! read more
