    We had a very nice experience at the Flying Machine Oyster bar. We had a reservation for a rather large party and the ladies at the front desk were able to put together a large table to accomodate us on what was an unusually busy evening due to a major Xmas event. Our server, Dakota, was very attentive and was able to answer any questions that we had. The food was very good and the evening was enjoyed by all.

    This was definitely one of my favorite Thanksgiving dinners. We were in Myrtle Beach this week with friends and had convinced them that, in the South, you want a seafood meal on Thanksgiving. They were almost convinced, but not completely. We made a reservation at Gulfstream Cafe, for the location, great beach setting, and the Oysters Rockefeller, She Crab Soup, and Grouper Francaise, all of which we ordered. On top of these choices, two members of the group got the full Thanksgiving dinner. Service was excellent. The food arrived almost as soon as it was ordered, but not too quickly. Everything was delicious, and we looked out on the beach from a wonderful corner table! Kudos and thank you to the Gulfstream Cafe!
