“We had dinner at Perrone's Restaurant last night and every aspect of our meal was great. From friendly bartenders to attentive servers, we enjoyed our dinner thoroughly. We tried an octopus and a mussel appetizer, and both were flavorful and delicious. The mussel sauce in particular was so good, I could have sopped it up with an entire loaf of bread. Entrees were generous portions, and the chocolate cake for dessert was really good. If you are within an hour of this restaurant and have not tried it, you're missing one of the two or three best on the entire Grand Strand.“

“I want to compliment you on the Low Country Boil and Perlo that you prepared for my golf group of 30 men. I wanted to introduce the 15 guys from the North (Michigan) to the fabulous food of the South, and you had them crying for more. The boil was delicious and plentiful. The shrimp were large, and they couldn't finish them all. My wife makes your location our first stop when we come to Pawleys every year. Well done, and your staff is so pleasant.“

“Stumbled across this little bakery heading back from the beach. I wasn’t in the mood to fight crowds or anything heavy to eat. I just wanted an iced cup of coffee/latte & bagel. What I got was exceptional service, cold latte, and delicious chicken salad on a flaky croissant. The extra politeness of the young girl who waited on me was a pleasant touch. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d certainly stop again. It’s very rare to get a great drink, sandwich and even better customer service all in one quick stop.“
