"Service was good, otherwise this would be a one star review. I ordered just an appetizer as an entrée, which was a special that night, the stuffed pepper. For $18 I got a single pepper filled with a small amount of meat, eggplant, and topped with melted mozzarella, all on top of a small amount of arugula. No flavor to the dish at all. I do not see how in good conscience a chef can send out a appetizer of that size and ask patrons for $18. Most of the other plates at my table were small for the price. One person I was dining with also said that her meal was unseasoned. If you are reading this and considering this restaurant: do not eat here. There are places elsewhere all along the beach with better value and better food. Dietary restrictions: Not many gluten free options here, which did not affect the review but more options would be appreciated for people with dietary restrictions. Parking: Very tight and small parking lot. Be careful pulling your vehicle into this lot especially if you have a large truck, etc. If you're not comfortable with cars in very close proximity, avoid this place. Probably also difficult for people who have problems driving at night. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Free parking lot"

Food was excellent except for one dish too garlicky. It was our 26th wedding anniversary but even though I had them make notes there was no mention of it. Disappointing. The chef here is excellent however.

Always enjoyed dining here. Our latest trip was just an off night. Both the scallops special and even the bolognese were just basic at best...not what we 've experienced in the past. Server was friendly but unattentive. Even the salads were off. Not the typical CP experience at all.

Not very impressive food. Crab cakes contain capers, zucchini and lots of mayo, I would not recommend. Portion size has decreased since we started going here, but prices remain high, it’s overpriced for what you get even for Pawleys Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 View menu

We had a party of 4. We all ordered different meals and we extremely happy with our selections. The waiter (Chris) made the experience even better with his professional and kind personality. He always came to the table only when we needed something. We would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return.
Jeff
For our dinner experience, I would rate the food a 2 out of 5. The service was also lacking, receiving a score of 2. The atmosphere didn't do much to enhance our meal either, landing another 2. One downside was the parking situation, which made it somewhat challenging to find a spot. However, there is a free parking lot available. Overall, I was left disappointed.

We visit this restaurant at least once a year when we're in the area. On Friday night, November 3, we dined on the patio, and everything was perfect. The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I ordered bourbon neat in a martini glass, which was a generous pour and featured a great selection. Overall, this is one of my favorite dining experiences. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. View menu

I can't express enough gratitude for Chris and the exceptional service we received today. He helped us organize a beautiful baby shower for my daughter-in-law in a private setting. The food, service, and ambiance were simply outstanding. We felt warmly welcomed in a cozy atmosphere, enjoying a lovely family brunch. This place is incredible, and we will definitely return. Thank you so much to you and the chef! We would give it 6 stars if we could. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5.

Had a lovely and delicious dinner for Valentine’s Day! We were so happy to had a date night for that special day, but unfortunately the restaurant was completely busy and they were out of lots of food so I had to chase for a different dish 3 times. Server was kinda lost, but it was understandable seeing how busy they was. Besides that, the atmosphere and drinks was great. It’s good to make a reservation.
