I had the Kansas City strip steak cooked medium well. It was perfectly cooked. It came with mashed potatoes, which were good and green beans that could have used more seasoning. My husband had the surf and turf. It consisted of one shrimp on top of a filet mignon, asparagus and risotto. He thought the surf part of the meal could have been more generous. When it was served, the filet was cold and undercooked. He informed the server, she apologized and took the meal back to the kitchen. Ten minutes later she came back with a freshly cooked meal. This time is was very good. Cocktails were good as was the chocolate cake we had for dessert. Pleasant experience, we will return.

About the restaurant

For more than 30 years, Gulfstream Cafe has been a sought-after spot for birthdays, anniversaries and more thanks to the picturesque waterfront view and authentic coastal cuisine. The laid-back atmosphere at this Garden City institution complements the fresh seafood and southern favorites, choice options include broiled Lobster Tail, creamy She Crab Soup and jumbo lump Crab Cakes. Head back for their seasonal Oyster Roasts or watch the sunset on the rooftop deck, all wildly popular (and Instagram-worthy). *Please note: Guests are permitted to park in any open space on our shared lot.

About the restaurant

The original Hot and Hot Fish Club was founded in the late 1700’s by the planters of All Saints Parish. The social club was dedicated to epicurean pursuits; gourmet food, strong drinks and festive times. The first club was said to be on Drunken Jack Island, located just a few miles south from here. Members of the original club described their past time spent on the island as the “happiest hours of their lives.” The Club was dismantled and finally laid to rest after the Civil War. An ever shifting sand bar off the coast of Huntington Beach State Park is all that remains of the original site. The Hot Fish Club today is located in the oldest existing restaurant building on the Grand Strand. Hot Fish Club remains a favorite gathering place today for discriminating locals and is open to everyone seeking Great Food, Great Drink, and Lively Conversation, in the spirit of those earlier revelers. We pride ourselves on our personal service and our desire to satisfy each guest.

We loved The Hangout, it was so much fun, the entertainment was great and the food was fantastic! The only thing that was negative was the noise level. My son is autistic and does not like loud environments so he was miserable the entire time. Maybe having a quieter section available for people who are sensitive or having headphones available would be good. I thought that since it was a Thursday night it might be quieter than a weekend but it wasn’t.
