International Kitchen is a hidden gem in Loris, SC. It is located at 2126 Hwy 9E inside the Parkway Plaza shopping shopping. This is not too far off Hwy 17 in Myrtle Beach. Its less than 20 minutes from the famous restaurant row.
This is a small business owned by a lovely couple. The menu features Hungarian, Polish, and other Eastern European delights. The salads are simple, but tasty. The soups are homemade and simply delightful, especially the pickle soup. Yes, pickle soup, it sounds weird, but just try it. It defies explanation.
Every entree you can order is mouthwatering. My personal favorite is the pork chop special. I would urge you to try it if they have that.
The desserts are all homemade in house as well. Their specialty is bread pudding, but whatever you order is going to be delicious.
The environment is welcoming and warm. It is usually quiet and calm, no bad seats in the house.
This one gets the coveted 10 from me. Nothing could be better.

Chesnut Hill
Chestnut Hill is located in Myrtle Beach, SC on the famous "Restaurant Row". I've been here several times and have never been disappointed.
It starts with the salad and the delicious honey-lime dressing made in house. Other standard dressings are available of course. You have all the usual appetizers and soups available as well.
Whether you go for steaks or seafood, you will not be disappointed. They have a standard menu as well as daily fresh catch specials. I highly recommend the "Chestnut Hill Medallions". This is filet mignon medallions topped with shrimp and covered in bernaise sauce.
Suit yourself for dessert, they are all delicious.
The restaurant is fine dining with appropriate attire recommended but not required. The noise level is moderate to quiet. The restaurant sits towards the back of the property and the front half is the kitchen and the lobby. All tables are nice and some have a view of the lake which sits on the property.
I give this restaurant a 10 overall score. I return again and again.

Salt Creek Cafe
The Salt Creek Cafe is located in Murrells Inlet, SC, about 7 miles south of Myrtle Beach city limits. My experience here was excellent. I personally had the salmon sandwich with broccoli salad.
The menu contains sandwiches, salads, burgers, as well as higher end dishes such as steaks and seafood. There are several specialty house dishes as well as daily specials. There is even a sushi bar. I also appreciated the fact that the bar and the restaurant were separated by a reasonable partition.
I would classify this restaurant as high end casual. You would not feel uncomfortable in a suit, but I also felt fine in the early afternoon wearing shorts and t-shirt. I was greeted warmly, served promptly, and treated respectfully. The atmosphere was a pleasant and relaxing beach and aquarium theme. However, it was classy, not overdone "touristy" type decor. The noise level was quiet and I'm guess it doesn't go above moderate.
There is a private room available for parties and the room is closed off not to disturb other restaurant patrons.
I give the restaurant an overall score of 9. The only thing keeping them from a 10 would be a better view. It wasn't unpleasant by any means. There are trees and bushes and a nice courtyard area to see. However, out front is Highway 17 and out back is a gravel parking lot. They had no choice but to hide them with landscaping.
Overall score: 9
