One of Pawleys Islands most popular dining destinations is Chive Blossom Restaurant & Bar. Shaded by signature Lowcountry live oaks, the establishment is owned and operated by Paul Kelly and Trina Renualt, culinary professionals who combine their skills to create Southern classics with flair as well as delicious dishes with Mediterranean, French and Asian influences.

Incredible soups are a mainstay; Trina’s crab soup is local legend and not to be missed. All soups are offered in sips to a quart. Enjoy a taste, or take home a bounty! Choose from a variety of speciality salads, sandwiches, entrees and desserts. Only the freshest ingredients are used, and the menu changes seasonally to take advantage of the locally sourced seafood, meats and produce.

We seem to have mixed experiences at Chive over the past year. Food is always super good (which is why we go back). Cannot say the same for the service, however. Last visit it was a rude hostess and this visit it was the strange timing. Appetizers came out before the drinks or the bread service (wasn't really a bad thing, just odd) and when the entrees arrived, they were just warm enough to not send back (not hot by any stretch) and it looked like they had been sitting longer than they should have (fish appeared dry and not recently plated). We will still go back because we love the food but hope they address the service issues.
