Finally, a decent place to eat in the area!!!!!!! I've struggled for years to find a place that wasn't touristy, fried food, or seafood. I've also struggled to find a place with vegetarian options. This place is it! Plentyyyy of vegetarian options. Huge wine list. Great cocktail list. Can't beat the ocean view! The food was fresh and great for the area (everything lacked a bit of flavor though). But definitely the best place I've had in this area ! We walked right in at 6:30 on a Sunday, no wait at all! read more

Sat at the bar with my sister. Only cocktails for us at Whistling Duck. Elena made me a delicious Margarita in a tall glass. Jane had an extra Dirty Martini with 3 olives. She was friendly & attentive. The restaurant is on the pier with a beautiful view of the ocean. The menu looked very interesting and I wouldn't mind coming back for a bite to eat if I find myself Surfside Beach again. read more

Solid visit here- views are gorgeous, service is fairly prompt, and boards are large for sharing. We got both cocktails and wine and they had a decent amount of wine options. The rose by the glass was nice and they use beautiful glassware. We tried the bruschetta with the mushroom one and the gouda one, we enjoyed that the bread was soft and toppings were plentiful. The Irish cheese board was good but for $34 I do wish they had a little more bread or crackers and a tiny bit mor meat for the price. Dirty martini was quite dirty and espresso martini was pretty good but could be a bit more foamy, it was a bit watery for my liking. When we wanted more bread we did not see the waitress for a bit to ask and by that time, our dinner reservation was waiting. Will come back more to try other things in the future! read more

Great location, great View and great staff! We were here on vacation and some friends took us to this new place. It overlooks the ocean and it's right on the pier. We had the infamous Italian Stallion charcuterie and a glass of wine. A charcuterie was enough for all four of us to share and we didn't even need to have dinner after. Great wine list also. Try it out if you're in the area. read more

"We had the absolute best experience here! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly, warm welcome that made us feel right at home. The interior is beautiful, featuring expansive windows that make us feel as if we are sitting right on the beach. There is plenty of room between tables, resulting in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Our server, Amanda, made the evening extra special. She had an in-depth knowledge of the menu, guiding us to what turned out to be a perfect house special. The food and beverages were lovely to look at and so very tasty. If you're looking for great food, a personal experience, fantastic hospitality, and stunning ocean views, this is an absolute must-visit spot. We can't wait to come back and bring our friends!" read more

Whistling Duck is a welcome alternative to all the large seafood oriented restaurants in this area. We are from California and we love wine and small plates and this place did not disappoint. The bruschettas (pick 3 of 5 - great to be able to try a few) and the artichokes with lemon aioli were fantastic. We also had a nice arugula salad. We almost ordered the southern oriented charcuterie - but we couldn't eat any more. We were able to view it and it was huge - would easily serve 3-4 people. The wine list was nice. A little bit pricey but worth it for the pairing with the food and the view, with the restaurant sitting right on the Surfside pier. We also enjoyed the ambience of a smaller quieter place after having sat through a raucous dinner at one of the Murrell's Inlet bit restaurants. The staff we attentive and the head of the kitchen even came out and chatted with us for awhile. We strongly recommend this place for a peaceful and delicious change of pace. read more

A super nice place with a beautiful array of delicious, different offerings. It's a bit more upscale than the normal beach Surfside restaurants offering all the same kind of food. Owner was kind and chatted with us. Ambience is stunning - it's a small intimate setting over looking the water . I can't wait to come back! read more

Husband and I are in town for our son's 21st birthday on Monday. Tonight we were looking for something different from the normal Surfside/Myrtle Beach fare. We settled on this lovely wine bar on the Surfside pier. The view is truly spectacular and we would have enjoyed even a lunchable with that view. But, the Whistling Duck delivered in every way tonight! Our server was just delightful - friendly, but not overbearing and she made some tasty recommendations without pressure. The wine list is impeccable and extremely reasonable for the wines offered. I enjoyed an Italian Pinot Grigio and my husband really loved his Tempranillo/Rioja. For our first small plate, we split three bruschetta, and they were beautiful, creative and delicious. For me, my half of the bruschetta was pretty much dinner. We saw servers walking by with their charcuterie plates and we quickly decided it was way more food than we needed for 2 people. We settled on the stuffed speck appetizer and it was another creative, delicious small dish. We also ordered a grilled veggie sandwich to split, but we were full after the speck and now we have lunch for tomorrow. I highly recommend this elegant, but still beach-vibe wine bar. read more

love the wine selection and the food. The atmosphere is amazing as well as the view. The service was excellent.
