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.

Chive Blossom is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I think the food is always delicious but I prefer it for lunch now especially after our experience this weekend. Our waitress rushed us, was inattentive and was the only negative thing about our dining experience. She seemed to be attentive to her other tables and I'm not sure why. I know she works mostly in the evenings, so I'll just make a point to go for lunch in the future and I for sure will not have her as my waitress again.

I have eaten here many times. The food was good. I was disappointed in the ambience outside. Stray cats on the counter near the glasses and dishes. Busboys/ host in shorts sweatshirts. Unprofessional for the service industry.

Absolutely charming restaurant. We sat inside and the ambience was perfect. Quiet but not too quiet, and casual dress felt appropriate. The service was great and the food tasted phenomenal. Definitely recommend the octopus and she crab soup — they were standout dishes!

Server seemed to rush us for our order. Then when we ordered told us things were not available because menu was in the process of changing. We had to quickly reevaluate our choice. When she went to the table next to us she went over everything extensively. Not right

Prefer sitting outside or at a table. Hightop wasn’t comfortable. Bar seats are better. As always, the food is very good and servings ample.

Grilled tuna is delicious. Really like that they offer a sip or soup in addition to the cup and bowl.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Chive Blossom Cafe. This was our first visit, and we look forward to returning. This was the type of restaurant experience that has become all too hard to find these days. They really know how to cook here! everything, the appetizer, the entrees and the sides were all outstanding. Our server, Tyson, was great. Knowledgeable and stayed in touch throughout the meal. (We did not feel rushed). The ambience was really pleasant. They have taken the care to outfit the ceiling with a sound absorbing system. I feel certain that if you go you will be glad that you did.
