MYRTLE BEACH. Since 1974, the Library has offered award-winning upscale French dining. Starched linens and twinkling candles adorn every table, and the romantic atmosphere is ideal for a special occasion or a date. Start with escargot, oysters Rockefeller, or classic onion soup. Caesar salad for two is prepared tableside, as are several entrees and even desserts – Steak Diane and flambé cherries over ice cream make quite an impression. Reservations are recommended.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH. A bit of a departure from the more family-oriented places that pepper the Strand, SeaBlue is a sophisticated space that caters to diners with discriminating tastes. The dreamy, marine-blue bar area is the perfect place to enjoy a martini, and the intimate, cafe-style tables are smartly appointed with white linens and candles. The tapas-heavy menu allows guests to enjoy several different dishes over the course of their visit, including pan-seared lump crab cakes, Caribbean jerk-rubbed grouper, and petit filet with crumbled gorgonzola and balsamic syrup. Each dish is delivered to the table when it's prepared, ensuring that your group'll have a new topic of conversation every few minutes.

MYRTLE BEACH. This is a favorite for its arty coffee house atmosphere and sunny cuisine. The multi-room interior is bedecked with original works from numerous regional artists – if you see something you like, you can probably buy it. The menu is influenced by the fresh tastes of the Mediterranean, and patrons flock here for fine meals of grilled Indian-spiced tuna with Cuban black bean sauce, kicky Cajun shrimp and pasta in cilantro-tomato broth, and bistro style steak frites. Afternoon visitors enjoy a steamy cappuccino with a slice of luscious seven layer fudge cake or fresh fruit cobbler. Coffee and dessert served from noon; full dinner menu from 6pm-10pm; bar open late.

BAREFOOT. Golf pro-turned restaurateur Greg Norman has crafted a fantastic dining experience here. The atmosphere is casually elegant and pure Down Under, with native woods, hand-painted murals depicting the Australian outback, and Aboriginal art. The menu carries the theme admirably, featuring grilled meats and seafood with Asian and Mediterranean influences evident here and there. A lively pub area with ample seating and a large deck overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway add to the ambience. Winner of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

MYRTLE BEACH. This elegant Italian restaurant introduced the area to authentic Roman cuisine (in fact, the kitchen staff is comprised of native Romans), and each dish certainly catches the flavor and tradition of the Old Country. For something unique, try the veal Absolute, which is served with fresh mushrooms and cream sauce. There are also a number of superbly done baked and seafood specialties – eggplant parmigiana and stuffed flounder alla primavera, respectively. All dinners include homemade stracciatella soup, tomato bruschetta, dipping sauce, fresh garden salad and homemade rolls, and each beef, poultry, seafood or veal main is served with a side of spaghetti.

MYRTLE BEACH. Mexican restaurants aren't as prolific along the Strand as are seafood joints, but that doesn't mean Myrtle Beach is completely devoid of authentic standards like enchiladas and fajitas. Reminiscent of a lovely courtyard with its colorful murals, statuary and lush foliage, Abuelo's stands out for both ambience and its extensive menu. Tortilla soup, a staple in the Southwest, is unforgettable, as is Fundido del Mar (a concoction of shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and poblanos in a white wine-cheese sauce).

BAREFOOT. Overlooking the lake at the Barefoot Landing shopping complex, this "Pittsburgh-Italian Trattoria" has a good number of folks who deem themselves "regulars." After one visit, it's easy to understand why. Comfortably decorated and imminently friendly, Umberto's is the kind of place that puts folks right at ease and lets them focus on the important things ... Namely good wine, conversation and traditional dishes like osso buco Milanese and veal chops.
