A great date night doesn’t have to be complicated. Add ocean views, fresh seafood, handcrafted drinks and a little live music, and you already have the makings of a memorable Myrtle Beach evening.
Located directly along the Atlantic, Sea Captain’s House offers a relaxed yet special setting for everything from a casual vacation date to an anniversary dinner or spontaneous night out. Here’s how to turn an evening at Sea Captain’s House into the perfect coastal date night.
Start With Drinks by the Ocean
Ease into the evening with a drink and some time to enjoy the view.
The Shipyard, our outdoor oceanfront bar and entertainment venue, offers handcrafted cocktails, coastal breezes and panoramic views of the Atlantic. If you prefer something indoors, the Chart Bar offers an elevated atmosphere with an extensive wine selection, premium spirits and cocktails.
It’s the perfect opportunity to settle in, catch up and enjoy a little extra time together before dinner.
Share Something to Start
Date night is a great excuse to order a couple of appetizers for the table. Sharing a few dishes also lets you sample a wider range of the menu before choosing your entrées.
Try the Prince Edward Island Mussels in lemon butter broth, split an order of Crab Croustades, or add a little heat with our Bang-Bang Shrimp. For a Sea Captain’s House classic, you can never go wrong with a cup of our award-winning She Crab Soup.
Choose Your Perfect Dinner
Whether you both love seafood or have completely different tastes, there are plenty of options for building the perfect dinner.
Seafood lovers can choose from dishes like Honey Butter Scallops, Southern Crab Cakes, Chilean Sea Bass, or one of our fresh Seaside Selections. If one of you is craving something from land instead, the dinner menu also includes options like Prime Ribeye Steak, Filet of Beef, and Braised Short Ribs.
And if you can’t decide between the two, the Land & Sea pairs an 8-ounce filet of beef with jumbo fried shrimp.
Make the View Part of the Evening
At Sea Captain’s House, the scenery does a lot of the date-night planning for you. The restaurant was designed so every guest can enjoy an oceanfront view, whether you’re seated beside a window or elsewhere in the dining room. Plan dinner around the evening hours and you can watch the light change over the Atlantic while enjoying your meal with no elaborate itinerary necessary.
Save Room for Something Sweet
No date night is complete without dessert, especially when you can share. Sea Captain’s House continues to serve longtime favorites while also introducing new flavors, including the Coconut Custard Layer Cake, which joined the menu as part of our recent updates. Or order two desserts. It is date night, after all!
