Since its establishment in 2004, Bistro 217 has been a culinary trailblazer in Pawleys Island, elevating lunch and dinner experiences with a fusion of Asian-Pacific flavors and traditional Lowcountry favorites. The chef/owner’s attention to detail is seen in each meal from the fried shrimp Bahn Mi, a Vietnamese-inspired sandwich, to the petite crabcakes, to fresh flounder brought in from local fishermen. This gem pleases visitors and locals alike as does their sister restaurant, The Rustic Table, just next door.
