Cute little spot! Our waitress was super nice and the food was quick to come out! I had the pan seared diver scallops with hazelnuts and arugula… SO SO GOOD!!!
Beginning with bread and spiced olive oil through a salad we shared and a scallop and shrimp pasta we savored, we'd return to Costa in a heartbeat.Oh.And we shared the BEST slice of tiramasu we've ever eaten.Beautiful.We loved each moment of our dining experience at Costa in Murrells Inlet.
Truly a hidden gem here and I hope it stays that way. We live on Pawleys but this is still our favorite restaurant for miles around. Exceptional service from everyone from the bartender to every waiter and waitress we have encountered. They remember us every time we go back, and that is impressive by itself. Amazing food is just a part of the Costa experience. I would discuss some dishes, but they are all great. It's worth the travel time and it's the bomb. Thanks Costa for every dinner of excellence, and we will see you soon.
Food was very good!!! I enjoyed the mussels with linguini, tomato bisque, and caesar salad. My husband ordered the halibut special with linguini. Service was excellent!!! We will try Costa again!
Had take-out. Tomato and Basil bisque was great. Everything else, not so much. Sausage and Broccoli pasta dish had no flavor (no sauce or seasoning). Even cake was blah. Service was nice though.
last night's ribeye had a terrific glaze but the meat itself sold as "prime" tasted more like "choice" and was more like a 14oz. strip steak and that for $45.
This was our first time visiting here. I must say the experience was super. Our waitress was so amazing. Five stars is not enough to explain the service and food. Thank u for making our first experience the best.
Awesome cuisine prepared by the chef. The staff were incredibly kind and very helpful with all dishes. The ambiance of the restaurant was very chic and relaxing. This is the place that has class where you take your time in eating and enjoying the company at your table.
I was expecting white linen tablecloths and silverware so was a bit surprised to enter a dark and intimate bar, behind which was a lovely restaurant with tables and booths (but no tablecloths). The sullen teen who led us to our table did nothing to enhance our first impressions but our server more than made up the difference: he was friendly, informative and comfortable making suggestions. The Rombauer chardonnay was of course excellent and if I wasn't driving after dinner would have ordered a bottle. My Caesar salad was fresh and crisp and the croutons crunchy with herbs. My wife's arugula and deep-fried gorgonzola salad was lovely as well. Since our mains came with a soup or salad, my wife had a second salad (house) and I had the pasta fagioli soup. Both were good. Fresh hot bread arrived in time for our appetizers. We had the same mains, 4 large seared scallops placed around fresh linguine dressed with butter, lemon and garlic. Scallop steaks with pasta. Amazing. With no space left for dessert, we reluctantly surrendered our table. Costa is Murrells Inlet's best.
As we are still in pandemic mode we chose to have a take out dining experience from one of our local restaurants, and what an experience it was. After spending $150.00 for a 4 entree dinner, I picked up our orders and placed them on the floor behind the drivers seat and sat right next to the bags as I was not the driver as to make sure nothing tipped over. We are literally 5 minutes from the restaurant, when we arrived home I lifted the paper bags with our food out of the vehicle. It seems sauce from an entree had leaked into the bottom of the bag and soaked it which stained the rear seat of the vehicle. I called the restaurant to inform them of the issue and the food being cold to boot, at first I was greeted by a female employee who was willing to replace the order so we started to repack it as I would return the damaged goods. A minute later I received another call from another female employee claiming she packed the food and according to her rude tone she tried to convince me the mishap was impossible as she spoke over me and eventually hung up on me. Needless to say We will never be back! I say to any locals or tourists you do not need to put up with this type of no customer service there are many other restaurants offerings close by like the Marshwalk and others. Spend your money in accommodating eateries and get what you pay for without dealing with rude no customer service employees. Hopefully the owner or manager will read this and dispense of this business wrecker, because Chris you won't have customers for long with her around!
