    Gouda prosciutto apple bruschetta and mushroom bruschetta
    Catherine M.

    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!

    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.

    This is on the pier for Surfside. We started with cocktails a cosmo for me and something for him. We decided to share the deviled eggs. They were scrumptious. Next we tried the Italian Stallion. A charcuterie boas that had everything. Delicious.

    Such a great find!! The restaurant looks over the ocean and the pier. The service was fantastic and our food and drinks were even better!! Highly recommend for date night or a girl's only evening.

    I cannot say enough great things about this cute & cozy spot! The ocean views are phenomenal, on top of the great service & amazing food! We ordered drinks (cheesecake sour & limoncello spritz), tomato bisque & the choose any 3 bruschetta. 10/10 and I can't wait to come back!

    Came here after a lovely day on the beach. Lovely ambiance, great service, super selection of plates and wine. Full bar too. Desserts. Omg. Fantastic. My go to for Surfside has now become The Whistling Duck.

    So excited that this spot is finally open! We enjoyed the sunset, delicious food and wine. Also our service was excellent! Only comment is that is a bit warm inside I hope they can work out their AC system issue.

    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.

    Sharable bruschetta (pick 3)

    2/26- this quaint gem is located right on the pier. Restaurant has great views all around. Wonderful staff, efficient, and on point! Food was delish!! Sandwiches are sharable, great wine selection @ $13-$19/glass. Outdoor bathrooms are clean and nearby.

They had a few different bars that you could order at, with the main one being inside, another little hut outside, and a cash bar next to that. They also had a pretty cool live band, with a viewing patio right in front of the stage. In regards to my visit to Hot Fish, I'd say I was most impressed with the bartenders at the establishment, who did a great job under pressure. Even though the place was packed, and especially the bar area, they did a great job of remaining calm, and even got our drinks out in a relatively quick period of time. They also made some awesome blue Gatorade shots, which were some of the best shots I've ever had! I didn't necessarily love that there were cops standing guard at the entrance, but the bar's own security staff and bouncers were really nice, which isn't something you see at every one of these places. The only downsides to the Hot Fish Club were that many of the plastic chairs in the outside area were broken and cracked, making it kind of hard to sit a large-sized group like ours (they had a lot of wooden tables, but they were all taken), and that the restroom situation was awful. According to the girls in our group, the actual, physical restrooms were disgusting, forcing them to use the giant line of porta potties. This isn't a huge deal for guys, but it was a little uncomfortable for the ladies. Other than that, Hot Fish was great, and I'd highly recommend stopping by!

They were gone in about two minutes between the 3 of us, not because of the quantity, but because they were so good. They were not overly spicy in case that's a worry. They have a full gluten free menu. The kids menu also includes seafood which I appreciate for my seafood loving crew. I ordered the Fry Basket with Shrimp and Oysters. My mom ordered the same but also had flounder with it. My son ordered a Caesar salad with a side of fried flounder. Everyone was very impressed with the amount and quality of the food. I honestly didn't take great pictures because we were too busy eating! It was a very busy day the day we were there bc of the Kentucky derby party but we were still seated quickly and our food came out fairly quickly. They take a lot of precautions when dealing with allergies and it was appreciated. They even identify that it is gluten free when they deliver the food as well. I can't wait to return and try the short rib macaroni and cheese. The ambiance is booths and tables around a bar. They also have a great outdoor space due kids to run around and play.
