Everything was fine, but not outstanding. No real desire to visit again soon. I'm sure I will go try it again one day, though.

I thought we were in for a great night out. From the menu and pictures online, I was really excited about going here. Boy, was I wrong. The atmosphere was flat..no music, almost painfully quiet. It was 6pm on a Sat and there were 2 tables of other patrons... No one in the bar. Our server didn't know anything about... More

JD's was recommended to us for steaks and seafood. It was very different than what we expected. It has a big space, but the night we were there, not many customers. We didn't find the steak or seafood to be much beyond acceptable. Our server was not attentive, and since it has partial walls dividing up spaces, we couldn't see... More

This restaurant was supposed to be owned by the same company who owns Pastaria 811 which is a local's favorite. This is why I went but I will NEVER go again. The service was absolutely terrible and there were only a few people there. I ordered linguine with alfredo sauce and it came out in a small dish that looked... More

Friendly greeting, rustic decor. Sat at the bar, ordered a draught beer and mussels in marinara sauce. Beer was great. Marinara sauce tasted like a canned tomato soup with a few sprinkles of some dried herb. 7 out of the 15 mussels were bad. I pointed out the problem and was given an apology and nothing else. Not a good... More

My wife and I went here for the first time and were very pleased with the dinner, wines, and soft entertainment. They have some early bird specials that we're looking forward to trying next time. My New York strip steak was better than Divine Prime's at half the price and the pasta was excellant. This restaurant is a welcome addition... More

We went to JD's for a birthday celebration with some friends and were extremely impressed. Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection, drinks were perfect, and the service was outstanding even though the restauarant appeared to be completely full. Plus the prices can't be beat and are a much better value over both the high end overrated steakhouses in Myrtle (e.g.... More

As Pawleys Islands newest residents, we ventured out to find some local eatery, some place with good food, atmosphere and consistency to return time and again and with family and friends. We were greeted at the door with genuine smiles and lead to a very comfortable booth a few feet away from the live entertainment (and this was on a... More
