Decadent Dining Experiences

It’s Southern comfort food with a twist. Located off South Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach, Aspen Grille has been serving up such Carolina staples as shrimp and grits since 2009.

This complex along N. Kings Highway offers double the decadence: a second location of French-style Croissants Bistro & Bakery, which has been pleasing diners at its original Grissom Parkway location since 1995, and the new Hook & Barrel restaurant focused on fresh and sustainable seafood. Both are run by iconic restaurateur and cookbook author, Heidi Vukov, who was also honored as a 2018 South Carolina Ambassador Chef.
