Vintage Twelve

I read some of the reviews on Unilocal and was reluctant to try this place, but it was within a pleasant walking distance and my wife and I enjoyed the stroll. As in other reviews, I wasn’t crazy about the service. I can’t say it was bad, but it wasn’t great either. The waitress repeatedly thanked us for our patience. BUT… Here’s the thing. The place was deserted! We made reservations for 7pm, but there were only four other tables besides us. Nevertheless, and here is the important part… The food was incredible. The shrimp and grits were truly inspired and the pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked. If you don’t mind dropping $ 100 on dinner– this food was pretty outstanding. Definitely a step up from the other places around. I recommend it. Enjoy!

Decided to go based on ocean-​front view. Felt rushed and our server wasn’t super friendly. Bread = half a corn bread muffin for each of the two of us. It was good. App = hush puppies with fondu was the best part of the meal. Entrees = pork tenderloin was requested medium arrived well done. The shrimp that came with it was so tough you couldn’t eat it. Chicken and Dumplings were absolutely not that. One lumpy biscuit with a chicken thigh and green beans that were the consistency of plastic straws. Really terrible food. Served one glass of pino and they ran out. No more pino. Was asked if we wanted them to walk over to Coastal to see if they had pino. At the time we didn’t realize that was only about 20 feet. Total $ 101 before tip. Worst meal I’ve had in this part of town in 32 years of having a condo here.

We choose the lamb mistake, it was over cooked. Lentils were the only side item. For the price it was simply a terrible meal.

My husband & I ate here for a late dinner, and everything was incredible – food, service & view!
Being a vegetarian, often times there’s only one entrée option. Luckily, it was a zucchini & red pepper coulis dish that was absolutely delicious. Also, the grilled romain salad was a great starter.
Ended the meal with a warmed chocolate chip cookie served atop bourbon caramel w/​ice cream – recommended as the best dessert by our server. It was!
Wall of floor to ceiling windows allows you to enjoy the beautiful oceanfront view. Great bar selection – specifically impressed my husband’s love of bourbon. And a nice wine selection, too.

The venue was nice on that one could look out onto the beach. Our server was very nice. However for a restaurant that boasts farm to table and a bit finer atmosphere than the grill inside the Embassy Suites the need to up their game. In general one does not ask if you want an appetizer will waiting to decide on an entrée. My shrimp bisque was very good but the vidalia onion soup was better. My scallops were perfectly done but the lamb chops were almost overdone. In addition they wee service with the mustard topping on the bone side and not the meat side. The crème brûlée was delicious but serving it only it it’s ramekin and not on a plate so as to be able to put your spoon done on other than the table was another reason for only three stars

This place was great. They accommodated our kids and we had a fantastic meals with fresh local flavor and fish.

Great Gluten Free options, (just ask), spectacular view and impeccable service. The bar area in the lobby is also very trendy!
On your way in to Kingston Plantation tell the guards you’re coming for dinner and they’ll give you a free pass.

I got the catch of the day (swordfish). The ambience is nice and the waitstaff is above average. My $ 26 meal however… very below average. My swordfish itself was cooked perfectly (perfect consistency), but had no flavor or spices. The salsa tasted like it was from a can except watered down. The carrots and lentils were hard as a rock and also without flavor. The homemade cornbread was very good as was the skillet cookie with homemade vanilla ice cream. I recommend getting one of each desert and saving some money.

Excellent food and service with wonderful view of the ocean. Will stay at this hotel again and look forward to the food and views.

Went to Myrtle Beach on a family vacation, Vintage Twelve is located inside of the Embassy Suites on Kingston Plantation. Loved it!
I had their 4 ounce sirloin. It was delicious and well-​seasoned. The vegetables were good too. My wife had crab cakes (appetizer menu), she said they were delicious.
There were only three tables occupied. It was quiet, romantic and you can see the beach from your table. The service was great, just attentive enough, but not bothersome.
I was a bit disappointed that the deserts didn’t include key lime pie, pecan pie or bread pudding — all southern favorites. So didn’t get desert.

This restaurant was terrible! My father ordered the seafood gumbo and it tasted awful. The crab cakes were tasteless. The macaroni and cheese was pasta with watery cheese sauce. We would never recommend this eatery to anyone! If I could give 0 stars I would. And don’t bother with reservations, it was half empty.

Quite honestly this may have been my worst dining experience ever. I travel a lot for work and dine out frequently. Service was slow, took 10 minutes just to get a glass of water and over two hours to get Overcooked chicken and pork. My daughter ordered crab cakes and they were frozen in the center. Again 2 hours to get frozen crab cakes in an empty restaurant. To add insult to injury my wife had to use the restroom and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom all three stalls. I am not one to complain but this was truly an awful experience. Was hoping for so much more.

Went to Myrtle Beach on a family vaca, they’re located inside of the Embassy Suites on Kingston Plantation. Loved it! Their Red Snapper was fresh caught that same day and was absolutely delicious! However my husband’s steak was too charred and not well seasoned. It was quiet, romantic and you can see the beach from your table. Everything else was delightful :-)

Great food! Very seasonal and fresh. Service was really good as well. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgable.

After reading Unilocal reviews, we decided to try an upscale restaurant in Myrtle Beach. It was a big disappointment to find that the location was in the Embassy Suites. Although the interior was nice and the beach views were great, it still was a hotel restaurant. The food is definitely overpriced for this type of venue but I will have to admit that it was excellent. We had great tasting food, a wonderful server and the presentation of the food was wonderful.
I would not make a special trip to go to this restaurant but if you are close by and want a beach view dinner, give it a try.

