Review: After a recommendation from a South Carolinian, I ate my birthday dinner at Orobosa's with my girfriend and her mother. We were all completely satisfied and impressed with the restaurant. Everyone's meal was perfectly prepared and the waiter was always on point. From presentation of food, to pouring of wine, to a unique and comfortable atmosphere, this restaruant would shine in the most renowned food cities. You truly wouldn't expect to find something of Orobosa's caliber along Highway 17, and that's what makes it all the more special.

Review: First time visiting this place, and heard good things. All in my party were thrilled with their meals. Vegetables had a great taste off of the grill, and the menu had great choices. Definitely a do-over!

Review: Our favorite place to dine in South Carolina! From the Fried Tomato soup, to the Shrimp Jambalaya and Crab Cakes with Lobster tarragon sauce, to the 14 layer Caramel cake, Chef Orobosa ROCKS! Staff is very cordial, and service is excellent. Gourmet food, with Shabby Chic ambiance, this is one dining experience not to be missed.

Review: Food quality was barely acceptable. Grouper was overcooked and not fresh. Chicken Waga was mediocre. Salad was good but very sparse and no choices. Appetizers and soups are not even offered.

The service was horrible! Waitress forgot everything and had to be asked several times for standard things.

In addition, I called earlier in the day to make a special request. My wife has had several strokes and cannot consume alcohol. I inquired if they had non-alcohol on their wine list and was informed they did not. Inquired if we could bring a bottle since she enjoys "wine" with dinner. No problem I was told. When we entered we were abruptly told there would be a $15. corkage fee. Surprised but not overly offended I said OK. Problem is all the waitress did was open the bottle. Never poured the wine, had to ask 3 times for a cooler, etc. Being a previous restaurant owner this was an insult. They don't know anything about corkage procedures other than to charge.

Ambiance is also a problem. It's not arrogantly shabby, it's a run down building with outside bathrooms which were in poor condition. Certainly cannot meet the handicap regulations.

Needless to say we won't return, and we are locals.

Review: Our party had shrimp scampi, beef waga waga and a grouper in a lemon sauce. All were excellent. We have dined at many restaurants in the low country, Nantucket, Seattle, New York etc. This is the real thing. The food is the story.

Review: We live here and dine here often. This is quite honestly the best food anywhere in the area. The best dishes are the grouper and the crab cake. If the fried tomatoe soup is available - get it! The 14 layer caramel cake can't be beat. Chef is at the top of his game and the staff moves right along with him.

Review: Six of us had dinners there late one evening, just prior to closing time...the staff was wonderfully accommodating and friendly; and across the board, we all had excellent dinners...from crab cakes to gumbo. Highly recommended. Carole & Dave Mills, Monument, CO

Review: We found this restaurant to be one of the best in Myrtle Beach. Chef Orobosa's sauces are perfect and the corn appetizers and desserts are excellent. Hope to return many times next year 2007. Keep up the fabulous job.

Review: I wish you had SIX stars to award!! Simply wonderful. The beef tenderloin Waga Waga was the best beef entree I've ever had. My dining companions all had the crab cakes and were equally impressed. If you think I'm exaggerating, you're wrong.

Review: The best, most surprising restaurant in South Carolina-- unreal-- like eating in Manhattan without any expensive swank...cooked by a professional chef at the top of his game... What a discovery-- in an a old ice cream shack...4 Star Cuisine... I mean it seriously and absolutely-- just a delight. Look for a mention in an upcoming issue of Golf Digest.
