The fish of the day was sea bass in a delicate tarragon buerre blanc over zucchini noodles. Seared Tuna was also enjoyed by several. Flounder on an okra cake was unique and yummy but the flounder was unexpectedly fried. Pork ribeye (I've never seen that before) was huge.

Stopped by on our way from Myrtle Beach going to Charleston in time for Sunday Brunch at the Rustic Table. So far the best meal on our trip. The wedge salad had a great flavor. The shrimp and gritz had sausage and this completely set this far above any other shrimp and grits I have had. My wife had the smash burger. The onion jam complemented the other tastes to create a unique delicious taste. However good that was it was not as good as the slaw and the collard greens. Service was quick and attentive. We highly recommend the Rustic Table. read more

The setting is second to none. We (grandparents, parents, friends, teens and little one) always enjoy dinner on the upper deck, overlooking the marina as the sun sets over the water. The views are stunning, (Insta-mazing) the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it is the perfect way to close out a week at the beach. This year, however, it was the people who made the evening unforgettable. During dinner, we learned that our vehicle was in the process of being towed. Before we even knew what was happening, manager Jason Burch personally came to find us and alert us to the situation. He didn't simply notify us and move on--he stayed with us, helped us navigate the issue, and made sure everything was resolved. He even offered to pay the towing fee himself and help us find another parking space. That level of concern, generosity, and personal accountability is something you rarely encounter anywhere today. Our server, Graydon, was equally outstanding. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great evening. Even with the unexpected stress of the parking situation, Graydon kept us laughing. Anyone can provide good food and beautiful views. What sets Gulfstream Cafe apart is its people. Jason Burch demonstrated extraordinary leadership and hospitality and delivered outstanding service from start to finish. Together, they turned what could have been a frustrating end to our vacation into a reminder of why we have chosen Gulfstream Cafe year after year for more than a decade and a half. Thank yous in spades to the Gulfstream Cafe team. We look forward to returning next year for year number 17.
