The interior there is a contemporary twist on the standard fishing town decor that is common throughout Murrells Inlet. A vibrant sea blue theme spread throughout the dining room, appearing on bar panels as well as on the walls, but a hardwood ceiling and various nautically themed artifacts that will remind you that you’re still in the old rod-and-reel village.