One word; delicious! A MUST try. We went with a large party of 11, and they had the table set and ready for us when we arrived. We were seated by the very friendly staff. Unfortunately one of the lights above the table would not stop flickering, it was very distracting and we asked to be moved to a different table away from the blinking light. The staff moved quickly to set up a new table and moved us promptly. It was very appreciated. We ordered cocktails, they were delicious (and came in adorable cocktail glasses and ice cubes). We ordered just about everything on the menu (and I got to taste it all!) and you can see what I think below;
Spring salad: Try! it’s basic, good salad delicious dressing.
Sweet potato vichyssoise: Pass. More of a sweet potato purée.
Corn chowder: maybe. It was good, corn was very fresh and sweet. The oysters didn’t add much but still a good treat. There are better items on the menu.
Roasted corn hush puppies: Try! The fondue is heavenly.
Pimento cheese plate: Try! It’s pimento cheese. You know it’s amazing. I still dream about this.
Lump crab cakes: Try! Delicious, perfectly cooked with fresh crab. Simple but delicious.
Chilled shrimp: maybe. It’s good, basic. What you’d expect of chilled shrimp. The sauces on the side were tasty.
Charleston flatbread: Pass. This could be amazing, and I enjoyed it. But with so many amazing things on the menu, I would have preferred to order something else. The bread was thick and a little under cooked. The cheese made the bread a little too soggy. The over easy egg was one of my favorite parts, but mine was a little too on the raw side.
Carolina Mountain Trout: Try! The fish was cooked perfectly. However, the menu listed sweet peas, and we were served lady peas which are very different in taste and texture. We skipped eating the lady peas, and the fish was well worth it.
Rack of lamb: try! Delicious. Perfectly prepared.
Cast iron pork tenderloin: Try! Moist and tender, prepared to perfection.
Catch of the day for us was a black bass, deliciously prepared and very fresh.
Shrimp and grits: Try! Deeeeelicious! The grits are the best you can get in town! We’ve been searching for a place with grits comparable to the restaurants in Charleston, and we finally found somewhere to get our fix!
Overall our experience was great. I’m looking forward to going back, it’s easily the best restaurant in town. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the food is amazing, everything is farm to table, and it’s a nice restaurant. I highly highly recommend!

Best place to eat in Myrtle Beach without question. Whenever I travel south to MB to see my folks I am definitely eating here every time! I’m about to make my reservation for Labor day weekend!!!
This place is a farm-​to-​table restaurant using ingredients and food from from local sources, so everything is extremely fresh.
And the hand-​crafted cocktails with Southern flair are so amazing; some of the best drinks I have ever had. The Smoked Maple Old Fashioned with Bourbon, Smoked Maple Syrup, and Black Walnut Bitters is delicious, along with the Bourbon and Peach Smash. Even if you don’t want to have a full meal, I would definitely recommend coming for a cocktail and appetizers. The crab cakes melt in your mouth! Oh and the shrimp and grits … highly recommend them!
Service is impeccable; our waiter were so nice! And the beach views. . yeah, that’s a great bonus.
Love this place! Great date night spot.

My wife’s been coming to MB all her life and me for at least 20 years. Now it’s our turn to dazzle the kids with putt putt great beaches and buffets to make your eyes pop. Well we’ve now found our favorite and it is very different. For the 4^th we did not want a monster wait and although listed as $$$ I’m here to tell you it is no more expensive than the crab legs were at the Outrigger years ago.
Both my wife and I enjoyed the crispy oyster salad. Awesome good cornmeal breaking. Light. Fantastic start. Paired it with a nice Viognier (at only $ 33/​bottle, great affordable wine list). She had the crab cakes. I had the fish special. A local corgy (sp?) that was Cooke perfectly. The kids plowed into their flatbreads and all was perfect.
And then dessert. But this did not ruin us… The waiter forgot my frangelica and served what could have been a delicious pecan pie but it was burnt. You could see it. I was surprised they served. But we ate it anyway and went on our way.
Great view. Small place. A nice break from the crowds.

Good quality upscale low country/​southern food and very inventive drinks (try the gin and elderflower Collins) in a modern hotel restaurant setting.
Family of four for lite fare on Fri night in early summer, had a great experience: 2 small plates, 1 app, 1 entrée, 2 desserts, 2 cocktails, 1 glass good wine = $ 100
Bar tender Steve was great, something for everyone on the menu. Yes a bit pricey but decent value for a fine dining experience. Thoughtful and acceptably priced wine list.
Excellent ocean views to be had. And although this isn’t an ideal place for kids they have a good kids menu w healthy meat and seafood choices. We’ll be coming back in Aug.

Vintage Twelve is located in the Embassy Suites with an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant itself is very clean and beautiful. Modern décor, and extremely friendly and helpful service. Truly a very classy gem in the middle of a tourist area. We started off with a glass of Cabernet, and the hush puppies with pimento fondue. It was over way too soon, by far the best hush puppies I’ve ever had and the fondue was amazing. For dinner I had the amazing shrimp and grits, and my husband had the fresh catch of the day which was Yellowjack. Both were cooked to perfection. I really can’t say enough about this amazing new restaurant, it is definitely a gem in Myrtle Beach.
