North Myrtle Beach: We recently returned from our annual golf trip.  this year we stayed at Barefoot resort.  We visited two restaurants that are relatively new( at least to our group): "Castanos Italian Steakhouse" and "Midtown Bistro"

Castanos: great atmosphere, service was very attentive, food was outstanding.  Everyone who had steak said that they were perfectly prepared aged steaks.  I had pasta, great sauce, good portion and very tasty.

Midtown Bistro: a real find!  This restaurant is in a nondescript shopping center and was full of locals.  We were there on a Monday night when they had a Lasagna special that was outstanding and around $5.00.  The menu consist of standard items but there are always daily specials.  We had the stuffed banana peppers as an app. which were great.  Highly recommend this restaurant.  It will become one of our regular stops.

We also visited Umberto's and Normans Bistro.  Both remain high on our list of restaurants and we were not disappointed.  Also recommend both.

This is my first venture into a website like this and I am very excited.  Now that we are retired and do a fair amount of traveling this will be fun finding out about restaurants and reporting back on others.  We will also report on restaurants we frequent in Southern CA.
